>KNOWLEDGE GAINED
>+50 ARHCERY
HE IS A FUCKING GOD OF WAR WHO KILLED COUNTLESS GODS. AND HE STILL NEEDS KNOWLEDGE BOWS?
WHY THE FUCK IS THIS ALLOWED?
Don't be a faggot
>>341232676
So Kratos isn't allowed to get better at Archery? I don't understand your complaint.
Maybe there's a "Kratos" in every mythology in their universe and this is just the next one in the cycle of Kratoses
>>341232676
we skyrim now
>>341232825
He already used bows very flawlessly in old games. What makes you think he needs more knowledge about anything with fighting?
fuck they really are trying to go witcher route
there was nothing wrong with the og gameplay why do this
might as well make a new char instead of kratos
You ain't gonna play as Kratos. You're gonna play as the kid. Why the fuck would Kratos get xp for something the kid did.
>>341232676
>>341232825
Plenty of experience in archery, too. You couldn't get much more proficient than he was by GoW3
>>341232825
His complaint is stupid just like this entire god forsaken board. Everyone here just hates and complains about everything without making any actual points.
>>341232848
This.
Think of God Of War as Zelda now.
>>341232676
Its for the kid you idiot, notice control switched over to him when he was shooting the deer. You're obviously going to play as him grown up.
God or War? More like..
NOVICE OF WAR. heh
>>341232848
he's a Spartan too though
>>341232975
A complaint can be a point. The point can be to get attention drawn to an issue.
And in this case it probably is.
Because god of war is a shit franchise
>>341232848
But he has "Spartan rage"
>>341232676
LMAO IS THAT A WITCHER MOD?
>the kid is Odin
It's the first time GoW has looked like something interesting since the PS2
>>341232929
>>341232964
Wait, how do you know it's the same Kratos? Is it a fact?
>>341233114
What's the issue with a skill tree? Shadow of mordor had a skill tree and the MC in that game had tons of experience prior to the events of that game. This is just stupid knit picking bullshit.
>>341232676
The fucking kid gained archery skill not Kratos, did you not notice he was playing as the kid when he shot the bow?
>>341233228
And he has that omega symbol on his belt.
>>341232676
Could be a different god of war.
This is taking place in Norse Mythology. Maybe a god killer is cyclical thing or this is a reboot.
Either way, it makes sense to move away from Greek mythology and the greek powered weapons and such because Kratos killed everything in that universe. They would have to get into other concepts like Cronos (the pirmeval concept of time) Chaos, and shit like that.
>>341232994
>>341233425

>>341233507
>>341233350
>>341232848
This is in every thread and every time someone has to point out that he has the same scars Kratos got in-game.
>>341233228
is this the new PC gameplay?
>>341233350
It is pretty obvious. He has "Spartan rage" His wrists where the chains were have burns and are bandaged.
And his stomach still has that huge scar(kinda vanished over the years. but its still noticeable)
>>341233315
This. Ascension was the stalest shit.
>>341233249
now this idea I like
we witcher now
>mashing square is actually punished
I might be interested in this series for the first time in years if they lay low on the escort after the opening segment.
>>341232676
Obviously you're not a God anymore, you fucking retard. And there has to be an upgrade mechanic in GoW in some shape or form.
GoW has always been a casual action game. Why the fuck are you sperging out?
>>341232939
>there was nothing wrong with the og gameplay why do this
Yes there was. Did you see how CV LoS was savaged as a "God of War clone"? By now that style of gameplay is "out." So if they want to continue they series they have to use ebin new cinememe uncharted/skyrimjob/wombraider literpg elements
>>341232676
Kratos dies early in the game.
You play as the kid all grown up.The final chapter reveals that Kratos is alive and you have to kill him as did Zeus killed Cronus and Kratos killed Zeus
>>341233591
Then it can't be The Kratos of Us with you and the kid prancing around with an AI that is ignored by every enemy though
>>341233763
This fucking sucks, though. I miss the Anger-Issues-Guy and "muh vengeance" while slashing everything and killing gods style.
>>341232676
Because Tomb Raider sold a billion copies.
>>341233861
This shit is so predictable that it's awful. Fuck, humans can't come up with anything new or interesting.
>>341232939
>There is nothing wrong with the OG gameplay
There was a lot wrong with GoW's gameplay. The combos required to kill shit mid-late game were too long while they offered little actual threat to Kratos making combat take too long after a certain point for no real reason (I could understand if common enemies were a challenge but once you understood their attack patterns, which the game introduced to you every time you fought a new enemy in a one-on-one event) it was just redundant.
Then you had the god damned push block puzzels, the constant need to spin switches and levers, the slow climb on walls and ceilings with annoying but easily defeated enemies.
GoW had excellent boss fights and glorious finisher kills, but the core game was button mashsy, block pushy, enemy spamming mess of a title when I look back on it now. I played them all, but the more I think about the more I realize they could have made the games a lot better and I rarely wanted to pick them back up.
>>341233697

