I hope it's live action and starring Christopher Judge.

I hope it's animated and voiced by Mike Judge.

I don't know what you guys have? Wheel of time was fantastic and even more so the Lord of the Rings series was a masterpiece. Only amazon can create something great out of that.

The entertainment industry needs Jesus

I wish they’d have Kratos fight Jesus, it’d be worth a Prime subscription for sure

 

[Chronicle]

Amazon Prime? Yuck. Should've gone to HBO who actually knows how to produce good shows.

The Boys.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Amazon should get fucked. This game doesn’t need it at all since it tells a great story by itself. If you want to know the universe and story that bad, play the fucking game and appreciate the hard work that went into that.

 

[hangdang69]

Please stop turning games into movies and tv shows PLEASE STOP

The Boys.

The Boys sucks. Reddit tier humor for people who think saying bad words are funny or cool

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Exploitation to the limit by Sony.

 

[Jaybe]

Is the next step hiring writers that love subverting expectations and hate video games?

 

[DevilHunterX0]

But will it have the sex minigame? Asking for a friend.

The era of super hero comic book adaptations is over. The era of video game adaptions is here.

The Wheel of Time’s Rafe Judkins will serve as showrunner

 

[SmokedMeat]

Videogames are the new Marvel.

They’d better not screw this up.

God this will be bad

 

[Yoboman]

Boy line about the change into my sweet son.

Kratos : The Truth. I am a god, he/him, from another land, far from here. When I came to these shores, I chose to live as a he/him.

 

[Spyxos]

I see you don't get sarcasm.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I see you don't get sarcasm.

Oh I did, Iol. Just thought it would be a funny response.

 

[T4keD0wN]

Cant wait for Tom Hollands portrayal of Kratos.

 

[Fart Knight]

GoW Prime releasing before Metroid Prime 4

 

[Ar¢tos]

I don't want to live in this world anymore...

 

[bitbydeath]

This could be great, it should star Bezos as Kratos.

He could start by slaying the MySpace owner (there was one right?), and vow against killing Bill Gates to take the throne. Bezos could work his way up, taking out Bill’s lackeys and Zuckerberg and at the end have Elon Musk appear purchasing Twitter.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Why do I get the feeling they'll ruin it?

Atreus will be a girl, probably one who isn't white, and Kratos will a Hispanic.

All the characters in this European mythological epic will be straight out of the diversity hiring pool.

Attention. Here you go.

Christopher Judge

companies want to make money.

 

[ButchCat]

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

I have a very strong feeling that they will find a way to ruin God of War, but I guess we’ll see what happens.

 

[Digity]

I hope it's animated and voiced by Mike Judge.

“That boy ain’t right.”

 

[Fart Knight]

 

[xrnzaaas]

Idris Elba as Kratos and Elliot Page as Atreus - I can see it already.

 

[balls of snow]

Welp. Get set for gow 2018 remake bois.

 

[Ronin_7]

SONY putting series across every single service is hitting my nerves.

 

[tommib]

I miss the times when games were made by players for players and we as players were ridiculed by "normal" people but left alone.

Just because there is so much money behind the once good franchises and some managers sniff the big money, mediocre products are being produced, produced, produced.

You have almost no chance to escape the oversaturation and eventually we have only a gray uniform mush, which must satisfy all and no longer dares anything. We can already see it today. The AAA titles rarely dare to do anything anymore, work off their checklists and function to 80% according to the same, promising formula.

Boring. That's all I can think of.

I'm bored by AC
I'm bored by Horizon
I'm bored by CoD
I'm bored by FC
I'm bored by GoW
I'm bored by Halo
I'm bored by BF

All the franchises I used to like became boring by doing the same over and over again. Adding series to that now doesn't make it any better. Only non-gamers can be additionally bored.

Move on from AAA IPs. There’s a whole world beyond those games.

 

[Yoboman]

Chris Judge can't be Kratos

Chris Judge 20 years ago would be perfect, but by the time this starts shooting he will be 60.

Yeah they could maybe get away with it if they just start at norse Mythology and only plan on one season. But I doubt they will

[Synless]

You clearly didn’t see how they cast the last of us…

 

[ReBurn]

When Sony/amazon first announced that they were making "The Boys" a lot of people were skeptical. Not knowing that the source material had a ton of potential.

Given what Sony did with The Boys on Amazon Prime, I'm excited.

I like The Boys a lot and I agree with you.

 

[tommib]

Welcome to the streaming age. Everything will be adapted/redone/rebooted, and it'll all be terrible. We did this to ourselves.

True, man. We can only blame the audiences. If audiences disappear the entertainment business will rethink itself.

Everyone’s complaining about the death of cinema since everything is marvel and super-heroes but they’re all day one for half the globe. We did this to ourselves indeed.

On the contrary if they are doing adaptations I welcome them doing videogame adaptations and doing it right

1) Game stories are way, way more varied than Marvel stories on repeat
2) Grows the audiences of the games like the Witcher and Cyberpunk did

Problem is all the adaptations like Halo given to people who don't give a fuck about the source material and think they know better. Hopefully Sony and Nintendo being involved in recent projects sets a standard for good adapting

 

[Swift_Star]

Disappointing they’re focusing on the recent games. The old games could be expanded to give kratos more nuance and reasons for his vengeance.
They also could explain why the Greek pantheon acted like they did.
Very disappointing.

 

[sendit]

If the writing is even half as good as Rings of Power, I will be ecstatic.

that stuff wouldn't fly during today's social climate lmao

 

[Soltype]

Hopefully it'll be based on old school God of War.

 

[Warablo]

Is this why Henry Cavil left the Witcher?
