Well obviously now we know it's Kratos, but during the trailer there were many possibilities. Some people thought the character would be a spiritual successor to Kratos. Same in design but different in name and personality. Almost like an alternate universe.
I wasn't really looking at his face haha. But yes, it was obvious he was from Sony Santa Monica. By that point, we already knew it was God of War though. I was more questioning why they needed 4 different screens/angles on the right side of the screen haha
I think It is Kratos and i think its his son Kratos looks much older he must of had a child in between stories and my hunch is Odin the norse equivilent to Zeus must know who Kratos is and what he's done and begins a hunt to kill him in fear that the norse gods may suffer the same fate
i like the fact that kratos aged and he looks more real and the time effect on him. maybe after being at peace with himself he is trying to feel havin a family again. maybe the mother died cuz we dont see her and the way kratos spoke about her at the begining well we're gonna see. and its confermed that its the same kratos many years after GOW 3 so its not a reboot which is amazing, and they say that there is a button that makes you interact with the son and those " knowledge gained " belongs to him too not kratos. the new game features, battle system, rpg elements, open world ( i guess ) , makes the game so interesting and graphicly so beatiful . im looking forward to see more
Yeah it was a little too small during the conference to see that it was actually Cory Barlog. I'm pretty sure he left Sony Santa Monica after heading up God of War 2 though. Then Stig did God of War 3, Papy did Ascension and thats when Barlog came back to SSM to lead the "reboot" of God of War.
Replaying this masterpiece currently and I come back to this reaction video every now and then and I'm loving it. Especially the fact that the commentator on the left side of the couch (sorry I don't know your names guys) immediately deduced that 1° there would be Rpg elements in the game and 2° there would be elemental attacks/mechanics is always astonishing to me. True professional right there
Ok, observations I made during the God of War gameplay demo from the E3 Sony Press Conference. That is the same Kratos from the original God of War games. He used an ability called Spartan Rage. If he was a remake of the old Kratos into a Norse world, then he would have no connection to the Spartans at all. Secondly, he is still wearing some of his spartan armor. You can see the pieces of Roman/Greek legionnaire armor along side his Norse fur and pants. That is fucking nuts. I never cared for God of War much, but the character development alone in this short demo makes me love the game already. That being said, he is still bound with the ashes of his previous family on his skin (if you didn't know anything about God of War, that is why his skin is white. He got cursed to wear the ashes of his family for all eternity, even in death). I, actually, want to play this game.
If you didn't know how kratos survived after God of war 3, when kratos had jumped off the cliff. Kratos has some of posideons possessions and so when he went into the water he was healed very quickly. And btw this is several years after God of war 3.
Yeah it does seem like the same Kratos. He has the scar on his chest and also marks from where the blades of chaos were. When he goes into Spartan rage, you can see the markings glow red. I also don't think that's his actual son. I think he's deceiving the boy and keeping a secret from him...a secret the troll was probably trying to tell him. They don't seem to know each other very well, hence him asking the boy at the beginning if his mother taught him how to hunt.
i knew they were gonna do this, after greek myths are destroyed, kratos goes to other mythologies and destroys there, all shall fall to kratos, he will fight Jesus Christ
It's 100% the same kratos, they confirmed that. I think they also mentioned how there are multiple worlds and how they are parellel to each other with different gods, or maybe I'm imagining that and maybe the world simply reformed over 1000's or millions of years and along came gods as well. That said, this is 100% the same kratos and it's a continuation, not a reimagining or anything, this is confirmed by the devs at e3. This is further evidenced by spartan rage, the fact that you can see the marks on kratos' arms from his chained weapons, the greek symbols on him, and the fact that he has the scar/wound from the sword of olympus on his body still.
Now that I think about it. That "spartan rage" system reminds me a little of Asura's wrath "Burst". Obviously there is going to be a lot more content in this one.
From what I understand, the world is set in the aftermath of the Greek gods' fall and the Nordic gods' ascension. Game play was awesome, my only complaint is that T.C. Carson is not the voice actor anymore.
I think after kratos destroyed the gods of Olympus, and the world was thrown into chaos;new gods and deities arose after an unknown number of years. Theses new 'norse' gods now govern the world/s.
