Uh oh. I may try this time to get a ps5 but we'll see. I already blew it with playing Forbidden West on the PS4 Pro. 

[Paperclyp]

Oh gosh should I replay the first one? I was kinda banking on a delay lol…

Probably should start looking now for a ps5, seems like it will be easier than in November when you are dealing with people prepping for Christmas! If you miss the ps5 for this one I’d just wait for the pro lol.

 

Also they should have made the title God of War: Father and Son, I like that better. Ragnarok is so generic and already used for other recent popular things like a Marvel movie and a big Assassins Creed expansion also from this year.

now the wait begins for the next delay

[Brick]

Fenrir should make for an intense boss battle. Hopefully there's more varied boss battles than a bunch of trolls. 

[BloodyHell]

Oh man, it's gonna be an awesome few days! This, followed by Valkyrie Elisium two days later, and Crisis Core this winter. Thats pretty damn awesome.

Theres no delays, this game is ready or they wouldn't go through this. I have no doubt Sony made damn sure it's ready before allowing this date to be put out.

I agree with you on the name being lame. Also, I agree I should actively look for a ps5 now. When do you realistically think a ps5 pro would arrive?

Sort of want to play GoW again but I've already played through it 3 times and I always stall out at the end game. 

[best3444]

2024...ehhh. I wonder when Naughty Dogs next game will release. I basically will buy a PS5 for anything they create. So it might end up that I do wait for the PS5 Pro to release. 🤔 

[stepee]

Now the question is, can this reach GOTY status in a year that saw the launch of Kirby Forgotten Land?

Joking aside, it definitely will be interesting what wins GOTY with Elden Ring in the mix. This turned out to be a solid year with this release.

The Last of Us Remake comes out September 2nd, so you have about two months to try and get a PS5 before then.

I totally forgot about the remake coming out so quickly. You knew what I meant when I said I wonder when a "new" Naughty Dog game comes out lol 

[Bacon]

Maybe this game will actually have more than 2 bosses that are worth a damn. 

[Brick]

Watch it get another two week delay lol

You said their next game not new one, and technically The Last of Us Remake is their next game.  But yeah, I knew that you meant their next new game.

No it won't, Elden Ring has GoTY locked up, it's a shining achievement in gaming and one of the top 2-3 games of the last decade.

 

I'm sure ragnarok will be great and fans will be happy and it would probably be goty contender any other year... but not this one.

Before vacation I was playing the first GOW again from 05. Gonna go through 2, maybe 3 since I replayed that several years ago, and then 2018. Lfg

I've never played 3 or any of the PSP / Vita ones (not sure how many handheld ones there were but they seemed generally well regarded). I have the 3 remaster or whatever from +, I should probably replay that sometime. 

 

It's so silly to me that there's not an easy way to play them on the PS5.

There were two PSP God of War games (there were no Vita ones), God of War: Chains of Olympus and God of War: Ghost of Sparta. They were both remastered and re-released twice on the PS3 both in the God of War: Origins Collection (which is how I played them) and the God of War Saga Collection (though in the Saga collection it was just a voucher download to get the two PSP games I believe, they weren't on the actual bluray discs, unlike Origins collection). They are generally well regarded, and I enjoyed them thoroughly when I played them, though be warned that was 10 years ago. I remember them being short and sweet, basically. The gameplay is good and the controls are tight and responsive, good boss battles, etc. I recommend them. There technically was one mobile God of War game, God of War: Betrayal, but I've never played it and know little about it, though apparently it is canonical. If one wanted to play the games in story chronological order, it would look like this: 

 

-God of War: Ascension (a PS3 game that was subpar for God of War and not well regarded and put the franchise on ice for 5 years to thankfully reinvent it)

-God of War: Chains of Olympus

-God of War

-God of War: Ghost of Sparta

-God of War: Betrayal (the mobile game)

-God of War II

-God of War III

-God of War (2018)

 

I recommend all the games heartily except Ascension (haven't played Betrayal).

I couldn't finish Ascension. I finished all the others prior to Ascension, but I just couldn't finish Ascension itself. It's weird to find a GOW game boring, but the changes the game made weren't that interesting.

 

I'd say to @Paperclyp if he ever wanted to play them, or if he just wanted to say screw it and buy the collection PS3, Olympus definitely seems more like a handheld in scope, but it's good enough to enjoy a run. Ghost of Sparta felt more on the level of a PS2 God of War.

If they ever made the first two easily accessible on the ps5 I would play those, 3, and MAYYBE one if the handheld ones. I feel bad I never played 3, I’ve heard it’s quite good. 
 

edit: got a new ssd for my ps5 and installed 3… maybe get to it soon

The OG trilogy is on PS+. 1&2 from the HD collection, 3 is a remaster. Ascension is also there.
