Remember when Ryse was first being compared to GOW and sony stan’s said it was a bad comparison cause it was too, linear, with few weapons, simple combat, and lots of QTE???

Hmm.. sounds kinda vague. New gow combat is definitely better than old gow but the style isn’t as distinct. Old gow had a pseudo-fixed camera with flashy destructive weapons and large-scale cinematic boss battles. New gow with the axe is a lot more grounded and balanced relatively speaking.

I’ll take these comparisons as the devs saying “melee combat in our game won’t be Souls-like, but it won’t be a shallow button masher either”. And that sounds fine to me.

Maybe that, combined with it also being an inbetween of open world-linear (not mission based). It seems like for a long time it was either-or, now it seems like theres going to be more of a happy medium of wide-linear.

Cool

And the recent GOW games were influenced by the Soulsborne games
