So thinking about the new direction of the series I don't think its going to be about Kratos murdering the Norse pantheon. If anything I could see him having to help them or fight alongside of them against Loki, the Ice Giants, Fenrir, The Midgar Serpent and so on. Hell the last game could literally be Kratos and Son with Odin and the rest fighting in Ragnarok.
Like The Gods ask for Kratos help? hmmm maybe

very happy with the new changes , GoW is my favorite Hack & Slash franchise , and I think that the new changes will make the game even better .
loved the new kartos too

Fenrir would make a good rival character or persistent antagonist to Kratos given how they both got screwed by their respective gods and went on revenge rampages which resulted in the deaths of their respective pantheon heads. Might be a good way to get TC Carson back into the series, too.

True, no one picked up on that.

Calling it now, the sex mini game will be at or near the start of the game where Kratos' son is conceived. Then a time jump afterwards.
Also, has anyone translated the words in the opening orchestra at E3?

maybe Kratos become a celebrity among the world's mythologies because of what he did to the Olympians

He proceeds to say in the following line that it's never fun to have stuff like that leak out.
I hope you feel proud of yourself.

The game allegedly has no cuts from start to finish which should preclude time jumps and flashbacks. Maybe they'll still do them, where you open a door and suddenly you're in the past. I guess that would count as no cut.

The IGN video is the one that finally put me at ease on the massive change to the series.
Confirmed from Cory
-Kid will never be in the way of combat
-Not fully open world but much more open design
-Massive scale
-Huge bosses and the troll is just a typical enemy
-Tons of different environments
Also all the Gods of the different mythologies exist at the same time, so Norse and Egyptian already existed when Kratos was going on a rampage in Greece.

Pro's: Beard
Cons: Taking a wait and see approach. Rockin beard though
We'll see if they can pull off the father son relationship. I'm a little sceptical to be honest. I never chucked a God of War game on before because I wanted some feels. Its about the slaughtering and doing epic shit. Which there will still be plenty of according to the info above, so I'll still likely grab it either way

you can see in the E3 press conf and in the official trailer that Kratos have different combo string. a fast 4 hit combo, and another attack that are slower, you can see Kratos mixing it up to so start with fast attack followed by slow attack.

WAIT
this game already has a detailed ESRB rating!? That must mean its really close to completion. Next year for sure, maybe even early next year.

I would think most of the other God's are like,"YO that one dude just killed everyone on Mount Olympus and the Titans too! Oh thank us, he's going North"
I would actually enjoy if the sequels actually dealt with other pantheons of Gods like the Egyptian Gods realizing what a threat Kratos is and aligning with the Hindu Gods and what not to lay the smack down on Kratos but he ain't having that shit!
its possible thats what the Norse gods are doing.... when that troll grabs Kratos...maybe they are just trying to eliminate him

From where did you get the last two artworks?
I really don't see the point of you attempting to ruin the surprise of this game being about Kratos and his son. Just seems hugely dickish. I've also seen you trying to spoil further story-related stuff for this game, for no reason whatsoever.

I kinda want to at least replay GoW 3
I don't understand why they didn't at least give us a vague "2017" if that's the case. I'm expecting 2018.

Don't listen to this guy Shinobi. Just keep feeding our hungry souls with info. Sucker Punch next.
Sony probably wants to avoid what happened with Uncharted and Horizon, where they got delayed after giving a time frame.
Quite possible. Odin's Ravens were known to see the land for him and I could see them reporting back that one Ex God of War just rolled into town.

go to 4:11
Kratos still has is godly strength, despite him probably being weaker then he was in GOW 1-3...
from literally no momentum, punches a troll back like 10 feet

You don't need to do a hard cut between that to modern day; you could do a dissolve, or something which implies a lot of time moving quickly.
Or they are just trying to avoid the delay backlash by not setting a release date
I just noticed one of the toys the boy is playing with at the very beginning of the reveal looks like the Troll they fight later on, tusks and all but I can't tell what the other doll is supposed to be. Any ideas?
I also noticed that the boy has a variety of tattoos on his arm and one under his ear on his neck. Cant seem to make out what they are though, looks like runes on his arms.

Would not be the least bit surprised if the runes on the axe represent different upgrades purchased for that weapon.
