The rumor doesn't really say Kratos would be in 4. Just that it will follow Norse Mythology.

Yeah it's the thread title that misled me.

Yes, it's lies.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Around the Network

Two things:

I want to see someone beat Thor into paste and take his hammer

And I want to see a hot Sif or Hela.



I would rather Shinto vs Norse.

I don't dislike Kratos, I just think the combat system with his weapons has gotten stale after so many games. Hopefully the combat is different and fresh. I don't want the same game again on a different map.

Same. God of war is one of my all time favorite franchises, but after Ascension I cann finally say that this was enough for Kratos. Time to bring a new god slaying badass :D



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

I don't like Kratos so I hope it's someone else as the main character.

This is what I hope as well. Something fresh. I wouldn't mind a new IP but I see why they'd continue the God of War saga. It's not like Jak & Daxter where it wouldn't make sense changing the protagonists in Jak & Daxter 4.

Hack and slash as a genre is not as popular as in the past and establishing a new popular hack and slash IP could prove quite difficult. Santa Monica's main team spends large amount of money so naturally they have to strive for multimillion sales.

There are many potentially great mythological stories to be told and I'd very likely be interested in a God of War 4 with fresh mechanics, a new protagonist and a new setiing.



Kratos is Sony's most popular character by light-years, he isn't going anywhere and Sony isn't stupid enough to listen to a few softies screaming for change on the internet. People need to drop that stupid idea.

God of War: Ascension was pretty shit, doesn't mean GoW needs to drop Kratos and completely reboot the series.

I'd prefer Egyptian mythology but Norse is good too, looking forward to the official reveal.

I'd say Nathan Drake is more popular than Kratos. Much more likeable as well.



Signature goes here!

I would love to kick Thor, Odin and Loki there arses. Whether my boy refers to Kratos remains to be seen, but it seems likely.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

I think there's a lot of potential in a game based on Norse mythology, but I hope they come up with a new main character. Kratos has lost a lot his appeal over the years, and I think he would feel very out of place in the Norse setting.
