Where do you guys think the next God of War will be set? Will he move onto a different set of gods? Or something completely different?
But if they go to a new setting outside of Greek Mythology is it still God of War or a new IP entirely?I really have no idea what could be next. Egyptian gods is the most obvious answer, but do you change the hero in that case? No matter what they do, it will piss SOMEONE off. I'd like to see a new hero personally, but I know a lot of people may hate that.
That's a great idea, but as @BigPete7978 said, at that point would it be more worth it to just change the IP name? How different can you truly make it and still retain the GOW title?I would like GOW to take the modern setting while still fighting the gods of the old and new (just like the book American Gods by Neil Gaiman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Gods ). Old gods living the life of normal people with ordinary jobs (athena as a teacher, zeus as a politician, venus as an "entertainer" etc...)
maybe not GOW title but at least it should be made by the same team.That's a great idea, but as @BigPete7978 said, at that point would it be more worth it to just change the IP name? How different can you truly make it and still retain the GOW title?
Isn't that kind of how the Percy Jackson series is? I've only seen the movies so I am not sure.I would like GOW to take the modern setting while still fighting the gods of the old and new (just like the book American Gods by Neil Gaiman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Gods ).

percy jackson is the kiddy version American Gods was for adults and was published before percy jackson was. American Gods was supposed to be a tv series before Game of Thrones got picked up by hbo.Isn't that kind of how the Percy Jackson series is? I've only seen the movies so I am not sure.
So HBO was supposed to air the American Gods show? Any chance of them using the rights to show at a later time?percy jackson is the kiddy version American Gods was for adults and was published before percy jackson was.

Any modern setting would suck so bad. Its supposed to be ancient. But, with the way ascension went, i wouldn't be supprised if it was set during world war 2.
You have to read American Gods or Anansi Boys before concluding that modern setting would suck for the Gods. Maybe you've only seen Percy Jackson and some of the Young Adult books turned into crappy movies that's why you have that opinion.Any modern setting would suck so bad. Its supposed to be ancient.

I dont want to see skyscrappers and shit in a GOW game. Why not just set it in outter space? The ancient setting is a major part of the game. It would lose so much being set in present day. I know many people believe in many gods nowadays, but they arent steeped in legend the same way greek and roman gods are. I would very much like to destroy modern gods, but not with kratos.chichi said:You have to read American Gods or Anansi Boys before concluding that modern setting would suck for the Gods.

The setting, not just landscape, is a huge part of the series. I know there are modern gods, but they arent viewed the same as Greek gods are. Itd be like setting zelda in Manhattan.There are many gods prevalent in the world today. Only the landscape would change, not the core content of the series itself.
