What weird world do I live in where big boobs are considered a bad thing? When they want to empower female characters, somehow the only thing they can think to do is de-sexualise her.

And yet you know they'll play the T and A card anyway. Remember Bulletstorm's Trishka? I dunno, I think thi'll end up another SF clone.

Doom 4, now with 200% more voice acting and cutscenes. Prove me wrong, iD

I hoped this was a joke when I first heard about it. If if can record you playing, okay, that's pretty boss. Aside from that I have no idea why they would waste dev time at this time on it for what is primarily a gaming machine.

Will wait for more info!

This looked boss, don't get me wrong, but survival horror is never coming back it seems. So long as the inevitable co-op doesn't completely cripple the gameplay this time around, this could be some balls-out action fun.

@Spunky Monkey 190906 Yeah exactly, now THAT would great. Oh sure, the IDEA, is probably to add these things over time. But as we all know, this is very unlikely. But if they do add all this in... I'll buy a hat and eat it.

Yeah, call me a naysayer, but I can't believe we're hearing about video editing software ahead of a browser update, or something like multiple sign-in support, or anything more related to what we actually use the PS3 for.

Kratos is still dead in this plot, although he could show as a phantom boss. But if they change the whole mythological setting as well (e.g. Norse)... Then we're talking about a different franchise altogether with QTEs, a la Dante's Inferno ;)

Alright, I've put this up before, but just to see what people think, here is how I think a GOW4 sequel could work, and be great even:

The world has been plunged into chaos and most of humanity is hanging on for survival against the elements. The death of Hades has opened the earth and ferocious beasts from Tartarus itself prey on the survivors. All that sustains those who still live is Hope, released by Kratos at the end of GoW3.

In backstory it is revealed that the reason that Athena was able to appear as a spirit, and the reason for her change of heart regarding Zeus' death... is that she is not really Athena at all, but the titaness Metis, Athena's mother, swallowed by Zeus after the prophecy that she would bear him two children... one of which would surpass his father. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metis_(mythology)) The first was Athena. The second, of course, was Kratos, who was raised by Callisto.

Determined to free herself from Zeus' body, she projected her astral form (which naturally resembled her daughter) to Kratos to aid him in killing Zeus, which freed her and almost gave her the power of Hope, however, his last-minute rebellion has forced her to change her tactics.

She is determined to wrest control of the Earth for herself in the power vacuum. Without the power of hope, she will use simple force to do the job... by harnessing the power of the Hecatonchires, the giants that helped win the Great War... monstrous beings with fifty heads and a hundred hands each. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hecatonchires

The true form of Typhon, also rests beneath Mount Etna, the Olympians' greatest enemy. Mistakenly believed by many to be a mere titan, a deception perpetuated by his mother, Metis intends to free Typhon's true form to lay waste to the world and cleanse it for her rule. Typhon, the last child of Gaia and Tartarus, if freed, would destroy the last chance humanity has of any kind of future.

Very few Olympians still survive, but Artemis, Apollo, Aphrodite and Demeter live, resentful of mortals and warriors, and the destruction they feel came about from their ingratitude and warlike nature, as well as the death of their kin.

In addition, Metis now has the Blade of Olympus. But she has neglected another, now lost weapon of equal or even greater power... the blade that castrated Uranus and brought about the reign of the Titans... the Sickle of Cronos.

A small family of survivors huddles in a windswept cave, rain lashing at the entrance, huddling in fear of the horrors that now roam the desolate, nigh-unlivable world outside. Then, the shape of a warrior carrying a spear and shield appears against the churning sky.

His name is ACHILLES...

I do get increasingly tired of these half-assed attempts to smooth over what amounts to 'screw-you' moves by these companies. Too little too late, getting this would leave a sour taste in my mouth. But above and beyond the principle of the thing, there are too many other games that aren't splitting their content a million different ways and charging for the privilege.

People would have BOUGHT this DLC...! Do they just not like money any more?

@vonstalhein Even better, the full line is "It's WILLY WAL and his TAZER TUSKS! Release my niece if you want some peace!"

His niece, of course, was an otter, which stands to reason.
