Would a GOW featuring Kratos fighting gods like Jesus and Mohammad be viable?

[RPGamer92]

Let's say when the next GOW is announced, it show Kratos fighting more renowned deities such as Jesus or Mohammad. Would gamers be accepting of this or would it be too offensive to work?

 

[Deleted member 15428]

Gamers? Maybe. Publishers and shareholders? What do you think?

Also, Mohammad isn't a god

 

[Deleted member 6436]

Might actually cause a war.

No thanks.

 

[Harken Raiser]

Jesus is a big maybe. Mohammad, no.

 

[TheWickedSoul]

Those two are lame tho.

 

[sschol]

Maybe not that.

 

[DNAbro]

Lmao no

 

[Deleted member 36557]

It’s not the gamers I’d be worried about.

 

[Tagyhag]

Oh goodness no, especially Muhammad.

I think they should continue to stick with more mythical (I know I know) deities.

You offend less people like that.

Hell, it'd be cool to see Santa Monica make up their own gods.

 

[BubbleButt64]

I mean why would he wanna fight them though why can't he befriend them



Kratos is a prick

 

[NimbusCub]

I think it'd likely be far too offensive. Greek and Norse mythology are largely retired belief systems. Also, they lend themselves to mysticism and the combat style of GoW far better than Islam or Christianity.

 

[Elfstruck]

Jesus, no.

 

[Ozzie]

Do you want the world to burn?

 

[sambills]

no because violence between gods isnt as prevelant as it is in greek and norse

also those religions only have one “god” so it wouldnt work as well

 

[entremet]

Will never happen since both are highly active and practiced religions. Corporations are very conservative.

 

[Zebei]

It would be an absolute shit show and end horribly for everyone involved

 

[Surface of Me]

You would kill Jesus but he would come back on a day 3 patch.

 

[Brian Damage]

Just fight the Egyptian pantheon, there's enough crazy bastards there.

 

[VDenter]

Thanks now i wanna see a God of War game do this.

 

[MattyG]

No, and it wouldn't really make sense after the way the new game handles the idea of conflict with gods.

 

[dobahking91]

Lmao not happening.

I would love though just for the meltdown

 

[HardRojo]

As incredible as beating the crap out of Jesus with Kratos would be, that isn't happening lol.

 

[Deleted member 7207]

They might want to wait a couple hundred more years before tackling that one, don't want to anger the majority of the planet.

 

[Noctis]

Nah lol I’m surprised people aren’t offended with the portrayal of Jesus in South Park.

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

Wouldn’t Jesus be technically impossible to kill since God cannot die?
Kratos would have a hard time.

Also God would be kinda hard to do in what to picture him. I mean angels and demons and Satan and all that would be neat. Fight Lucifer or Michael.



Also why fight Jesus, he’s a nice dude lol

 

[Imran]

Christianity believes Jesus is the son of God while Islam believes Mohammad is a prophet of God so if a God of War game decided to go with an insane premise like this that is sure to do nothing but court controversy for the sole purpose of edgelording, I hope they do more research than OP.

 

[Fury451]

Why would Jesus fight Kratos?

 

[ComputerBlue]

Not a chance.

The shit storm would be biblical.

Also, neither are Gods.

 

[DerAuto]

Spoiler: God of War Spoiler

GoW only mentions religions of the ancient world like from Egyptians or Aztecs

Apart from the fact that it will never happen and it is a dumb idea: A lot of people would be offended (obviously).

 

[404LinkNotFound]

1) Mohammed isnt a God
2) they belong to active religion, there would be controversy
3) Jesus cant be killed lol

 

[Brian Damage]

Also God would be kinda hard to do. I mean angels and demons and Satan and all that would be neat. Fight Lucifer or Michael

Go the whole hog, have God of War vs Darksiders.

 

[MatrixMan.exe]

Neither are gods, and it would cause a shitstorm so no, it's not viable.

 

[Eumi]

That sounds needlessly mean.

 

[evilmonkey]

Neither of the two is a god.

 

[Wamb0wneD]

Cory needs to live a happy, long life, not get killed by some lunatic. So no.
So far they only went for religions that aren't practiced anymore. Egypt will be the next setting if they are done with killing everyone in the north.

 

[Boiled Goose]

Why would Jesus fight Kratos?

Click to shrink...

Kratos doesn't worship and has clearly sinned.
Kratos gets sent to Chritian hell.
Kills satan.
Goes to Heaven.
Fights Jesus
Jesus turns other cheek.
Roll credits.

 

[MP!]

Jesus would just heal Kratos so It probably wouldn't work

Spoiler

Besides it being extremely offensive... even if you dont think it's sacred ... it is to a vast population including myself

Hmm, the whole point of Jesus Christ is that he's a true man and a true god (and by that I mean he is the God) at the same time, which is why he's the central figure of worship for Christians: through incarnation, Jesus Christ is a tangible link between humanity and God/heaven

Well if you basing it off religion then Jesus is a god :p

 

[Diane]

Never in our lifetime, those are religions that exists today.

 

[Crushed]

a) no

b) this is stupid

c) islam prohibits the depiction of muhammad or any prophet, and jesus is also considered a prophet in islam

d) what would they even do, jesus is not depicted as particularly combative. they're both credited with miracles but more, like, healing and prophecy and mystical signs of nature

e) muhammad isn't a god

f) no

J: I said love thy neighbor!

Commence murdering.

 

[Phendrift]

Some of these GoW threads are gamefaqs tier

 

[Papercuts]

That would never fly, no.

 

[Antiwhippy]

They're both technically prophets.

 

[Farmerboy]

What a ridiculous suggestion op. How could they possibly involve figureheads of "current" religions while keeping culturally sensitive?

C'mon OP.

 

[SofNascimento]

I'd love to see some roman mythology in God of War!

Way too offensive. Nothing good would come out of it.

 

[Deleted member 7756]

Lol. Kratos vs Lucifer.

I kind of want to see this.

Spoiler

Kratos is a beast, but he's not winning that fight.

 

[night814]

I doubt we will ever see either, can you image the backlash potential for both?
