and will be crap because it won't follow the source material properly.

I'd rather have a movie nearly word to word like in the games rather then a one where the writter is making crap up.

Just get Terrence C. Carson, put him on a massive workout/diet and let him play Kratos. Same goes for Nolan North as Drake in the Uncharted film.

SyWolf4316d ago

The beauty of modern rendering technology is that we can have Kratos and Nathan Drake in all their glory without needing an actual physical actor to play the roll. Yay for the future.

SamPao4316d ago

OK...now you go back to that site, and NOT JUST READ THE TITLE but the article and what the writers ACTUALLY said!

"Sony games, you think they'd be sacred about the origin story and all of that, but they were encouraging us to make it different from THOSE movies and if that means going in dramatic shifts, they were cool with it. And they're involved."

They never said anything about it not fallowing the source material

BitbyDeath4316d ago

So on one hand you saying they're going to go far away from the source material and the next your saying they should get a black guy to play as Kratos?
Kratos is one of the whittest people around especially when he becomes the Ghost of Sparta and before then he has golden skin.

You may as well expect the next James Bond to be asian.

Buttons4316d ago

You're implying just because his skin his white he's Caucasian? Have you seen someone so albino, you ass? Are you telling me you couldn't take Djimon Hounsou, put some white makeup on him and make him Kratos?

BitbyDeath4316d ago

Yes, that is exactly what i'm saying.
Sure they can dress him up like the movie 'White Chicks' but what's the point when it won't look like Kratos.

Kratos is a Spartan.

Heavenly King4316d ago

@buttons: Have you ever played GOW1? Kratos is Caucasian.

CalvinKlein4316d ago

who cares about the story, its not like they are butchering some amazing story with deep meaning. Its just kratos killing stuff from greek mythology.

They really seem to be pushing this forward. As long as they don't make it a PG movie.

BitbyDeath4316d ago

The guys that are making this made Saw.
I don't think we'll have a problem there.

rainslacker4316d ago

Is it just me...or am I the only one who would rather play a game to see it's story over watching it in a theater.

Please don't screw this up Sony.

God of War Needs to Redefine Kratos' Purpose Clearly and Quickly

Whatever form the next God of War game takes, it needs to be clear about what role Kratos is playing, lest the franchise lose direction.

I'm pretty sure it'd be a major mistake having Atreus as the main character in the next GoW. Seems to me like at best people tolerate him and his gameplay sections.

Ideally the story for the next game would be that Atreus has gone missing in Egypt, Kratos gets mad about it, picks up Mimir and goes on a god killing rampage.

The point of Ragnarok's ending is to show that Atreus is his own man now. Having Daddy Kratos save him in Egypt after getting himself into trouble would just undo his entire character development.

Nacho_Z117d ago (Edited 117d ago )

The point was more to do with getting Atreus out of the way rather than him being saved. Let's say he's off on his own adventures then and invent another reason for Kratos to be in Egypt.

Could be that Kratos thinks he's been captured or killed as motivation but at the close of the game it turns out Atreus has been up to his own shady shenanigans.

Lionsguard118d ago

They need to bring back the "God of War" in God of War. I was expecting to unleash hell and fury in Asgard against Thor that they really talked up in the first game but all we got was brooding middle aged dad drunk in a beer hall. Ragnarok was still "good" but I left that game expecting a lot more.

InUrFoxHole118d ago

Tried Rag... just couldn't get into it. Felt like more of the same. I would welcome a Kratos only game again.
