God of War Trilogy Remake Announced for PS5

TC Carson's still got it.

Please be sooner rather than later.

Bold assumption it's for PS5 if it's early development.

Big Metroid Prime 4 and Bayonetta 3 energy there. Flash a JPG and say see ya in a few years, we were working on nothing until now.

Also, all those rumours of a God of War Remake a while back, and they clearly looked at those and went....oh yeah, we COULD do that!

I hope it’s fixed camera like the OG’s

The first game is one of my all time favorites. It came out at an interesting time for me—just when I was a teenager, and finding things that really inspired me. That game, along with a few others, defined my PS2 era. I can’t wait for this remake.

Wonder how many years till we play them, 4?

@Haruki_NLI YouTube trailer specifically says 'PS5 Games' so we can only roll with it.

(Agree it will almost certainly be on PS6, the way it's being framed.)

I'm so hyped for this. My jaw dropped when they revealed it.

I’m so ready for this one! Didn’t really feel the 2.5D game they showed. But this one, hell yeah

You'd think since they still look pretty damn good after 20yrs, why not just release the entire Greek era in one package (especially since Ghost of Sparta and Chains of Olympus only released on the PSP) instead of doing remakes 🤔🙂

Here's hoping they don't make them all "modern" by removing the sex and stuff.

I can't believe this is in "Early Development". Like WTF!? It should had been out last year. Other than that GoW II GOAT for me and 1st and 3rd were really fun too. Hope they don't remove boobies in game and cutscenes.

Please, please let the game content itself be unchanged and not adjusted for the modern audience.

These games were darn near perfect as they were. Clean up the graphics and that’s all we need.

Still early in development with nothing to show?

That’s very lame to finish on. Won’t be out for a few years.

OMG the real GOW games, just imagine how good these are going to look. God of war 3 on PS3/PS4 still looks amazing.

This is brilliant stuff. I'm thrilled.

However if this is in early development then exactly what have SSM been doing since they released Ragnarok? It's been over 3 years ffs

I hope it's a remake in the same vain as TLoU Part I. Give the visuals a great polish, but leave the rest of the game intact.

I posted this on the poll page

I wouldn't be surprised if the GoW Trilogy Remake is being handled by Bluepoint working with Santa Monica. They already helped with Ragnarok and were working with the IP for years after on the live service game that got cancelled last year.

Plus they are dab hands at remakes.

EDIT: Also it would make for perfect project to come up with at short notice after cancelling the other game.

@IronCrow86 the psp games were remastered on PS3, I have em

At least we know what Santa Monica's going to be doing for the next 10 years

I figured they'd just be ports of the PS3 HD collection

Really hope this adopts the 3rd person perspective/ gameplay style of 2018 / Ragnarok.
I didn't think much to the original games, but if they remake them in 3rd person I will gladly give them another go.

Well, anyone who got angry at Santa Monica for not announce trilogy remaster can shut up.

Anyway. I'm currently playing GoW I & 2 remaster on PS3 and they still looks and plays great.

But i'm curious and also excited how Santa Monica gonna remake the trilogy. Although, feels like the sexy mini game probably will be gone...

So many players will be gutted to learn it's a single player game and not a GaaS.

Kinda crazy that we're getting a full blown remake of the Trilogy, caught me off guard for sure.

Looks like some people on here owe Jeff Grubb and others some I’m sorry’s!!! Cause a lot of what finally got shown has been in their ears that they have been sharing for a while now. This has been talked about for close to 2 years or longer now.

Happy to see how this turns out.

I would rather have a 4K remastered version, of the original games. A remake, from modern Santa Monica, worries me. Especially if they make it in the style of the latest games, add hours of cutscenes, melodrama, and remove the naughty "mini games".
Stay faithful to the originals.

So pumped for this. I do wonder if they will change the gameplay perspective so it's not fixed cameras and the like. As long as the gameplay is brutal and I can chain combos, I wouldn't mind it. Also wouldn't be surprised if we get an expanded ending for III showing Kratos arriving in the Norse realm. Can't wait to play it sometime in the 2030s...

@IntrepidWombat

Yeah, I don't want a new perspective either.

Happy days!! Hope they keep it true to the originals without removing anything

Theyll split this apart. Theres no way they remake the whole trilogy and NOT sell them one at a time. Anyway so hyped for this

More remakes and remasters! 😂😂😂

I am still in a state of shock what an announcement

Now that I think about it, I am more inclined to believe they won't change the perspective and core; it will be like Crash Bandicoot trilogy. If they indeed put 3 games in one package that is and I would rather they do that than something more budget&time consuming.

Remake? Idk if I like the idea of that. I really do not care for the Norse GoW gameplay. I mean it's fine, but it's not GoW to me.

Graphical remake but the same game underneath? Count me hyped.

Yes day one to all three if they are released separately or together! I'm also happy they got the original Kratos voice back, he captured rage filled Kratos perfectly. They can leave Christopher Judge just for the newer games!

Also for the first time I hope this isn't a 1:1 remake, I hope they add more stuff and change things around so it feels fresh even for people that played the original games hundreds of time 🙌

Thank you Sony for finally realizing that we want remakes of PS3/PS2 games, not some damn remaster or remake of a PS4 game that already looks in line with many modern titles.

@Haruki_NLI - Did you forget that outside of a couple PS5 exclusives, the PS4 was still supported for the first year or two of this gen? This will more than likely be a dual release if the PS6 even releases in 2027, but with the increasing difficulty for companies to secure components to build hardware the PS6 could be pushed back another year or two.

@Kairuuu I mean. They release remakes and remasters vs new games at such a lopsided ratio that I’m shocked that people still complain about remakes and remasters. Also, this is a remake that people actually asked for.

Yes! Had been hoping for a full remake rather than just a remaster. Pre-order for me! Though would have loved it if they did a remake that comprised all of the Greek games into 1 massive flowing game

God of War 2 is still one of the greatest games of all time so I wonder if the remake will do it justice.
