@@joaquimgianini1234 thats why you search for the trailer, not a e3 reveal. Most e3 reveal videos are just people filming them. You can find the trailers from the reveal elsewhere.
No sugarcoating, no lies, real gameplay. That's how you reveal a game. Games should not be published if they can't meet the expectations set at the reveal.
Expectations were exceeded in the actual game: - Blades of Chaos returning - Kratos recalling all of the PS2/PSP/PS3 adventures - Young Kratos as a GoW skin - God of War 2 theme in the Valhalla DLC + BONUS Atreus finally leaving Kratos at the end of the game xd That's the moment that many people waited for as well.

I play trombone and l can imagine how it is to play a piece that evokes as much power as the GOW theme. I would have loved to play among that orchestra in that moment.
in this trailer the troll comes from the bridge and in the game its different. But its great because when you cross the bridge in the game, atreus actually says “i expected there to be a troll under that bridge”. Pretty clever line to add right there haha. I love the passion this games has
@@KxrbonTh30ry it's actually like talking to the player (as if he have watched the E3 GOW reveal where the troll comes out at the bridge) so the player is being ready but it didn't happen
Also another reason for it could be that we know that the world serpent fought thor in ragnorak which occurs sometime in the future and was sent back into the past before he was born by odin which may have had a cataclysmic effect throughout the realms. In the original mythology, Loki is a actually the father of the World Serpent as well, which is why the World Serpent seems to recognize who Atreus is. And so Atreus instinctually felt that a troll would be there because he had been there before without even knowing it. To add on to that, there is a mural at the end of the game when they are in Jotunheim, which shows Kratos dying in Atreus’s arms which shows a snake coming out from the mouth of Atreus which could be how the world serpent was born
Dai Funka I believe so, since the world serpent from the future was sent back in time to before he was born, so it would make sense if the the world serpent from the future meets the version of himself from when he is eventually born by coming out of Loki’s mouth

__ __ God of War is very story driven, rather than combat driven. The option is there for those want want the difficulty, but in mind, it's a game to be savored and enjoyed, but not a game to overly challenge the player. It's much more exploration driven as well.

