10 Ways God Of War 4 Is Already The Best In Years

3. It Could Be The Longest To Date

God of War III is capable of keeping completionists busy for around 20 hours, but the upcoming PS4 instalment looks set to be a lengthier quest.

Barlog has taken to Twitter to dismiss rumours that the game clocks in at 100 hours, declaring ambitions to make it "as long and action-packed as humanly possible".

Now, this certainly isn't confirmation that the next God of War's campaign will offer gameplay spanning 100 hours or more - that's a little overkill - but Barlog's comments suggest it will exceed its predecessors since the capabilities of the PS4 makes longer games "humanly possible".

Moreover, expect an improved killer-to-filler content ratio this time around as those often crass mini-games have been killed off and cut scenes scaled back.
