How will you react when he's killed by the Norse gods, motivating Kratos to go on a rampage?
>>341568851
It's literally impossible to care about anything related to Kratos. He's a scary monster man that tries too hard to be a badass--and the only redeeming thing about the games is that you actually get to pummel the shit out of the jackasses that were hassling you the whole game.
>>341568851
I think the devs said the kid won't die the entire game
>implying kratos doesnt die and the kid goes on a murderous rampage
theres a reason why they are calling this game a soft reboot of the franchise
>>341568851
In the video it was the kid gaining xp , not Kratos.
Dad is gonna bite the dust and we'll get a timeskip.
>>341569082
yea he'll only die in parts of it
I would be happy because they would have bait-and-switched everybody by doing that.
Just keep hinting the whole time that Kratos is a changed person, but pull back at the last second and bring back angry Kratos, I'd love it.
>>341568851
That would actually be cool. If the game starts out as a super serious cinematic linear shit show that ultimately makes Kratos uncomfortable and ends up getting his kid killed, turning him back into rageaholic and switching the gameplay back into classic GoW then it would bold and impressive.
I know they won't though.
>>341568851
Kratos is the final boss
>>341568851
How will you react when Kratos dies and his son becomes the main character?
>After the tutorial with ME DAD NOW his wife's son is killed by some random norse god and then it's god of war again
Apparently their god of war is "Hermóðr", who's also hermes
i dont know much about norse mythology
what are the list of possible shit hes gonna kill this time?
>>341568851
What if when the kid dies, the game reverts back to its hack and slash gameplay to symbolize how pissed off Kratos is?
>>341571282
Well the popular ones are thor, ordin, loki, loki's horse / Mpreg son sleppnir, freya, freyja, and Idunn.
Then there's a bunch of other ones.
>>341571282
Gods like Loki, Odin, Thor, Frig, Bragi, Heimdall, I guess.
>>341571421
Oh also hel might be a god? I think she's persephone essentially.
>>341568851
should have made the kid look better. Maybe then I'd care.
>>341571139
Dropped.
>>341571282
Odin
Thor
Tyr
Heimdall
Baldr
Freja
Frey
Etc
Also, theres the children of Loki, Sleipnir, Jormungundr, the Various giant Wolves, & Hel
Plenty of Ice/Fire Giants, Trolls, Elves, Dwarves, Draugr
>>341568851
HIS HAIR
>>341568851
Why would any of the Norse gods of Asgard murder his kid? They weren't assholes like the Greek gods.
Now Loki...
>>341571925
I just want to wield Mjolnir.
the story about god of war is how kratos and his descendants single handedly murders every pantheon of gods in the planet, from egyptian to norse
after killing all the masters of nature, the universe is in shambles and explodes out of existence, with only kratos (or one of his descendants) left
with kratos harnessing the powers of all the gods, he decides to make a new universe, one more simple
his first words: "let there be light"
>>341568851
I won't care. If I end up gettting it at all, I will just skip all cutscenes. Let me wreck shit and cut out rest.
>>341572056
That sounds like something a kid would write for a school report, crossing his arms proudly like it was deep or meaningful.
>>341569086
this,is it even the same kratos? it doesn't make sense to go from Greek to Norse, surely the gods didnt just divide the world upland said "okay keep from giants out of Greece!!!"
>>341572124
Can't tell if serious. God of War cutscenes when they happen are usually gold.
>>341572056
I want an Abrahamic God of War game.
Now that I think about it, it would basically be Dante's Inferno 2.
You'd kill demons and shit, then in true Kratos fashion you'd go around killing the prophets (making some Muslims MuhamMAD in the process) before going off to kill Jesus and his disciples. This all leads up to one fight against the big boss himself, God/Allah/YHWH.
>>341568851
Why the fuck are they still using Kratos? Wasn't this supposed to have an entirely new set of characters? Fuck right off with that stale shit.
>>341572361
>kill Jesus
>kill God
thats not how it works.
God should have three phases, one is the Jesus phase, then the Holy Spirit phase and the one true OG phase.
and Dante's Inferno 2 is called Dante's Purgatorio.
>>341572361
Compared to the old gods though the Abrahamic stuff is pretty lackluster outside of the main god figure guy.
He's basically "I win" the god anyway.
This is why I prefer older god mythos over desert god myths.
But if you want to have it both ways you could go further back to the proto Jew pantheon the Biblical god comes from where he's the god of war. Then it gets interesting.
>>341571147
You kill Hermes in GOW3. His body explodes and everything.
>Kratos dies midway of the story
>Chosen to be an Einherjar by the Valkyries, second half of the game is preparing for Ragnarok
>Final Part is Ragnarok
>>341572614
>mfw the jew/muslim/christian god basically pulled a kratos on the rest of his fellow gods and destroyed the pantheon leaving himself
>implying Kratos won't be the one to murder his son
The kid is going to be Baldr, i would bet on it.
>>341568851
If the kid gets killed by a Norse God this is pure propaganda, the Norse gods were cool as fuck and loved their people unlike the Greeks.
>>341572468
Unlike most polytheistic gods the Abrahamic god isn't a anthropomorphic being similar to humans but a entity that is omnipotent, all-present, all-knowing and unmistakable. You can't fight a being like that as first he would know about it long before you were born and second he could prevent your grandparent from being even conceived.
>you will never have Kratos for a dad, let alone any dad
>>341572718
>kratos
>staying dead
Did you guys never play the older games? He literally died in one and fought his way out of hell to satisfy his lust for revenge.
>>341571282
Sorry anon but this is a more grown up God of War game about what's its like to be a father, not a serial killer simulator.
>>341571925
The greek gods weren't assholes either. Zeus was a really nice guy in the greek stories. He basically did nothing except turn into various animals and fuck people. He once fucked some chick as a goose. Can you image how that would have looked?
Another time, he jacked off on to a rock and it became one of his sons.
>>341572614
You'd go out and have to defeat the champions of the "old gods" to prove Abraham's new one is correct.all in silky smooth 14 FPS cinematic QTEs