When? During conversations during gameplay? It wouldn't surprise me, I've been playing this game since January 2019 and never stopped playing and keep finding something new.
I just love this, the moment they see Kratos, EVERYONE freaks out. You can hear the joy and love they all have for this series. Games bring people together, more than we realise
11/9/2022.... Our lives will be changed forever... (Edit) Wow 20k likes!! Thanks everyone!! This game still has shaken the core of the gaming world whether you agree or not. Happy gaming everyone!
@@Samconery Elden ring has nothing in comparison than this, I bought that last month put 3 hours in and just wasn't living up to the hype. The graphics on the other hand are garbage compared and the story line. Just dead game literally. But just my opinion
I LOVE the energy of this crowd. The energy started high, and only got higher. Also shout out to the one guy who absolutely SNIPED it when he saw atreus and said "oh shit God of War 4?" Dunno how you knew, but gg
I got the Platinum trophy last night and I feel such a sense of loss because I just wanted to stay in that world forever. I never got all the trophies in the 2018 game so I wanted to make up for that. I don’t know what’s next for Kratos but I will definitely be playing it.
One of the best if not the best Soft Reboot in the history of Gaming, hands down a Masterpiece for the Ages, the Team at SANTA MONICA and Cory Barlog have created a game that will be remembered as the most polished and one of the most beautiful game ever made, this is way i play games!. Its good to See the good side of Kratos for once. Know fire up that Playstation 4..........BOY!!!!
@@marcelcostache2504 GoW4 has probably set the standard for becoming one of the greatest games ever at an all time high. Not to mention Santa Monica Studios and Cory Barlog, the next game will undoubtedly be next big thing, for better or for worse.
@@christophermatthews7914 storyline whise this game its a mastarpeace, and the game has a level of polish i have never seen in a video game. This is very close to perfection
That shows why he is the best game director for the job. Not only was he involved in the beginning, but he's still humble about it, rather than being cocky about his accomplishments. He directs like he still has something to prove, even though he's created some of the greatest games ever. I can't wait for Ragnarök, it actually comes out on my birthday. So I think I'm gonna be "sick" the next 2 weeks after release.
I would be nervous too. Taking Kratos into a brand new mythology was a huge risk. It had to be amazing to work, and it was. Creators are often, even in the face of amazing work, their biggest critics and wonder if the public will love it as much as they do.
@@Kratosx23 yeah Cory is great. 2-3 months ago when the game was near finished the whole team and Cory weren't satisfied they were scared and said that the game wasn't ready and what they were going to do. They questioned if they were going to make Ragnorak long or not but they decided to make it one whole game. And now they accomplished what they set out to do and showed the world how to do a sequel correctly
Imagine played the original god of war as a teenager and attend an E3 reboot demo after becoming a dad. What an unmatched experience for a "father" who used to be a "boy".
I was about 8 when I finished the last god of war, I attended the E3 at 16, I remember sitting ion the front almost crying I was so happy, first game I ever played
Are you not aware these games were literally PLAYED live? They had a PS4 and monitor set up in a booth or whatever they're called, up high on the side. Cory Barlog, who directed God Of War, was playing the demo. If you watch the God Of War E3 2016 live gameplay demo, on here, it shows him playing on the right of the screen, and shows his hands on the controller, so people knew it was legit gameplay. There was also a bunch of the game's developers in the audience, and they all said they did not expect the crowd to react like that.
@@cmcproductions26 what does that have to do with anything? I'm talking about the cutscene not the gameplay. Have you been to the movies where an actor says a joke and there's a small bit of silence since they know the crowd will laugh. After years do you really think the crowd was gonna stay quiet after seeing kratos?
@@1Guason3 Jeesh. Calm down fella. No need to get so defensive. I was merely stating a fact. I thought you meant right when the gameplay starts, and Kratos stays still for a few seconds, before beginning to walk. Not when he paused for a couple seconds, after saying "I am hungry"
Avratin it actually there's a lot of diff between reveal and retail, and all for the better. Colors look more vibrant, story is more complex than seen from reveal, and even the playing mechanics changed so yeah a lot changed and for the better.
I know it ain’t the same at all and I don’t know if that’s true or not but i heard something about that they’ll make a god of war comic book or something that fills the gap between 3 and 4 . Like what happened after killing zeus and how kratos traveled to midgard
@Dionysian Beast nah bro. they got everything only things are gameplay and level design. vory said that he already wrote the story of the second game while directing the first one. and the engine is set and ready to be used. it only needs to be upgraded to ps5
It's funny because before this was shown, everyone saw GoW as a dead franchise. Kratos as a lost character. Most thought if they did continue the franchise the character would have to be replaced. Then this happened. Then the Game of the Year happened. Man what a job Santa Monica did. Truly one of the most awe inspiring games I have EVER played. Commendable. Even having played the game multiple times already. Can't help but smile wide at these reactions. Gotta love the dude in the back saying " none of that is real " lmao. You know you have created greatness when it is all so good people think it has to be fake
Aaron H Never played Ascension but I believe that was when people lost hope in GOW. Quickly did Santa Monica pick up after their mistakes. Truly, a praiseworthy gaming studio full of passion and love for their games. The attention to detail, character development, visual graphics, soundtrack, lore, gameplay, and most of all, THE PAYOFFS 💯❤️🔥
Actually I had my mind made up after GoW 3 and even though it was really great I was sure not to play another God of War if the Gameplay/Fighting would be the same again. I've had enough of this iso perspectiv combo fight stuff. Then that happen. Man did I enjoy ripping Sigrun into pieces
@@AsianEyes007 People didnt hate the game but it was never considered a insane AAA game tier. It was always a fun hack and slash with a good story.(And after 3 nobody saw how they could do the same formula again) Nobody expected them to go 180 and make the most insane game ever in every aspect.
Who came here after The Game Awards, after God of War become Game of The Year 2018?? Edit: Wow, this is my first time hitting up to 1k9 react here. Thank you for your support, guys! Definitely can't wait until the release of God of War Ragnarok.
It is not possible that a game reveal which it was posted almost 6 years ago about a game that I completed like 7 times is still giving me chills. It shows how AMAZING God Of War is. Thank you Sony, God bless you Santa Monica Studios ❤️.
Slasher744 it’s a little much. I love this game and appreciate the work of art it is. But these guys are overdoing it by mindlessly screaming over and over. I could see these idiots ruining the reveal for others that are even bigger fans.
I love that the SECOND one guy heard "BOY," he went "omg this is god of war 4." It's so amazing to hear everyone flip their entire shit for 15 minutes straight. Whenever I'm sad or depressed, I constantly come back to this video to hear my people scream and cry for Kratos' reveal.
I am hardcore PC gamer and I have never owned a Play Station or any console in my life, but I played the Orignal God of War games for the first time in 2020 on a friend's PS 3 and then GOW 2018 on another friends PS4, but I am proud to announce that for the first time in my entire life, I bought the PS5 console just to play God of War Ragnarock, and I have no regrets !!
All those people who were screaming for joy when they saw Kratos obviously were big fans of the the originals, too think that now days this is the only God Of War game most people have played or there First. That’s crazy man time really flies. I grew up playing God Of War 2 on PS2. ❤️🔥
i loved the game, but i wish they kept some on the things in this trailer, like the axe making enemies stuck to the wall. you could only knock enemies into the wall after freezing them with the axe, and i think that was only on GOW difficulty. i cant wait to see what they do for the next god of war
Every son goes through trying to make his father proud. This game really hit that home with me. When I was younger I was always afraid I would disappoint my dad, now he and I are the best of friends.
I've never really played a God of War game before, so I don't have the emotional connection to it that a lot of people do. That being said, the fans' reaction to Kratos stepping out of the shadows never fails to put a smile on my face.
Cheese4G you can jump into the new game since it’s fairly self contained but I’d recommend watching a UA-cam recap of main story points of previous game to get a feel for the journey and evolution of Kratos
Kratos means a lot to the fans who played the trilogy...having played the original trilogy, and now playing this one...it just hits you so damn hard to see him again...
the series is really great.... but this last one, is an absolute masterpiece of gaming and storytelling. its def GOTY and one of the best games ever created this gen, and last gen
AC Valhalla: Odin is with us
Kratos: Not for long

