Yeah.

If they start mixing mythologies, that's gonna be dumb. I won't really give a shit, but come on. There's no reason for there to be two gods of the sea in a single reality.

but who else can this be?

Looks like waves to me, that must be some kind of sea/water god.

There are tons of greek gods, titans, demigods, siblings, children, heros etc that haven't been used in the God of War universe.[/QUOTE]

Oh nice find.

I thought the single player looked a bit bland and low key up until now. Good to see that we will be getting one last "epic" God of War game before it retires.

I don't think comparing Gow with DMC/Bayo is fair. I consider them different genres within the action game portfolio. Gow is more comparable to Darksiders and Los than games like DMC and NG

Darksiders' combat is a lot more like DMC than GOW though.

What's the story behind the Furies, the two I've seen now are pale, deformed humans.
Click to expand...

The Furies are the main antagonists in God of War: Ascension, as they hunt Kratos for 'betraying' Ares.

In Greek mythology they are chthonic deities of vengeance created when Cronos castrated his father Ouranus and threw his genitalia into the sea, the Furies emerged from the drops of blood. There were 3 sisters: Alecto, Megaera and Tisiphone. Alecto was charged with punishing those who committed moral crimes as anger, especially when used against others, she was the goddess of Anger. Megaera was the goddess of Jealousy; she punishs those who have commit crimes as cheating and adultery. Tisiphone was the third sister and the goddess of Vengeance, punishing those who have committed the crimes of murder: Patricide (killing leaders or your father), Fratricide (killing your brother) and homicide.

Created from the madness and rage of a war that was waged between The Primordial's (creators of the universe), the Furies were tasked to punish the wicked. All three sisters sport different appearances and different techniques of movement. Kratos is punished by the Furies for betraying Ares. They were revealed in the Furies Trailer but only one of the sisters, Megaera, has been shown. She's dressed like an amazon and having Roman Helmet with a plume like a mohawk. Huge spider legs sprout from the middle of her back and are several times larger than herself, which she can use to stab her enemies or even those who simply stand in her way. Megaera can also release a swarm of parasites from a diseased looking rash on her chest that bury into the skin of her enemies, possessing them into fighting for her.

Hopefully they change their style of material shaders. I want something different from the made of clay visual direction.
Click to expand...
I hope they don't do that. It makes the games look unique, and it goes with the period, because in my mind the period is tied to various claymation monsters etc that we had in the old movies.

Looks beautiful. For those saying it's the same old shit, have you played the game yet? Combat feels a lot more satisfying in this one and it's a lot smoother. Playing the GOW Collections made it that much more apparent too. Not to mention, why wouldn't a GOW game play like a GOW game just because YOU are tired of the formula? If that's the case, COD is long overdue...

It has the best gameplay yet for the series. The multiplayer is actually a lot of fun too despite people complaining over its addition.

I wonder where the series will go on the PS4 though. Should they explore other mythologies or keep going with Kratos' stories?

I really don't think they can squeeze more than one game out of Greek mythology after Ascension. Every beast or demigod that's left by now is some kind of puny c-list crap. Practically all the major players have appeared in the series.
I'd like to see some other gods and monsters - in CoO, there was this persian (?) king, with his basilisc, and the flame thing he could conjure. In Ascension, we have an elephant man, which also seems to be more of an oriental beast.
But stick with Kratos please, no new heroes.

Of course, a reboot is not out of the question, since those are all the rage now. :lol

Just make it so Loki uses magic to drag kratos into Asgard. First battle is against heimdall at the bifrost.

Kratos finds out Loki has the power to resurrect his family and so battles across Asgard killing Thor with his own hammer and odin ect.

Gets to Loki forces him to bring back his his wife and kid. The moment they are brought back the building begins to crumble and another portal opens. Osiris the egyption god of death decides that kratos has done wrong by resurrecting the dead. He steals the wife and child and jumps back in to portal. Kratos enraged follows.

Responses here amuse me because much of the same was said of GOW III which ultimately was nowhere near as fun as GOW II. Or Ghost of Sparta. Getting hyped from screenshots is so amateur.

Yeah, GOW2 and GOS (thank god for the PSP port to PS3) are the absolute peak of the series for me. The other 3, while entertaining rides, don't come close for me.

It will be interesting to see if my opinion changes at all when I eventually do a full series replay though.

The peaks in Gow3 were the best in the series for me...but there were some pretty tedious stages as well.
