Yeah it seems to be the trend of the series, first greek mythology, now norce mythology, next maybe egyptian mythology? Just killing off all the gods, it’s a great idea lol.
Hades is just his favorite uncle 😂 You didn’t see him visiting Poseidon, Hera, or Hestia like that. The only time he visited Poseidon was to kill him 😂
I remember being amazed by the first game and how well done it was. God of War is definitely a hit from a fading era that took risks and produced a true gem.
The only time he really died was in GoW 1. He had already become immortal by GoW with the power of Thanatos and being a half-god. That's why he has the hole of the Blade, and not the hole of the giant pillar Ares threw at him.
I remember LONG AGO buying a gaming magazine at a quick check, within this magazine was a disk with a few demos One of which was God of War Here I am, 2018 & about 35hrs into God Of War for the PS4 Thank you so much! Absolute Perfection
Right? They should've gotten an actual guy who played the GoW series, that same bird was shown as Zeus when he showed up in front of Kratos when he was down.
Maybe Kratos thought that Athena was the one that did it OR since she's with the gods, which is why he said "Athena, you conspire against me!?" that she may have told Zeus that Kratos "betrayed" and/or went against the gods wishes the gods which maybe would have made Zeus go down there himself and collect the sword of Olympus.
dude wtf did you really play the game or what..kratos think that athena is the one who shrink him. that's why he said athena will be suffer in the first scene
One of the best gaming series for me. Hydra and Colossus statue boss fights always stay in my memories! Btw. look at those graphics in the first gow. Its insane how good the series always looked like
Most fitting explanation that I’ve heard is because the original curse put on Kratos made him unable to kill himself, so he eventually came back from the stab wound and walked off.
I never understood how kratos’ death works in this. He keeps coming back, maintains all his godly powers even in death and is basically just moving place to place while remaining unchanged. I suppose my question is why the gods and others can’t transition between life and death like he can Then again, the ghost of Athena is another point. The ghost of a god? And why aren’t the other gods interacting with the world like she is? And do the other dead gods still exist? Or did kratos killing them destroy them completely? Her existence brings a lot of questions
this made me laugh. I love God Of War and I remember in every game being sent to Hades like it was a ritual. Lmao! Great series, except Ascension...I like to pretend they never made that one.
most *Publishers* don't care about the quality of games, they just care about money, this will likely be a great game, but it won't change anything overall.
Thank u for doing this. I tried to force myself to play it for the first time but man...those fixed camera angles were hard to deal with. Im pretty excited to jump into the new GOW on the ps4
Jesus Meza-Garcia That will have to wait. They already said Norse Mythology is chapter 2 of Kratos. I bet you won't fight any God's in this one until the sequel or if any someone who is less known to us.
Candice Uchiha Yeah I'm pretty sure that we won't be able to kill any god's yet. Maybe minor god's (or whatever they're called in norse mythology) but I'd be surprised if we could.
Ahmad Rabbani And Mesopotamian religions predate Egyptian ones and other Indo-Iranic religions like Hinduism predate that one too. Hinduism is the worlds oldest surviving religion which has a recorded history (other religions have been reconstructed slightly but written records are lost). What’s your point?
Middle Eastern Atheist my point is that they can’t make a game with Egyptian gods that also has Kratos. Same goes for all those other gods you mentioned.
AWESOME recap, i was not confused after all , i was pretty sure that we had to retrieve pandora's box twice in the entire saga... but i have totally forgotten the plot on the PSP episodes... so great recap.
I've never had a PS2/PS3/PSP so I missed out on all the God of War games. This video is all I needed. I don't need to play those games since God of War 2018 is such a departure from the 6 other games, Just needed to know the TL;DR. Now there is the problem that I do not currently own a PS4/PS4 pro, because I'm a PC/Switch owner and I felt that gave me access to enough games. Heh, I'll probably just keep watching Jesse and Girard's LP.
Thank you so much. I haven’t been able to play all of the games but I really like his story. I was looking for a way to know the whole story without having to play all the games again.
I just got the new God of War and it’s awesome. But it’s my first GOW game, and after watching this video which helped out a lot, I’m so lost on what happened from the end of GOW3 and this one lol. I guess this one will give answers as I play.
Thank you! I haven't played the older GOW games in so long, I forgot most of the story. Didn't want to play through them all again just to get re-caught up before playing GOW4.
If you want to actually appreciate the story-line and history of the game, you're really doing yourself a disservice not playing them. Playing all PSP/PS installments, I'm happy to say this will be the most anticipated game for me in many, many years.
I really hope people aren't relying on these throwaway videos for backstory, these games are the absolute best in their genre! They deserve to be played and not have their story relayed by a passive-aggressive-guy who's said on many occasions that he doesn't like the series.
When you have to move mythologies because you killed everyone in your old one
Underrated comment.
Pretty much what happened, but honestly it may have something to do with Tyre and his ability to move between the realm between realms. Idk
Yeah it seems to be the trend of the series, first greek mythology, now norce mythology, next maybe egyptian mythology? Just killing off all the gods, it’s a great idea lol.
@@Settiis wait whaaaat.. Never thought of that
Lol
Kratos- No, I have no father.
(2 minutes later)
Kratos- Zeus, Your Son has returned.
Udip Rai Yeah he was correct with both statements.

