God of War appears on animator's CV

So we knew a new God of War title is on the way from Cory Barlog (God of War 2 director), but this gives some hints as to what it will be about.

Gorgon and Hydra suggests that the setting will be in Greece again. It's also worth noting that the title is only GOD OF WAR.

We're probably looking at a full reboot in the vein of Tomb Raider 2013 (also directed by Cory coincidentally). What I think it is:

• Complete reboot of the gameplay, possibly giving it metroidvania elements
• Set in Greece once again
• Retells the story of Kratos from the beginning with changes to the story since Cory is now writing it

I was expecting a reboot but I was hoping for a different setting, Egypt would be cool. It would be a wasted opportunity since the name God of War could be applied to any mythology that has a god of war.

mmm new God of War mmm

Can't believe Sony would not just let go. It was an amazing game Kratos epic doesn't need rebooting nor remakes.

Please have a different mythos

Please have a different pantheon

Please not Greek mythology and kratos again.

I love this series so much but I can not take another game with the same main character and pantheon again.

I only played the 1st game (and a bit of the 3rd, I think) and would def be looking forward to a reboot. I'd also really like it if they made it more of a metroidvania game as the 3rd (at least up to the point I played it) was very linear and focused way too much on the cinematic aspects.

Must've been written in caps.

No more whiney little bitch Kratos, pls.

Cant wait to see what its all about. Greek mythology kicks ass , i wont mind a reboot.

For Christ's sake the story of Kratos? He is a garbage protagonist and is the most unlikable idiot I've ever played as. Change him please.

Shocking.

But GOW needs to evolve alot. And i mean ALOT.

Both ps3 games still kept the design level of the ps2 games. It needs alot of changes to be interesting this time. If we just get GOW: Better GFX edition, then **** off.

And i say this loving God of War since the ps2.

oh yeah, bring it on..

Inb4 it's a VR exclusive, hence the reboot.

Please no.

Let me fight Odin and Thor with a new Nordic Hero.

I'll take another GoW, but let's move on from Kratos.

He'll be even angrier than before.

@AM-Gamer: "Let me fight Odin and Thor with a new Nordic Hero."

If they go that route, how do replace the iconic blades of Olympics?

@kratosyoloswag:

Why they hating on you Kratos?

@lundy86_4: My sentiments exactly. I love me some Gow. But stop with this iteration of it.

@PSP107: I don't hate Kratos I just think his story has come to an end. But I love GoW so whatever they do I'm in.

@AM-Gamer:

My question to you was, if they go the Norse mythology route with a new character, what weapon can replace the Blades of Chaos?

@PSP107: hmm a good question. I think they should let you try different weapons. You don't want it feeling like a reskin of the previous games.

I only want another GOW just to see what they can do on the PS4.

What they did on the PS3 was amazing.

@Juub1990: Lol, what? He's vastly interesting otherwise he wouldn't have 6 or 7 games under his belt already.

@vfighter: Terrible argument.

Kratos.

Vastly interesting.

I hope this is not true. Greek mythology has been done. Egyptian and Japanese are areas they can go to and would be vastly more interesting than a simple reboot of the Kratos story we all know.

As much as I like Kratos' story, it's been overdone now. Rebooting won't change anything. The series need to be set in another time with s new character.

Give me a norse mythology game with a new protagonist.

Let me take out Odins other eye.

Yay, now God of War can continue its trashness for a new generation.

Pretty much this. Norse or Egyptian mythology would have been fine.

God of War 4 is going to be a VR game
