So, it looks like they're going to remake God of War, which is a pretty big deal. The original games were really the standard that all action-adventure games on the PlayStation had to live up to, mostly because they were huge, had cool stories that were based on mythology, and looked amazing.
The buzz around the circuit is that this new project is set to go back to the early stories of Kratos with new graphics, better combat mechanics, and improved speed on the new consoles. Instead of a simple revamp of the old game, this new one is set to mean completely new models, shadows, and motion paths, as well as improvements to make it easier to control. The entire experience may be for a new generation of gamers, but it will also give old fans a new perspective on the old experience.
Going back to the original games may also help to seamlessly integrate the classic Greek myth with the more contemporary Norse tales. By retaining the essential elements of rage, aftermath, and redemption, but revamping how they are delivered, the remake could very well be the best way to tell the origins of the series. With the love for quality reboots among fans, this would certainly ensure the continued success of the series.
With rumors now circulating, there is interest in what a remake of the God of War trilogy could look like. If it were to come to pass, it would prove that classic games have relevance on new hardware, emphasizing the importance of storytelling and accuracy at Santa Monica Studio. The news will trickle out slowly, details on the reach systems involved, when it comes.
