Norse mythology is so ritch and interesting in it's own right, that I think they would really do themselves a disservice trying to fit Kratos in there.
It make it come off much more like a pallette swap, rather than an actual interesting game in it's own right.
It would be a much better idea to make this a legacy series imo.

That's a terrible idea, God Of War is one of the best franchise in all of gaming. IMO I think those who don't play GOW games should not talk about whether the series should continue or not, just like I never tell others that Mario and Zelda games should be discontinued.

 

Palette swap? You know that each game has its own distinctly different levels, puzzles, boss fights and secondary weapons? I wish people would play games in a series before commenting on them, Kratos is just one aspect of these games. He is the God Of War, but he isn't the game.

Which is exactly why he could be replaced by someone who fits better in the Norse mythology.



Signature goes here!

I am neutral on this, I'll be fine with or without Kratos, as long as they keep intact all the things that make this series so special.

That said I don't get the hatred people here have towards Kratos here, the games characterize him really well and he has plenty of reason to be angry, but they wouldn't know that if they only hate him due to his character portrayal on the internet.

Sorry but Kraots needs to be retired. I never liked him personally, pls get a new character in God of War, someone that is actually likeable would be nice too.

Why does every franchise need a "nice" protagonist? Kratos is fun to play as, his story explains his reason to be angry pretty well and the gameplay is solid, so I don't get why are people up in arms over his presence? Besides the fact he is an iconic character, something PlayStation as a brand is lacking :P

If we're JUMPING mythologies here, it doesn't make ANY sense to me to bring Kratos back. Just pick a similar character. Kratos was, essentially, made up anyway.

I had some sort of compassion for the selfdestructing/badass character that was Kratos,so much that i wanted the story to end for him. :p

and that's a bad thing? it means that sony actually cares to bring new interesting IPs (bloodborne, until dawn, wild, horizon, detroit, the last guardian, etc) and not just keep exploiting the same master chief and mario characters every time.

im neutral, i dont hate kratos but im not a fan either, im OK with him staying but if they remove him they would have to make a really cool badass character to replace him, because the guy might be an asshole but he is badassery incarnate.

I love Kratos. I'd be sad if they didn't bring him back, but i'm sure the game would still be enjoyable with somebody other than he.

Hey OP, who said ANYTHING about killing Kratos off? He's from a completely different mythology, it makes sense. If they're going Norse, he should be a Viking.
