God of War PS4 Theme Celebrates Series' Anniversary with Discount

Half-price for one week only

by Sammy Barker Wed 25th Mar 2015

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 style, but now Sony Santa Monica's followed up with a PlayStation 4 theme.

Sadly, you'll have to trade a few silver drachmas to land the dynamic wallpaper, but current conversion rates peg the entry fee at, er, $1.00. That's half-price for one week only, afterwards it will jump back up to $1.99. But what's the theme like? Well, we love the animated artwork of the Ghost of Sparta, but we always hated the series' menu sound effects, so count us out.

Seriously though, is no one going to ask about the God of War tile on the menu in that image put out by Santa Monica? Because it doesn't look like III at all.

So the icons scroll through the main character's face? Perfect.

Heck yes! I gotta get this theme! I actually have the God of War Collection with 1-3 but I'm only trying to play through the first two because the remastered version of three will be coming soon. But I wonder if they added any extra content? I only played a little bit of 3 but more content would still be nice.

It should be free, not sure why we have to pay anything for a 10th anniversary theme. PSN asks me for a minimum of $5 for purchases so I can't really get this for $1, same crap happened during the PSN sale earlier.

Lame.

The crossbar tends to cover too much of any image, here it perfectly covers Kratos' face. They should get rid of it or give us the ability to customize it.
