God of War is probably the only game series where ratings gets me hyped
The horse the son kicks before he enters the hut is (I believe, although it's said to have 8 legs not 6) Sleipnir, Odin's steed; Odin being the toy he's playing with that he fights the troll with. It also appears that the version of Odin the boy is playing with is Odin Weapon Dancer which is Odin as he walked on earth and not Odin the God.
Are they Easter eggs or is it a clue that the son can't possibly be Odin?
The red hair and the lightning is a dead giveaway.

so is Odin during his "Weapon Dancer" phase a mortal?
I'm not entirely sure. He is very often referred to as a 'man'. In Norse mythology, we tend to hear tales of how the Gods once walked the earth but I believe this version of God Of War is around the time when they actually DID walk the earth. Not men as such but certainly not Gods either. I suppose we'd call them demigods.
Until I see actual gameplay footage and not kratos slowly hacking away with his tree axe on a skeleton, I'm dubious of everything they say. The exp, the ellie/elizabeth helper button, the dumb title despite it supposedly being a sequel, nothing here sounds right about GoW. Change is fine, but the DNA has been changed. Am I going to be able to grab onto a large enemy and the camera will just pan out as I press the right buttons to take it down? We went from a fps plague to a tps plague. The Last of Us was a mistake.
I know of Nifelheim as a black metal band. What's the place like though? Land of ice and fog? Sort of like...purgatory or something?
This is where the frost giants live. It's in the north and it's the coldest place of them all and yeah, it's the land of ice.
I thought that was Jotunheim? The place Thor raids in Thor 1?
Maybe I'm mistaken.
Okay those gifs in the OP changed my opinion on this game from lukewarm to hyped. I want me some norse boss fights.
Only played GoW 1 and 2, should I just do 3 beforehand or are the PSP games and Ascension worth my time?
In the trailer the camera angle shift quite often.I think it's funny that the impression is that we will be stuck in over the shoulder mode for some of the epic boss fights.
If previous God of War games are any indication, camera angles will shift and alter as the dynamics of the battle change. I never once doubted that they wouldn't have epic scale boss battles. The section they showed in that demo was just that, a singular section of the game. I think the new camera angle evokes the same kind of change we got in Resident Evil 4; a seemingly minor switch in perspective elevated the game presentation. God of War has the benefit of being produced on the latest console tech, however, so I think the results are going to be damn impressive. Maybe not a paradigm shift for action adventure games, but perhaps one for the God of War series. Not having the Blades of Chaos is, for me, an even bigger change than the camera angle. They really don't seem to be resting on their laurels and relying on franchise conventions from a base game design perspective.
.....how the hell to they have an esrb rating this early?
at least we know based on what we seen
that Kratos has a better relationship with his son
then he did with his dad

Given the deer scene I imagine we will see something very similar to this, just in a different context. ie. A mercy killing done of love rather than hate from his son.

Either they were up front about everything that will be in the game or it's a lot further along than people think......how the hell to they have an esrb rating this early?
Kratos needs to be allied with Thor......they need to have a brotherly love type relationship where they pretty much beat up each other and then go for drinks later....
Ugh, Kratos' story was justifiable (by VIDYA GAME standards at least) until the end of GoW2 -*maybe* the end of the intro to GoW3. Then It was just murder porn Kill Kill Kill Kill, fuck Aphrodite, Kill Kill Kill. I hope they redeem the franchise in this regard. Can we at least have the story make sense?
You are famous btwYeah, something like this:
^^ one of the most iconic scenes of the whole 80ies.
Haha nice.
A NeoGAF user by the name of, uh, "Bitch Pudding" … has found three potential foes lurking in the background of Kratos' snowy romp.
Yep same Kratos from GOW3 its a continuation.I'm just now getting caught up on e3 Sony announcements . Sorry if these questions have been answered already . Just excited for info since I'm just now getting caught up on Sonys new games .
Is Kratos in this new game Kratos from the previous trilogy or is this a reincarnation of that Kratos in a different mythology or universe ?
Does the kid end up tagging along the whole game ? Wasn't much of a fan of that choice . Elle was endearing in the last of us , wasn't to convinced this kid won't become grating .
Did the developers give the reasoning for the new mythology choice over not continuing the Greek mythology they set up ? Did they consider Asian , African , or their own made up mythology as well ?
Yep same Kratos from GOW3 its a continuation.
Yes the kid tag along for the whole game,but he wont get in the way.
They consider Egypt mythology before going with Norse

Actually yeah this is correct.Very cool . Thanks for answering . I'm assuming SSM is keeping under wraps how Kratos ended up in his current state . I'm a bit confused , this is still the same earth or world the previous games took place on ? So the Greek and Norse mythology's gods exist(ed) in the same space in some capacity? I guess we don't know yet haha.
Actually yeah this is correct.
Btw you should read this interview
