Kratos did what he did, he has already done it, it's not about he needs to be more brutal, or he needs to have sex all the time, it's about depicting what he did when he did, for the exact reasons he had.

About the sex, it being somewhat differently presented? Sure. It being removed? No.

About the violence, as you used numbers, if it was a 10, than it should keep being a 10. Why would Kratos need to be less violent? The guy was the embodiment of violent madness.

Toning it down is indeed a disservice.

Why are people so sensible? The game will be rated in line with what it presents, so the public knows it.

Again, those things already happened, people know exactly what to expect, and games or any kind of media, having explict content is completely fine. Games like Mortal Kombat or series like Game of Thrones, they are what they are.

God of War is what it is.

It's not a documentary, it's a game. Should they keep the walk cycle from the PS2 game because that's how he walked? Should they not amend or alter any aspect of the camera, gameplay, enemy logic, world design etc? 

I'm all in support of people wanting 100% 1:1 reskins (this may be that), but if you actually want the team to have creative input then that means things will change in some ways. If a camera angle changes as and slowly pivots to Kratos as he pummels another characters face into nothing, I won't cry over it or feel like they've made him less violent.

All I will add with is that those OG games sold like 5m each, the recent incarnations have sold 4x that amount. Taking that into account alongside the fact the team is likely 90% new, I'm just open to receive their interpretation without dictating exactly how the violence and sex needs to be represented.

Not sure if it is a good example or not, but RE2 Remake has massive changes..  and it decimates the original in every way.  I am all for remaking the original trilogy, they are fantastic, but I agree, they should be given creativity in updating the games.
