Thanks for the acknowledgment about my post GMG.  But, on to the current discussion.  That video was sweet!  It showed so much that we haven`t seen before, it had a cool narrator(would still slightly prefer the oracle to narrate the story in-game though), and gave us a few quotes from in the game.  Awesome.  Yes, I am thinking that with the similarities between the picture GMG posted and the giant rock figure in the video(thanks Curlfro) that it is indeed Atlas that we fight in a few quick scenes in that video, and apparently we seem to get a bow from him(likely the wind bow, maybe not, it looked more solid in that video than the wind bow we have seen in the past).  I for one am just glad to see more teasers for the game.

Edit:  It also seems that Icarus is confirmed as a boss.  We knew he was going to be in there before, and we were pretty sure we were going to fight him, but now we have scenes of Kratos fighting him(very briefly) to make it official.  And upon a more in-depth perception(read:paused) view of that bow, I am almost totally certain that it is the wind bow, the first level of the wind spell.

Edit again!: Yeah, after hearing GMG`s thoughts in the comprehensive thread, it would make a lot of sense for that to have been Typhon, and not Atlas as I had first thought, and it is obviously not Kronos.

I think that if those videos weren`t canon, they would have been labeled as such when we saw them.  However, I have always felt that although the Birth of the Beast unlockable seemed cool, it somehow didn`t fully fit.  The other two I take as pretty much canon though, and therefore not only is Kronos still alive for another 1000 years, but he still has that massive temple on his back.  All he can do is crawl!  Even considering that simply because of his size a quick hand smash would crush a city, Kratos would still easily be able to take him down.  As to exactly how we get that thunder spell from Kronos, I have no idea, but I doubt that we actually "fight" him.  The unlockables weren`t labeled as absolutely canon either, so it could turn out they were just thrown in there for fun.  But Atlas should be very interesting whatever role he has, since, while Kronos is carrying a huge Temple, Atlas has to hold up the entier ****ing world!  Granted, it is the Greek`s vision of the world, so far smaller than it really is, but still way bigger than Pandora`s temple, so yeah, Atlas really did get the shaft.

Undead soldier"Ow, my head, do you have any idea how hard it will be to put that back on?"

Kratos"No, but it will be even harder once I cut your arms off too."

I liked it, it changed up the gameplay at times, and helps distinguish GOW from other action games.  9.

It was a little hard to decide between gameplay and story.  I chose gameplay.  A lot of people say that DMC has better gameplay, and while I have recently played DMC3(4 runs), and loved it, I just remember GOW to be so very engaging and just plain fun the entire time, and in the end a little better in my opinion.

No, the sky is not blue.  That is just the name we have given that color.

I live nowhere near there.  However, I pre-ordered my copy from Gamestop.  If you have a credit/debit card you can order it online.

My dad is like that too.  He tells me really good jokes.  Some of which I can`t post on this board, and most of which I wouldn`t want to say in front of my mom.

I pre-ordered GOWII.  I think it is the first game I have ever pre-ordered.  It is so nice having a debit card.  I`m 18 and my parents got me a debit card for my checking account(which I earned the money for at a part-time job) to get money from while I was in Japan.  I have since bought a bunch of stuff off of the ol` net.

I was joking when I mentioned the possibility of him being a boss.  But, yeah, a running gag would be great.
