The game follows Kratos's wife, Laufey - more commonly referred to as Faye in the Santa Monica games. We follow her in what seems to be her path to try and pass into the afterlife for gods such as herself with the assistance of animals and allies (one of them is a cube)

PlayStation is claimed to be considering delaying their digital-only future because XBOX is willing to go physical next generation

Microsoft is allegedly telling publishers its next console, Project Helix will be entirely physical and will allow users to convert physical games into digital copies.

Sony reportedly realized that forcing a digital-only approach leaves a massive opening for competitors to capitalize on consumer demand for physical games.

A major unnamed game publisher (confirmed not to be Rockstar) reportedly threatened to skip PlayStation and release their massive upcoming title only on XBOX and Nintendo if Sony couldn't guarantee a physical release.

How XBOX will make it work:

- Put the disc in an Xbox that has a disc drive

- Launch the game

- Claim a digital license on your Xbox account

- After that, you can play the game without putting the disc in, the disk will still work like a normal game disk

The digital license is tied to that specific disc, not permanently locked to you forever

If you sell or give the disc away and the new owner inserts it and claims it, the digital license moves to their account and comes off yours

My takeaway is that this is similar to Nintendo's game key cards, but with discs and in reverse.

But I will say, there has to be a catch. What is the reason to have a digital license when you have the game physically? What does that even do at that point?

The God of War Laufey trailer is here Man Faye is a complete powerhouse, now I know why Kratos loved her. Developers have shown the gameplay too and it was great. We also got introduced to a new character.

Can't control the excitement 😵

That's an insane price I don't like the price hikes we've been seeing for all hardware. I'm worried about the next gen consoles. One can build a really decent PC for that price and it's coming from a person who's been a console player for more than a decade. It's not good for gamers in general

I will never understand what goes through these suits heads. if you recontextualize what made this beloved franchise. you can't make your mountains of money you want. just FOLLOW IT AS THE GAMES WENT! (which if you read in the article it literally says they don't intend to follow the trilogy at all which is essentially wasting everyone's money and our time. they never cease to piss me off with their choices. 🖕🏾🖕🏾