@@trmbne - Is there a competition going on to see who can write the dumbest comment here? It's classical because it has a conducter, timpani, a chior, a strings section, a brass section and a woodwind section.
Everything about it is classical. What the hell do you think it is? Reggae?
Dude I’ve never notice that when Kratos gets pissed at Atreus his Spartan Rage meter flashes then lowers as he calms himself.
I just noticed too!
When? During conversations during gameplay? It wouldn't surprise me, I've been playing this game since January 2019 and never stopped playing and keep finding something new.
thespanishdutchman Starts at about 7:15 when he yells at Atreus. Check the top left corner of the screen. 👍
@@hanleal2001 oooooooooooh that, never noticed, little detail they left out in the final built.

just finished Ragnarok and came back to watch this. still gives me goosebumps
So awesome I remember watching e3 and screaming 😂
Same here bro, same goosebumps as the first time. What a great series.

I got the Platinum trophy last night and I feel such a sense of loss because I just wanted to stay in that world forever. I never got all the trophies in the 2018 game so I wanted to make up for that. I don’t know what’s next for Kratos but I will definitely be playing it.
@@ValiantPixel Agreed.
Who's here in 2019? Spine chilling when you see Kratos in the doorway
One of the best if not the best Soft Reboot in the history of Gaming, hands down a Masterpiece for the Ages, the Team at SANTA MONICA and Cory Barlog have created a game that will be remembered as the most polished and one of the most beautiful game ever made, this is way i play games!.
Its good to See the good side of Kratos for once.
Know fire up that Playstation 4..........BOY!!!!
@@marcelcostache2504 GoW4 has probably set the standard for becoming one of the greatest games ever at an all time high. Not to mention Santa Monica Studios and Cory Barlog, the next game will undoubtedly be next big thing, for better or for worse.

@@christophermatthews7914 storyline whise this game its a mastarpeace, and the game has a level of polish i have never seen in a video game.
This is very close to perfection
I used to play god of war on the psp i loved it
“Do not be sorry, be better”-Full Circle
Cory Barlog was nervous out of his mind right before this reveal, little did he know, the fans were all behind him with this game.
That shows why he is the best game director for the job. Not only was he involved in the beginning, but he's still humble about it, rather than being cocky about his accomplishments. He directs like he still has something to prove, even though he's created some of the greatest games ever. I can't wait for Ragnarök, it actually comes out on my birthday. So I think I'm gonna be "sick" the next 2 weeks after release.
I would be nervous too. Taking Kratos into a brand new mythology was a huge risk. It had to be amazing to work, and it was. Creators are often, even in the face of amazing work, their biggest critics and wonder if the public will love it as much as they do.
@@Kratosx23 yeah Cory is great. 2-3 months ago when the game was near finished the whole team and Cory weren't satisfied they were scared and said that the game wasn't ready and what they were going to do. They questioned if they were going to make Ragnorak long or not but they decided to make it one whole game. And now they accomplished what they set out to do and showed the world how to do a sequel correctly
Literally
@@johnnycoolguy9554 sickness arrived??
2018 was a golden year for gaming. Red Dead 2, God of War 4, and Spider-Man all in the same year. Untouchable
Far cry 5, detroit bacome human and many other games
2004 says hi.
mainly for playstation too, most of the games that were top-tier in 2018 were made by sony
2011 was a good year for gaming too. Gears of War 3, Arkham City, Skyrim, and Uncharted 3 :)
Yes,but the king of the year is gow : 2018
Why am I watching this even tho I have already completed the game
travis / cuz we cant have enoug gow, we want more...
same xD
Same lol... Twice... Can't get enough
I've Completed it twice
Because it's a beautiful event to witness, even after the fact.
Imagine played the original god of war as a teenager and attend an E3 reboot demo after becoming a dad. What an unmatched experience for a "father" who used to be a "boy".
I was about 8 when I finished the last god of war, I attended the E3 at 16, I remember sitting ion the front almost crying I was so happy, first game I ever played
At 5:52 they intentionally made him be still and quiet for a few seconds because they knew the crowd were gonna go crazy.
Oh shit. Yes
Are you not aware these games were literally PLAYED live? They had a PS4 and monitor set up in a booth or whatever they're called, up high on the side. Cory Barlog, who directed God Of War, was playing the demo. If you watch the God Of War E3 2016 live gameplay demo, on here, it shows him playing on the right of the screen, and shows his hands on the controller, so people knew it was legit gameplay. There was also a bunch of the game's developers in the audience, and they all said they did not expect the crowd to react like that.
@@cmcproductions26 what does that have to do with anything? I'm talking about the cutscene not the gameplay. Have you been to the movies where an actor says a joke and there's a small bit of silence since they know the crowd will laugh. After years do you really think the crowd was gonna stay quiet after seeing kratos?
@@1Guason3 Jeesh. Calm down fella. No need to get so defensive. I was merely stating a fact. I thought you meant right when the gameplay starts, and Kratos stays still for a few seconds, before beginning to walk. Not when he paused for a couple seconds, after saying "I am hungry"

