Not saying can't work, but the hint we got, as he mentioned, was that this already existing IP would both feel like something new and potentially have mixed views, and a God of War without Kratos fits both of those pretty damn well.

I don't hate Atreus, but don't like him either, for me Kratos alone or Kratos + Freya if the next game could be another Nordic game would be much preffered.

The point is, a God of War game without Kratos has the potential to let down/piss off a lot if not most of the fanbase, and definitely would be something that feel strange about the IP.

God of War is way, way more depedant on Kratos, the god of war, than Uncharted ever was on Nathan Drake.

I mean, I'm personally open to anything. But I'll admit that Kratos + Freya is another Norse game is not what I'd want. I'm not sure what's really left to tell. If it were, say, a Norse/ Greece adventure I'd be more on board. Going to Greece to fix past mistakes, but also having whatever is left of the Greek Gods potentially moutning an attack on what's left of the Norse Gods could make for an interesting story. 

But yeah, a spin-off with Atreus I think works too. Good opportunity to start exploring other smaller mythologies that they may not want to explore in a major game. I recall Egypt being a potential opton before they settled on the Nordic region. So, I would imagine that Egypt plays a role in a new Kratos title rather than an Atreus one.

Anyways... more GOW is not a bad thing depending on how it grows. But I just want the PS2 titles playable on PS5 (even as a classics), Ascension remastered, and the 2D GoW to be a Betrayal Remake. Then at least the entire canon series is available to play.

I was expecting more from Japan but it looks like Patapon sales number won't be game changer.

Easy good money for Sony because they didn't do anything other than licensing the ip lol, probably a good business for Bandai because the less than 500k is kind of their territory and they cover the rest of their business with arena anime fighters. Now let's see if the sales are good enough for Bandai to put the work in the third game, the first two were already remastered lol. I hope they do, I like Patapon so the more platinums the better.

Next one, Everybody's Golf Hot Shot.

I tried to play Patapon but couldn't get into it.

But the sales aren't surprising... but honestly... why aren't Bluepoint doing a Souls Sacrifice remake after Demon's Souls... so much potential there.
