@Isamu_36: I heard Norse Gods could correspond to Hindu deities, never heard of the greek correspondence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aesir-Asura_correspondence
@GunEye: I don't know man, fighting Gods is pretty cool. I don't want to fight no-name monsters as bosses, or uber underground Gods. And I think Odin could be a prick sometimes. Both greek, norse, hindu and shinto Gods have more human characteristics and flaws than the Jewish-Christain one. They were not perfect. The songs might only talk about the good qualities.

"Another Mario game with Mario? C'mon guys." - That comparison makes no sense, no one plays Mario because of the story, the story is minimal and always the same, people play bc of mechanics. And with God of War story matters, mechanics are ofc really important, but story has a much more important role than in Mario.
Kratos is linked with Greek myths putting him in a Norse myth seems half a**ed and makes no sense to me. The game looks really cool, but I wish we had a new protagonist, a fresh start for God of War.
I mean the game is not called God of War 4 for a reason right? But it is a continuation of 3, that is confusing. Can people who never played God of War, play this? If so why not a new protagonist? Using Spartan Rage in a Norse setting, it feels out of place, just like Kratos does. Why not do like Assassin Creed? Another setting / myth, another protagonist? That way you could do sequels that feel fresher (I know Assassins Creed was critized for the yearly releases and saminess).
I don't know, it's just my opinion. I played God of War 1 and 2, I liked Kratos then, I think you should let him rest though, he already killed a Pantheon of Gods, I think its enough.
Also Kratos previous family died, that is why is skin is white ash, it's the ashes of his family. I hope they at least acknowledge that in this one.
