Chapter 751: Could it be that God of War is a souls-type game?
is a little different from the promotional videos of Nebula Games in the past, and the promotional videos released by Nebula Games this time are quite short, only more than 50 seconds in total.
Ten years of torment, ten years of suffering, and a decade of lingering nightmares, with Kratos jumping from the highest peak in Greece, are finally coming to an end. β
'Death, this is his last option to escape it all. β
With a woman's narration, Kratos, a pale-skinned, bald-headed muscular hunk stood quietly on the edge of the cliff with an expressionless face, looking at the white clouds and smoke under the cliff, Kratos jumped down.
After Kratos jumps off a cliff, the camera zooms in on Kratos, allowing the player to see every detail of his body, including tattoos, scars, and pale skin tones.
Then the camera slowly zooms out, and the screen is plunged into darkness, and when the screen reappears, there is the sound of metal clashing, and all kinds of roars of fighting.
'Ares! Destroy my enemies! β
'I'm willing to trade my life for it!' β
On the mountain of blood corpses, Kratos, who was in a desperate situation, shouted to the sky.
As Kratos prayed, a magnificent BGM sounded, and Ares descended from the sky under the light of the gods, and he looked at Kratos who was kneeling on the ground praying, fulfilling his prayer.
As the divine light of Ares, the god of war, shone brightly, all the soldiers on the battlefield who were hostile to Kratos fell to the ground, and blood was spilled all over the battlefield.
Kratos, who signed a master-servant blood pact with Ares, won with the help of Ares, the god of war.
Then the picture shifts to Kratos standing in a barren clearing, looking up at Ares in the sky.
With the appearance of Ares's divine powers, chains and blades that burned from hell appeared in his hands and gave Kratos them.
The flaming iron chain attached to Kratos' arms, bringing him infinite power and unspeakable pain, as Kratos cried out in pain and Ares watched in the sky, a bolt of lightning exploded in the sky, and the game screen switched to a void space.
'How can I satisfy you?' Kratos! When will it be over! β
A beautiful young woman holds a little girl and confronts Kratos.
'When the glory of Sparta shines on the whole world!' Kratos responded.
Listening to Kratos' response, his wife was silent for a second, then looked at him: "The glory of Sparta? All you do is for yourself! β
The moment the words fell, they were enveloped in flames from nowhere, accompanied by screams.
The screams grew weaker and the flames faded away, and in a burning village with blood and corpses on the ground, an expressionless Ares in the temple stared at Kratos.
And in the burning village, Kratos knelt on the ground and looked at the blood on the ground in disbelief.
An eerie laugh echoed, a vicious curse ensued, and countless ashes were manipulated by a mysterious force to attach themselves to Kratos's body, and his original bronzed skin was now a dead pale hue.
'Ares! β
Finally, with Kratos roaring towards the sky, the whole video ends abruptly.
In addition, there is a short ten-second video,Different from the promotional video,The game UI interface in the video clearly tells the player,That is, the real game content and the actual machine screenγ
In the stormy sea, Kratos fights a sea serpent on a large ship.
The head of the sea serpent alone was already half the size of a sea ship, accompanied by a flash of lightning, and the blood-stained scale armor looked extremely terrifying.
After these two videos came out, players also had a heated discussion.
Compared with the previous promotional videos released before the launch of "Bloodborne", these two videos of "God of War" reveal much more content.
Especially before this, Nebula Games has briefly described the story of "God of War", the protagonist controlled by the player is Kratos, and his wife and daughter died because of Ares's conspiracy, and Kratos embarks on the road of revenge for killing gods.
Obviously, the promotional video shows such a plot, but the players are more focused on the content behind.
"Sure enough! Soul games, he's here again!"
"The huge size of the sea serpent looks like a feeling of "Dark Souls" and "Bloodborne Curse"!"
"+1, it should be that the souls game is gone."
"It must be a soul! Mortals kill gods! It just so happens that this background fits in well. β
"Skinny humans, huge bosses, no matter how you look at it, they look very similar! The only difference is that the plot is not the kind of souls game. β
With the release of the gameplay video, the players began to have a heated discussion.
There's not much to talk about the plot, after all, it's different from games like Bloodborne.
"God of War" is to directly tell the player the plot and the background and world view of the game.
This is Greek mythology, and the plot of the game is to tell the story of Kratos, a mortal god-killer, and the villain is Ares, the god of war.
Without flipping, this line is already told to the player.
Unlike "Bloodborne", which hides and doesn't tell the player, but stimulates the player's desire to explore, after the promotional video of "God of War" is released, players basically don't pay much attention to the plot.
The focus was more on the gameplay, and after a heated discussion, many players were largely on the same page.
"God of War" should be a souls game, but it is not the plot but the kind of gameplay.
After all, "Godfall" is a difficult game, and "God of War" can be regarded as the work of Nebula Games to do Apex Games, and even in order to be able to launch it in advance, it is also divided into three chapters for sale, which means that Star Cloud Games is very eager.
And the game's picture, Kratos faces a huge sea snake monster, the volume of just a head can crush Kratos, plus the background story of mortal gods, this should be a soul game from any point of view!
After all, if you think about "Dark Souls" and "Bloodborne", even "Wolves: Shadow Dies", which is set in humans, there are a lot of similar shots in the game.
When this conclusion was reached, most ordinary players were still happy and surprised, except for those who loved this type of game.
The good thing is that this kind of game is really fun, but the surprise is that this kind of game is too painful.
Especially this "Blood Curse" has just ended, and there are even some people who have not cleared "Blood Curse" until now, this is another "God of War" that may be a soul game, who can withstand this!
