seems like it'd cool but it's still kratos so what the FUCK is the point

[C.Mongler]

i mean norse, cool


but kratos? are we sure that's kratos? doesn't look much like kratos to me it better not be fucking kratos

[Thyme]

i want it to be kratos tbh

[Mando Pandango]

i mean norse, cool


but kratos? are we sure that's kratos? doesn't look much like kratos to me it better not be fucking kratos

the shoulder/arm markings in the Yggdrasil picture pretty much confirm it, as well as him being mentioned by name in the concept art (check the GAF link in the article)

honestly though i'd rather just see the story start over again with a norse hero

ÞOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-kratos at the end of this game's cliff hanger þÞ

after like 5 minutes of research i've determined that it would be cool to play as Hermóðr

Hermóðr ("war-spirit")[10] acts as Frigg's messenger after the death of Balder, sallying forth to Hel and attempting to secure the release of the beloved god.

    Now when the gods had come to themselves, Frigg spake, and asked who there might be among the Æsir who would fain have for his own all her love and favor: let him ride the road to Hel, and seek if he may find Baldr, and offer Hel a ransom if she will let Baldr come home to Ásgard. And he is named Hermódr the Bold, Odin's son, who undertook that embassy.[11]

As seen above, he is described (at least in the Prose Edda) as the All-Father's son (or at least his servant). However, some evidence (not least the fact that "Snorri never mentions Hermod in his lists of the Aesir") suggests that he is a euhemerized human hero rather than a deity.[12]

Kratos is a boring character now.
After 5-6 games of him yelling,  it's time for a new angle

Or they could do ANOTHER PREQUEL about kratos

[Hiro]

kratos was boring after II

[ME##]

kratos was boring the second he didn't die after falling from mons olympus

[YPrrrr]

Dammit on NSider a long time ago I basically wrote the premise for the god of war games but it was with Egyptian gods instead of Greek or Norse

Where's my check

and when I was like 11 I came up with the designs for clothes the Foongus and Hydreigon lines of Pokemon. Shit happens.

agreed

[squirrelfriend]

i invented shitposting
also like should i get into god of war at all? is it a good series or is it antiquated by modern standards?

[Samus Aran]

even if the new protagonist is basically kratos at least give him a new name that fits with the mythology

and i do not like the idea of co-existing/regional mythologies just so the existing kratos has an excuse to kill more gods

even the first god of war is by no means antiquated. they kept the exact same mechanics for the entire franchise for a good reason - they got it down perfectly the first time

in fact, really, even if you don't play any of the other games, at least play the first game. unless you don't like action games i guess.

[C.Mongler]

yeah if u like action games they are pretty dope
