That's what I'm thinking. I expect they wait until psX show us a new epic boss then give a release date of March-may hopefully.
Can't put the date in case of a delay
At first I thougt it looked like Odin, but since the kid says your dull hammer doesn't scare me I'm pretty confident it's a Thor doll.

Can't help that Kratos didn't understand what the hell the troll was saying
If this is a March-May 2017 then I'll need a Neo bundle stat!That's what I'm thinking. I expect they wait until psX show us a new epic boss then give a release date of March-may hopefully.

There is no way this game launches withing 9 months of an E3 at which they revealed no date for it. They got a freaking orchestra for it, this their holiday heavy-hitter.
Well it's Santa Monica Studio. They are awesome. Love their games since the beginning. So I knew the reveal of their next game will blow us away. Kratos is ony of Sony's most beloved characters. I can't wait to see more of him in the near future. Finally, he's back (man, I'm still hyped. The conference blew me away.)
Cory said it would be coming "soon" in an interview. I can't imagine that meaning 18 months out.
It is not unheard of to release games shortly after reveal. Look at Fallout 4. Game is coming Q1 2017. I'm almost certain.

This is Sony. No way. Holiday 2017 at the earliest.

I had a feeling that all the games they showed were quite a way into development.
Would not be the least bit surprised if the runes on the axe represent different upgrades purchased for that weapon.
Lol yeah, that looks like an upgrade tree for Axe.
Three years into God of War apparently so it's well on its way but it's pretty normal to have two E3 showings for the bigger AAA titles (if you agree with that it's another matter, Fallout 4 announce/release pattern is sadly the exception).
I think it was to confuse the boy, who understood both Ancient Norse and English. Either the surprise of him suddenly speaking English was meant to confuse him, or he was simply confused and hesitant because it was speaking and almost begging for its life in a way, I guess.
That's pretty awesome if the upgrade trees are fused onto the weapons themselves.
The troll is just a typical enemy? Goddamn, son.
Huh. Interesting bit about the gods. I'm assuming then that the Norse gods (and possibly the others) knew Kratos for his deeds. Some of them, at least.

Its probably the equivalent to the Cyclops in the older GoW games.
Yeah, I realized. Still, gonna be epic as hell fighting lots of these things throughout the game.

I finally could watch the trailer on a bigger screen and one can how Kratos tricep flexes when he takes the bow over his shoulders. looks quite unnecessary but looks cool.
I had assumed this would be the big '17 holiday title. If this comes in Spring or something instead, I wonder what the year end games will be?
He had a brother and a mother.

he had daughter, maybe having a boy is different I guess.
I had to say, it's kinda refreshing to see video game dad that are actually super strict and scary like Kratos. seems like the father figure I see in games recently are more the protective and gentle type toward their kids.
A release in Q1 would be weird, since you would have Horizon and God of War competing against each other. Personally I would see Q2 as an ideal period, especially with the success UC4 and TLOU have had there.

Because it didn't want to die...
That demo in general was amazing, but for me the emotionaö climax at the end with the dear, the boys llok at apporoval missed and Kratos reaching out to the shoulder of the boy just to stop and going for the knive.
It is such a high emotional scene and showing the conflicting behaviors and the missed opportunities to bond deeper but still bond.
If this making sense.
but dont you guys think Kratos seems kind of strict
i mean despite being a jerk in the beginning it seemed like Joel cared more about Ellie than Kratos does with his son..and Ellie wasn't even Joel's daughter
Would not be the least bit surprised if the runes on the axe represent different upgrades purchased for that weapon.
Could be. There are even 3 remaining slots under the Frost-gem/rune he put in his axe. Also, the way the ice is following the lines but not completely, seems to point out that his axe was not fully upgraded.
Based on the interviews with Cory Barlog, the game's events seems to be set before the Gods became the deities of the Norse mythology. As he (Cory) said that the game events occur during a time where people believed that the gods abandoned them while they (the gods) were walking/roaming among them.

some dads are just like that in real life. I think it's rather refreshing to see a dad character that are actually strict to their kid.

he didn't said that, he said that in viking era, the vikings believe Gods abandoned them, there no Gods walking among viking at that era.
the story of new GoW takes place before the Viking era where the Gods walk on earth/midgard.
I guess they haven't lived in Asgard yet or something.
A member pointed I that out in the other thread. In the final scene with dragon/wyvern, If you look closely in between the trees, just above the animal Kratos killed, you can see a -what looks like a scaly snowfield- slowly moving towards the left side of the screen.
can you screenshot it and use some paint to indicate it
I am currently on mobile, lol.
Bit Kratos is damaged goods and how Christopher Judge put it: How to bea father, when you never have been fathered.
Take he is a trained soldier for a lifetime, lost his family, killed his god father and brought down a god empire with a real problem with his temper.
It is more out of a believe, I think, that his son need this lessons to survive. At the same time his behavior is a shield to not getting to close. There are cracks in this shield at the end of the demo, but just for a moment.
so essentially despite living in Scandinavia now
Kratos simply cannot let go of his Spartan past?
