That big troll is just a regular size enemy.
Yep lol cant wait!
Balrog one again emphasising the SSM team is also focusing on epic scale and massive boss battles as series staples 
I always thought that would be the case.
I mean the minotaurs and chimera were minions in GoW 3 and they were huge.

Environments will be very very very diverse filled with easter eggs. That demo alone is filled with them.

They have been working on it for 3-4 years and they will still need much long time.
I told you. This game must have much diversity and many details to take such amount of time.
Release date: when it's ready. Haha Blizzard inspiration.

All time fan here. I wouldn't have written off a classic GoW but I surely woulnd't be as excited as I am now. It'd be an Ascension situation: "cool, more GoW... damn Horizon looks awesome!" Instead of "shiet! One of my most anticipated titles!" Like it is now.

Glad to read such positive expectations from fans. I feel the same too.

It's interesting how the mythologies exist in parallel. I didn't think of that. To me, it seemed as if the Norse pantheon took over after Kratos demolished the Greek kingdom. But it makes sense. The pantheons are separated by geography and, I'm presuming, belief. The Norse Gods had no power over the other belief systems because the worshipers did not believe in them.
I think this could be a GREAT thing if they look into it.

they do? From interviews Cory has said the ending of GoW3 led to a series of events, and this takes place many years later
I don't think any of them particularly liked the previous games to begin with the questions are kind of general.

ive only ever played the god of war psp game and was impressed by the gameplay, its narrative wasnt too bad either.
ive just purchased the gow1/2 collection, how strong is the story in this series? on a scale of gears of war to tlou where does it fit in

Thank you. It's weird we haven't seen Jaffe's game in a while. Or have we? Was shown first Dec 2014.

You are welcome.
It seems the game will be filled with details and easter eggs and there is too much emphasis on exploration. The settings will be very varied. I can understand why they need much time.
You are welcome.
I don't know if he is making a game. He needs to embrace this gen.
Is he making a game?

Jaffe's game is Drawn Together and there was a beta for it. It's pretty neat, I especially loved the opening to the menu. You're in a classroom and get to move the camera around, google maps style, real video of class in session. It's pretty crazy.
Wow this game is sounding better and better. I wonder if more weapons will have properties like that axe.
If that kid is Thor I will totally understand it. I'm not sure if he said Thor at the start of the video. The secrecy with his name makes it seems like it's something well known.

Man, it's just so weird seeing Jaffe watch the God of War reveal, knowing he was the one who made the very first game in 2005. Eleven years later, he's sitting, having lunch and watching someone else update his character and series to THIS degree. He also has little to no reaction for the most part. So weird. But I guess that's where he's at right now.

But Jaffe said he was sick AAA development. I don't blame him at all. Think about what they go through.
If you can make a smaller game, have more control and just have a lot of fun working, I think a lot of people would choose less high profile titles.
Another thing is that people don't necessarily wanna do what do what they enjoy. You often have artists who work in genres that they don't enjoy recreationally but are just really good at. The Breaking Bad crew were talking about how in their spare time they watch a lot of comedy because its so far away from their own serious field. I think that sort of overlap is enormous.

I noticed that too. Imagine his reactions when his baby is between the hands of other parents.

This all has me paying attention to God of War again. Father-son dynamic sounds interesting.

I always thought that would be the case.
I mean the minotaurs and chimera were minions in GoW 3 and they were huge.
And cyclops too.
TBH, I never expected they would do such design for trolls. They just managed to pull the best design and look for trolls in any game even exceeding the cyclops.
based on what want it ticked every box besides one.
+Kratos returning.
+leave fixed camera behind.
+to hades with blade of chaos/athena/exile.
-aztec or Egyptian mytholgy, specifically didn't want norse.
Even though its norse... Alright i was wrong. The demo convinced me. Looks great, the character designs and setting. Barlog was so the perfect choice to legit shake up the franchise, can't wait to see more.

I'm eager to know if writers are still the same people or they got new one/s for this. Comment if you find out Gaf!
Frankly, the God of War legacy is what turns me off of this. I hate Kratos, and God of War 1 is the only game that felt like it had a real vision.
This might win me over though... assuming Kratos isn't a fucking idiot with roid rage and a distinct lack of self-awareness for the umpteenth time again...

Holy shit. You use the triggers for combat??? We Dark Souls now?
The Last of Us also uses triggers for shooting enemies. -_-
Edit:
Actually sounds amazing.

No one saw this coming. I mean, we all heard the leaks of Norse and all but we thought it was going to look like GoW3 but Norse. This was the biggest surprise of E3 easily. Just seeing how tame Kratos is, and 'bottling' up everything (according to Cory), and knowing he's going to go HULK SMASH at some point just does so much for me.