and thus Odin
>/v/ literally spoiling a game that there's only one trailer out for
>>341232676
wow the skyrim remaster is looking good
>>341232676
Why do games like these (3rd person action) feel the need to put in (often very shallow) RPG mechanics? There probably aren't any choices either because you'll unlock everything at the end anyway, so why don't they just give you certain skills/weapons as the game progress instead of pouring 500 "Archery knowledge" into a skill tree. Of the top of my head Tomb raider, Shadow of mordor, Horizon zero dawn, Assassins creed and now this all seem to do it.
>>341233965
how about a Naked man on a black beach with dead crab, fish and whales. He's partially handcuffed and there's a baby and 5 floating entities.
>>341233978
This is mostly accurate

>>341234151
Because the sense of progressions that RPGs offer is second to none.
Games that give you everything up front are neat and all, but from developer standpoint, knowing exactly what the character has access too allows you to make better honed levels as well.
>>341234025

>>341234421
This isn't fucking Bayonetta
>>341234283
So many possibilites of a great action godfather-of -war game. And we take control of the kid.
That would be such a fucking waste of potential.
>>341233956
You think gameplay is why Tomb Raider flopped?
>>341234584
But the kid will take what he learned from Uncle Kratos and then he will grow up to be a good berserk.

What kind of a retard wrote this? This is not the way vikings, or whatever they are, talk.
Kid is going to die early by one of those norse mythology monsters.
Kratos gonna get mad again, fucking telegraphed from a mile away.
They've had the same fucking gameplay for 6 or so games just let it go and let them try something new.
Its just a video game son
>>341234679
Uuuuuh.
No.
>>341232676
Did you seriously not get that it was the kid who gained the experience and you obviously play as the grown up kid later in the game because Kratos dies or fucks off somewhere?
>>341234730
How do you know? Next you'll be saying that Rome wasn't an evil dictator country and Germany isn't the rightful land of the African peoples!
>>341234730

God of War wasn't in Greek so why should this be in Danish?
>>341233978

Play above normal. I'm not being smug. The games are just more fun and dynamic when you have to pay attention to what you're doing.
I never minded the puzzle elements, either. Some puzzles were better than others, but that's also true of Zelda. More power to you though.
>>341234193
I'm listening, Mr Hideo or Kojima.....
>>341234754
Read any of these threads, either that kid will be the playable character after this tutorial, or it will be TLoU with you playing both of them. Which could be great in a GoW setting, muh every game in a series must be the same.
Seriously screencap any post claiming this so you can throw it in our faces if you think it won't happen.
>>341234952

I beat the game in all modes and its harder than just challenging. That faggot is just a normalfag.