This is what I thought watching the video.

It makes no sense for getting that xp for kratos. Probably this is the prologue, kratos gets killed, kid growns up and we have a new baited hero to kill another group of gods.

You know what would be pretty cool? If all the surviving gods became tired of Kratos shit and decided to form mini squads (ala MGS) to take him down. Like a group full of gods of death, but that's too boring. What would be interesting is a team of all the "king" and all powerful gods from each mythology.
made by Platinum Games.
>>341568851
I say the kid got kratos immortality and starts to work for green lantern athena after kratos goes missing. After a long as years to 2016, they reunited and had a final showdown.

Well yeah i forgot, i bet there will even be one where he will go to heaven and kill Jesus surely. It's not like i care about that jew or the christians either but they will go after anything not jewish.
There's a button dedicated to interacting with the kid meaning the kid is an important part of gameplay throughout the whole thing
>>341568851
I have a REALLY hard time to take Kratos serious.
I mean, he escaped from the underworld twice, killed the god of death, multiple other gods, the god of gods and a fucking titan and whatnot. He destroyed and brought chaos to an entire world.
And now he's a grumpy dad...
>>341572996
if that's the case, then how will Kratos die? he's killed every major God in the Greek mythos, he's technically destroyed their "world" by the end of GoW3
are the devs implying that Norse gods>Greek gods?
if Kratos dies of old age I'll be seriously disappointed, but it still a good end for him
>>341574153

>>341571774
I can already see Odin yelling "Ragnarok" when Kratos comes to Valhalla with the giants
>>341572765
Yeah, that is why humans were sacrificed to them, and just like the Greeks, Norse clans would raid each other while praying to the gods.
Get your head out of your ass. No pantheon that values strength and dying in battle was "chill" by today's standards.
Actually take the time to look up the actual myths. The Norse gods fucked with humans all the time.

When the kid shot him I thought that Kratos would tear the deer in half to replenish his health.

Kratos is what happens when a set religion turns into a mythology to the public.
Greek mythology was a worshipped religion at one point in time until it wasn't.