He was sarcastic
More like 10 seconds.
Hahahaah your killing it
'Kratos doesn't spend long in his yearly Vacation to hades'. 😂😂
lol
Just the regular now😂
Hades to Krato: "you again?" lolll
Hades is just his favorite uncle 😂
You didn’t see him visiting Poseidon, Hera, or Hestia like that. The only time he visited Poseidon was to kill him 😂
Hades be like, bye mortal come visit again when you die again🤣
I remember being amazed by the first game and how well done it was. God of War is definitely a hit from a fading era that took risks and produced a true gem.
hahaha! Very Nice!
2008: "Child"
2018: *"BOI"*

2020: chile...
Didn’t even mention the fact the white skin was the ashes of his wife and child... pretty important if you ask me...
Importantly, not.
Kenshiro black are you serious? Greeks is not black lol
True.... Also socalled Egytians wasn't white either
Not black mixed brown or dusky
Egyptians were a mix of black, arab, and white.
He went back to the underworld, acquired a son and then fought his way out again obviously.
lol
There are consequences to all those quick time events

She's a Titan you doofus
Meanwhile Sea of Thieves players still don't know that is the purpose of the game.
honestly, i have an xbox but i don't even know why microsoft even bothered to make that game, patiently waiting for this though
You know that people have different tastes and those game can coexist?
Mai garib hu
and 16 seconds
xxInGodsReachxx he starts at 16 sec he does introduction in between that time
Adam Bradley and outro as well

xxInGodsReachxx people like you are just that dumb.
God, this helped so much
Nicolas Matteo you spelled *Kratos* wrong.
Nicolas Matteo yeah haven’t played all of them and been awhile since I played the first one
Damn u missed so much then
Tu Macho I did play God of War 3 remastered tho. That game was intense
Nicolas Matteo yeah badass man but the first nd second are amazing too
The game which made me fall in love with video games!!! 😋
NG Tech yeah me too my childhood was all about god of war I and II back in the ps2 era
Why is he a fucker? Jeez, Theres some dickheads on here. Chill out.
NG Tech so true
NG Tech yes
NG Tech for real 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I'm playing God of War 4 right now and mygod it's amazing! Thanks for the quick recap, it really helped me make this game even more enjoyable!
Kratos kills some dudes. Saved you 7 minutes
King Jaylen These aren't just dudes my dude. These are strong dudes
Dude of war!
He killed gods and monsters! which he is going to do again on April 20th
Not just some dudes, all the dudes.
*killed some Gods.
He didnt die in the beggining of GoW 3. Falling into the underworld doesnt mean necessarily death.
No he was dead dude
Especially for Kratos
Yeah that's what I thought too. He falls into the underworld and lands in the river styx which drains his powers.
The only time he really died was in GoW 1. He had already become immortal by GoW with the power of Thanatos and being a half-god. That's why he has the hole of the Blade, and not the hole of the giant pillar Ares threw at him.
FinalNero
No he wasnt. Play the game.
I'm so tired of the pubg ads
Folesadelphia, Wentzsylvania facts every vid
Same here
Folesadelphia, Wentzsylvania *SAME*
SAME.
Same
"Zeus is your father!"
"No, its not true, its impossible!"
Search your feelings, Kratos. You know it to be true.
I remember LONG AGO buying a gaming magazine at a quick check, within this magazine was a disk with a few demos
One of which was God of War
Here I am, 2018 & about 35hrs into God Of War for the PS4
Thank you so much! Absolute Perfection
Not Athena brings Colossus to live, it was a Zeus
Right? They should've gotten an actual guy who played the GoW series, that same bird was shown as Zeus when he showed up in front of Kratos when he was down.
It blew me away that this obvious fact was overlooked.
True, but after shrinking Kratos, he mentioned Athena, that made me kinda confuse
Maybe Kratos thought that Athena was the one that did it OR since she's with the gods, which is why he said "Athena, you conspire against me!?" that she may have told Zeus that Kratos "betrayed" and/or went against the gods wishes the gods which maybe would have made Zeus go down there himself and collect the sword of Olympus.

