I think they're going for that kind of relationship a lot. At the end of the original E3 trailer Kratos actually starts reaching out to pat his son on the back but pulls back a second later as if he's confused of how to handle even a simple fatherly action like that. Personally that kind of stuff is what excites me for the game as it was a very subtle little thing and I hope the rest of the game follows suit as Kratos the reluctant father who is growing alongside his own son as a person.

I wish the kid looked this cool in the final game.
I wonder how my mate will receive this game. He loves God of War but finds Uncharted 4 too "slow" to be enjoyable, which got me thinking as the E3 2016 demo indicates SSM has taken a page out of Naughty Dog's book of storytelling-driven game design. If the game is paced very differently to previous entries, he'll probably have mixed feelings.
Edit: Oh, not demo, gameplay trailer.

I don't think kratos is looking at retirement. I think the biggest adjustment will be the fact there wont be any camera cuts.
Haha, sure, but I get the impression the exploration of a father/son relationship might result in more interstitial downtime than he'd like. I don't think he's invested enough in Kratos as a character to forgive the game leaning more towards telling a bittersweet story than the series' trademark brutal gameplay.

Awesome work.
I'm in love with the level of detail that Santa Monica Studios are putting into the environment, especially the snowscapes.
The collision and animation for the snow are such a small, yet an awesome detail that adds to the overall immersion and atmosphere. These areas have Kratos and the boy kicking up snow in a realistic manner and leaving a trail.
You can get a sense that they're truly at an elevated place, from the wind carrying the snow particles.
People often forget how important animation and physics are when it comes to a game having amazing visuals. It's one thing for a game to look good in a screenshot, yet to have it not only moving before your eyes but also interacting with all the elements through gameplay makes it that much more enjoyable for me.

I dont think they will change the boy's hair to blonde like the artwork. It was probably blond before and they changed it to the current one.
Also they already revealed the final box art and the boy has the red hair.
I do liked it too. But I think it makes him older and that is not something they are aiming, at least not for this game.

Given the game's color palette (that they've shown so far) red hair makes more sense than blond from a visual design standpoint.

GOD DAMN.
This is going to be a very special game. And quite frankly I'm not a God of War fan.

Big fan of the son design here.
That concept looks like it's from one area in the game.

Can't wait
Is this the first GoW with ragdoll physics (if that isn't precanned)?
Looks great either way
Saw that third pic a long ass time ago, so not sure it's a good idea to expect changes to the kid's design based on any of them.
Edit: Apparently two months is a long ass time in my world.

Lol, the Atreus' arms are ripped.I think they went purposefully with a softer looking design.

I wouldn't expect any less from him tbh, people claiming he's a piece of shit and whatnot don't understand despair and rage. He is one of the most real, authentic, unhindered piece of anger and focus in any video game ever. Looking so much forward for this. Hoping he is going to be able to make room for vulnerability which he showed in the first trailer

Gorgeous concept art. Really liking the boy's hair like that, surprisingly, I wish it had stayed that way in game.
Just finished playing Hellblade not that long ago, and runes-runes-runes, must walk around the house, staring at all the angles to find runes! I don't know what to do with all these runes at once.

I haven't been following the game, but Kratos' son is blonde? Not what I'd expect...
Wait, is it his biological son?

Holy shit!
I think its Silver hair!! and he is his biological son as told by Cory himself!!

I was like "God of War? Fuck yeah!" and couldn't get past his avatar.

The visuals are incredible. But those snow physics aren't super convincing.

I hate concept art, because the final product never ends up looking as good as what I see in those still images.
Absolutely beautiful artwork. Cannot wait for this game! This is one of my favorite series.
I'm with you. Physics effects like this are incredible to me, and really get me excited. To have a world that feels alive, and being able to alter it with physics, adds SO much to a game imo.

Ok then. Let's see how this goes when the game is out.
