This video actually has me a bit more motivated to go back and play the first three games and beat them. Guess On Wednesday I'll get the PSP version and see how far I make it this time.
lol i love it when IGN does these videos that explain game stories in 5 minutes. They really make it funny xD "Kratos then decides to join the Olympic high diving team" lol!
I heard a story about two starving single moms who agreed to eat each other's children in order to survive. After they ate one of the kids, the one mom hid her child so he wouldn't get eaten. The other Mom who had eaten her own child with the one mom took her case straight to the king and pleaded with him to force the one mom to give up her child according to their agreement so he may be boiled and eaten. BTW, it's a true story.
I forgot about that but that would still be highly unlikely 1- Sony has made a contract with the God of War Franchise for the next few years 2- is that I was talking about this game so even if it went multi-plat then it would either be on a very powerful cpu or on a new xbox console... so if you want to wait 2-3 years for god of war 3 or you want to scramble around for certain chips to power your cpu be my guest... other then that wait a few weeks and get it for the ps3
@nayte23 I know. I was just pointing one point. I didn't think I needed to say it was developed by SCEA cause I thought everyone who watched Ign knew that.
And we found out that ares didn't actually send him in chains of Olympus but he was doing the bidding of athena after he got free of his service to ares
One may ask, why did you watch this video then? I was interested to see what the plot story is that people are watching. I figured, "why not educate myself?"
I understand you are a fan, but GOW series never interested me. I played the first one's first level, and after I saw those Quicktime events, I was totally unimpressed. I tend to stay away from those action adfventure games, because they tend to take up too much of my time. I don't play games to occupy my time, but rather as a brief break from my work. I am more of a Shmup fan than anything, or pretty much anything that can be picked up and played without much learning or collecting.
...and then things got worse. I mean seriously this is just a clusterfuck of someone being a dick to Kratos, Kratos wanting to make things right, but then someone else being a dick to him anyway. The only bad thing Kratos did was being biasd to Sparta as the God of War
Wait, why didn't Kratos just grab his family while he was down in Hell? I mean, it's not as if there was anywhere else for them to go. Heaven hadn't been invented yet.
I believe it's only for ps3 because the studio that makes this is called SONY santa monica studios, so the only way that this would go on the 360 is if sony joined forces with microsoft or sony completely collapsed as a company
nice but there is no explain of ascension and god of war 3 in the order Ascension, Chains of Olympus, God of War 1. Ghost of Sparta, God of War 2 then God of War 3
Isn't athena his sister which makes area his brother which mean Deimos is related aswell plus Hercules too, so kratos killed Athena And ares. That means Zeus is athenas and ares's dad too? And chronos is their uncle?
GREEK history and mythology its just awesome! nothing compares to greek mythology! Thermopiles battles(300), Omirou Iliada(The war of Troy), Omirou Odisia (After the war of Troy when Odisseas(one of the characters of Iliada) sets sails to go back home and God Poseidon punishes him to wander the seas for ever), Hercules, Titans Wars, Agronauts(Theseas,also bloody story), The Amazons (Women warriors, cutting one brest so they can shoot arrows with bow better) and Zina=fake ;p
Okay getting GOW 3 remastered
This video actually has me a bit more motivated to go back and play the first three games and beat them. Guess On Wednesday I'll get the PSP version and see how far I make it this time.
3:28 you gotta leave a link for this pic.. i almost laughed my ass of.:)
I love this series. Saves me from actually playing the game. Keep it up man, it's awesome.
The logic from 12 years ago lmao
@@gamecop2191 no wonder lots of fans dont play the actually games
@TaylorTV5 its not that its too big, the main reason its exclusive is that its a sony studio developed game, its their ip
only one problem, it said he was a general in the spartan army but he was a captain, he just a lot of people under his command
lol i love it when IGN does these videos that explain game stories in 5 minutes. They really make it funny xD "Kratos then decides to join the Olympic high diving team" lol!
Dude, much more has happened since this video it makes me wanna cry honestly
Where is Percy Jackson when u need him???
1:14 I`ve never heard an idiom that is used so accurately.
"Painting the town red".
2:20 GASP! It's One Eyed Willy! Awesome!

this so needs to be updated
4:47 I thought if Kratos was happier and more optimestic he would've been like "We'll atleast Zeus didn't say "I am your father!""
do you just come back to this video every year?
@Gorilla7511 i believe so, the story of GoW 3 is that Kratos attacks Olympus, so according to this he does this with the help of the titans
"Xena the warrior princess " used to have a similar plot where she had the power to kill the Gods of olimpus...
I forgot about that but that would still be highly unlikely 1- Sony has made a contract with the God of War Franchise for the next few years

5:01 Just proves how Badass Kratos is!!
Whoa; a quality video on IGN? Amazing
Thx Ign, this was just great ! And thx Damon !
@vjhy
No! Ares is Athena's brother..
Listen carefully, he says: "Athena tells Kratos, that her brother Ares......"
;D
@nayte23 I know. I was just pointing one point. I didn't think I needed to say it was developed by SCEA cause I thought everyone who watched Ign knew that.

