Popular Post Conor Posted September 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) 36 minutes ago, kdogg_gamer_ said: So what I mean is that most people who dont know mythology their immediate reaction will probably think of Thor Ragnarok when they hear Ragnarok and when I pair that with other things GoW did that came very close to borrowing other aspects of games. It didnt sit well with me, I feel they could have been way more creative. Ragnarok = the great war leading to the destruction of Asgard Anybody who has either seen the Thor film or has played the 2018 game will know this. Whether that "sits well" with you or not is on you. Marvel don't own anything to do with Norse mythology and they certainly weren't the first to adapt it, calling a game "Ragnarok" betrays no lack of creativity whatsoever. Hey, hold up, wasn't the airship in Final Fantasy VIII called the "Ragnarok"? That's where I first heard of the name. Gosh, Marvel must be so creatively bankrupt to have taken its name for their movie! Edited September 16, 2020 by Stan Lee 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since the last one sold over ten million copies, making a new one was a no-brainer. Again, you're easy to please, right? You better learn some English, matey. There's no need to put other people down. As a PlayStation community, today is a great day for us! Just be happy with all of the awesome news we just received and let people enjoy things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it was FF6 and it was always so tough because you could either get the Esper or the Sword. Now the spell the Esper taught you could be learned a different way and the sword could be traded for the best sword in the game...so I never got the Esper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonesey46 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Everyone knew it was coming but it was SO good to see it officially announced and to hear Kratos' dulcet tones. Gof of War 2018 was my game of the year and I'd never played any of the older ones. So looking forward to this. Lets fucking goooooo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vampirehunter145 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 "Ragnarok is coming". And as Dwayne Johnson said on WWE shows: "JUST BRING IT". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillyrobo75 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Well, I loved the 2018 one, so I definitely can't wait to play this one. I am however not as optimistic as some are about the release date, if it even gets released in 2021, I expect it to be late in the year, but I would not be surprised by a delay, mostly because they showed us nothing, just a line or two of dialogue over a logo. They pretty much told us it is being made, which we all already knew, let's be honest, still, when I heard the music, goose bumps. For those that are interested in knowing more about this mythology and also want an entertaining read, I recommend Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman, it is a short story collection, an authentic retelling of Norse myths, and it gives a good idea about Ragnarok too. The gods are very much portrayed in a similar way to GoW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saiyanbloodstyle Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Would have thought this would be in 2022, seems a bit early but could get delayed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlanetCheat Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) Glad "Ragnarok" is part of the title in place of a "2," otherwise that would make things complicated in discussions encompassing the entire franchise. Just a minor thought about the title. Edited September 18, 2020 by PlanetCheat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willmill97 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 If the 2018 game took 5 years to make, when did development of this one begin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd honestly expect the development took place along side God of War(2018). Maybe not through the whole duration but I'd bet they were designing the realms you couldn't access in the game as parts for Ragnorok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
communistwookiee Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Cory Barlog had said that at the end of development for the 2018 game he pitched a DLC that was deemed to be "too ambitious". Gotta wonder with the quick turn-around if this is an expanded version of that, or just a stop-gap game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Conor Posted September 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2020 The 2018 took 5 years because they were creating entirely new gameplay mechanics. My guess would be that Ragnarok will be an evolution on what 2018 did rather than the revolution that it was. Meaning they already had most of the ingredients there at their disposal such as combat, progression mechanics, exploration etc. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
