God Of War: Ragnarok (Nov. 9th, 2022) (PS4/PS5) (Valhalla DLC out 12/12/2023)

Apparently it took like 6 months for one team to make a boss fight in the first game. They have hired a shyt ton of people recently and a sequel should be easier to make than a base game, so I'd imagine we'll get a wider variety of boss fights.

Maybe they need to call FromSoftware and ask how they put together boss fights

Sony used to give November to call of duty but I’m guessing now that it’s owned by Microsoft, they’re now releasing their big games in the same month.

they still have the COD marketing rights. Contracts are grandfathered in. Deal doesn't end until 2025/2026 (pretty much the rest of the gen).

It's weird, but Playstation getting the exclusive shyt before Xbox is goofy

The Activision-Microsoft deal hasn't officially closed yet, probably later this year or early next year when all the legalities and paperwork is done.


Edit: Just read that MS is targeting early 2023 when the paperwork and everything is finalized. That Kotick golden parachute

If dev time for god of war PS4 was high because of boss fights, it's obvious they're doing something wrong considering their peers make more boss fights in a proper dev time window. The team is slow.

Because they've been using the same engine, animations, and assets since demon's souls. Santa Monica rebooted the entire gameplay engine, and the boss fights are far more cinematic.
