Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Edit: no hate to this new guy i'm sure he'll do a great job, but...

-Teal'c? Help. Kree! Jump him. Give him a double Jaffa-Jaffa kick. Go on!

 

[Khold]

I liked he's performance as Old Man Kratos, but man... I'll miss TC Carson so much

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Eesh he had a bad performance in the e3 footage.

God of War - E3 2016 LiveCast | Cory Barlog and Christopher Judge Interview

Don't forget! The man with the greatest pants in the history of gaming:

 

[Jean Valjean]

They should've scrapped Kratos and introduced a new main character, if they are gonna change everything about him.

 

[Astrates]

I fucking knew he sounded familiar!

Jaffa! Kree!

I spent the entire segment trying to place it.

Your post summarises my thoughts entirely.

 

[Cuban Legend]

Indeed.

Indeed

 

[Nudull]

Yeah I'm looking at it again, and it does look a bit too light I suppose.

Could it be graying out due to age?

 

[Tiberius]

So we've got chris judge who play kratos and norman reedus with a jaffa scar, are the goa'uld taking over sony ?

 

[Raylan]

Eesh he had a bad performance in the e3 footage.

Performance in the E3 vid was great, imo.

 

[eFKac]

He was fantastic in the E3 demo, can't wait to hear more.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Strange how much of a different direction they're going, but I was never invested in this series anyway. I can understand anyone being upset, though personally I thought he was quite good in the presentation segment.

Performance in the E3 vid was great, imo.

Same, I don't know if they do the VA first and then the animation or vice versa, but it was a good match between the voice and animated acting. Sold the middling dialog well.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Even the texture is more in common with Eastern European/Caucasian men.

And hair tends to grey out, not turn light brown.

 

[LiK]

What's with some of the comments here? I hope they're joke posts. Kratos is a white Greek guy. He just happens to have a black VA.

 

[Memory]

Picked it up earlier, so awesome, love his work. Never been a GOW fan but I'm all in on this one.

 

[Yazuka]

So that's why it sounded so familiar. Had been watching X-men Evolution a few days before this. He voices Magneto in that show.

Kratos is not white, dude!

 

[Jean Valjean]

Second black guy to play a white guy

Well, it's the same "white guy".

Waits until someone says that Kratos, being Greek, is not white.

 

[BrianRoyale]

Sweet! Makes me wanna go watch all of Stargate again.

 

[lightskintwin]

Game should just have Greek VA as the default anyways.

Spoiler

One day we will have our time in the sun again.

Not gon' lie. The Greek sounded good. I would play it with that language and English subtitles.

 

[GIANKRATOS]

Kratos is nor Black or White, he is Greek, mediterranean.

 

[Memento]

Great choice. Kratos sounds just right.

 

[NumberThree]

Indeed

Damn, dude said indeed quite a few times.

 

[lightskintwin]

Kratos is nor Black or White, he is Greek, mediterranean.

In America, you're either or.... Pick a side? Better yet, the Whites have already claimed you as a cornerstone to Western Civilization. You ain't got a choice. LOL

 

[spindashing]

Mind blown, holy shit.

 

[nOoblet16]

Indeed, I thought I recognised the voice.

If you think this means Kratos will be calm then you're wrong because,
Things will not calm down, Daniel Jackson. They will, in fact, calm up.

Undomesticated equines could not remove him.

 

[nOoblet16]

Well we've had Claudia Black as Chloe in Uncharted, Now Christopher Judge as Kratos
Just need Michael Shanks, Amanda Tapping and Richard Dean-Anderson now lol

Richard Dean Anderson as MacGyver Ryder in Mass Effect Andromeda !
Indeed.

 

[bishoptl]

Teal'c from Stargate? You mean D-Mob from the Def Jam games.

Came for this. Thank you.

 

[BacklashWave534]

Being that I've watched SG1 at least 8 times through I'm quite happy with this casting choice.

 

[Transistor]

Undomesticated equines could not remove him.

In my culture, I would be well within my rights to dismember you.

 

[LiK]

Kratos is not white, dude!

His biological brother is much paler. His biological daughter was also white. C'mon guys.

 

[Zakard]

His new voice sounded great. Alot more nuanced, but to be fair Terrence C. Carson had not alot of material to shine besides as an angry god of war.

 

[nOoblet16]

So is this really the adventures of Teal'c and Rya'c with a GoW coat of paint?

Whoa!! That was him!?!

 

[Bishop89]

guy is jacked!

It still feels weird seeing him without that damn symbol on his forehead lol I grew up with him so it was definitely weird first seeing him without it, and with hair lol

Wait until you have a blast from the past and see him in an episode of McGyver

False god. Dead false god.

My depth is immaterial to this conversation.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

And yet, knowing what Apophis did to Sha're, would you not trade it all for the opportunity to crush the life from his throat with your bare hands?

 

[Bishop89]

Ive seen this circulated so much in the past week lol

 

[TheOMan]

Indeed.

Underrated post.

Proper SG1 game when?

You have my sword!

 

[Kinyou]

A bit sad to see Carson go. Judge is a great replacement, but when a long established voice actor gets replaced it just feels a little wrong. Hope the split up was friendly.

Let's see if we see any salty posts from him ala MGSV x Hayter

I can agree with this, but it really sounded like Christopher Judge captured an older Kratos perfectly.

 

[m_dorian]

Good choice. Great actor. I like his voice.

As for the color, i am Greek but after a week under the summer sun, i really can't call myself white lol. Imagine the people of the archaic era, farmers, soldiers, sailors spending their whole life under the sun.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

I can agree with this, but it really sounded like Christopher Judge captured an older Kratos perfectly.

Plus the relationship between Kratos and his son seems similar to that between Teal'c and his son Rya'c.

 

[Bowdz]

I knew it the second he spoke in the trailer. I've been binging Stargate SG-1 for the 100th time.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

If it looked grey, that would be fine. It looks overly brown to me

Not gon' lie. The Greek sounded good. I would play it with that language and English subtitles.

The VA can be a little goofy in places, but yeah I'd rather play with the Greek. Here's to hoping they do another Greek dub for this game.