They were right
It looks much better after release
Looks pretty much the same actually. Maybe slightly better, but just barely. Obviously not 'much better'
Avratin it actually there's a lot of diff between reveal and retail, and all for the better. Colors look more vibrant, story is more complex than seen from reveal, and even the playing mechanics changed so yeah a lot changed and for the better.

I know it ain’t the same at all and I don’t know if that’s true or not but i heard something about that they’ll make a god of war comic book or something that fills the gap between 3 and 4 . Like what happened after killing zeus and how kratos traveled to midgard
@Dionysian Beast nah bro. they got everything only things are gameplay and level design. vory said that he already wrote the story of the second game while directing the first one. and the engine is set and ready to be used. it only needs to be upgraded to ps5
@Dionysian Beast not realy bro... I think 2022 will be out. Can t fuckin wait to see hiw will look the next game on ps5 4k 60 fps
It's funny because before this was shown, everyone saw GoW as a dead franchise. Kratos as a lost character. Most thought if they did continue the franchise the character would have to be replaced.
Then this happened. Then the Game of the Year happened. Man what a job Santa Monica did. Truly one of the most awe inspiring games I have EVER played.
Commendable. Even having played the game multiple times already. Can't help but smile wide at these reactions. Gotta love the dude in the back saying " none of that is real " lmao. You know you have created greatness when it is all so good people think it has to be fake
Aaron H
Never played Ascension but I believe that was when people lost hope in GOW. Quickly did Santa Monica pick up after their mistakes. Truly, a praiseworthy gaming studio full of passion and love for their games. The attention to detail, character development, visual graphics, soundtrack, lore, gameplay, and most of all, THE PAYOFFS 💯❤️🔥
you should try the previous games,they are as good or better in my opinion
Actually I had my mind made up after GoW 3 and even though it was really great I was sure not to play another God of War if the Gameplay/Fighting would be the same again. I've had enough of this iso perspectiv combo fight stuff.
Then that happen.
Man did I enjoy ripping Sigrun into pieces
They did replace the person that played Kratos but i don't mind it
@@AsianEyes007 People didnt hate the game but it was never considered a insane AAA game tier. It was always a fun hack and slash with a good story.(And after 3 nobody saw how they could do the same formula again) Nobody expected them to go 180 and make the most insane game ever in every aspect.
Who came here after The Game Awards, after God of War become Game of The Year 2018??

I've never really played a God of War game before, so I don't have the emotional connection to it that a lot of people do. That being said, the fans' reaction to Kratos stepping out of the shadows never fails to put a smile on my face.
Cheese4G you can jump into the new game since it’s fairly self contained but I’d recommend watching a UA-cam recap of main story points of previous game to get a feel for the journey and evolution of Kratos
Kratos means a lot to the fans who played the trilogy...having played the original trilogy, and now playing this one...it just hits you so damn hard to see him again...
Justin Shengo and I am one of those fans since the first game. So yes, I got the feels when Kratos revealed himself in this trailer.
the series is really great.... but this last one, is an absolute masterpiece of gaming and storytelling. its def GOTY and one of the best games ever created this gen, and last gen
After playing Ragnarok, watching this is just amazing. Would have been an experience to be there
