- This was the most epic moment I have experienced at E3 since the Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty trailer from E3 2001. The PlayStation Nation and the gaming community as a whole came together in a big way that day. Thank you for watching.

Yes
Boyyy who are these men running across the field at me 😂😂

Then they had the audacity to release yet another masterpiece after this😭
How dare they 😁
😤😤😤
Literally flexed on every game that came out this year
@@jadon2740 Except for Elden Ring but both games are equal in my eyes.
@@Samconery Elden ring has nothing in comparison than this, I bought that last month put 3 hours in and just wasn't living up to the hype. The graphics on the other hand are garbage compared and the story line. Just dead game literally. But just my opinion
No sugarcoating, no lies, real gameplay. That's how you reveal a game. Games should not be published if they can't meet the expectations set at the reveal.
Amen
And we have the days before there .
Expectations were exceeded in the actual game:
- Blades of Chaos returning
- Kratos recalling all of the PS2/PSP/PS3 adventures
- Young Kratos as a GoW skin
- God of War 2 theme in the Valhalla DLC
+ BONUS
Atreus finally leaving Kratos at the end of the game xd That's the moment that many people waited for as well.
@@kacperzimowski4626 3/4 of those arent in this game specifically.
@@kacperzimowski4626wtf are u talking about. All the things u mentioned are mostly in ragnarok only. Only 2 of ur points are in gow 2018
Only Kratos could make grown up men scream like little girls
And Snake, possibly Solid Snake.
@@Playstationhaven you damn right
?
@@Playstationhaven You left out Aloy, Ellie, Spider-Man, Miles, Cloud, Nathan Drake, and other Playstation A-listers too!
TheResilient5689 they are all great but I don’t think they would reduce grown men to tears, at least not right now. With what happened to Metal Gear and Kojima I think a reveal trailer with Solid Snake appearing might get the same response as Kratos did here.
The moment PlayStation won the console wars
You mean grown men arguing over which hunk of plastic is better 😂😂
Aaron Seidl You’d rather want grown men arguing over which hunk of metal is better? Oh wait, that was the Cold War.
@@ttime441 ok this was officially the best cold war joke I have read in the internet
Pretty sure Uncharted 4 gave us that moment
jimmy johnson PlayStation has way better exclusives
just finished Ragnarok and came back to watch this. still gives me goosebumps
So awesome I remember watching e3 and screaming 😂
Same here bro, same goosebumps as the first time. What a great series.
Same
I got the Platinum trophy last night and I feel such a sense of loss because I just wanted to stay in that world forever. I never got all the trophies in the 2018 game so I wanted to make up for that. I don’t know what’s next for Kratos but I will definitely be playing it.
@@ValiantPixel Agreed.
As someone who was in orchestra, the cheers make so happy!!!!!
:0 whoa! Awesome!! :D
I play trombone and l can imagine how it is to play a piece that evokes as much power as the GOW theme. I would have loved to play among that orchestra in that moment.
Same here bro! The music for this game was off the damn charts!!!
Is there a recording of yall playing it somewhere? I love the little differences from the studio version
The music felt as if the musicians were summoning kratos back from the dead
They were performing a ritual
thats like the best game reveal ive ever seen. I wish I was there to experience that.
I wish the people recording were silent and not yelling and clapping during the presentation
RIGHTTT
@@joaquimgianini1234 thats why you search for the trailer, not a e3 reveal. Most e3 reveal videos are just people filming them. You can find the trailers from the reveal elsewhere.

He was persistent and spot on
It was my dream to attend E3, but now that dream is gone.
Rest in peace E3 , you will be missed.
What happened I’ve been under a rock
@@Conky88 e3 is dead, bc sony, microsoft, nintendo and all the big players stop attending e3 (showcases through the internet become more viable), plus the conference itself was getting worse little by little every year. it just dies in the most anti climatic way ever
edit: covid is also a contributing factor i suppose
@@Conky883 2023 got cancelled due to covid and lack of interest apparently
@@Conky88e3 and the gaming industry sucks
@@Conky88there is an industry shift towards independent company based directs instead of large multi company events like e3. Nintendo is probably to blame due to the massive success of their directs. Ultimately less and less companies wanted to attend e3. E3 2023 2024 and 2025 were all cancelled. There will probably never be an e3 again.
11:09 I always liked this bit of characterization from Kratos. Sure, he's probably a bit frustrated that Atreus accidentally shot him, but it also comes off to me as he understood the intensity of the situation as opposed to Atreus missing the deer earlier where it wasn't as dire.
true. patience to teach his son and let him learn from mistakes. The Norse saga made wonders with the characters.
What type of father wouldn't see that? Common sense.
@@justinberg3616 No, for sure. I just think it's a neat bit, especially considering Kratos did yell at Atreus earlier and considering that I personally think Kratos from games prior to this one would have probably been a deal more pissed that his son shot him XD

