The God of War Remastered Collection could add one thing to make it more complete

The first three highways God of war According to recent rumors, the games may be remade. The scope of these possible remasters is currently unclear, and they likely won't see a Scandinavian-level overhaul God of war sagas, but Sony definitely still has the ability to do cool, unexpected things with them.




By far the most obvious changes rumored to be coming are visual fidelity and technical capabilities. We put the older one God of war games on PS5 will open the door to more advanced VFX, higher resolutions and better, more stable frame rates, in addition to modern graphics features like detailed textures and longer draw distances. But the more complex and interesting question is how such remasters can change the gameplay or even the stories of these classic games: perhaps they can add weapons or alternative control schemes, or even new cutscenes and dialogues, enhancing the mechanical and narrative elements found in the original releases. Naturally, these kinds of changes are much more ambitious and can be flawed, but there is at least one way in which such new content can benefit the original trilogy and God of war series as a whole.

God of War shows that old PlayStation IPs may only get one chance to get a second lease on life

There are plenty of old PlayStation IPs that deserve a comeback, and God of War demonstrates that there may only be one way to do it.

It is still unclear how Kratos ended up in Scandinavia

After stormy events in God of War 3Kratos seemingly sacrifices himself with the Blade of Olympus by driving it deep into his torso. But the post-credits scene shows a trail of blood leading from where Kratos “died” to the edge of the platform he was on, strongly suggesting that he survived. Of course, viewers will get confirmation that he survived God of war in 2018, but the game doesn't dwell on any specific explanation for it.


Kratos' much-discussed transition into mythology is largely open to interpretation, as the intervening years between his debacle in Greece and his new life in Scandinavia are only covered in the context of his relationships with the Fae and Atreus. In a way, this is appropriate as a new era God of war meant to be a new beginning for Kratos, and it's not that hard to lose faith in his mythological shift. But nevertheless, there is value in the prospect of closing this inexplicable gap.

Showing players how Kratos ended up in Scandinavia would be interesting and valuable, even if it was just a glimpse. For example, perhaps a new post-credits scene could feature a wounded Kratos trudging across Europa, illustrating how he dealt with his supposed fatal wound from the Blade of Olympus. Alternatively or additionally, God of warThe complicated timeline could be clarified by showing how Kratos actually arrived in the Norse lands, as this would establish the length of his stay in this new region – there is evidence in the game that it could be north of 100 years to early 2018 God of war.


But anything beyond these hypothetical scenes, or maybe some other little easter eggs, might be a bridge too far. There is some mystique in this God of war franchise, which not only makes it more interesting, but actually unifies the story: to delve too deeply into the relationship between the Norse and Greek mythology illustrations in the series would be to run into various contradictions, such as the coexisting creation myths, which could be did not easily reconcile. To avoid these messy problems, a good degree of ambiguity must remain intact.