I agree. They shouldn't speak English either, and communicate solely in Old Norse. You think they had modern English back in 803 AD Norway?
>>341235245
Not really. It conveys respect and acknowledgement of authority. It was once (and still is, in some places) common for "Yes, sir"s and such to be spoken to parents or any adult.
This board is fucking ridiculous.
>>341235408
I can assure you that at no point does Bayonetta go back in time.
>>341235408
Junko is not the mastermind
So the kid is Siegfried who will kill the dragon after receiving guidance from Kratos.
it represents the kid learning from kratos throughout the game. not kratos himself
you killed all the gods in the 3rd game so you fell off the cliff landed in the water than decades past as you floated through water/time and end up with amnesia in nordic folklore land and dont remember anything you did but you live you life until they take you son, who is now a god or demigod and now you must kill all the gods of nordic myth

>>341235989

It's a sequel and it's fine.
>>341236007
I meant the kid.
Kratos as Odin makes a certain amount of sense though.
>>341232676
It's for his son you goddamn blind faggot
So is the kid gonna be a real part of the game?
>>341232676

>For Kratos, this change means breaking the cycle of violence, distrust and deception that his family, the Greek pantheon, perpetuated for so long. That cycle drove a whole host of bad decisions – the ill-fated deal with Ares, the murder of his family and a rage fueled descent into madness and vengeance that ultimately ended with the epic destruction of Olympus.
Anyone here think maybe that's the tutorial level and after it is a time-skip and you play as the kid? Cause yknow, Kratos didn't use the bow.
I don't recall Greece having so many trees.
Will they ever realize putting a cartoony character like Kratos into a super realistic world breaks suspension of disbelief?
>>341233861
I would not be surprised one bit if this shit happens.
>>341236265
So he's a pussy?
>>341236174
My bad.
But Sigurd receives guidance from Odin. And considering Kratos' past and general behaviour, I hardly see him settling down and having a son.
Granted he is not missing an eye.

>>341236775
No. But the Blood-orb thing in the old games makes alot more sense than this. Kratos gained powers from his enemies' blood/souls. He doesnt need any knowledge about fighting..
>>341232676
Because now it's "Norse Knowledge"
>>341232929
maybe the exp shit is related to the boy instead?
>>341235491
Of course she does!
When she is a kid, get transported to future (present in game) and then travels back for her own time to grow up in the end of the game.

hopefully the game ends with him killing himself and yggdrasil.
Why did they turn a fast paced beat-em-up into another yet another "cinematic experience"?
Why do they put so much of an emphasis on graphics of the environment and foliage yet have Kratos's ugly back covering 1/6 of the screen at all times?

Also the fact THAT THE FUCKING CREATORS CONFIRMED IT IS KRATOS AND ITS SET YEARS AFTER THE END TO 3
>>341232676
To be fair, acquiring knowledge and wisdom was a central part of Norse mythology, particularly where Odin was concerned.
Recall that, to that end, he put out one of his own eyes (thus sacrificing mortal vision for knowledge of the cosmos), as well as hanged himself for nine days to learn of the runes.
>>341237501
Odin is pretty hard boiled.
It was clearly for the kid.
>>341237378
axes are not that sharp
>>341237425
They have to be breaking some mold at least.
Can't have the game being TOO much like The Last Of Us.
>>341237594
Aye, and that pursuit of knowledge would ultimately be his undoing.
I think this game is shit and not worth mentioning it
I'm way more mad that the combat doesn't feel brutal. When playing Kratos there should be rage everywhere. That's what feels so good about playing GoW.
This Last of Us bullshit makes me so mad. It's slow, it makes you feel so small and bound to land.
This ISN'T the way to modernize GoW, which is incredibly sad because I really wanted them to use this setting and add new mechanics, but they just ripped off mediocre successful games.
>Rage meter starts increasing when he's shouting at the boy
Count to 10, Kratos

Kratos no
>>341237954
Daddy Kratos is the best
Why is he wearing that stupid war paint when out in the woods bonding with his son? Does he wear it when watching TV and doing laundry too?
>>341237283
>Kratos is rough and brusque with his son because that's all he knows from a Spartan upbringing

I hope the kid's mother is some Norse goddess.
>>341238372

>>341238103
I just don't see how people could think making a trailer with a character known for killing nearly everything in his path with only 4 easily dispatched enemies was a good idea.
>>341238521
Worst part is that GoW always starts strong.
1 has you ripping harpies apart and killing a Hydra.
2 has you being a giant asshole destroying Athens and fighting the Giant of Rhodes
3 one has you fighting your way to Poseidon and making him blind.
Dunno man, this isn't muh GoW.

