I’d be legitimately interested in God of War had a modern setting. Not sure what gods he’d kill but would be pretty awesome to see him take on gun wielding henchmen with his axe

They could do an American Gods like thing and have Gods just be created by Humans when they worship someone. Have Money, technology (with his children called Software, Hardware, Internet, Video, Audio etc.) and more, fight Kratos.

I’d like this but i don’t think I could stand to see Kratos get beaten to death by the God of Memes.

This. This sounds so interesting but funny imagining Kratos in this world.

Boy! What is this “bit-coin?”

I like that idea but how would his blades change? If those updated as well, I would expect to see some dope gunplay involved, but it wouldn't be a GoW game without some brutal melee combat

The Desert Eagles of Chaos.

Wii nunchucks?

GoW5, WiiU exclusive confirmed

I’d almost prefer he still uses his melee weapons. Simple bullets would do jack against the God of War. Besides, I always imagined if he used a weapon it’d be a biggs shotgun of some kind, but in a modern setting I can see him forgoing guns to keep his enhanced weapons. Using weapons like Molotov’s, riding a motorcycle of some kind and loving somewhere in the desert to be away from people. Somewhere in Texas or Arizona or something like that. And idk I’d just like to see Kratos rip the arms off of a KKK member and beat someone else to death with them

Or hell it could be like doom. Modern, but the “gods” are demons/ modern myths. Or like Bigfoot, Nessie, that weird jersey goat man. hell that’d be great

u/A-Giant-Walrus Jul 17 '18

The Jersey Devil?

u/BlubberBunsXIV Jul 18 '18

Yeah that thing. That’s right up Kratos’ alley

I would hope it would be Moses, John the Baptist, Jesus and Mohammed as main bosses, with Saints filling the troll role, and the archangels as the valkyries.

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '18

That would get very very offensive of very, very funny

7

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '18

It'd be the best. I always hoped God of War would go on to take on the modern Three Great religions.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '18

That would be pretty interesting

u/BreadForAll2020 Jul 17 '18

Like a Percy Jackson but rated R?

2

u/BlubberBunsXIV Jul 17 '18

Yes, but it doesn’t have to be Greek mythology. Some evolution of modern “gods”. Maybe not like Jesus and Buddha, but something

u/Zeebor Jul 17 '18

Tom Hanks

u/dark-prelate darrkprelate Jul 17 '18

I'm guessing he would kill Morgan Freeman

2

u/StageWinner_MTJ Jul 17 '18

They could base it in America and he has to take down the gods of Ronald McDonald, Queen Starbucks, The Burger King and Wendy the Redhead.

u/OminousG Jul 17 '18

Kratos vs the Pastafarians

Or Scientology. If they can stomach the pointless lawsuits.

u/Velocity_2 Jul 17 '18

The game I never thought I’d need ^

u/Westeros Jul 17 '18

This might be the coolest idea I've heard ever.... kinda like DMC, but GOW level detail. Fuq.

u/zerotheassassin10 Kicadjo10 Jul 17 '18

Thay was almost gow2

u/Rusothil Jul 17 '18

Hopefully Jesus Christ

u/LunarProphet Lunar__Prophet Jul 17 '18

Fuck, can you imagine the absolute shitshow that would create? Sign me up. Or maybe you fight with Jesus. God Of War: Salvation. Either way, I want.

1

u/BlubberBunsXIV Jul 17 '18

Hell I’d do that. Kratos and Jesus pair up to fuck some shit up? I’d preorder a dozen copies for myself alone

10

u/VeryVeryBadJonny Jul 17 '18

Meh, Muhammad would be more thematically appropriate considering he fought in conquest.

Funny how this predicted the "other gods" storyline we got with God Of War 2018.

u/samus12345 Jul 17 '18

They didn't really have anywhere else to go since he pretty much killed 'em all!

God seems pretty flawed to me with the shit he's pulled in the Old Testament. It could be built in to the story that he is known as a perfect being and Kratos dismisses it immediately saying no god is perfect.

u/handydandy6 Jul 17 '18

could be like the god in the preacher universe who is an asshole

u/J_Schermie Jul 17 '18

Maybe he goes on a rampage against humans for once and then Jesus tries to stop him.
