I'd still prefer something like this:
Kratos is dead.
The first half of the game, as a member of a cult, you vist ancient ruins of previous games (twist - few thousands years past GoW 3) in order to ressurect the suicidal God. Gameplay: GoW (combat, puzzles) + tomb raider (exploration, puzzles) +futuristic gadgets (novelty).
As you fulfill the objective and ressurect Him, everythig goes berserk. Basically, Kratos starts armageddon and commences total annihilation of civilization. Your task is now to stop it. The locales swith to modern, futuristic cities (Fifth Element type et cetera), as you set off to fight different forms of Kratos around the globe.
Amirite?
