But heHonolulu said:He's just a demigod now. he lost his godhood in the beginning of GoW2 when he tapped all his power into the Sword of Olympus. He does however have the ability to travel back and forth in time... which might be a bit of trouble for the gods
killed Ares as a mortal
-viper- said:But he. So, Kratos is ready to kill whatever the circumstanceskilled Ares as a mortal
Well, yes and no.
He was always a demigod, without knowing so in the first game though. but he had a little bit of help for his task of killing Ares, Pandora's Box
in the most horrible fashion

When did he gain the ability to control time? In Chains of Olympus? Didn't have the time to play it yet.

At the end of GoW2.
That's how he saved the Titan's from Tartarus and how he went back in time to when Zeus stabbed him with the sword of Olympus, back to the beginning of GoW2.

The interior art for the series is also excellent.

[GeekRant]
So does anyone wonder what happens in GoW universe to the gods that Kratos kills?
I mean the way things are depicted with Kratos and Titans, they just get sent to Tartarus, which apparently isn't much of a hold-up for many
Since they're all blood related to Chronos anyway, I assume they follow the same rule, so what happens when Tartarus is packed full of all the gods (
), and there's no more Hades to keep them imprisoned.
Actually what happens to Hades when HE gets killed? :/

SPOILAR from GTTV footage
Apparently Athena appears in spirit/ghost form

I don't think the concept of Kaos according to Greek Mythology was that it was a titan, it wasn't really a deity per say even, more like the primordial soup of everything.
From which the primordial deities/entities/locations like Tartarus(real hell) and Gaia(Mother Earth) were created.... which makes it even more interesting considering what Kratos said in the first teaser trailer.
"in the end, there will be only Chaos"

so, about this Kratos power level discussion. I just realized, regarding Kratos Rage power
GoW1 - Demigod Kratos + God's gift > Ares
GoW2 - Demigod Kratos + Titan's gift > Zeus
GoW3 - Demigod Kratos + Titan's gift (may not stay for the whole game if Kratos is really attacking Titans at the end of demo) + Blade of Olmpus > everyone else
from what I read,
so, if Kratos have possession of Blade of Olympus throughout the whole games. it's pretty understandable how he's pawning Gods and Titans left and right because Zeus are pawning Titans left and right with that blade too in their last war.:lol

from what I read,
blade of olympus in GoW3 is now used specifically only during rage mode. also, if I'm not mistaken, challenge mode will be called challenge of Olympus in the same vein as GoW1 and 2 were called Challenge of the Gods and challenge of the Titan. I assume the same with what the hardest difficulty will be called.

It was my quick edit of the wikipedia listing -- most of the "Primordal Gods" or whatever it originally said were Titans, so I subbed the title in.

I've heard interview
where it's said the domain you fight Hades crumbles as you beat up Hades. so I assume when Hades died, that place is gone with him. would be one way to explain why there are no more Greek myth since they're all gone along with their gods
oh, I'm not pointing fingers.
There are a lot of weird stuff going on in Greek Mythology that i don't completely understand... It's a bit like quantum physics, something can be more than one thing at the same time. But I guess that's the norm regarding religion and why it's called fiction.
Also, Chronos(Primordial Deity/Time itself) and Cronus/Cronos(the Titan) are two completey different things.

eh, I'm sure ideas presented by creative heads will still need approval that will take marketability into consideration. it's not like Stig can demand Kratos orgy qte under 'artistic merit' and got green lighted by the producer. =P

Stig didn't even want the sex mini-game. But I understand your point.

I've been reading some pretty different and vague answer by SSM regarding what's next ofter GoW3.
-first it's about how Kratos story is done by not the franchise,
-then someone else said that they can always find a way to bring anyone back.
-then in one of the interview Stig made a remark that they need to paced GoW carefully, question whether there's a need for another GoW so soon after 3, and overall got the impression that SSM is taking a break from GoW
-now this producer int said they want to make more GoW
I got the feeling that the producer John Hight want to make more GoW, but Stig are more wary about making another GoW. I hope I'm wrong and there's no conflict brewing inside SSM

Having just played God of War 1 last Sunday, thought it was an interesting red herring when in the secrets section they talk about the fate of Chronos, and how it took a weird twist to modern era where a "new warrior" would explore the remains of Pandora's Temple.
Looks like they kind of effed up that storyline with how Chronos joined the Titans and Kratos to storm Olympus, huh?

A spiritual successor would be a good solution I think. Same genre, different setting. Try to evolve their winning gameplay formula, or tackle it from a different direction.
As seen with the cestus i.e.
I bet the Artists at Santa Monica are a wee bit tired of concepting and modeling beasts from greek mythology right now.

That's not the impression I got at all from this interview. In fact, it seems like there is a consensus that they want to continue GOW at some point, but move on to something else in the immediate future.Callibretto said:

Didn't finish it...I'm sort of getting to that now
Well I mean in the secrets of GoW it shows that Chronos dies with the temple on his back and modern day people find it.
Well....if you look at GoW3...Chronos doesn't still have a temple on his back, does he?
By the way, I saw that they tried to incorporate Atlantis into GoW2 but it never made it in due to time constraints.
Hopefully it's back in in GoW3

:lol You should really finish it. If i remember correctly they explain all that in GoW2 however i still think there are some plot holes, minor ones tho.
Edit: That pic didn't last long at all :lol
