Thinking back on E3, this is the game that keeps coming back into my mind. It is such a bold change for the series. I really wanted a new mythology and camera for the next entry. I don't think I would have went for Norse or a camera so close behind the back, but I like both now that I have seen them.
The story changes are the ones I wouldn't have expected. I've never been a Kratos fan, but I'm really interested in seeing his journey now. I love all the little teases of things this game might bring in the demo, many of which have been talked about in this thread. I'm already imagining how things like the dragon or serpent and some of the other Norse mythological figures might play into this game. Then there is all the discussion on the son and who his mother might be.
I did initially wonder how things like platforming and large-scale boss fights/setpieces would work with the new perspective. I can see how it works for combat, but those I worried about initially. But after hearing Cory talk and him assuring us those things will all be in this game, I was sold.
If I were laying down bets on which game would turn out to be the best at E3, I may pick something else because I still don't know exactly how all of this will come together. But if I am picking the game that excited me the most, the one that has stuck in my mind the most, I'd go with God of War. I can't wait to see what else this game has in store for us.
