E3 2016 Kratos Sees Godhood as a Disease in God of War PS4
And the side-effect is rage
We're going to see a new side to Kratos in God of War on PlayStation 4. The angry anti-hero has been given a second chance, but he's still struggling to keep his rage under control. According to creative director Cory Barlog – who's returning to the franchise after leading development on God of War II – he sees his...
E3 2016 Lost Planet 3 Writers Penning God of War PS4's Story
Good news
We commented during Sony's E3 2016 press conference that the writing in God of War's spectacular PlayStation 4 revival seemed really strong, and now we know why: Rich Gaubert and Matt Sophos – the scripting double-act behind the surprisingly tenderly written Lost Planet 3 – are handling most of the story. Good news, then. While Lost...
E3 2016 We Came So Close to Getting an Egyptian God of War
Oh, Mummy
God of War is back, and it's looking better than we ever could have imagined. Kratos has returned, but this time he's got a new set of Gods to deal with – all from Norse legend. "We are parsing it as the time in which the Vikings spoke of their Gods walking the Earth," creative director Cory Barlog told a panel at E3 2016, as reported by...
E3 2016 God of War PS4's Set After God of War III
Not a total reboot, then
One question we had following God of War's amazing demo during Sony's E3 2016 press conference this week is whether it's a continuation of the events that have taken place in previous games – or if it's just a complete reboot, with Kratos pulled into a different mythology. According to creative director Cory Barlog,...
E3 2016 God of War PS4 Is Not What You Expected, Looks Stunning in Gameplay Demo
The rage of a Spartan never dies
Wow, what an opener that was. Sony started its E3 2016 press conference on the front foot, dealing out a God of War PlayStation 4 gameplay demo, and it's honestly not what we expected. For a start, the property's trademark combat has seemingly been altered to a large degree, with fights now resembling an action game...
News Thor-ly Not! Sources Say God of War IV Leak Is Legit

News Everyone's Losing Their Minds Over a Norse God of War IV
But are the rumours right?
Last week's supposed God of War "leak" – where an animator listed some CG work on his resume – has brought a spate of rumours out of the woodwork, because it seems that every "industry insider" and his pet gerbil wants to talk about Sony Santa Monica's
News Urgh! Could There Be More Greek Mythology on the Way in God of War PS4?
Get lost, Kratos
We've never shied away from saying that we hope that the next God of War game, in development for the PlayStation 4, represents a serious departure for the series. Cory Barlog – the director of God of War II – was, we assumed, brought back into the fold to refresh the franchise, but a resume leak suggests that we may be...

News This God of War III Remastered PS4 Theme Is Fit for a God
ATHENA! Good work on the wallpaper
God of War III Remastered may be looking a little light on the content front compared to Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, but Sony Santa Monica's new-gen re-release is at least promising a niftier theme.

News God of War III Remastered PS4 Footage Stabs Hades in His Spiky Back
Pre-order for dynamic theme
Yeah, yeah – it's another PlayStation 4 remaster. If you haven't played God of War III before, though, it really does deserve your attention; the conclusion to Kratos' god slaughtering story really is the most violent so far. And that much is evident in this 1080p, 60 frames-per-second trailer, as we see Sony Santa...

News God of War PS4 Theme Celebrates Series' Anniversary with Discount
Half-price for one week only
Now at ten years of age, Kratos is probably a little too old to be shouting obscenities at Greek Gods – but what the heck, he wouldn't be the same ash encased anger therapy patient that we all know and love if he called it a day. Last week's God of War III Remastered announcement was supposed to celebrate the series in...

God of War III Remastered was announced for the PlayStation 4 this week, and it represented one re-release too many for owners of Sony's next-gen system. We saw a small – but fair – backlash on this very website, but there was a more hostile response elsewhere, as the title's debut...

It's looking like God of War III, arguably the best, and easily the most jaw dropping title in Sony's series, is coming to the PlayStation 4.

By the beard of Zeus
Kratos is hoping to cause carnage on a PlayStation Vita near you.
