Egyptian gods are clearly the most recognizable after Greek, and it's a shame that they went for the much more used Norse, I was hoping they would finally go with the awesome ancient Egypt mythology.
What an incredible letdown. Let's hope they keep Kratos though, I don't want yet another generic white haired viking man as a main character.

Are they? The eagle head guy and the dog headed guy are more well known than Thor and Loki? The most well known Egyptian gods are the Pharroh from the 10 Commandments and Lucario.Egyptian gods are clearly the most recognizable after Greek, and it's a shame that they went for the much more used Norse, I was hoping they would finally go with the awesome ancient Egypt mythology.

Can you imagine of Santa Monica pulls a Metal Gear Solid 2? Picture this: Kratos is in all the promotional material of the game, including the demos shown to the world. The game is released, and one hour into the game, Kratos is brutally murdered, and the player gets to play as a different character, the real main character, for the rest of the game.
This series hasn't been milked as much as other big franchise, but I really do think that it needs a major shakeup. God of War 2 was a solid sequel to the first one, and many people here believe it was actually the peak of series.
I did play GoW 3 or Ascension, but the series certainly started to feel stale despite the critical and commercial acclaim of GoW 3.
A new character and setting would be completely welcomed by me. Hopefully, some new mechanics can also be added to make the gameplay deeper or more fresh.
Doesn't Kratos brother have a beard?
The whole point of the series is that you're an angry dick murderer.

You realise we live in a world where DmC is a thing?
All these people wishing for no Kratos. If you think that will end well, you really haven't been paying attention to the gaming world.
Kratos is just fine.
You're welcome to your opinion just like we are welcome to ours. And if Sony wants new people to buy future GoWs they would probably do well to listen to us too.You realise we live in a world where DmC is a thing?

Oh. So that magazine cover that was posted earlier (Game Informer? Edge? I don't remember) could be GoW4... wow
Those ain't vikings

Maybe you play as an angry beard.

Is the hour up? I want more. I hope Bathory (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjpAgWLyqkI) does the soundtrack. That would get the viking bros fucking amped.

You mention DMC but that's an extreme outlier which doesn't have much to do with this. We don't want a Kratos redesign, or at least I don't. I want a completely new character and if we go into Norse mythology it probably makes more sense to start fresh.
Kratos getting killed would be nothing new. He dies in almost every GoW, but comes back.
Those ain't vikings
I dream to one day play a god of war game where I can control the camera - I hate fixed camera.
Dont care where the setting is, let me get up close to that action...
One day...
And just like that, I am incredibly interested in the game.
New hero, new setting, new gods. All I want to see.
Still really wish we could see a dev team do Hindu mythology.
Honestly I fully believe that an emo teen main character would be an improvement over Kratos and I do not say that lightly or as a joke.You think you want that, but then you get an emo teen main character wearing a beany.
Change isn't always good and in gaming it is almost always bad.
No dude he went to Valhalla because there was no Hades to go to. That's how he disappeared.GoW3 did feel a bit definitive for a change. There aren't any means for Kratos to be able to come back, and there's nothing to come back to.
Sorry to break it to you, but Quorthon (Bathory's one and only member) died in 2004.
There is Kratos, with beard;
The setting is the Norse Mythology;
Kratos will visit Alfheim, Land Of The Fairies, one of the Nine Worlds and home of the Light Elves (concepts show the Wall and the Temple Door);
Kratos will be in one or more prison;
Kratos has an Axe, with wich he can cut vines and create bridges/walkways;
The surrounding environment could interact with the character (if Kratos brushes-up against the vines, they expell visible spores).
So Uh, I'm not too educated with Norse Mythology, can someone tell me notable people in this area?
