Doesn't make sense...Cory Barlog has said it's a direct sequel to God of War III on Youtube's E3 coverage. The gameplay has been changed but its not a reboot.
It's the same Kratos from God of War III the game is simply set in the future from that game.Doesn't make sense...
Norse mythology
Main character redesign
Complete gameplay redesign
That sounds more like a reboot than a continuation...Besides all that, even if the story takes place after the events of GOW3... how do you explain the jump to Norse mythology?
