Critics piled on it... Even so the game made back its budget plus more as it was profitable. Shu was such an ass back then because he would constantly throw devs under the bus.
God of War is PlayStation's best IP
- Thread starter DeltaAki

Not that it's a competition, but I kinda burned out on SM2 before finishing it ... then the GoW DLC was made available and I checked it out. And it was instantly far more fun to me than SM2 was. And even though it kinda looks like an upscaled PS4 game, I kinda think it looks better than SM2 too ... just the detail and architecture present in the levels. It just has such an incredible scope, and it's an interesting setting. And the music is better. And the writing and voice acting is better. It's just ... better.
So yeah they could definitely keep changing mythologies and change up the game formula a bit while keeping the core function recognizable. I think Valhalla is always way better without Atreus.
I don't know if it's "the best" PS IP, but it's obviously one of the top few, and I think at that level it just kinda comes down to player preference.

If only they had put more love into Astro
Astro has the potential to reach Nintendo levels of appeal. I could easily see them making a movie or TV series out of Astro.
Im surprised they don't sell Astro merchandise though.
Naughty Dog did the right thing with Uncharted 4. You don’t want your franchise to be Halo. End it on the right note. Retiring Nate was the right call, you call always do prequels and spin-offs.

Ragnarok was good, but I felt the writing wasn’t as strong as the first game. I also thought the game was missing the direction of Barlog. Also You definitely hate TLOU 2 for you to say Ascension is debatable. LMAO But you’re entitled to your opinion.
not at all...I love TLOU2, a lot more than TLOU1. You can look through my post history, GoW is just my all time favorite so I'm very biased
Uncharted and Halo has nothing in common. As the creator of the series said, the franchise was meant to keep going similar to ndiana Jones. It's pulp fiction. I still think it was weird to literally age out Nathan, Sully and Elena after 4 games
.The simple truth is Neil never cared for the Uncharted franchise but I won't really go there.
God of War: Ascension is amazing and I will die on that hill. The most technically impressive PS3 game as well. That game put almost every launch PS4 game to shame.
And the multiplayer was underrated.

I hope they don’t miss on that GOW Amazon Tv show. I don’t know how the hell they’re going to pull off the Kratos casting. I just hope it’s decent.not at all...I love TLOU2, a lot more than TLOU1. You can look through my post history, GoW is just my all time favorite so I'm very biased
Me too, that's why fantasy stuff should always be animated and not live action....
It’s not about them having anything in common. It’s about franchise fatigue. You mention Indiana Jones, but there hasn’t been a great Indiana Jones film since the 80’s. The latest film flopped. I know ND doesn‘t miss. But imo, ending Drake’s story and giving him a happy sendoff was the right call. I think if you continue the Uncharted story, making a Sully prequel or spin-offs with Chloe would be the right call.Uncharted and Halo has nothing in common.

Just saw this. Did Shu rip the game publicly? It‘s because of Shu, that Fromsoftware is not a PS Studio. SMH.
There's no such thing as franchise fatigue. I remember when Critics were saying the same thing about God of War franchise at one point. Nobody ever cares about Franchise fatigue when it comes to Mario, Resident Evil, Pokemon, COD for example... Uncharted never faced having a franchise fatigue as the games are their own capsuled adventure... You can skip one entry and still not be lost, so they never ran the risk of burnout on the end user.
I only mentioned Indiana Jones because thats what the game was inspired by.. an action adventure pulp fiction theme based around treasure hunting, so it allowed them endless material for story concepts.
Drake's personal story was never at the forefront till Uncharted 4 that's my point. His "story" was always about building his own legacy until Neil retcon'd that arc by rewriting his origin to fit in Sam
No he did rip the game publicly. But he cut ties with Ready At Dawn immediately after so many years of them working together. He did the same thing with Hello Games and publicly slighted them after No Mans Sky messy launch... Both studios should have been under the PlayStation Umbrella.
Same way he let Super Massive get away because he was "surprised" by the success of Until Dawn
Unbelievable. I like Shu, but he’s made many mistakes that people don‘t call out. Missing on From was his biggest. He hated Demon Souls because he thought it was a technical mess. But he didn’t look at it’s amazing game design. He chose not to publish Dark Souls, Namco did and the rest is history. They did fund Bloodborne, but it was too little to late by that point.No he did rip the game publicly. But he cut ties with Ready At Dawn immediately after so many years of them working together.