One of the best gaming series for me. Hydra and Colossus statue boss fights always stay in my memories! Btw. look at those graphics in the first gow. Its insane how good the series always looked like
TheMysterlool do you watch anime?
I am disappointed that this wasn't just 7 minutes of Kratos yelling Aries, Zeus, and ect.
that kratos just keep coming back from hell 😂😂😂
Doesn't kill Aphrodite tho
He killed it in bed with her
iWillWakeYouUp lol
DeathgGod well she is now with zues being dead lol
Leave to smash that another day
The Joker ''kissin cousins'' indeed
God of War is one of my favorite video game series of all time. I can't wait to continue Kratos story in the next God of War game.
I hope it will explain how did he survive after the end of GoW III.
Marko Srbinovski He actually slid under the Trash Can
It's really not like he hasn't been killed before so..
MultiRv90 Since when though?He died multiple times.Who even cursed him.That's what we can still learn
Marko Srbinovski he's immortal
Marko Srbinovski I think during a live Q&A of the Devs they said he was Inmortal, might be wrong though.
You don’t find out. Just beat 4 today. Beautiful game. So good. Loved every minute of it. 10/10
less than a week now till next one is out
@@artem178 it’s time.

Prolly the comics will explain this
Greek gods ✔
Norse gods
Roman gods
Egyptian gods
Indian gods
American gods
Pacific gods
Fire Lord yep
Fire Lord pretty much but hey, if anyones gonna kill gods twice over, itd be kratos
American gods?
An00bis yeah, like Morgan Freeman
I think he means the gods of the Aztecs or something.
Thanks ign for this awesome video
This was much needed
2:10 Vin Diesel LMAO🤣
Lol
this made me laugh. I love God Of War and I remember in every game being sent to Hades like it was a ritual. Lmao! Great series, except Ascension...I like to pretend they never made that one.
Absolutely
@@dii_ea Yeah. Like Devil May Cry community also rejects the existence of DMC2...
I really hope they remaster all those games for Playstation 5
Ümit Ay I don't think so ther will be playstation 5 because they will change the name
I heard that ps5 can play ps4 games so don't worry
VINE WOOD where did you heard that
VINE WOOD it's probably fake cuz there is no trailer for the PlayStation 5
basic guitar player yes baby this f**king right
The next GOW will rise the bar for other games.. just wait and see ;)
Naw, the last of us 2 will. This will be a close second though.
most *Publishers* don't care about the quality of games, they just care about money, this will likely be a great game, but it won't change anything overall.
Didn't HZD raise the bar. Loved that game an can't wait for sequel.
Tlou 2? Successor to the most overrated game? Won't stand against god of war
It’s called opinions, I like GoW and tlau too
Best god of wars till now -
2
3
Ghost of Sparta
1
Chains of Olympus
Ascensions
Betrayal
Gamer 1401 ascension for me was the worst.
Betrayal was pretty cool the first time it came out, playing that on my mom's phone was awesome. Now it's hot garbage xD
Gamer 1401 I only really liked 1 and 2
Your right. 2 is the best.
Gamer 1401 that's a pretty good ranking
"Kratos somehow falls down into the underworld" My guy, he died, that's how
This is better than watching the 5hr cut scenes movie
Just imagine...Kratos pulls out the Blades of Exile when he finally loses it and Atreus is like, “What are those?!” lmao that’d still be badass 😂😂
not possible since he broke all of his weapons when fighting zeus
dm me @loljoa
I will jump over a building if Kratos pull out his blade of olympus while using rage of sparta
