Watching the Twitch stream and one of the guys working on God of War is being far too honest about the series and will probably get fired after this.

"Yeah, we basically just handwaved stuff that didn't make sense or whatever in previous games" And he keeps apologizing for only being able to give poo poo answers to questions about the new game because he can't reveal too much story stuff.

this demo so far is not inspiring much confidence in this game. do you not have allies who actually fight? we went from 3 to 4 to 1?

He's a good dude because he realizes video-game stories are retarded and you just do stuff that makes a game fun to play.

"I think he's a bad enough person to stay ghost through his sheer love of child-killing."

There's a ten minute preview of Don't Nod's new vampire game and it actually looks kinda neat, it's an action RPG where you're a vampire in 1918 London in the middle of a flu epidemic (and a vampire epidemic? not sure). London is like the hubworld and I think there's lots of bioware style little quests with moral choices in them, and the outcome of those quests determine whether bits of London stay neutral and full of NPCs, or end up getting overrun with vampires and vampire hunting dudes. I think the idea is that if more healthy people die an area gets more unstable and eventually ends up full of vampire ghoul people. And then in addition to having healthy people die through quest outcomes, you can also kill them anyway and get more powerful as a vampire, at the cost of destabalising more parts of London.

I'm not sure how it'll all function in practice, but it's always cool to see story games try to use game systems for story purposes.

You can hear Chloe's new voice in this video and hrm

:chloe:

I honestly don't know if I can deal with how different she sounds. Not just that she doesn't sound like Ashley Burch but her delivery just seems so flat in comparison.

Also the smillie being called "chloe" is :discourse:
