I'm actually replaying II myself right now to clean up trophies. Did you know you can stop the rage by pressing them again? I'm not sure if it's because I'm on new game+ but the meter can be used as needed which helps. I don't remember them either, but it's been years since I've played it...

The E3 Colliseum video above goes into their reasoning for choosing Norse here [https://youtu.be/khbpeMZhpHM?t=1044] as well as some commentary on mythological interpretation.

^Sounds kinda like what happened to me with Gamespot, shortly after GT went under. I tried emailing them a couple of times because my ban there seemed completely unfounded. They never got back to me, and I ain't losing sleep over it. Anyways on topic, I also want to see more AI variation...

It also looks like he'll have different abilities with the ax for larger area-of-effect attacks. If the claims of supporting up to 100 enemies on screen at a time are true, then we should be able to expect some greater crowd control mechanics - whether through weapons, camera, or both - than...

Yeah it was definitely underwhelming from a gameplay standpoint. At least they showed some climbing this time which thankfully zoomed out the camera a bit. I still think they'll have a combination of camera work that will adjust to fit to the scenario. It looked like it auto-adjusted to face...

A. My prediction is we're going to see something quite a bit different tonight than what was shown last year. They did that on purpose as was explained earlier. TLoU was quite a bit more than a walking simulator, and SMS would be a laughing stock if it was outdone by the action in that game...

Questions: Since they're sticking with God of War, how could they A. Stay true to the franchise roots B. Stay relevent and interesting from a design standpoint If they made a brand new IP ignoring God of War completely - which to me would be essential - how could they make it...

All I can really say anymore is we'll have to wait and see. There will have to be at least a few good surprises for this project to live up to even half the hype that will build, but SMS is one of the few studios that have a decent chance of pulling it off. Apparently the new engine is stated...

He practically is a (twisted) cartoon character to begin with. There is nothing realistic about a demigod, so they can make anything seem plausible within that context. We only saw a sliver of the game and they purposely chose it - "Kratos believes that being a god is a disease, and that...

In a preview/interview with Creative Director Cory Barlog, IGN revealed some new details about God of War, including the fact that the entire game is presented as a single, uninterrupted shot ? there are no load screens, cinematics, or fades to black. ...Barlog also confirmed that God of War...

How do you know...because he has a beard now? All he did was (presumably) migrate some time after GoW3. He even has items in his camp from the earlier games, like Hermes' boots. Or do you mean he's not a rage monster anymore and turned a leaf? We don't even know why he left yet, although...

I was only contrasting Ezekiel's comments about anyone still liking Kratos and the YouTube votes being "almost unanimously positive". The E3 reveal clearly resonated enough to determine they made a good call on keeping his character in the game, though of course there will still be people...

If no one likes Kratos anymore then how is there almost unanimous positive response to the new game? I seem to remember hearing a wave of cheers from the audience the moment he showed up on screen. A lot of people also said they never cared about God of War or Kratos before this latest reveal...

True, I don't know but it wouldn't be at all surprising. Those are also all movies, other than MGS2 which pulled a bait and switch tactic. It's more a testament to how good it was in general that the only significant complaint was Raiden. Plus it was only the second entry in a different era...

Another point, God of War 3 was one of the best looking games of last generation, with 2048^ texture resolutions on main models. Kratos alone was 64MB which remained in RAM while on those titans. This was done with the PS3's gimped GPU and bottlenecked architecture, due to the last minute...