What if the boy is kratos and that was kratos dad.....i think they were kind of hinting that...they said boy instead of a real name... And kratos didnt have a axe in recent games that he could use (thor powers) to chug back...he had swords and a bow....and the kid has a bow 🤔 idk just a thought but this game looks amazing 😱 day one im there
i think it will surpass the other god of wars . on another note the devs refuse to tell us his sons name so i am willing to bet one of two possibility. his son is odin or since kratos talked about a new beginning i think its possible to help forget about the past he gave him self a new name witch would be odin and his sons name is thor. the only reason they would not tell us his name is because we know these names
Loven Tidus you need to keep in mind this is a video game not a documentary. Ares is the god of war but in the game kratos became the new god of war . so of course the game makers are going to take libertys on the Norse mythology
And the arrow that he shot had electricity and didn´t seemed like something special, so maybe he is Thor´son, or Thor himself and Kratos became Odin in some point.
No I don't think he's taking on the norse gods, honestly the thing that stopped him was actually of a race that is enemies with the norse gods, I think you'll actually side with the norse gods, which will fall in line with how kratos has evolved as a personality, he's no longer the mindless raging god of war. I imagine at some point you'll kill loki though and at another point loki will manipulate you and thor into fighting each other which will end with either a tie or kratos sparing thor. The enemies will be the ice giants and others like that. Also you might actuall play as the son while kratos is only a tutorial thing, like kratos either outright dies or heads up to fight alongside the other norse gods and leaves the kid to defend for himself and grow up and then you play as the kid and age into fighting alongside the norse gods + kratos himself on screen as allies. I don't see Kratos doing the same thing to the norse gods and the norse gods haven't done anything to him. On the other hand, the enemies have plenty of strong things if they deal with ragnarok. Dragon, Fenrir Wolf, Loki, etc etc
the guy that was playing the god of war gameplay is the game director cory barlog
Solid Thivash u
sony wins this E3 because of three letters: G O W.
DAD OF BOI
B O I
3 words, 3 letters
God of war, G O W
That orchestra.... SO EPIC!
Do you know who's the composer
His name is Bear McCreary...best known for his work on The Walking Dead (TV Series).
The Level Up Network Thanks, he conducted very well and I hope he conducts the whole game score
hell yea
"I don't know if it's Kratos" "yea he hasn't said his name"
Spartan: check
Ashen white skin: check
Stab wound from the blade of Olympus: check
Fucking red obvious tattoo: CHECK
Who else would it be guys????
Well obviously now we know it's Kratos, but during the trailer there were many possibilities. Some people thought the character would be a spiritual successor to Kratos. Same in design but different in name and personality. Almost like an alternate universe.
Same kratos confirmed. It's at least 12 years after 3
Yeah, but it's nice to see that the years have changed him into a multi-dimensional character. This is a Kratos I can get behind.
fuck yea. I liked the story of GoW but now I'm fucking love it and I want to know more.
So Kratos didn't die when he drove the Blade of Olympus into himself??
+OdinsDownfall you got it fam
+Ryan Myers lol so 12 years after the death of the Greek mythological gods it magically turns into Norse mythology lol not likely.
How the fuck does noone know who the guy on the right lol knew it was God of War as soon as I saw his face. He's one of the devs from Santa Monica
I wasn't really looking at his face haha. But yes, it was obvious he was from Sony Santa Monica. By that point, we already knew it was God of War though. I was more questioning why they needed 4 different screens/angles on the right side of the screen haha
The Level Up Network True though, they could of went without 2 of them and just focused on him playing and the orchestra.
yes as a long time GoW fan i own 1-3 and Ascension just incredible to see this new progression in the series im stoked
I think It is Kratos and i think its his son Kratos looks much older he must of had a child in between stories and my hunch is Odin the norse equivilent to Zeus must know who Kratos is and what he's done and begins a hunt to kill him in fear that the norse gods may suffer the same fate
i like the fact that kratos aged and he looks more real and the time effect on him. maybe after being at peace with himself he is trying to feel havin a family again. maybe the mother died cuz we dont see her and the way kratos spoke about her at the begining well we're gonna see. and its confermed that its the same kratos many years after GOW 3 so its not a reboot which is amazing, and they say that there is a button that makes you interact with the son and those " knowledge gained " belongs to him too not kratos. the new game features, battle system, rpg elements, open world ( i guess ) , makes the game so interesting and graphicly so beatiful . im looking forward to see more
Guy on the right has been with God of War franchise since the very first. That's why he's EP of this game.
Yeah it was a little too small during the conference to see that it was actually Cory Barlog. I'm pretty sure he left Sony Santa Monica after heading up God of War 2 though. Then Stig did God of War 3, Papy did Ascension and thats when Barlog came back to SSM to lead the "reboot" of God of War.
this trailer rivals the emotional last of us opening, so gripping, so well executed, simply the best in this E3.
it rivals the last of us? it rapes the last of us front back and sideways......God of War >>>>>>.last of us
+Death by Username the dad of us
Elihu Clark-El someone had to say it.....good job now il never look at either of thes games the same way again
"hes s till a dick but compassionate" lmao

I am from sweden and now you guys have a viking subscribing to you :)
Well that's super awesome! Thanks for subbing man :)

Kratos beard vs James harden's beard. That will truly be a god of war game
Kratos will lose
kratos never lose boy
Now that I think about it. That "spartan rage" system reminds me a little of Asura's wrath "Burst". Obviously there is going to be a lot more content in this one.
Valhalla? Norse Gods?! Sweet!!!
the pinnacle of gaming, GOTY
agreed
You guys do know that that’s Cory Barlog the director of God of War
From what I understand, the world is set in the aftermath of the Greek gods' fall and the Nordic gods' ascension. Game play was awesome, my only complaint is that T.C. Carson is not the voice actor anymore.
It kinda reminds me of The Last of Us, because it's like Joey and Ellie are always together in the adventure
bruhhhhhh he called the rage meter the loading sign lmao
So annoying when they talk over the characters lines
2021
The Icestorm (GOW3) is in the axe
I think after kratos destroyed the gods of Olympus, and the world was thrown into chaos;new gods and deities arose after an unknown number of years. Theses new 'norse' gods now govern the world/s.
Dragon at da end is ALDUIN
Is not a reeboot, the history is explicated how it connects with the last game (God of War III)
Kratos had ullr's axe and the dragon was probably fafnir, norse gods
smite??
+Future Venture pretty much lol they do have norse gods and looks just like ullr's axe
+Johnny Robles it is a good hypothesis
What if the boy is kratos and that was kratos dad.....i think they were kind of hinting that...they said boy instead of a real name... And kratos didnt have a axe in recent games that he could use (thor powers) to chug back...he had swords and a bow....and the kid has a bow 🤔 idk just a thought but this game looks amazing 😱 day one im there
Kam John kratos father is Zeus and he has those tattoos in honor of his dead brother that had a weird birthmark
i think it will surpass the other god of wars . on another note the devs refuse to tell us his sons name so i am willing to bet one of two possibility. his son is odin or since kratos talked about a new beginning i think its possible to help forget about the past he gave him self a new name witch would be odin and his sons name is thor. the only reason they would not tell us his name is because we know these names
or it could be loki O.o
Loven Tidus you need to keep in mind this is a video game not a documentary. Ares is the god of war but in the game kratos became the new god of war . so of course the game makers are going to take libertys on the Norse mythology
What have they done to my beloved Kratos?!!
become older?
and wiser ?XD
well after destroying Olympus, Kratos wanted a simpler life so he grew out his beard and became a lumberjack
what have they done, really?
@@khangle6872 made him a better more fleshed out character is what they did!
maybe that dragon involves fafnir
Thats the white draymond green always got they mouth open
😂😂😂. Tbh the White Draymond Green was was the deer
AWESOMEEE
Goty 2017!
Kratos has a good beard but it can't go up against Rost from Horizon Zero Dawn, Rost is hair AND beard goals.
Lol he sounds like Mufasa yeah he kinda does
Dude I think his son is Thor!!!! Think about it....young boy has red hair... Thor has red hair.....he's the son of a God......I'm calling it
Thor is the son of Odin, kratos is taking on the Norse gods in this game.
And the arrow that he shot had electricity and didn´t seemed like something special, so maybe he is Thor´son, or Thor himself and Kratos became Odin in some point.
No I don't think he's taking on the norse gods, honestly the thing that stopped him was actually of a race that is enemies with the norse gods, I think you'll actually side with the norse gods, which will fall in line with how kratos has evolved as a personality, he's no longer the mindless raging god of war.
I imagine at some point you'll kill loki though and at another point loki will manipulate you and thor into fighting each other which will end with either a tie or kratos sparing thor.
The enemies will be the ice giants and others like that.
Also you might actuall play as the son while kratos is only a tutorial thing, like kratos either outright dies or heads up to fight alongside the other norse gods and leaves the kid to defend for himself and grow up and then you play as the kid and age into fighting alongside the norse gods + kratos himself on screen as allies.
I don't see Kratos doing the same thing to the norse gods and the norse gods haven't done anything to him. On the other hand, the enemies have plenty of strong things if they deal with ragnarok.
Dragon, Fenrir Wolf, Loki, etc etc
It's confirmed about u playing as Kratos the whole game with ur son as a support char. Also highly doubt about the son being Thor.
+TeeKay Mike if that is confirmed cool but I thought u would play as the son
Uncut camera
Point of the guy on the right is?? Lmao
Xbox better btw
