"Does anyone know Latin?" "Yeah I'm following along pretty closely." *song is in Nordic*

[@matthiasmartin4355]

After watching Easy Allies for a while it becomes clear that he is a bullshitter at times.

[@JonOfNoTrades]

Also, it wouldn't have even been Latin, it would have been greek. Latin was Rome, God of War was set in greece!

[@bryanvallejo2584]

@@JonOfNoTrades this one was set in Nord Mythology

[@JonOfNoTrades]

@@bryanvallejo2584 *Norse Mythology. and yes, I am aware of that. However the guy claimed to be following the 'latin' that was actually old norse. They did not know the setting had changed so they assumed it was still in Greece. However, if it had been in Greece they would have been singing in Greek, not Latin. My point was that not only was he lying about following along, but he was wrong about what language it would have been if the setting was still Greece

Compare to flute guy from E3 2018.

[@christophpoll784]

If you look closely, you can see cratos playing the violin. Badass parenting, killing gods, hurling a magic axe and playing the violin. Truly a multi talent!

[@bigbro890]

Not a single cut the whole demo. I am impressed

[@mikkelpedersen160]

They have actually revealed that there are no cuts in the entire game, from start to finish!

Correct actually

[@strawberrymilkshake4576]

But then Kratos got blessed by the Valkyries :D

[@CrazzedKor]

Damn i agree with troll

[@fuadnebir4950]

After Kratos is done , there will be no Valhalla. As always, he will be the last God standing.

[@Badsauser]

Anyone else notice that at 7:02 he starts yelling at the kid but then holds himself in check. I like that, it shows that he wants and is really trying to leave his old angry self behind.

[@sharpen193]

That's a sign of good writing

[@100dollarsz7]

Badsauser You see a dark creature going upp the tree at that part, i think its Loki( at the top of kratos head)

[@niravathu7353]

Did you notice that Kratos' rage meter builds as he shouts, then subsides as he forces himself to hold back.

[@metalmilitia89]

RBA the game came out years ago. Get off of KZbin.

[@wyattwilliams9087]

Its interesting that when they heard his voice before seeing him, they knew it was Kratos. This is the first game out of the total of 7 that Kratos was voiced by a new actor, who doesn't sound exactly like the original, yet they knew. Powerful

[@Heavenly-Drakian]

there are few characters, even in games with large people, who have such a deep echoing voice as recognizable as kratos. not to mention that the VA also controlled the voice to the specific tone to match a sort of older deeper tone that still fit with the old games and is easier to recognize

[@overtherenowaitthere]

@@Heavenly-Drakian yeah he was definitely doing an impression of the original actor probably just out of respect to the actor and the character needing to be consistent, but is still older and been through a lot of things that changed how he sounds.

[@JnEricsonx]

@@overtherenowaitthere Then you listen to him on Stargate and be like, "No, he sounded like that then too."

[@fw2345]

So the first thing Kratos said for the new trilogy was "BOY" Accurate

[@deadmanthehekatonkheire994]

It's 2021 and I'm still coming back to this reaction. Love it.

[@darthmarth87]

"Kratos with an axe!" and with that alone, Sony won haha

[@belpherith7479]

+Beerus “God of Destruction” Beerus more like the God that's about to get destroyed by Kratos.

[@istan7crackheadsbts702]

+Belpherith good one 😂

[@leonardobruce929]

now GOD OF WAR RAGNARÖK!

[@holitinne]

Less than two seconds after the theme. Everyone: “God of War...” And to be honest, its the best theme for Kratos.

[@Heavenly-Drakian]

well the dude who was the maestro was also the music choreographer for all the music on GoW 4 and he took inspiration from the originals and blended it with nordic culture to get the masterpiece soundtrack we got. that is why, even the first few beats, even of a different song can make you think of the most famous fictional god we know

[@DanCGe]

“Take me to Valhalla” LITERALLY CALLED IT

[@Heavenly-Drakian]

i saw several ppl say that the translation was "Outsiders have no place in valhalla!" that feels like a more appropriate translation for the situation

[@Prominexus]

Quite literally called it.

Huber saying "kratos with an axe" best bit

[@shahiranzaman2259]

Huber looked like he was about to pass out when Kratos threw his axe

[@BlackSkullArmor]

Notice how he gives the kid a little push with the knife, but then release his grip to let him finish the job himself. Just a small detail that caught my eye.

[@johncra8982]

the greatest game reveal that will ever be, just mastery.

[@alphabulblax1649]

3:10 That would be hilarious. As they play, the curtain rises. The screen comes down and is completely black. Suddenly, a pentagram appears on the bottom. The chanting and music grows louder and faster as a silhouette rises up from the pentagram. It hovers in the air and begins to glow brighter and brighter. The orchestra stretches out the loudest note. They stop and the silhouette falls to the ground revealing Crash. The audience goes wild.

[@jseigle_]

It’s 2023. Have beaten this game multiple times and Ragnarok twice, the reveal still gives me chills

[@BlueShellshock]

There was so much unspoken during that demo. Kratos' hesitance to get close to his son. Accepting that to hunt means to kill. So many things that took advantage of actions rather than just words - it was wonderful to watch.

[@Philsical94]

5 years later and "KRATOS WITH AN AXE" still cheers me up

[@MasterXIII13]

I make a YEARLY return to this video for how FUCKING INCREDIBLE both this reveal and reaction was.

Look at the orchestra: Kratos with a violin! and he can even make his enemies run in fear with that!

2023 right now. It's awesome to know that Bear Mcreary did such an amazing job with the music score for GoW 2018 that the developers gave him an npc to play in Ragnarok with his own side quest.

it is actually in ancient nordic language

[@beckgrit3688]

Little Cupcake modern icelandic is actually very similar to old norse. So icelandic and norse are practically one in the same

[@Bkbarracas]

The best reveal of all time. So proud of the work they did and happy to show it off as well they should have been, game was a masterpiece in both story telling and game play

[@crfstaley]

Responding to this comment 10 months later but I agree. Like has there been a first reveal of a game since this that just straight up showed 15 minutes of gameplay right of the bat without any trailers or anything? And this reveal was TWO years before the game even came out. Just crazy. Also, with E3 unfortunately being dead I don't think we will ever get something like this ever again.

[@shtiken]

You know a real gamer who's able to tell a game either by the BGM/character's voice. Well done, Hubert.

[@mismismism]

I love the new direction, it matches the story while maturing and finally giving Kratos some development and something more than just being an angry badass. I'm so hyped for this.

[@Badong1981]

Anyone else who had watched this reaction video has probably either played and finished the game already or had watched playthrough videos. Imagine the next game would be where Kratos fights Thor. And then when Kratos calls for his axe, Thor's hammer came instead expressing submission to Kratos. Then the scene focuses on Thor's half surprised and half scared face. That would be epic.

The technology has also matured allowing for more deeper and detailed experiences. We can pretty much create new levels of realism that draw you in.

[@danmann861]

“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” CS Lewis
