It was honestly what I was looking forward to most, and then I played Hellblade.
GoW4 will be doing very well to come anywhere close to that games depiction of Norse mythology.
I've been really wanting to play this too but haven't bought it yet. Maybe Norse games will become the new zombies.

Me too they seems to making a much more realize world then their other GOW games.
Seems it just a happy coincidence, I really cannot recommend Hellblade highly enough, doubly so if you were interested in the Norse aspect.
This chapter's marketing is absolutely awesome.
Not a lot of games had this number and quality of trailers, this vid is fantastic, beatifully illustrated and narrated, this is exactly what non-gameplay trailers should be like.

In the E3 trailer last year a female character makes reference to Kratos killing the Greek gods. I don't recall exactly what she said but IIRC it will definitely be an issue in the game.
She says that he is "an outsider", nothing about killing the Greek gods.
I can honestly swear I remember some reference to what Kratos had done.
There was that vase with his image with the blades of chaos, but i don't remember someone directly mentioning his past.
"long way from home arn't you, and here i thought your kind was suppose to be so enlightened, so much better than us"
this could be a reference to the idea that the greeks were superior to the "barbarians of the north" yet they happened to have their civilization destroyed by Kratos

A story within any myth is told at the discretion of the teller. That is why there are often multiple versions of same myth or in Athena's case, completely different versions of her "origin story". When in comes to Norse, things get even more complicated because there is no hard rules and most of the stories are lost to time. That is what they are treating this game as, Lost Pages of Prose Edda. Santa Monica made shit up when they were doing Greek mythology as well. Sometimes it is necessary change things so that it fits with the story they are trying to tell. This is Santa Monica's version of Norse mythology. Besides, even in this episode no one is doing things that are completely out of character. Thor is Thor, Odin is still cunning motherfucker and poor Tyr just goes along with whatever rest of the Aesirs are scheming.
