in this trailer the troll comes from the bridge and in the game its different. But its great because when you cross the bridge in the game, atreus actually says “i expected there to be a troll under that bridge”. Pretty clever line to add right there haha. I love the passion this games has

[@KxrbonTh30ry]

Yeah its like atreus went into the past and future

[@anashasan6415]

@@KxrbonTh30ry it's actually like talking to the player (as if he have watched the E3 GOW reveal where the troll comes out at the bridge) so the player is being ready but it didn't happen

[@cropgaming2923]

Also another reason for it could be that we know that the world serpent fought thor in ragnorak which occurs sometime in the future and was sent back into the past before he was born by odin which may have had a cataclysmic effect throughout the realms. In the original mythology, Loki is a actually the father of the World Serpent as well, which is why the World Serpent seems to recognize who Atreus is. And so Atreus instinctually felt that a troll would be there because he had been there before without even knowing it. To add on to that, there is a mural at the end of the game when they are in Jotunheim, which shows Kratos dying in Atreus’s arms which shows a snake coming out from the mouth of Atreus which could be how the world serpent was born

[@cropgaming2923]

Dai Funka I believe so, since the world serpent from the future was sent back in time to before he was born, so it would make sense if the the world serpent from the future meets the version of himself from when he is eventually born by coming out of Loki’s mouth

CDM_Enigma I agree. Glad to hear about others having fun with the game.

[@KungFuTayo]

I agree, I cant find anything wrong with this game besides the fact you dont get a trophy for beating it on the God Of War difficulty -_-. A lot of games dont hold my attention like this. I hate to say it, but it really lowered my expectations for red dead and last of us, which are my favorites, because of how great this was. Caught me by surprise because I didn't think much of the God Of War series. I'm sure Red Dead and especially Last Of Us will still be great games, but GOW set the bar way too high

[@liamcdm3689]

__ __ God of War is very story driven, rather than combat driven. The option is there for those want want the difficulty, but in mind, it's a game to be savored and enjoyed, but not a game to overly challenge the player. It's much more exploration driven as well.

[@liamcdm3689]

__ __ At least we know what the Game of the Year is! Unless RDR 2 and TLOU 2 somehow surpass it.

[@KungFuTayo]

CDM_Enigma I play the hardest difficulty on games because it makes me feel more accomplished when I finally beat it. Sounds corny but once you do it once, can't stop doing it. Also makes you get the most out your money. I can see Last of us challenging this game but maybe not so much for red dead.

[@cmcproductions26]

Are you not aware these games were literally PLAYED live? They had a PS4 and monitor set up in a booth or whatever they're called, up high on the side. Cory Barlog, who directed God Of War, was playing the demo. If you watch the God Of War E3 2016 live gameplay demo, on here, it shows him playing on the right of the screen, and shows his hands on the controller, so people knew it was legit gameplay. There was also a bunch of the game's developers in the audience, and they all said they did not expect the crowd to react like that.

[@1Guason3]

@@cmcproductions26 what does that have to do with anything? I'm talking about the cutscene not the gameplay. Have you been to the movies where an actor says a joke and there's a small bit of silence since they know the crowd will laugh. After years do you really think the crowd was gonna stay quiet after seeing kratos?

[@cmcproductions26]

@@1Guason3 Jeesh. Calm down fella. No need to get so defensive. I was merely stating a fact. I thought you meant right when the gameplay starts, and Kratos stays still for a few seconds, before beginning to walk. Not when he paused for a couple seconds, after saying "I am hungry"

It's funny because before this was shown, everyone saw GoW as a dead franchise. Kratos as a lost character. Most thought if they did continue the franchise the character would have to be replaced. Then this happened. Then the Game of the Year happened. Man what a job Santa Monica did. Truly one of the most awe inspiring games I have EVER played. Commendable. Even having played the game multiple times already. Can't help but smile wide at these reactions. Gotta love the dude in the back saying " none of that is real " lmao.
