This interview is very worth watching until the very end:

He brought the people back who worked on the original God of War.
Damn, thanks for sharing, man! Great interview, really informative.
I like that we get to choose what kind of arrow the boy will be using, that's pretty cool. This kind of reinforces my idea that the lightning came from the bow/arrow, and not the boy's "demigod" powers or whatever.
I'm really curious as to how he'll divide battles like Cory mentioned, though. Like, do we get to set his behavior like you do in games like Final Fantasy or the Tales of series? Or is he always going to take on the weaker enemies? Okay, wait, actually, it makes sense for him to do that since, well, he's the weaker one.
Hmm. The axe is connected to the mother and the son. Well, the mother taught their son how to hunt, right? I wouldn't be surprised if it actually belonged to her. I'm really starting to feel like she's dead already. That, or she's left them behind. Could be that she just went on a "trip" of sorts, I suppose.
Also, he keeps saying "seven games." There have only been six, right? Three numbered titles, and three PSP titles. Minor little thing, but it's just weird that he keeps making that mistake.
Very glad to hear that they're pulling away from the vengeance theme. Please don't kill every god you meet, Kratos.
Love the troll story! I have little doubt that there will be many more "stories" like that throughout the game. Hopefully, we'll get to actually learn their stories through the game as opposed to hearing it from the developers, haha. I love it when games do this. It makes the world feel so much more alive when you put stories in the background like that, which is one of the many reasons why I love The Last of Us so much. Really, really excited to hear that there'll be a focus on exploration. I love mythologies, especially Greek and Norse, so it's exciting to know that we'll be able to explore this Norse setting, as opposed to the previous Greek setting which we just murdered our way through.
