I can’t see them going through all that character development for Kratos only to go back and shoehorn in another Greece adventure. That’s when the franchise started to get fatigued.

I can see them doing a remake or remaster, maybe even flashback levels but a completely new game…

I’m hoping we keep going forward and the Kratos we have now goes to Egypt.

Sciurus_vulgaris83d ago

A prequel from before Kratos got his ashes could be explored. But the story would likely revolve around an angry, warmonger slaughtering both enemies and innocents.

Cacabunga83d ago

I think Kratos fits best in Greece. I hope this is true. they can also consider Demos and tell some more about him in Greece.

While I really like the newer GOW games, I have to admit I miss the level of violence that the other games (GOW 3 for example) had. I hope they go back to that.

Hate to admit it but I think this is their way of “woke-ing” Greek kratos. Think about it. When they released god of war remaster the media scored it lower because his character didn’t age well to today’s standards. Even went beyond to call Greek kratos a misogynist lmao

victorMaje83d ago

Flashbacks is what I thought after reading that title.
I’d like to see Kratos & Freya in sthg like Egypt, or maybe Sumeria (Gilgamesh & Enkidu).

-Foxtrot83d ago

Yeah I really want to see Kratos and Freyas relationship continue, their character development for themselves and between each other has been fantastic.

victorMaje83d ago

@Foxtrot
Agreed, by the end of Ragnarok I was really done with Atreus but wanted to see more of the Kratos-Freya dynamic.

porkChop82d ago

Yeah this isn't a good idea. I think if they were to do something like a Netflix anime it would be a really good premise for the first season. But the games themselves need to move forward. We can't just go back to Greece after opening up that world to new mythologies.

GoW without kratos is uncharted without Drake, crash bandicoot without Crash bandicoot, tomb raider without Lara croft, halo without master chief, Jersey devil without jersey devil, gex without gex, hitman without agent 47 etc. I won't even buy it.

wait... what happened to the Egyptian saga, that was reported a week ago?

RaidenBlack83d ago (Edited 83d ago )

The Greece prequel should be a current-gen only one-off.
After which the GoW team should focus on continuing after Ragnarok.
(I am more interested in Barlog's sci fi project anyways from Santa Monica.)
Anyways, GoW got me thinking, 'Heavenly Sword'. The PS3 God of War-esque. A sequel was planned but later scrapped. Now that companies are sorta collaborating a bit more. Higher ups can decide on reviving the IP. Sony has the license, Ninja Theory needs work, both MS and Sony can benefit (would be multiplat).

isarai83d ago

I mean technically there's nothing stopping it from being both being the bridge between the third game and the fourth starting in Greece transitioning through Egypt etc

jznrpg83d ago

I am fine with that but we will see. There could be a couple games in the works plus Barlogs game.

Ex-PlayStation Boss Shuhei Yoshida Pushed for God of War Reboot Delay

Former PlayStation Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida saw God of War as a "problem" when he first played it, and advocated for its delay.

gold_drake23d ago

yea, its also mentioned in the documentary they did about it.

isarai23d ago

Ye, it just wasn't up to their standards, nothing wrong with that imo

Goodguy0123d ago

And it became one of my most favorite games of all time and I still like it more than the sequel.

goken23d ago

Well if a game/movie/project needs fixing, especially something with the legacy that god of war does. Delay and fix it, don’t ruin the legacy by releasing crap.

Babadook723d ago

Way to go.

Like Miyamoto famously said.

“A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad.”

Where's the remaster/port of the Greek Saga?

micdagoat1938d ago

On PS3? they "remaster" games that are barely 5 years old. We can't even play the ones from PS3 natively right now on a PS5

micdagoat1938d ago

Sony has been so quiet about that its annoying. I have no idea why they wouldn't

spicelicka38d ago

As much as I love the new God of war saga, I really miss the scale and epic set pieces of the OG games :/

SonyStyled38d ago

Thank you Mr. Jaffe. Few franchises stay relevant for 20 years. Thank you Stig, and Corey too
