I feel I have murdered everyone in Greek Mythology. Its time to murder new people.

If Kratos is in this, I'm out. For real. The character was never super interesting to begin with, give him a rest.

But everyone hates they in Halo 5.
Old character new pantheon is a nice mix that should please everyone.
All of those have been done (well, Metroid is about to do it).

I am all for it, new characters or Kratos, either is fine
I'm well aware it was lame and shouldn't have been posted
Will be my first god of war. Won't be able to pass this up
I'm laughing my ass off because this is exactly what will happen. God of War 3 is so absurd it's funny.

Fuck Kratos, listen to the haters because they're right I don't wanna play as that angry dick again.
The character is a vessel to see, explore, and kill cool shit.
It's an angry empty canvas.
Having a new character named Krohr does nothing for the series other than potentially losing the God of War name.

Oh shit how i miss this?
It was basically this or Egypt if they wanted to make the series few fresh again with a popular setting.
It's a good choice.
Maybe if they let you choose your protagonist is the only way I'm imagining that happening.
It's a good choice.
I'd be surprised. God of War probably has the most "I absolutely do not want to play as a woman in any circumstance ever." fans I have ever seen for a game series, and Ascension wasn't an especially great seller, so I'm imagining sensitivity to any potential saws road bumps.

Not that shocking if true Norse is up there when it comes to recognizable mythologies that and the fact that they kinda killed off the Greek pantheon in the previous games so now the question is Kratos gonna take his talents to Scandinavia.
Also, add me to the camp that hopes we play as a Valkyrie even though it's a long shot.

I like Kratos but I'm kinda tired of the Blades of Chaos.
New character and new weapons might be the best option.

Yay : Fenrir will be the new Chronos.

It could easily be done without Kratos if its focusing on a separate God of War and a new guy. Just like we're getting Mass Effect without Shepard.
I would love a God of War game with this tone. I played half of GOW1 and GOW3 and while the scenery is brilliant, I can't stand the characters and all the violence, sexual innuendo and stuff the games pushes down your throat. Yeah, it's supposed to be fucked up, but I'd want another type of approach, less in your face and more subtle.

I switched to an alt account to ditch my embarrassing tag so I could be an embarrassing Naughty Dog fanboy in peace. Ask me anything!
Judging by the nerd leaks twitter they are teasing a guy. Kratos grows a beard? Lol
@nerdleaks - It seems that "Beard" is the word. #GodofWar4

I want to destroy Thor with kratos. If they don't give me kratos I will not buy. Kratos is God of war.
Genuinely excited for GOW 4 if the rumor's true. Rune's one of my favorite games ever, so I would be very keen to play a next-gen Norse inspired game.
I bet they find the wackiest way possible to keep Kratos around. Like, he's just crawling along, wounds and all, when suddenly a portal opens and Loki, looking all majestic, utters "ah, finally found you. I have a very important job and I hear you're THE god slayer to turn to". God of War 4 will be the first in a new series of GoW games where in every game we go to a different world and fuck up different mythologies. God of War 5 will be Egypt.

And he isn't interesting. I'm not sure what the point of your response is.
Is this book dope? I may just have to get this iOS version. Doesn't look like he's selling physical version anymore.

That would be cool. Athena will be the new villain.

Kratos or no Kratos they need to switch the blades of chaos thing. That long ranging chains makes a lot of sense for accessibility but they have defined the combat design of the series for half a dozen games now.

Oh yeah, gimme a violent Valkyrie as the main protag please. I wonder how the awkward and out of place sex scenes would go though.
This looks fuking epic. I'm in!
This, can't stand him.
Norse mythology sounds really epic. Hope it's true.

Hmm. Interesting. I'll check back in an hour, last thing before bed.
And they likely knew that before, but still did it because that's what they wanted to do.
I'm sure there's going to be plenty of bitching about no Marcus Fenix in Gears of War 4, but they're still perfectly fine ditching a popular character for that game too.
Or like how Naughty Dog keeps saying Uncharted 4 is the end of Drake's run. I don't think that means there will be no more Uncharted, just no more Nathan Drake starring role Uncharted (provided they stick to their word).

Terrible first post.
Kratos IS the God of War, if this game is still called 'God of War' then Kratos will obviously be in it.