>>341238129
>>341238923
maybe it's RELATIONSHIP exp
>>341232676
The boy is Kratos you stupid nigger
Kratos has more personality in that trailer alone than in 6 previous games.
Kinda hope the game will show how his son grows up into a fine warrior, with Kratos finally finding peace in the end.
>>341236110
In a world without brand image, perhaps.
But we live in this world where the protagonist must be and established icon and a child sidekick only exists to die or get kidnapped in the first act and serve as a vehicle for a revenge/rescue plot.
Reminder: Kratos is dead and was somehow brought to Valhalla. The ogre demands to know how Kratos got there during the battle in the demo. Chances are the boy's mother is a valkyrie that brought Kratos to Valhalla.
>>341232676
He wasn't the one shooting the arrow though. Go figure the rest out for yourself.
>>341237687
Confirmed, my my right leg was not cut off when it was hit by an axe
It still hurt though
>>341237059
Maybe, since at one point the XP stuff comes after the boy fires the bow. So I was half expecting it to switch to the boy in the end.
Also, 10 bucks that boy is Odin.
>>341238742
But is it the start of the game?
They probably show some footage to show how the game feel in general it might start differently
The camera is a bit too close, and Kratos' attacks seem really barebones.
He pulled mad amounts of crazy shit in the previous games and beat Zeus to death. I see OP's point perfectly - why shoehorn stupid shit like "experience" into God of War, when things like the red orbs and weapon upgrades worked flawlessly?
>>341239597
Because Witcher and Dark Souls are the new hotness and because character action games don't sell anymore.
>>341239085
Kratos isn't into shotas.
>>341239829
What a philistine.
Though his shota is pretty ugly so maybe he just has taste.

Almost certainly not.
It's a god of war game, if odin is the last boss, he will be in the sequel and unless it's time travel the kid is probably not going to be the final boss.
Kids in action games have 2 roles, kidnapped or murdered to drive the plot.

It could be a two-pronged approach. In one campaign play as the kid who has grown up (or while he's still a kid) where RPG statistics matter, while in the other campaign you play as Kratos. Maybe they get split up and the kid has the "survival" gameplay, while Kratos gets the "beat em up" gameplay (which is now mixed with Souls).

But they didn't exist Kratos is from Ancient Greece.

Buuhuu, god of war always had skills you could learn

Oh wow, I completely forgot Ascension even existed. What a fucking pointless game.

That design actually looks cool as hell
>>341238372
The red part is tattoos, and the white part is the ashes of his family that he was cursed to wear on his body, or some such.
Will this have anything to do with Greek Mythology? If not then what is even the point of calling it God of War, it has nothing to do with the previous games. Honestly, greek mythology was the one thing driving the series forward, even if it was done in a flashy and very inaccurate way, it's why I was interested in playing these games in the first place.
>>341236281
>I don't recall Greece having so many trees.
Maybe don't go exclusively to gay bars in islands next time, Greece has plenty of trees and forests.
>>341248641
Norse mythology is much more interesting when you read up on it and you have bad taste.
>>341239206
I've played the entire series, and I still don't get why he's so pissed. He was a ball of rage before his family even died. Hell, he was pissed before he even made his pact with Ares.
>>341239314
So there's different levels of gods in the GoW universe. It's starting to turn into Dragon Ball.
>>341248848
What the fuck are you even saying? I'm not implying one is better than the other, just saying the series was built on Greek mythology, Kratos is a fucking God of War from Sparta, it'd be very weird to deviate from that basic setting.
Although Greek mythology is far better than Norse mythology indeed.
>>341232676
>thinking you're playing as kratos and not the kid
>thinking that it's not the kid learning those things, especially with the timing of when the messages pop up

It's the very same character. Why? I don't know.
>>341249042
Well now he's a norse god of war.
He's an immigrant in valhalla taking the valhallan jobs and lives.

Halo has done it twice now.

