Damn, I wish we'd stop using these acronyms and instead use the full game names.
I always confuse the God Of War and Gears Of War games and it takes me a while until I get my head around what game we are talking about.
Gears of... GOD of War 2 looks damn good for a PS2 game, as did God of War 1.

Because I have my Playstation F*nboy Goggles (TM) on, that's why!rounin said:How is it that you can see this game looks good from such a low quality video

Kratos = new God of War???
SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO NEVER FINISHED GOW
Well, at the end of GOW, Kratos becomes the new God of War, with his palace, throne and all that...
It will be interesting to see how they twisted the story to make a game out of this, either by making him "normal" again, or... well that's all i can think of, cause the God of War shouldn't be battling with simple monsters like those, he should flick a finger and off they go, like Ares, the previous God of War, used to do.
END OF SPOILERS
And even from a low quality video like this, you can still see that the animation is amazing cause you can see how things move. Plus, if they retain the detail of the first game, this is bound to look great, for a PS2 game obviously. And i've also just noticed self-shadowing, which is amazing for a game of this kind of detail, on PS2!

SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO NEVER FINISHED GOW
Well, in the trailer, he's not wearing the God of War's armor, instead back to his old kilt and topless. Which may imply that either he's no longer a god or he was not yet a god. But at the end of the trailer during the aerial combat, it seems as though Pegasus is with Kratos. I would think that only a god (or a demi god) could ride the horse. I'm not really sure myself (continuation, prequel?).
I have not played the original GOW in a while so I can't remember very well [how it looks], so in the trailer (GOW2) is Kratos using the blades Ares gave him or the blades Athena gave him? Hmm, maybe as a god, he can't interfere with human affair, so the supreme lords took some of his powers and made him a demi god. I just hope they execute the [plot] transition well.

MORE SPOILERS FOR THOSE SADDOS WHO NEVER FINISHED GOW
Well, after all that fuss about Athena giving him new blades, he better have them in the new game straight away!! To be honest, i'm not sure what they will do, if not being more powerful, which wouldn't really work in the new game as he can't be super-powered straight away.
For the game to work, he either is underpowered, gaining points as you progress in the game, like the first game, or the enemies are REALLY bad-ass straight away. In the end it might just become a Dragonball Z kind of situation where your hero becomes more and more powerful, but the eneimes do as well, which in the end makes no difference to us gamers apart from the amount of destructions your hero is capable of.
If GOW2 is a "prequel", i'll throw up. I've SO had enough of bleeping "prequels". I do have a feeling it will be, though.

How about Kratos having a son? His demi-god son could have to fulfill some mission to prove himself, just like Hercules (the original myth and not the f*cking TV series). This way the could still have some improvements from GOW without continuity problems

Mmmm i really think the prequel option will be the most logical... sadly... Kratos has a hell of a past, i'm sure Sony will milk it for all its worth.

Dammit, they shouldn't call it GOW2 then, but GOW Prime.
Anyway, prequelitis is the offspring of sequelitis. Both are serious diseases if overdone.Personally, I prefer continuing a story and implementing important events in the main characters past by flashback, etc. Moreover, it's not necessary to explain everything (aka the Matrix Reloaded / Revolution syndrome), some things are better left unexplained and unexplorer. That's much more intriguing, in my opinion.
Sry, for the rant...
BTW, continuing on my version of GOW2: Kratos' son finally kills Kratos just like Zeus did Chronos.

That's why i hate, detest, despise prequels. I'm the kind of guy who, when he finishes something, wants to know what happens NEXT. The whole point of finishing games and movies and books is that your imagination works overtime imagining what might happen next.... prequels go to the complete opposite direction, which is just... frustrating for someone like me...
I want to see how Kratos handles hiw new job as God of War for god's sake, i don't care how mane people he killed before the story shown in the first game!!
rounin said:I supposed Im to hang my head in shame now for not finishing GOW. My excuse : school.
Anyways, thanks for the explanations guys. And for the record I must commend londonboy for spotting self shadowing from that awful video...
Actually, and i guess even more freakily, i'm quite sure it's Kratos's shadow on the monster he's ripping to shreds... The monster doesn't cast a shadow on itself, but Kratos shadow is cast on it... The first game also behaved like this...
Wait Wait Wait!!!
Check this out!!
PHEEEW!!! So it's not a prequel!
Check this out!!

Double Kane-Yeah! So it's no prequel. I am very keen on knowing why Kratos leaves the Olympus. Maybe there's an intrigue among the gods and goddesses. That would fit pretty well in the Greek mythology scenario.

Yeah he gets more and more gay as time goes. I mean, walking out of the Olympus just because the other gods keep bitching about each other is just drama queen-ness.
