The kid is marketing misdirection to sell more units to people expecting The Last of Us.
He dies during the second boss fight (about an hour into the game, basically the length of the tutorial/prologue).
This causes Kratos to become unhinged and curahzee with rage for the rest of the game.
The gameplay is also remarkably similar to the original games after this point, albeit with a closer over-the-shoulder camera viewpoint (think Darksiders).
Kratos sacrifices himself at the end at the foot of Yggdrasil to resurrect his son, but Loki meddles with the process, inserting Kratos' memories and anger into his son, signified by the kid waking up with Kratos' tattoos.

Apologize. Now. NOW!

Like wtf

It does look pretty good in that video. I'm calling bullshots though.

>dies trying to bring back the son of another man
>>
>>379588372
Won't see any traditional gameplay until the game is released. The Last of Us vibe is essential to the twist (kid dying) and the pre-release marketing is based completely around that.
>>
>>379588140
Is kratos opening a mouth that big to swallow a full size nigger dick?
>>
The cuckold mafia is getting too powerful. Even the vidya industry is being influenced by it!
>>
That's not true: the kid does die and come back, but instead of getting Kratos' memories and anger, he grows a spiky red and yellow hair and grabs a technological blue net to travel through space and time to capture monkeys
>>
>>379588495
Well that's shit because I don't care about Tlou and it's putting me off buying the game.
>>
>>379588698
The simple fact is TLoU pulled huge numbers and Sony is looking to tap into that. They know they'll get about 70-80% of God of War fans anyway, regardless of how the game is marketed.
>>
>>379588319
They put a lot of effort into this
>>
>>379588495
Fuck, that's probably it. Honestly tho I'm getting more vibes of Horizon: Zero Dawn than The Last of Us in this game
>>
What if what we saw was just a prologue and the one that dies is Kratos and you fast forward in time playing with the kid ?
>>
Ape Escape reboot. where the professor is a depressed old man and Spike is his orphan child sidekick. both fighting mutant monkeys when?

Decent twist if true I suppose.
>>
>>379588779
>They know they'll get about 70-80% of God of War fans anyway

Not after Ascension, they won't. Many fans have already abandoned the series and the few remaining now are upset over this new directions. Unless Sony managed to win over an entirely new crowd (TLoU and Souls fans), this is going to bomb.

How did he get his son back? I thought he killed his family at the start of GOW1?

They confirmed no norse mithology

Well he does fuck a lot of wbores in the games
>>
>>379589470
He never had a son
>>
I really hope so

I might be picking up a PS4 pro for the few movie experiences it has depending on how E3 goes, so if GoW isn't unplayable shit then I'd be happy
>>
>>379589470
This is the first game in an anticipated trilogy. The planned outline for the sequel is 10 years later as the son. Turns out both this game and the next will be figments of Kratos' imagination as a plot by Morpheus, with the third game returning to a mostly Greek setting as Kratos goes after Morpheus to fully escape from the dream prison he's been kept in.
>>
>>379589470
It takes place thousands of years after the 3rd game and he starts a new life.

Kratos' tattoos aren't magical, they were made as a reminder of his brother Deimos. That would be really fucking stupid if that would be the case.

>>379588297
No, we really got to figure this all out. Why are you such a faggot? This is serious.

>A New Beginning — His vengeance against the gods of Olympus far behind him, Kratos now lives as a man in the lands of Norse Gods and monsters. It is in this harsh, unforgiving world that he must fight to survive… and teach his son to do the same.
>Second Chances — As mentor and protector to a son determined to earn his respect, Kratos is faced with an unexpected opportunity to master the rage that has long defined him. Questioning the dark lineage he’s passed on to his son, he hopes to make amends for the shortcomings of his past.
>Midgard and Beyond — Set within the untamed forests, mountains, and realms of Norse lore, God of War features a distinctly new setting with its own pantheon of creatures, monsters, and gods.
>Vicious, Physical Combat — With an intimate, over-the-shoulder free camera that brings the action closer than ever, combat in God of War is up close, frenetic, and unflinching. Kratos’ axe —powerful, magic and multi-faceted – is a brutal weapon as well as a versatile tool for exploration.

Just give up GOW is gone.

Well, there are at least 3 dragons in Norse mythology (Nidhogg (or Nidhoggr), Jormungand (or Jormungandr), and Fafnir), so it they end up adding dragons at least those the are permissible.

>People expect Kratos to fight like this when he is no longer juiced up like he used to be

In the original trilogy, he was always either powered by a god or a god himself. Now he is not. That's not to say he isn't still supernaturally strong (some of that godly power had to rub off on him), just not "juggling minotaurs with impunity" tier
>>
>>379594379
tl;dr: the writers bullshitted a reason to make their game boring and "cinematic"
>>
>>379594508
How do you know the combat is boring just based on the fact that it isn't like the earlier games?

The more deliberate pace could lend itself well to the violence that the series is known for.
>>
>>379588140
GODS... GIVE BACK.... MY WIFE's.......SON!!!!!!!

Show me an official source that explicitly says the boy is not his son, or else you're just projecting your horrible fetish onto a game you haven't even seen.
>>
>>379589470
He never had a son, it's not impossible that it's his and Aphrodite's kid since they fucked.

That's that mean we play as shota in the next game? Fuck yeah!
