Why no thread!? Looks suitably amazing. I'm so glad it's on PS4 but it should have been a 5 exclusive to maximise the sex of it.
Kinda love the look of Thor, just a large slob after doing what ever he wished for so long.
There wasn't a release window was there?

Good shout. I, too, am pumped for this.

Saw quite a bit of noise of Thor's depiction, but he's got the build of a modern strongman. The chiselled body-builder look is more popular but it's less functionally strong, and is probably more in keeping with how Thor was depicted in the original myths. Dude lower the sea level and created the tides by drinking a shit load from a magical horn, he's going to have a big gut.

Looked incredible. The combat looked so satisfyingly meaty. Can't wait.

They should have really riled the “I only know Thor from the MCU” idiots and given him a tiny hammer like more classic depictions.  |

Didn’t he also get his absurd strength from his belt in the myths as well? Not from any kind of muscle mass.
He looks fine imo.

To be fair he was depicted as being powerfully strong anyway, but the belt megingjord would double his strength.

Yeah, Thor looks spot on imo. This looks like the god who nearly drained an ocean due to some trickery in a drinking competition, not the chiseled pecs of some Aussie actor.
I really need to give the last game another chance (already had two failed attempts)

I really need to give the last game another chance (already had two failed attempts) I tried a few times as well, but it clicked on the third or fourth and I couldn't stop. It's well worth your time |

The character design in general is top tier in these games. Love the Thor design.

It's so wonderful and progressive how there's now a Jamaican woman in a game about Norse mythology. Diversity is more important than lore or historical accuracy imo. Hopefully there are a few trans characters in there too. And maybe make Kratos gay in this one and have him work through his unconscious biases.

Um, anyone who isn't a bigot and who wants to see diversity and representation in their games.

"Mythology" != "history"
I'm sure they didn't speak English either in the original telling either.

Given scandinavians travelled huge distances to places like North Africa and given their encounters with Moors in Seville and the many criss crossing trade routes your assertation that a black person featuring in this game is somehow impossible is misguided.

I'm a little confused here I have to say... Bigotty McBiggot calls other people bigots.
Wah wah wah this fictional giant in a video game has the wrong colour skin. Get a fucking grip.

Couldn't give a shite if it follows Norse mythology to the letter. It's their game, they can do what the fuck they want with the characters in it and it's hardly been the detriment of its quality up to now.

I wasn't being sarcastic. It's about time Kratos checked his white privilege imo. I hope this new woman of colour takes him to task on his toxic masculinity too.

OK you've made your point of view apparent.
Probably best to move on.

Maybe they’ll put a character with impossibly tiny facial features to represent you

Ahh, the "historical accuracy" racists have arrived to complain about black people in games about mythical creatures
