Poll: How Would You Have Reacted to a Live Service God of War Announcement?

It appears that Sony recently announced the termination of two projects, and it seems one of these projects was a live-service God of War game that was being developed by Bluepoint Games. This news certainly comes as a surprise.

Initially, our response was puzzled. The news that Sony, with Bluepoint Studios – renowned for their exceptional remakes of Shadow of the Colossus and Demon’s Souls – were working on a multiplayer God of War project left us perplexed. This revelation underscored the broad scale of PlayStation’s commitment to live services, a strategy that later appeared to be mismanaged.

To ensure fairness to all parties involved, it’s important to note that our understanding of this project is quite limited. It could have taken various forms – perhaps a cooperative action RPG, or even a hero shooter featuring the franchise’s pantheon of gods. However, with no further information available (and potentially none in the future unless there are any leaks).

Instead of pondering, we’re curious to consider… how might PlayStation enthusiasts have responded to such a declaration? Could a fresh God of War title have steered clear of the disdain that often arises when the phrase ‘live service’ is brought up? This hypothetical scenario offers an intriguing analysis.