Kratos already killed all the greek mythology, it's all dead
>>341242859
Who hasn't Kratos fucked?
>>341249242
Nah senpai, there's still a bunch of shit they haven't even touched.
>>341249242
The major players are all dead, but Kratos didn't kill the entire pantheon.
>>341248998
>I've played the entire series, and I still don't get why he's so pissed. He was a ball of rage before his family even died. Hell, he was pissed before he even made his pact with Ares.
His entire life was war and suffering.
He was repeatedly manipulated and tricked by the gods.
Everything he loved is dead.
He is cursed to wear the ashes of his family and see visions of him being manipulated into killing them over and over.
He has no reason at all to not be angry. However the new game clearly shows that is not as angry anymore and is trying to open up.
>>341249042
Your taste is trash, much like God of War itself. The franchise has been fucking retarded since God of War II, where Kratos became full-on marty stu, and the very pretense of a story became insipid and awful.

You don't even know what that means, so please refrain from using buzzwords.
There is never anything perfect about Kratos. The character wears his flaws on his sleeves for fuck sake.

Skyrim has fewer animations in its entire game than any one minute slice from that GoW teaser

It's like 24 season 2. He acts like a bearded faggot at first, but when Odin kills his unlikeable son he will shave it and destroy the entire norse pantheon of gods.

The leveling up is obviously for the kid, maybe he'll be some support character? Both tracking and archery seem like good skills for the sideline.
Personally I like how GoW has Kratos about to fuck up an entirely new pantheon, my guesses are gods control specific realms in their universe and he just fucked off north after really having nothing left to do.
Since Yahweh was originally the Jewish god of war, but somehow at some point became 'the one true god', I wonder if Kratos is basically an allegory for the spread of monotheism, brutalizing polytheistic pantheons as he goes.
>>341249685
Let's deconstruct that exceedingly simple set of two sentences.
>your taste is trash
This refers to you claiming that Greek mythos was 'far better' than Norse mythos, which is an absolutely moronic statement to make. At best, it's comparing apples to oranges. At worst, thinking that an apple is superior to an orange because there's more apples around.
>much like God of War itself
The franchise is garbage.
>the franchise has been fucking retarded since God of War II
God of War I was an alright game, and God of War II went into full retard mode with its storyline to the point where the only possible way to enjoy it was to not understand it.
>where Kratos became a full-on Marty Stu
Near bad that happens to him is his fault, yet it's always spun to be the blame of someone else, and he can solve all his problems by just being the most superior best manliest most incredible individual of all time. He kills the fucking God responsible for making things die, for Christ's sake. Even a drooling idiot like you can understand how stupid that is.
>the very pretense of a story became insipid and awful
See above.
I hope now you can understand what exactly was being said in an extremely simple statement. Sadly, I can't be around all the time, so you may in the future have to develop some strange thing called 'critical reading capabilities'.

Yahweh wasn't "the" jewish god of war. Jahweh's roots can be traced back to a tribal deity from some hebrew people long before the jewish religion existed. I think he was mostly associated with fire, not really war.
Just a heads up.

How did he even gain it? he just took the bow from the kid before this popped up.
Here's a hint for you idiots:
The kid did the tracking
The kid did the archery
You clearly play as the kid after Kratos dies/leaves
>>341250324
>>341250508
>>341250502
Yo, thanks for the info, guess I was wrong.
Still kinda convinced on the monotheism theory though.
>>341250597
Yeah, I wondered about that myself, I think the bow warped from the kid to Kratos or vice versa at one point.
>>341250706
Yeah, I'm feeling it too.
>>341232676
Woooaaah watch out there keyboard warrior, you might break your fingers or the rest of your brain cells. It's obviously for the kid since did you see Kratos use a bow in there at all besides to help out hos kid? Learn to analyze before going apeshit.
>>341250820
The last GoW has Kratos go to India to fuck up their gods but he slips on a designated shitting street and breaks his neck, leaving him to drown in a thin layer of feces.
Which is why Hinduism is still around.
>>341250324
Holy fuck calm down
>>341251185
Nah, hinduism just rebirthes itself.
