I am confused about God of War

because it's the same character you dumb fuck

>>386751664
It's the same Kratos.

Its literally the same character.

>>386751664
Its the same Kratos as I understand.
He just kept walking after semidying and destroying a part of the world.

He just grew a beard trying to live happily ever after his anger went away.

I like how they put a big beard on him and every fucking person scratches their head over his identity

>>386751823
>>386751805
>>386751774


So is this new God of War still in the same canon/continuity of the other games?

>>386751664
GODS WHERE IS MY WIFE'S SON?

>>386751864
I still think at some point in the game he shaves and we get parts that have gameplay similar to the previous games.

if this game is in the same continuity

why is it being called a "soft reboot"?

>>386752101
Cause its a completely new world, narrative, and gameplay style.

>>386751868
Apparently so. He singlehandedly depopulated Mount Olympus, so now he's going to kill his way through another pantheon.

what did that one god in the trailer mean when he said talking to Kratos

"And here I thought your kind was suppose to be so enlightened, so much better than us"?

I was under the assumption it was a soft reboot.

I took Kratos' missing dead body at the end of God of War 3 as a 'Kratos will return' kind of thing.

>>386751868
Potentially, they're keeping a lot of stuff hidden and for good reason, but we do know it is the same Kratos, we just don't know how and why he's in the Norse area now, we know something happened.

It mentions in the Lost Pages of Norse Myth that SSM is doing that Kratos washed up on the shores after the Great Flood/God of War 3

the lost pages of norse myth says this

"ASHED UPON OUR SHORES from a distant land a world-weary ghost begins life anew."

>trying to live happily ever after his anger went away.
how the fuck this makes sense for his character?

Fucking cultural appropriation.

>>386752706
well he doesn't really have need to be angry anymore since his vengance against the olympians is complete

>>386751864
Beards and glasses are legit disguises

>>386751664
how the fuck would you come to the conclusion that he is a new character.
the most recent trailer even shows hints to his past

>>386752706
It make sense for his character, he got his revenge...
he is not mad just for being born mad, he hated the greek gods, thats all.

>>386751664
his eyes remind me of someone.

I'm just going to ignore this game and wait for them to make another sequel where Kratos is now talking on God himself and his abrahamic followers (Christians, Jews and Muslims. Can they stop him? Probably now)

If they are having him butcher the other pantheons it will be kino

That's what they were originally going to do anyway

WHERE

>>386751868
Yes look at that belly scar

>>386752276
Probably that Kratos is not unlike a savage

>>386754286
I've been waiting for that for so long

>>386752276
He meant he's too retarded to understand city-states and their cultural differences

>sequels continue until Kratos kills the rest of the gods of war, making the ending of the first game canon since he's the only one left.

>>386753993
>he is not mad just for being born mad, he hated the greek gods, thats all.
he was a warmonger all his life and only started to hate the gods after he was granted power by them
Kratos is bad and an asshole from birth, people don't change that much

>>386751664

As people have said its the same Kratos. If you remember 3 ended with a cliffhanger so back then it was pretty much left open that he was alive

But on a side note

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Norse_gods_and_goddesses

That's a lot of new gods and goddesses to kill.

Odin and Hel seem like givens unless going to the norse underworld will be for a whole new game after this one.

it's kinda crazy how full beards stopped being associated with manliness this decade.
Kratos would have looked so cool 10 years ago, but now everyone makes numale jokes

>the Norse Gods will be stupid enough to piss off the guy who destroyed the Greek Pantheon

I can't wait to see what stupid justification they come up with for this.

>>386752276
Nords BTFOing Mediterraneans.

>>386751664
Why does his skin look like it's filled with super tiny pieces of hair all over his body?

>>386752101
>why is it being called a "soft reboot"?
Nobody has called it that
>>386752276
Because while the Greeks where busy building glorious monuments of mankind and spreading civilizations the Nordic people where busy living in straw huts, being uncivilized and fucking wolfs up the ass.

People might bitch about: 'OH ANOTHER KILL-EVERTHING GAME WITH KRATOS...CAN'T SANTA MONICA DEVELOP HIM ANYMORE THAN THAT?'

People started getting a little bored after Ascension so doing the same thing again probably would've risked much less sales or it getting the 'milking' wise cracks.

>>386755114
They're the ashes of his wife and child.

>burns from chains of blades of chaos
>stomach scar from blade of olympus

the fuck do you think?

>>386754870
are you suggesting that he raped her daughter before everything?

>>386755067
Dude managed to solo through the entire Greek pantheon plus a few titans. From here there are two main possibilities
>the Norse pantheon will wise up and try not to start shit with him, but an unprecedented third party will try and cause conflict anyway
or
>Norse gods are pissing their pants at the mere thought of Kratos so they try to kill him first, which will fail hilariously and ironically causing Kratos to kill them all in retaliation

>>386755514
Well Sparta did have a tradition of fucking little boys, they probably fucked little girls as well.

>>386755629
Loki will probably stir up some shit that causes the inevitable conflict.

>>386755629

Either one of those sounds like it would be the story, with his son some how shoe-horned in because 'father son connections' is one of the themes of the game but at least he isn't useless so that's a plus.

is this the DmC of GOW games?

>>386755934
Plot twist
Loki turned himself into a woman and fucked Kratos, had his kid, then use both kratos and kid to wage ware on Asgard.

>>386752706
After the whole Pandora bullshit he realized that what he really wanted was have a family again. And he did kill the Greek gods which started the whole dead family thing anyway, so his revenge is satiated for the time being.

>>386751864
It makes the clark kent disguise actually seem plausible

Fuck off

>>386756094
The dev isn't calling the old kratos gay and shitting on the old fans, so no it isn't.

>>386755934
Loki and Kratos would probably get along. I hope they become bros and we get a good bro handshake gif out of this game.

It's not a plot twist if it sounds like something Loki would do.

>>386751664
>scandinavian country
>wife's son
Really makes you think.

>>386756664
It's confirmed it's Kratos' biological son.
Nice shitpost, though.

>>386756664
>A shitpost
>While trying to push his cuckolding fetsih
now that, that truly makes a man think.

>>386752439
Greece definitely became uninhabitable. GoW3 implied that it was the entire world, but could be retconned that it was just Greece.

>>386755067
Lack of info? They just might not know him.

>the god of war who killed gods and demons
>struggles to fighting whatever is in le skyrim land
Why does he only have an axe

>>386759082

>he literally stabbed himself with the blade of olympus at the end of GOW 3

>expecting him to have the same power as he did in the early games

>>386752706
Because we're seeing a considerable time gap after everything hit the fan to an ungodly (pun intended) degree. It makes sense to me that Kratos might finally chill the fuck out. Family was always his sensitivity anyway.
