could work.
right now the way kratos looks bugs me the most.
bold viking just doesn´t fit in my mind.

but regardless: I feel like the should have gone a diffrent direction with God of War 4.
instead of remaking it with a new mythology they should have gone full crazy.

have it set in thousands of years after god of war 4 in a world were the re-awoken chaos has completely changed the planet.

everything now looks like it comes right out of a heavy metal cover like the new shadow of the beast.
most of the world is a brutal wasteland full of ruins, beasts, baberians and dark magic.

most of humanity now resigns within gigantic cities which are also the home of the new gods.

you play as a new character from the wasteland that for some reason or another has a vendetta against the new gods. maybe have him be marked by chaos after almost dying and the only way to save himself is by taking the powers of the gods.

kratos himself could either show up as a forgotten warrior god that teaches you some tricks and a thing or two about revenge
or
take on the role as the new mayor god and the main antagonist of the series.

So, how much do you want to bet that GOW4's Thor will take some non-copyright-infringing cues from Marvel's Thor (e.g. blonde hair instead of red, speaking in Shakespearean-style English, quotes such as "By Odin's beard!" and "I would have words with thee.", etc.), possibly even getting his voice actor from Earth's Mightiest Heroes?

Norse mythology was Jaffe's idea though. He wanted God of War III to be a clash of multiple mythologies and religions.

Norse gods have their dickish moments, but are all but saints compared to Greek ones.
I hope this game isn't just about mindlessly slaughtering them, or at least doesn't revel in their slaughter. Maybe let Kratos's madness hit the player harder this time as he removes something true and just from the world. Or maybe not even that, make it about Ragnarök and how the Norse pantheon offers him sanction in exchange of helping them beat back Loki's forces (obvious twist being that Loki plays Kratos in some way)

I feel you, but it's all about brand recognition on a corporate level. Making the protagonist someone new is probably seen as too risky by the execs, especially when they are changing the setting.
Personally I'd like it to be about a nameless Einherji that, trough valor of virtue and battle earns himself a slice of divinity, only to be tricked by Hel, Surtr or Loki (or one of their agents) to do something unforgivable, and having to either redeem his name or pave his own path between two opposing forces.

Norse, but it's more about being consistent to the feel of the Sagas. In Greek mythology, murderous dickery made sense because there's so much dickery in them. Though the Sagas are humorous and dickish at times, the read and feel a lot more apocalyptic and somber.
They are like autumn and winter to the Greek's spring and summer, and I feel the game would benefit from staying true to that, slaughter of the gods or not.
Also, I'm just tired of the same old GoW narrative formula. Even if the protag is Kratos, they should change it up a bit.

if GoW4 is only Norse and GoW5 moves onto Egyptian gods or something then yeah he'd probably kill them.

Plenty of people followed the Norse gods, including Germanic pagans which formed a massive chunk of Europe between the Celts and Romans. The Norse pantheon was also somewhat merged with mythologies of the time, Britannic Celts and Romans especially. The reason Christmas moved from summer to winter was to go with the Norse yule.

In Norse mythology, Loki was forced to turn himself into a mare to goad a stallion from stop helping its master screw the Norse gods over after Loki made a bad deal on their behalf. The resulting offspring was Odin's horse, Sleipnir.
Take that in for a second, not only is Loki a tranny's wet dream on accord of his gender bender ability, he's also a furfag and a mother.

It would be fucking awesome to see a new GoW set in a Norse God setting. I hope they don't cop out and just copy Marvel shit.
I want a more grimdark setting and not marble(which wasn't even found in Scandinavia at the time, or at least used) everywhere.
I want a mix of Nordic folklore from the naturalism age and Norse religion.
Imagine Kratos fighting this horror

Calling it now:
Kratos gets picked up by a Valkyrie at the end of 3 and taken to Valhalla.

There Odin asks him to help stop Ragnarok by hunting down the big three beasts (Fenris, The Serpent, and Hel) who will be the first three major bosses, and in return Kratos will live (relarively) comfortable in Valhalla kicking ass and drinking beer.

Too bad Ragnarok happens, and Kratos instead goes through the realms hunting down Loki as the good Gods die, and Kratos picks up their weapons.

Final boss is Loki, who pummel to death with your bare hands as you fall from the top of the World Tree.

Giants will be the predominant enemy.

Shit will be cool.

Odin basically carries the burden of knowing about Ragnarok, while the others don't. But because everything is predetermined, he can't do anything to save anyone.

>Can't tell Thor to kill the Midgard Serpent while it's small

All he can do is hope enough heroic men fill Valhalla that enough of humanity survives ragnarok that the world isn't doomed.

