[Chandoo]

If all this talk of games that sound a lot more casual has you squirming a little, it doesn't mean we'll be seeing a shift in emphasis from Sony, especially at E3 this year. With the success of Horizon already established, and the top games on the platform being FIFA, Grand Theft Auto V, and Final Fantasy XV, we'll be seeing lots of big, epic games – although many of them were shown last year at either E3 or Sony's own event in December. The God of War reboot from Sony's Santa Monica studio will be central to this – its new, more narrative-focused, open-world approach with a grizzled, bearded Kratos coming as a direct result of Sony's new global thinking. While always popular in North America, past games in the series just didn't do it for players elsewhere. "It's a franchise that has historically acutely underperformed in Europe," Ryan says. "Hack and slash games tend to not do so well in Europe, so the narrative this time around will make a big difference. European gamers love narrative games. And Singstar."

Alongside God of War Layden confirmed that we'll also see Naughty Dog's Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, Insomniac's Spider-Man, Days Gone from Sony's Bend Studio, and Polyphony's Gran Turismo Sport. Sadly, we couldn't get a rise out of him on what InFamous and Sly Cooper developer Sucker Punch is working on, or whether there'll be any word of Sony partnering with FromSoftware on Bloodborne 2. "You can ask," he quipped – but wouldn't say anything further. We may get another glimpse of Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding, though. "We're partnering with him and financing development of Death Stranding. His team has taken the Decima engine that Guerrilla built for Horizon Zero Dawn and they're using that as the base for Death Stranding. Both teams are working from a joint code base now and building on it. It's kind of like a holy grail in game development. Some studios outside of my world have invoked that kind of discipline – "thou shalt all use this engine" – but we've sort of left it to our studios to find the engine they need within the technologies that we have available."
.
Sony will also be pushing its partnerships, "We have a Call of Duty partnership, a Destiny 2 partnership, Red Dead partnership with Take-Two and Star Wars with EA," says Ryan. While unwilling to specify the nature of these deals, it's likely we'll see trailer premieres at the very least.

So. God of War, Uncharted, Spider Man, Days Gone, GT Sport and "Another glimpse at Death Stranding" confirmed for the show at least.

Also, God of War is a 'narrative-focused open world' game. Noice.

Let's see what scope it's open world has and whether it's more Skyrim or more Horizon in terms of how big the world is.



Also, teasing Japanese announcements too:

Layden says the Japanese publishers are also coming back, listing off recent games like Resident Evil 7, Nioh, Nier: Automata, Persona 5 and Final Fantasy XV as examples. "That's super important for us," he says. "I think a lot of Japanese developers lost their way chasing the mobile games yen, if you will, but they're coming back to console in a major way. And speaking of, we'll have some big announcements at E3 in that precise vein."

Also, Death Stranding!
For that movie-like story-narration...fix
...mainstream!
Hyped!

At least Kojima knows how to do it right. His games tend to be the most game-y games yet still have a strong focus on the narrative. Looking forward to Death Stranding as well.

The God of War reboot from Sony's Santa Monica studio will be central to this – its new, more narrative-focused...

Ugh... well bargain bin it is then.

 

[Chandoo]

Ugh... well bargain bin it is then.

huh ? you don't like narrative focused games just one line after praising Kojima ?

 

[TrueCoolGuy]

huh ? you don't like narrative focused games just one line after praising Kojima ?

I like Kojima's way of doing it more is the reason. If he wants to show you something he'll use a straight cutscene to show it. He won't have you walking at a snails pace in an isolated part of the story where no gameplay can interfere just so some dialogue can happen. Like in MGS4, tons of cutscenes but at least you get the full gameplay experience when the cutscenes aren't happening. And when dialogue is happening outside of a cutscene it's usually right in the middle of the gameplay. You don't magically get to walking sequence where the dialogue won't be interrupted. And Kojima plays around with gameplay and narrative as well, like the fight with Raiden and Vamp in the later part of the game. You're shooting down gekkos on a split screen with the other half just being a cutscene of Raiden fighting Vamp. Say what you will about Kojima but he's not retarded enough to let his crazy ass stories take precedence over the quality of gameplay.

I enjoyed all 2 hours of MGS4's game play too

Some people enjoy the real-time approach popularized by Half Life and Half Life 2, conversations and 'cut-scenes' taking place in real time while the game is going on.

I, for one, am more interested in seeing the Dark Souls-ification of God of War. The game play they showed last year was very reminiscent of the Souls games, especially during the big troll fight.

[TrueCoolGuy]

Wait, I thought you liked The Last of Us?

I do like it, but some parts had the issues that I was talking about. It wasn't the entire game but there were a few. Times where the game felt like it had to reign me in from the gameplay because now it's time for the plot to progress. There were times where the narrative was integrated more organically like the sewer section and the Kyle/Ish side story. Those were the times where the narrative and gameplay shined the best. But there were other times where they clearly made the choice to let the narrative take precedence over gameplay. Like when you get to the sniper part in the neighborhood. You can't actually kill the sniper in that scene, it's a floating gun that auto-aims you, getting close enough to see this got me killed. And I kind of got pissed when the reason for that was Joel has to go in the house and kill the guy by hand because there's a small struggle scene between the two. That kind of stuff should never happen in a game. Where the player is thought of second and the story first.

Yes! Holy shit if this ends up being true. I've been itching for another stylish hack and slash game and now we might get a sequel to the og. Fuck, I hope they don't mess this up. Just give me the same depth of play as DMC4. That's all I want, if not then more.

[Journeys End]

man this is the first E3 i find srsly underwhelming. in the past i used to be on the hype train weeks before the event. maybe its becoz halo is skipping this event? plus MS event look very empty games wise. ok so maybe the console reveal of scorpio along with price and release date sounds interesting but i ain't buying it this year anyway. ONLY thing that has my attention is the gameplay(hopefully) reveal of Death Stranding. this game has been my "to hype list" since its first reveal last E3!