>>341572765
It's a story that repurposes Norse mythology for the sake of its own narrative. Just like the last six games did with Greek mythology. And Norse gods could be cunts too.
>>341572893
>>341573873
Abrahamic religions are still practiced. Furthermore, for the most part figures in Abrahamic myth aren't as humanized. There's still plenty of room for storytelling with it (look at Paradise Lost), but not exactly the kind of thing God of War is about. Greek mythology was one big soap opera ripe for picking.
Niggers
They already confirmed the kid won't die and that this is Kratos' story long before the vikings, "when the norse gods still walked the earth".
Protip, Kratos will become Odin.
The kid is Thor.
Kid's red hair and thunder powers are a dead giveaway that he's Thor.
Also the dead wife, it's gonna be Frigga.
Shit's a dead giveaway.
You'll be fighting the Ice Giants.
>>341578727
How could they be cunts? I'm honestly asking since most of the norse myths the gods are pretty bro tier to humans, where as in the greek myths the greek gods regularly fucked humans over for laughs or stupid shit like they didn't like what side of the bed they slept on.

>>341579473
It's gonna be pottery.
Kratos is worried that he passed on his Greek god ego and rage to the kid (devs said so) and so he's trying to teach the kid to be a better than the greek pantheon.
It's blatantly fucking obvious Kratos will be the Odin of this story and kid will be Thor.
Quite nice way of actually explaining Thor's thunder powers as basically being genetically passed down from Zeus through Kratos.
>>341579468
I could give Dad of War a try, long as Son of War can get gear and equipment and properly help me fuck up some giants and dragons.

Hearing it in this light i might be willing to be on board for the change. But i need way more God of War action and combos and way less boring melee swings all day.
Kratos is Odin and kid is Thor.
Who will Kratos now fuck to produce cunt Loki?
(if they are establishing norse pantheon)
>>341580334
Loki was adopted anon. That's why he was such a faggot.
>>341580217
I bet the kid gets separated from Kratos at one point and stumbles upon a kid his age (Loki being a shit) and he embarrasses the thought of his dad up to that point with tomfoolery then he gets the sparta rage that he has to fight.
How can Kratos be a good dad? He's spent his entire life making bad decisions over and over.
>>341580438
oh yeah, i forgot.
>>341580505
Now that he's made all those bad decisions he knows what to tell his son not to do.
>>341580505
>How can Kratos be a good dad?
a calm, steady onslaught of violent aggression and gentle child endangerment
>>341580480
IF that happens, it will happen offscreen and be later shown as flashback cutscene since they already said you control Kratos and ONLY Kratos in the entire game.
>>341580505
By moving on? Also destroying the greek pantheon was actually the best decision he did in his blind rage. Greek gods are massive cunts by definition, Norse gods no the other hand are pretty chill, with the exception of the cunt Loki that is.
>>341580585

Unlike the original trilogy, this game isn't going to be about destroying gods, but creating new ones.

I merely pointed out that it has been done and even is still being done.
Heck, Fatlus USA even said they ain't censoring SMT4-2 just because some Christians or Jews might get offended. Final Boss is still called YHVH.

Not him but it does look a lot like Ryse combat-wise.
Ryse is a pretty shitty game in general, BUT it really looks amazing, probably the best looking game I've ever played and it was a great benchmark for my 780 Ti back when I bought it.
You should give it a try once just for the grafix really, story is basically Gladiator with a twist.
It was enjoyable in all aspects aside from gameplay which was repetitive and shallow.
It's a title you pirate to play once and test your rig.

The game looked possibly cool but some things bothered me.
Honestly, a part of it was how the kid spoke. Like how he said "sir" and shit. That was really unfitting.
And then when he accidentally shot New-Kratos and then apologized afterward in a way that felt like the type of apology for spilling your drink on someone in the 21st century.
And from the gameplay it's currently too hard to imagine what the full thing will be like but I feel that this is very possible:

But we are in Norse lands now, greek theme wouldn't fit.
why is the kid's face so fucked up with scars? Did Kratos go at him with that knife one day?
>>341582983
dota is better, right?
>>341582363
He does seem nice, I like him just fine and he is kind of cute but he does act a bit too much like a modern kid.
>>341583005
I meant the music, not the lyrics.
They could've easily kept the musical motif but spice it up a bit and change the lyrics.
>>341582564
> Sounded like Demons Souls.
Yeah during that extended orchestra sequence I was actually expecting "Demons Souls: [something of the something] edition" to pop up on the screen.
>>341582779
Oh it's this guy again
I don't give a fuck about the reason as long as we get to go after Odin and Freya.
>mfw Dante's Inferno is better GoW4 than actual GoW4 will be
>>341583163
>>341582564
a large reason for that is because of the size of the orchestra. here they used a rather small one so it could fit. demon's souls had a very small orchestra as well due to its budget. it has a pretty distinct sound.
>>341583296
>i'm a dumb animushitter and didn't read the thread
You're playing as Odin, Kratos is the Odin of this story, the kid is Thor. Jotunn are the enemies you'll be killing.
>>341582363
Dang it Bobby
>>341582779
Females a shit, same reason no female Link.
>>341582745
Kratos got so pissed he killed War
>>341568851
Nah, that boy is going to be the next protagonist.
Kratos is kill for sure in this game.
>>341572361
>(making some Muslims MuhamMAD in the process) before going off to kill Jesus and his disciples.
But Islam only appeared 600 years after JC
If he goes ot kill Jesus, Muhammad wasn't even born yet

Is God of War really that popular?
>>341583121
>>341582782
>but he does act a bit too much like a modern kid
this.
was really off-putting to me.
>>341583709
>3 mainline games
>2 handheld interquels
>1 mainline prequel spinoff
Gee man, I dunno, they clearly made all those games because they were bored and not because they were selling like crazy or anything.
>>341582363
he looks like he's seen the rage of sparta one too many times
>>341583709
>Is God of War really that popular?
Yes. But most views are from Sony maketers. views can be bought, you know?
>>341572124
Do you also breath exclusively through your mouth?
>>341568851
I'll feel a mixture of relief, disappointment, sadness and happiness,
>Relief, because the newe god of war won't become the Last of Us; Viking edition.
>Disappointment, because using the same McGuffin over and over is really cheap
>Disappointment because charing up the game as something different, then doing it old fashioned is a lot of wated effort.
>Sadness because poor motherfucker can't get a break
>Joy because we'll get back to what god of war was all about.
But I think that this is highly unlikely
>>341583709
According Facebook data in another thread God of War is one of the more popular games being discussed
>>341583382
I really hope you're joking.
Way to ruin the game.
>>341584273
More like make better
>>341578434