I know, Loki is actually pretty cool.
He causes a lot of problems, but was also the one the gods turned to most often to fix their problems, was by all account worshiped as a tough but fair deity, and his downfall was understandable.
He got a raw deal within Æsir society, and the onset of Christianity began to shape Norse mythology at a time when both religions were being practiced at the same time side by side, calling for a Norse Satan parallel.

From what I read all the norse gods know about Ragnarok, they all live in Asgard, Loki confuses Thor a couple times, steals Iduna away, they recover her, Heimdall and Baldur basically signal the end of the world, and they all know from then on there's going to be a battle that costs them everything.

>>
>>333309386
They know there is going to be a big battle.

But Odin knows they lose.

It's why he tells Freya and Freyr to hide in the world tree with humanity.

Kratos was always the villian, from the very first game. Instead of accepting death, he bitched out to be Ares' pawn. Everything bad that happened to him after that event is perfectly justified for him being such a cunt.

I mean who else? I don't see him going ''perhaps not all gods are bad'' and living happily ever after.
>>
>>333309749
Oh yeah that's the difference. Most texts just say that they know there is a grave battle approaching that will be costly, but it is true only Odin knows what will come of it, I think.
>>
>>333309836
According to Ghost of Sparta, it was either Ares of Zeus being afraid of a prophecy about a marked man killing them, and so they took his brother.

So yeah, everything bad that happened was thanks to Zeus or Ares.
>>
>>333309932
Yep, Odin is pretty much the opposite of Zeus in almost every way.

He's a grim face Dour god of War and Dark magic. He is a serious figure who wanders the world shouldering the burden of fate.

Zeus was basically a hero who won his battles and got to sit happy on his throne.
>>
I can only imagine how ham-handedly they're going to have Kratos kill Baldr.

Either that or they turn Baldr into some self-absorbed 'Literally immune to everything but mistletoe" guy and Kratos runs him through with a tree of the stuff while spouting an angry one-liner
>>
>>333310437
I wonder how they handle Thor.

The guy was literally a champion to Humanity and does nothing wrong.
>>
>>333310356
>Zeus was a hero

He only won against the Titans, and then deterred anyone attempting to face him by zapping the shit out of them or threatenig to do so.

Helios does nothing wrong in the myths either yet he got killed the whole point of GoW is gods going batshit.
>>
>>333310706
Probably some kind of inferiority complex like with Herc.

Or he tries to stop Kratos because it won't do any good, but Kratos kills him for being in his way.
>>
>>333310437
there's a fucking annoying mission in devil survivor where you have to kill "beldr" with a spring of mistletoe (IIRC it's a fake mistletoe phone accessory but still works)

it's the only thing that hurts him and it does fuck all damage
>>
>>333310913
There is only so far "Stupid misunderstanding" can go, and that was already stretched too far in GoW3.
>>
>>333310356
I wouldn't call Odin the exact opposite of Zeus, Zeus was just a god born into hiding, and came back to poison his father, which made Cronos vomit all of Zeus' brothers and sisters back up.

Odin is a lot like Zeus in that method. Zeus didn't just walk back up to Cronos empty handed, he had tools from the Cyclopses and the gates of Tartarus. Odin doesn't just give Asgard to his children knowing it will vanish, they're both reasonably wise figures in mythology.
>>
>>333310706
Kratos kill for 4 reasons:
1 - You betray him;
2 - You are trying to stop him;
3 - You have something he needs;
4 - Taunting him.

Doesn't matter if you're the virgin mary. If you do any of those, get ready to be QTE'd to death.

Because Thor was often boastful to a fault, a trait Loki played upon during their back and forth japes, they're probably going to treat him the way they treated (sic) Hercules.

Zeus takes her godhood away and Kratos kills himself at the end of the third game, effectively ruining any hope she had of being sourced as a god again.

Man, why would anyone go after the norse gods anyway? They exist on a higher plane than the greek gods and are more concerned with partying with dead heroes and fucking with the giants than actually messing with the lives of men. Odin might show up now and then and hold a popquiz for travelers, but that was it. Motherfucker created both the mortal world and humanity with the help of his two brothers, that's more than that usurper Zeus ever did. What's Kratos going to do? Climb the world tree and kill the gods whose destinies are already determined?

Pretty much. Read the Atlantic's article on what ISIS really wants. Most Muslims won't speak out because they know ISIS isn't Islamic. It's true to their religion. Plus, moat Muslims are not supposed to be involved in politics, so they see speaking out as becoming political. This is a major reason ISIS lists itself as a religious state instead of a political entity.