REVO Its BOI
This was the perfect reboot because it was a perfect demonstration that you connect with the audience gamers for what they want to play. God of War was THE game that came out for highschool teens and young men who played it for the most testosterone pumping, hype inducing game fit for hormone fueled boys who wanted to be like Kratos for being such a savage badass. Now they made a game much closer to that generation's age, where Kratos is now a next level badass who has to confront even stronger foes; the challenge of parenthood, to restrain his self destructive anger and surviving as a foreign exile god against another group of gods who want them dead. Cory Barlog wisely cashed in and succeeded in his gambit for a target audience who he knows will want to play the game and it was revolutionary because he brought back a game that is played in a different perspective.
This isn't really much of a reboot, more of a continuation from God of War 3. Other than that, completely agree with your comment.
Its not really a reboot, yes everything is different but it still connects to the past gow games
@@kaishajacobye Its a soft reboot
@@TheGameTripleH97 NO
@@TheGameTripleH97 not a reboot but a sequel
"Now youre ready"
"For what?"
"A new beginning"
Not just for atreus, but us, years later and its still one of the best game reveal ever
the dude saying “my heart, my heart cant take this”. absolute mood during this
Someone litteraly felt like having a heart attack lol. thats how you reveal a game!
@6:36
Natural selection. Dude has a micropenis
Slice Of Life 1985 wow..
King Crimson....wtf are you doing here, your supposed to be behind me
in this trailer the troll comes from the bridge and in the game its different. But its great because when you cross the bridge in the game, atreus actually says “i expected there to be a troll under that bridge”. Pretty clever line to add right there haha. I love the passion this games has
Yeah its like atreus went into the past and future
@@KxrbonTh30ry it's actually like talking to the player (as if he have watched the E3 GOW reveal where the troll comes out at the bridge) so the player is being ready but it didn't happen
Also another reason for it could be that we know that the world serpent fought thor in ragnorak which occurs sometime in the future and was sent back into the past before he was born by odin which may have had a cataclysmic effect throughout the realms. In the original mythology, Loki is a actually the father of the World Serpent as well, which is why the World Serpent seems to recognize who Atreus is. And so Atreus instinctually felt that a troll would be there because he had been there before without even knowing it. To add on to that, there is a mural at the end of the game when they are in Jotunheim, which shows Kratos dying in Atreus’s arms which shows a snake coming out from the mouth of Atreus which could be how the world serpent was born
Dai Funka I believe so, since the world serpent from the future was sent back in time to before he was born, so it would make sense if the the world serpent from the future meets the version of himself from when he is eventually born by coming out of Loki’s mouth
Loki has gotta know everything!
Watching this after beating Ragnarok just fills me with a feeling of joy and comfort. Like I'm among fellow people who love these games.
It’s the same thing for me! This all makes me so happy :’)
This!
Same!
7:29 this line hits different knowing what happens in ragnorok…
*Just imagine how great it was for the developers to hear these reactions*
I can only imagine
Not that great as it seens, as they are trying to fucking kill Kratos on the next game.
@@youknowwho257 did the dev said that? If you got that info from that last scene in the game that is stil a ? If its gonna happen since his name is not loki he kinda denied that fate
All those years of work finally paid off. Glad to have the monster back.
Iosif Belea kinda stole my comment there bud😂
Btw, this is a real gameplay trailer. Cory Barlog was playing behind the curtains. He had to memorise when to hit and when to get hit.
Imagine how funny it would be if Cory died like 3 times in a row
@@mattgoyeau It would be funny :D
But they change the damage and other things for the trailers. So basically its nearly impossible to die :)
Megamen ya I assumed they tweaked it to make the gameplay look better
bro it took Cory Barlog a while to activate spartan rage so someone prob told him to do spartan rage 🤣🤣
Yeah he was playing it, but they had boundaries set in place so it looks better and you don't just go walking into objects lol
6 years later this reveal still draws tears to my eyes at the performance and amazing positive reaction of the audience. I wish I was there! Even before the visual reveal, people knew by the MUSIC what it was, so freaking cool!
People knew by the voice that is Kratos even though is a completely different voice actor.
Music is completely different from any other GOW so I doubt that
Well I guess you could argue the chanting is similar to Rage of Sparta and The End Begins
I LOVE the energy of this crowd. The energy started high, and only got higher. Also shout out to the one guy who absolutely SNIPED it when he saw atreus and said "oh shit God of War 4?" Dunno how you knew, but gg
My dude is still hearting comments after 3 years. What a legend.