It happens!
Alfred Fonseca i don't want to spoil you but i have good news lol
Now this is what we call quality content
"...in his yearly trips to Hades."
Wonder whether Kratos will go to Norse underworld in 2018 GOW.
He does
Kratos hasn't mellowed out, he's just now more tranquil fury rather than non-stop roaring rage.
my man kratos is killing gods 1 by 1 and he dont even get a summer vacation
For someone like me who's new to the game...
Its just a mythological story with fights...
I have never understood the concept of "immortality" in God of War !!!
@IGN Thanks for this quick recap summary. I never had a PS3 and didn't get to play any of the GoD of War Games. This was perfect!
Only one game came out on the ps3, and that was god of war 3. Pretty sure all the others were ps2 and psp
Al Phuckya I didn't have a PS2 either. I was a poor Xbox only guy till now on my PS4 and my lonely Xbox One
Well they remastered 1 & 2 for PS3 as well (that's how I played their first), which you can actually play on PS4 through PS Now too.
Al Phuckya also GOW Ascension came out on PS3 as well
Thank u for doing this. I tried to force myself to play it for the first time but man...those fixed camera angles were hard to deal with. Im pretty excited to jump into the new GOW on the ps4
Guess what - we never found out how he got to Norse mythology, neat.
I hope the God of War series goes all the way to the Egyptian Gods or other gods.
Jesus Meza-Garcia That will have to wait. They already said Norse Mythology is chapter 2 of Kratos. I bet you won't fight any God's in this one until the sequel or if any someone who is less known to us.

Cursed mobile pubg adds jeez
Same name
5:31, he didn't die, he fell to the underworld and had to make his way up to Zeus again
Forgot to tell people why he has white skin all the sudden. A spell put the ashes of his dead family on his skin forever.
"Death is only a minor speed bump to Kratos"
Ain't that the truth...
im asking myself every day

why the hell i bought Xbox 😢
Amir zxy i dont know
Because… reasons.
Amir zxy forza horizon, gears of wars, halo that are some games worth buying an Xbox even tho I'm a Playstation fan.

NoaMovies haha xD wanna add me on play tho? ;D
I can do it in one second: everybody dies
Jc Busta I laughed so hard at your comment. It made my day, it’s also completely accurate. Thank you for this.
Well Athena is still alive
abubakerh nope she's dead too but stil excist as a higher form of a ghost or something like that
Well i guess we might see her in this one cause her ghost was still alive at the end
Not Aphrodite :)

Such an amazing series! Especially the psp titles were very detailed and articulate for a handheld
This story explanation is by far the best in TH-cam but its still confusing as hell🤕
Story, combat and epicness. These games have it all. The new one will be a master piece
Thank you so much. I haven’t been able to play all of the games but I really like his story. I was looking for a way to know the whole story without having to play all the games again.
I literally don’t know anything about god of war, and I want to buy the new game...so this is freaking perfect 👌🏼
This was a great 7 minutes as I am in the midst of playing GOW, thanks man

Cant wait at all :)

When you switched from Xbox and you need a quick catch up to the fun you’ve missed for decades.
So Kratos has basically died and went to the underworld in EVERY MAJOR game (GOW 1,2,3) and still came back to kill Zeus
What a fuckin savage

by far one of the greatest game ever made , music , game play , story , epicness all is over the roof!
