They are. Almost literally.

I'm gona go out and say right now that this game isn't happening, same as I did for DMC2. It doesn't exist and anyone who says otherwise is clearly insane.

In all seriousness, I'm kind of hoping Kratos goes north and they do the Norse pantheon next.

Sort of a tangent game, with Loki toying with Kratos as he fights all the Norse gods, might be a functional premise.

I'd like a game where you have to kill YHWE and his somewhat nicer persona Jesus.

Just to witness the shit that will undoubtedly be stirred up by the same people who found fully visible female breasts offensive.

Boobs, deicide; What's the difference?

Especially when it's a deity that is commonly believed in all of a sudden.

I vaguely recall mention that the GoW universe might stick around for some games, but Kratos wouldn't be in them.

Of course, I wonder if this means they'll find a way to bring back Deimos(sp?).

Wait, I thought that was Russians. Or is that just movies?

i've played enough GoW games to call them shit. THey are shit. Shit that look nice from time to time. When they are telling Side Stories or Flashbacks they use Subtitles, when the tale is moving Forward they use numbers.

Kratos destroyed THE WORLD last time and all gods in his realm. And it was marketed as the Conclusion of that Saga and His Saga. So i'm guessing ANY game they pull off now is coming after the age of those gods (i guess) and it should have another hero... but who are we kidding, they will just milk off Kratos.

Are we sure this is not a fake?

But how do the monkeys and swarms of flesh-eating ants fit into this?

Well, sort of; the Romans assimilated gods from pretty much everyone relevant they conquered and adapted them for their own preferences, the Greek pantheon merely being the most prolific. The Romans (up till the rise of Christianity) had a peculiar form of religious tolerance in that they were like, "Y'know, that's a pretty neat god you guys are worshipping. We'll do the same!"

Also, while they had equivalents to nearly all the Greek gods, the Roman versions weren't quite the massive assholes the Greek versions were. Jupiter, for instance, wasn't Rapist King Of The Universe like Zeus was.