I like the fact that back in 2016 this audience sat through about 5 minutes of classical music with no understanding of what they were listening to or why. Today if the average PS owner hears 3 notes from that track, they know exactly what it is and exactly what is coming.
It was a song from God of war
@@camzilla603boy12 no shit sherlock
Let's be honest though, just about every PlayStation fan who heard this music at E3 2016, even though they were only hearing it for the first time, knew INSTANTLY that it was God of War. That's the genius of Bear McCreary.
Classical? Just because it's real instruments and not FL Studio?
@@trmbne - Is there a competition going on to see who can write the dumbest comment here? It's classical because it has a conducter, timpani, a chior, a strings section, a brass section and a woodwind section.
Everything about it is classical. What the hell do you think it is? Reggae?
I just love this, the moment they see Kratos, EVERYONE freaks out. You can hear the joy and love they all have for this series. Games bring people together, more than we realise
5:23 yo i can hear Jirard "The Completionist" saying "IT'S GOD OF WAR FOUR, IT'S GOD OF WAR FOUR" Like he told us in his game review video 😂😂😂

This the best way to reveal a game, straight up awesome gameplay, no trailers no teasers, well done Sony
One of them said "none of that is real"
They were right
It looks much better after release
Looks pretty much the same actually. Maybe slightly better, but just barely. Obviously not 'much better'
Avratin it actually there's a lot of diff between reveal and retail, and all for the better. Colors look more vibrant, story is more complex than seen from reveal, and even the playing mechanics changed so yeah a lot changed and for the better.

THE best game reveal ever.
God of War is the first game in living memory that not only met the hype, but also surpassed it. God of War is close to perfect.
CDM_Enigma I agree. Glad to hear about others having fun with the game.
I agree, I cant find anything wrong with this game besides the fact you dont get a trophy for beating it on the God Of War difficulty -_-. A lot of games dont hold my attention like this. I hate to say it, but it really lowered my expectations for red dead and last of us, which are my favorites, because of how great this was. Caught me by surprise because I didn't think much of the God Of War series. I'm sure Red Dead and especially Last Of Us will still be great games, but GOW set the bar way too high
__ __ God of War is very story driven, rather than combat driven. The option is there for those want want the difficulty, but in mind, it's a game to be savored and enjoyed, but not a game to overly challenge the player. It's much more exploration driven as well.
__ __ At least we know what the Game of the Year is! Unless RDR 2 and TLOU 2 somehow surpass it.
CDM_Enigma
I play the hardest difficulty on games because it makes me feel more accomplished when I finally beat it. Sounds corny but once you do it once, can't stop doing it. Also makes you get the most out your money.
I can see Last of us challenging this game but maybe not so much for red dead. Rockstars story are very Hollywoodish although red dead was their masterpiece. I just don't see them doing much with the sequel

It must have been amazing to be in the crowd that day. GOW is such an amazing series.
Cory Barlog was nervous out of his mind right before this reveal, little did he know, the fans were all behind him with this game.
That shows why he is the best game director for the job. Not only was he involved in the beginning, but he's still humble about it, rather than being cocky about his accomplishments. He directs like he still has something to prove, even though he's created some of the greatest games ever. I can't wait for Ragnarök, it actually comes out on my birthday. So I think I'm gonna be "sick" the next 2 weeks after release.
I would be nervous too. Taking Kratos into a brand new mythology was a huge risk. It had to be amazing to work, and it was. Creators are often, even in the face of amazing work, their biggest critics and wonder if the public will love it as much as they do.
@@Kratosx23 yeah Cory is great. 2-3 months ago when the game was near finished the whole team and Cory weren't satisfied they were scared and said that the game wasn't ready and what they were going to do.

I LOVE how we all agree that this game is perfect, especially when all the fan screamed when kratos showed up.👾
still get chills moments like this is what E3 was all about
It flawlessly lived up to all the hype
I agree
Jake Bailey It gets 10 BOI out of 10
It surpassed the hype
Jake Bailey it’s only flaw is that it ended. I want more.
Yeah , it totally lived up the hype... Beautiful game
Everyone when they saw Atreus: *"Oh this already looks like a boring game”*
When Kratos reveals himself: *"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH"*
As soon as they heard "BOY" 🤣
His name wasn't boy?

