Forums - Sony Discussion - What will be next for the God of War franchise?

Supposedly Santa Monica are moving onto a new IP after God of War III (It was a job posting hiring for a new IP or something). So if true that holds the question, who'll make another God of War?

It's a shame Sony let Ninja Theory (Heavenly Sword) as I think they've got the skills to pull something like that off, but yeah *shrug*.

My guess is they'll dive into another mythology.

prequel on ps4, maybe something bout kratos's brother, that modern day video leaves alot unanswered. who knows ithink leaving the greek mythos would be a mistake.



"even a dead god still dreams"

 

maybe it will be without kratos but the same style with a new mithology. It cant be done with kratos this is just not right. greek mythology cant be tied togethe with egyptian mythology or roman mythology.


I think it will be a new guy completly fresh similar story with another mythology I can see it happen with the roman mythology.

God of war would be Mars and instead of Zeus there would be Jupiter and the other ones Venus Apollo Ceres Neptun. It is pretty similar because it is practically based on greek gods.

Or it could happen with egyptian mythology Re Horus Osiris.

Or with germanic/nordic mythology Loki Odin Thor.


kratos cant be reused except in a prequel.

I think they will go for roman mythology because its the nearest. They wont tie them together that would make no sense.

It would be somehow cool but it just doesnt fit. They used the greek mythology without breaking the hystorical rules and if kratos would kill other gods it would make no sense.



I think he should descend through the numerous levels of Hades so he can retrieve his wife

:P



The story goes something like this.

Kratos will start playing college Hoops. He will projected to bei the first overall pick. The Minnesota Timberwolves will pass him. Kratos will then kill everyone in Minnesota, including me for being idiots. After that's done he will argue with Longhorn fans about the lose to Alabama. Texas fans will argue that they would have won the game if Colt McCoy played. Kratos will then be pissed off, and kill all the Texas fans. He will watch the Matrix reloaded, and will find Keanu Reeves acts skills amusing. He will then go to Keanu's house and threaten him. Keanu will use his emotional acting skills. Kratos will realize that Reeves acting is much worse in real life. He will pull out the blades of Olympus, but Kanye West will interrupt him. Kratos will then try to be a late night host. He will get the Job after Caron Daly. This may be around 3a.m. Jay Leno will then decide that he needs to have a real early late night show. So Jay will take the "Really Really Early Show with Kratos." Kratos will be so pissed off that he cuts Jay Leno's Chin off. Kratos will then go join Dante from DMC for a cup of blood. Kratos will be getting the last taste of blood, as he stabs Dante right in the finger. Dante will not be able to move, so Kratos will play the Matrix Revolution. Dante won't be able to handle Keanu's acting skills and will die. Kratos then has one more wanna Bee Kratos to kill. That's Bayonetta. He will act like Kanye(one step ahead of Douchebag) in front of her. She will look down at her boobs. Then Kratos pulls out his chains and rips her head off. He then goes home, and puts up the heads of people he killed in his house.

 

No spin offs please.

*a mysterious dark voice speaks* Kratos......*screen is black, but grey lines move across the screen*.....in his best role yet......*screen goes to a forested area with a slight breeze*.....is.......Cloud......*Kratos walks up to the buster sword in the ground*.....


FINAL FANTASY VII: REBORN

*screen goes to the cutscene oh Aeris' death, except.....as Rothy is coming done, Kratos chops his head off* I'LL SEE YOU IN HADES!!!!!



I would love for Santa Monica to work on a new IP similar to the GOW trilogy but instead use another civilization's history, such as the Egyptians or Romans. It would be so epic!

I think it will be about kratos's younger brother that was shown in a concept's video in GOW 1

I'd have to agree. If his brother isn't in the 3rd then this



I wish Ready At Dawn would make another GOW for PSP.

Well there's the Norse and Egyptian polytheistic mythologies they could do, but closer to home, and fairly closely related is Roman polytheistic mythology. Now that Kratos has taken down the greek pantheon the Roman Pantheon decides they can muscle in on a metaphysical power vacuum so Kratos has to fix what he's broken or see the Greek people come under the yoke of Roman tyranny.

Or Krato's son (daughter?) can step in and fix it. If it's a female relation to Kratos then we can have ultimate Bayonetta vs daughter of Kratos threads.

The Roman pantheon is the Greek pantheon, with some tweaked names.

Kratos attacking another pantheon would be a complete story-destroyer. How can there be more than one group of tyrannical individuals who rule the world? And he can't very well attack a human army after destroying a pantheon of gods, and presumably Titans, can he?

Well if you don't want to see Jupiter, Mars, Pluto etc as separate deities, then perhaps Kratos (or any surviving Gods or Titans) can get all prissy at the Romans letting other gods into the Pantheon and according them near equal status. Cybele and Mithras would make ideal gods to have to fight off as outsiders trying to usurp the rightful positions of the Titans/Olympians.

The Norse mythology it wicked too, as is the Egyptian one.