@VideoWatcher1997 Yes and the gods really exist and Kratos is a real guy that killed them all...
Is there plans for a new version by IGN on this video? I mean this one was before GoWIII so the story has evolved a bit I'd say :P
This plot sounds more like a time traveling, sibling killing, nightmare
Chains of Olympus my friend. Chronologically it takes place before the first God of war.
@navi1007
the amount of blood a human uses every day is equal to an olympic sized pool,
*no pun intended
3:24 is more awkward than seeing him brutally murdered on Mortal Kombat. O_o
lol, cool, wondering, was that up to the end og GoW 2 or 3? the only one i've played is chains on psp, so yeah, just wondering
@MRANDREWSHOW no it's chains of olympus,god of war,ghost of sparta,god of war II, god of war III
By the way the bundle pack I'm talking about is called god of war origins its going to be released 9-13-11
This video contained Chains Of Olympus (PSP), GOW (PS2) and GOW2 (PS2).
EPIC GRUNT AT 2:35
@vjhy
It's very confusing.. yes Zeus is Kratos' father..
And Ares is Athena's brother..
But Ares is not the son of Zeus.. or?
Dah, confusing.. :D
You guys missed two God of Wars in this vid.
@TaylorTV5 the 360 could run God of War, but it won't happen since its owned by sony.
It allowed Kratos to parry (counter) attacks.
You Forgot "Ghost of Sparta" Between GoW 1 and 2
"after some really annoying puzzles envolving towers with spinning blades" lol
One video IGN could make finally.

Kratos:Zeus,the son has returned,I bring the destruction of Olympus!!!
Zeus:*crushes another Ps2 with evil laugh*
The End
...and then things got worse.
I mean seriously this is just a clusterfuck of someone being a dick to Kratos, Kratos wanting to make things right, but then someone else being a dick to him anyway. The only bad thing Kratos did was being biasd to Sparta as the God of War
Damon Hatfield's narrations equal= pure win
those 5 min vids are hilarious...
this ones even better than masseffect in 5 min
Ares was Zeus' son as well if I'm not wrong.
You guys should redo this since there is more to the story now
Ign should do more of these videos
Wait, why didn't Kratos just grab his family while he was down in Hell? I mean, it's not as if there was anywhere else for them to go. Heaven hadn't been invented yet.
The best "... in 5 mins" vid yet!
LOL At Kratos's Happy Face.
Made My Day
@Gorilla7511 they also added God of War: Chains of Olympus, which is the psp game
are there any othr god of war games aftr this or did this summarize the entire series
Greek mythology is more messed up than the Jerry Springer Show.
I think I actually read it takes place before Chains of Olympus. How can it take place in the middle of the first one if we played the first?
I believe it's only for ps3 because the studio that makes this is called SONY santa monica studios, so the only way that this would go on the 360 is if sony joined forces with microsoft or sony completely collapsed as a company
This is wrong, Chains of Olympus is before God of War 1 -_-
Indeed they put it before GOW 1, the initial cutscenes must have confused you, even if they are in GOW 1 they tell about how everything started
i know but i'm commenting on how at first you didn't think i'd be GOTY
no it wasnt tacked on. That was why he went to the island of fate so he could go back and kill zeus
We are ready to GOW 3 and you?
thank u soooo much ign. wanted to no the story of god of war. never played the ps2 ones. definitly getting god of war 3 after that
God of War
Chains of Olympus
God of War II
Ghost of Sparta
That's the order rite?
Kratos kills himself,freeing the power of hope so the people can live without gods,after he kills Zeus.
Question, if he brings the Titans to the present, the gods never exist, so then he doesn't exist, WTF?
nice but there is no explain of ascension and god of war 3
in the order Ascension, Chains of Olympus, God of War 1. Ghost of Sparta, God of War 2 then God of War 3
Dude this was made before God of war 3 came out
oh i didn't know that video is before 2010
2:58
kratos looks wierd when happy :p
WOW, Kratos sure doesn't make it easy for himself...
Too bad this video was before Ghost of Sparta. It'd be nice if they made complete video of the entire series.
So, if i don't like, i'm not in 2012...*checks calendar, screams of death and sadness* "my life is a LIE"
This story is from the 1st n 2nd God of War. Play the 3rd one for an Epic Story and Game
yes
ign is getting people ready for the3rd game :D
Why did Ares trick Kratos to kill his family he gains nothing from it
Poor Greeks just getting owned while all this is going on.
"When the elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers the most."
When he said "Shocker" I just couldn't stop laughing.
Isn't athena his sister which makes area his brother which mean Deimos is related aswell plus Hercules too, so kratos killed Athena And ares. That means Zeus is athenas and ares's dad too? And chronos is their uncle?
nice KRATOS EPIC story in a little over 5 minutes looking forward to GOW 3.
i played the demo for GoW3 and it does not disapoint fellow GoW fans
awesome work ign
Oh fair enough, how's he gonna deal with his past self ? I mean that's an awkward reunion.
No, but Ascension did well enough to warrant a new GoW.
GREEK history and mythology its just awesome! nothing compares to greek mythology! Thermopiles battles(300), Omirou Iliada(The war of Troy), Omirou Odisia (After the war of Troy when Odisseas(one of the characters of Iliada) sets sails to go back home and God Poseidon punishes him to wander the seas for ever), Hercules, Titans Wars, Agronauts(Theseas,also bloody story), The Amazons (Women warriors, cutting one brest so they can shoot arrows with bow better) and Zina=fake ;p
wow...the plot is far more complex then i tought...
BEST IN 5 MINUTES VIDEO EVER
please do prototype in 5 minutes.
4:46 Star Wars reference?
woah kratos can survive years without food or water
Some work argue wether that was a good ending or not.
So then does this mean that Ares is Kratos' uncle?
jesus christ, that was the longest 5mins
I now want to know what the god of ear would look like
they do realized gods and titans cant be killed
5:11 "HOLD DEVIL'S POT OF TEA"
That "God of war: chains of olympus" for the PSP
it was from the psp game chains of olympus
@MrBaseballsluger
It includes Chains of Olympus but not Ghost of Sparta.
Kratos' voice "acting" is hilarious.
in all the series, kratos went to hell like 8 times? iono confirm plz