@@bigmanwildin2216 lol
I still come back to this video every now and then. I watched this live and when Kratos came out of the darkness, I absolutely lost it. God of War has been my all time favourite series since i played the first back when i was 9 years old. After hearing Santa Monica has confirmed they're working on a new game, i with them well it its a new IP but i really hopenits another God of War masterpiece like the 2018 entry ❤
Dude the orchestra in the beginning was so badass the best theme song I've ever heard
At 5:52 they intentionally made him be still and quiet for a few seconds because they knew the crowd were gonna go crazy.
Oh shit. Yes
Are you not aware these games were literally PLAYED live? They had a PS4 and monitor set up in a booth or whatever they're called, up high on the side. Cory Barlog, who directed God Of War, was playing the demo. If you watch the God Of War E3 2016 live gameplay demo, on here, it shows him playing on the right of the screen, and shows his hands on the controller, so people knew it was legit gameplay. There was also a bunch of the game's developers in the audience, and they all said they did not expect the crowd to react like that.
@@cmcproductions26 what does that have to do with anything? I'm talking about the cutscene not the gameplay. Have you been to the movies where an actor says a joke and there's a small bit of silence since they know the crowd will laugh. After years do you really think the crowd was gonna stay quiet after seeing kratos?
@@1Guason3 Jeesh. Calm down fella. No need to get so defensive. I was merely stating a fact. I thought you meant right when the gameplay starts, and Kratos stays still for a few seconds, before beginning to walk. Not when he paused for a couple seconds, after saying "I am hungry"
@@cmcproductions26 well if you would've clicked on the timestamp in my original comment you would've known lol
It's funny because before this was shown, everyone saw GoW as a dead franchise. Kratos as a lost character. Most thought if they did continue the franchise the character would have to be replaced.
Then this happened. Then the Game of the Year happened. Man what a job Santa Monica did. Truly one of the most awe inspiring games I have EVER played.
Commendable. Even having played the game multiple times already. Can't help but smile wide at these reactions. Gotta love the dude in the back saying " none of that is real " lmao. You know you have created greatness when it is all so good people think it has to be fake

Never played Ascension but I believe that was when people lost hope in GOW. Quickly did Santa Monica pick up after their mistakes. Truly, a praiseworthy gaming studio full of passion and love for their games. The attention to detail, character development, visual graphics, soundtrack, lore, gameplay, and most of all, THE PAYOFFS 💯❤️🔥
you should try the previous games,they are as good or better in my opinion
Actually I had my mind made up after GoW 3 and even though it was really great I was sure not to play another God of War if the Gameplay/Fighting would be the same again. I've had enough of this iso perspectiv combo fight stuff.
Then that happen.
Man did I enjoy ripping Sigrun into pieces
They did replace the person that played Kratos but i don't mind it
@@AsianEyes007 People didnt hate the game but it was never considered a insane AAA game tier. It was always a fun hack and slash with a good story.(And after 3 nobody saw how they could do the same formula again) Nobody expected them to go 180 and make the most insane game ever in every aspect.
To this day this remains the GREATEST live conference reveal in the history of gaming! Still gives me chills 6 years later!
Also I have to compliment all the musicians and the singers too and especially the composer Bear Mccreary all of them made this possible! thank you so much for this masterpiece of an OST! Also have too add that I feel a bit sorry for the people that understand Old Norse or Icelandic since the entire game pretty much got spoiled through the lyrics of the OST and also gotta add the OST is so beautiful it makes me cry every time I hear it especially around 4:07 when the lyrics basically say “He Needs A Father Not A God” such a good soundtrack!
Even kratos orchestra Theme is like anger and forgiveness trying to fight each other.
And now here we are, ready for a new beginning, again. Gow5 ❤️
Haha, right? Ragnorak is coming boys. Wonder how they’re going to handle during Fimbulwinter.
Heck yeah
With a little drop of BLADE OF OLYMPUS
Im afraid something gonna happen to kratos in the new game
@@alfidolan2258 he’s definitely going to die. It’s time
Man, I really hope God of War 5 is announced soon
Update: just realized God of war 5 was announced! Can't wait for it to come out!
@Dionysian Beast yeah, but WE STILL HAVE TO GET A WHOLE NEW CONSOLE.
@@nathanlaughlin5380 I mean, I will only but the ps5 if GoW5 is announced on it. Worth the money cause they'll be 2 GoW games on the ps5 I believe.
I know it ain’t the same at all and I don’t know if that’s true or not but i heard something about that they’ll make a god of war comic book or something that fills the gap between 3 and 4 . Like what happened after killing zeus and how kratos traveled to midgard
@Dionysian Beast nah bro. they got everything only things are gameplay and level design. vory said that he already wrote the story of the second game while directing the first one. and the engine is set and ready to be used. it only needs to be upgraded to ps5
@Dionysian Beast not realy bro... I think 2022 will be out. Can t fuckin wait to see hiw will look the next game on ps5 4k 60 fps
You know they're going to show you a very special game when they had an actual orchestra and group of choirs to do the game ost live.
A Masterclass on how to resurrect an icon!