>Not Spear
Pretty excited for this. Hopefully the combat ramps up.
>>341570759
underrated post
>>341584459
I tried to watch the guy hand when the fighting started to determine how much of it is actually done by the player, and how much of is it unskippable interactive cutscene, but they showed nothing.
>>341584459
It really does need too, combat looked so slow, stilted, and shallow. No room for flashy combo chains or anything.
FUCKING REEE IS THIS AFTER GOW3 OR NOT?
KRATOS LOOKS OLDER, AND THE DEVELOPERS WENT ON ABOUT HOW KRATOS LIVED A HARD LIFE DURING THOSE GREEK YEARS
AND HE BEARS A SCAR
SO WHICH IS IT?
>>341584459
>combat
I'm sorry anon it looks mostly qte or scripted animations
>>341573150
?
>>341583838
Now that they've revealed a bit more of the story, there might actually be a good explanation for it. Kratos is worried about his son turning out like the greek gods, so maybe he was a bit too sheltered out of fear that he'd start RIP AND TEARing and raping everything.
>>341571147
I thought Tyr was the god of war?
>>341574186
I think Kratos dying of old age is the best possible ending for his story.
Another alternate would be that he sacrifices himself for the kid.
I think playing the kid instead of maiming the image and the fighting style of Kratos is much better.
>>341584620
Dumb frogposter that's too lazy to google or read the thread.
Kill yourself.
>>341584620
this is after greek world and continuation of story.
kratos and his son are god/demigod.
>>341584968
Part of can excuse the weak apology he gave for shooting Kratos in the arm, I mean it's not like it probably hurt him much, but tonally it still felt off like something you'd hear today. I guess I just really want to hear him talk more old timey, you know something like Kratos himself.
>>341585017
I thought Tyr was the god of justice.
or that was D&D?
>>341568851
>aneging your wife's son's death
Quite progressive motivation for videogame!
YFW you only control the kid at the end of the game.
YFW the final boss is the Midgard Serpent.
>>341578914
>>341579663
This sounds good
Except the gameplay looks like shit. God dammit, why can't western devs get over the fact they are t movie directors and just make a fucking good video game that also has a good story jesus fuck it makes me so mad.
God of War 4 had a lot of potential. Smaller scale battles is fine, not being an angry man 24/7 is fine, not having another chain blade is great, but Jesus fuck what the demo showed was utter trash and already lost a sale in me. I'll just watch the game on youtube
>mfw all these retards that think you will be killing Norse gods even though it's all but confirmed that the kid is Thor and Kratos will be Odin
>>341568851
Faggots out here complain about everything.
You don't understand how hyped I am about fighting Norse gods and creatures in this game. Also Kratos seems to have a personality, which makes him more endearing. I'm also curious about what the boy will do in the story.
>b-but cinematics
You wanted them to introduce the game like the boring videos from the Ubisoft/EA conferences?
>>341583318
he wooks so fwuffy
>>341585017
Odin is god of war
Tyr is god of Justice and Law
Thor is god of protection of yourself/community
It ties back into ancient indo-european tripartite society, that exists amongst all indo-european people. That means Europeans, Iranians, Northern indians etc, they always gods who represent the:
>Ruling Class/Warriors:
[Odin/Zeus sometimes Ares/Perun/Shiva]
>Clerics/Lawmakers:
[Tyr/Athena/Radegast/Brahma]
>Protectors/Peasants/Workers
[Thor/Dionysus/Veles/Vishnu]
It differed of course from cult to cult and region to region, with different gods taking the place of others for specific roles. When Europeans converted to christianity they continued the three-part society of pagan europe. with:
>Those who fight
Knights and feudal lords
>Those who pray
Monks, Priests, Bishops, etc
>Those who work
Serfs, Peasants and Freemen
>>341583318
Ruined by he never had an attack where he swings his hips and slaps you in the face with his dong, sending you flying and taking off a huge chunk of health.
>>341585447
Is the Midgard Serpent a creature actually final boss worthy?
I like the part with the kid because i liked the part with Kratos and Pandora, it gave the big angry asshole a little bit of humanity.
>literally pulling out a dindu nuffin card because god=asshole side effect
>>341585860
I think it's more Kronos-tier.
>>341572241
It is. Confirmed by devs
>>341585537
>fighting Norse gods
Yeah about that.
>>341585938
Even bigger, honestly. You could have a whole level or two inside it/on it
>in the Demo you clearly see xp gains for tracking, hunting and bow shooting
>kratos doesn't do any of that, he doesn't even use the bow
>"hurr, the son will die"
>"hurr you won't play as the son"
did your parents told you repeatedly you were "just like the other children" ?
serious question
>>341572874
>he has different skills and movesets depending on what you've leveled him in during the game
>>341586045
The game itself is appealign to me. I don't really need that. I just want to see what it will be like.
>>341585639
thanks autist-sama
and what if we dont even kill gods in this one?
>>341585895
Yes but Kratos had a LOT of reason to be the Angryman
>Killed wife and daughter, had to wear their ashes
>Brother:Murdered after short reuinion
>Daughter:Broke her heart in heaven
>Mom; killed by own hands again
>Homelad and people; slaughtered by divine punishment
>Buddy who helped him out once: killed by own hands again
>
>>341586272
We already know that. We'll be killing the Jotunn.
>>341586219
>those britbong teeth
>>341586272
Then this is less god of war than we have imagined
>>341585639
I guess you learn something new every day
>>341586336
but Thor fights the Jötunn too
also they're just giants and no gods
>>341568851
Cheer
>>341586331
I don't deny that, i just thought it was sweet because you saw another side of him than the angry part. But in the end he choose revenge.
>>341568851
>Kratos turned into a norse god
>>341586514
Yeah I liked it too. Especially because it managed to get a relatively happy ending.
>>341586484
>also they're just giants and no gods
That was my point. Kratos is Odin and the kid is Thor. Jotunn are the enemies, you won't be killing gods.
>>341586559
>kratos/loki sex scene
>>341586668
Yeah but aren't jotuns sorta on level with the norse gods? They are like the titans of the Greek mythology
>>341568851
To be entirely honest, I'm expecting Kratos to be killed, imprisoned or gravely wounded and then player control shifting to the boy as a young warrior. Why else would they have "knowledge gained" stats. Kratos knows his shit.
Wait. So if Kratos is Odin, and the boy is Thor...where is Loki?
>>341586757
They are. My point still stands though, we aren't killing Norse gods in this one, we're setting up the Norse pantheon instead.
