Lovers of the original God of War trilogy could be seeing a remaster on the way according to a rumour, making this an interesting news for franchise veterans.

    Now that we have “relatable dad Kratos” I don’t really want to go back to the original games.

      The new games I honestly think improve the originals. It makes it far more interesting than just the revenge story it was before

        Yeah I agree. Even the new ones aren’t great storywise, but Kratos being a dad is way better than the old scenario I don’t even remember.

          Wasn’t he a dad in the old ones, too? I vaguely remember something about him protecting his family or some kind of tragedy related to them.

            yes he was already a father. Ares tricked him into killing his wife and child. so his whole revenge arc spirals from that.

              Even his skin is white/gray because it’s covered in the ashes of his wife and daughter.

          Right? It humanizes the half-god. And yet I just saw earlier that that was David Jaffe’s (original creator) biggest complaint of the new Kratos.

            I was also surprised to read that. I even tried to forget who Kratos was in the first games to focus on the new ones.
