A new God of War: Ghost of Sparta trailer has been released titled ‘Origins’ – which provides a glimpse of the endless nightmares that continue to haunt Kratos.
The following message has gone up on the EU PS Blog:
“You will notice that Kratos’ brother Deimos makes an appearance in the trailer. To reward all of the God of War fans who purchase the game, I’m really excited to tell you that you will receive an EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOAD voucher in the Ghost of Sparta box that unlocks the Deimos character skin for God of War III on PS3.
So relive the God of War III experience like never before as you get to PLAY as Kratos’ brother, Deimos, who benefits from enhanced combat damage and 4x the Health, Magic and Gold Orbs, giving you the ultimate rage-fuelled Spartan!

LATE!!!!!!
CaptainMurdo
What? I didn’t know we had a timetable for each story?
Sorry, Miss. I’ll stay behind after class.

lol, i was saying late to Santa Monica, for making us wait this long for ANYTHING new for GOW, and a costume (regardless of how cool) is too little too late.

Looking forward to this loved GOW III

4 X the health. This may mean i do the game on the hardest difficulty.

Don’t think this’ll have trophies enabled with using the skin tho..

Correct. Completing GoW 3 on Chaos mode is one of my big gaming accomplishments :)

So basically they’ve taken Kratos’s semi-mysterious brother and turned him into a cheat code.

Too bad I have a PSP go, and thus will be getting screwed over once again by Sony. Thanks. Way to support your customers.
On a side note, Ghost of Sparta looks epic, and is a day 1 purchase for me anyway.

That’s a great point, what about the download purchasers? You’d hope they’d be emailed the code or something surely?
Regardless, sympathies on being a GO owner mate.

and suddenly all the hints toward Kratos’ Brother in God of War III become clear :-D
PoorPaddy89
I don’t like the brother idea, but I think it’ll work better as a handheld spinoff than a story in a proper numbered sequel (i.e. GoW 4). Hopefully my worries will be wrong and the story will work :)

I didn’t realise Ghost of Sparta was going to cover the Kratos brother concept, I always thought that looked an interesting idea.

I was wondering when they were going to address Kratos’ brother. Wasn’t there a secret clip with him at the end of GoW?
PoorPaddy89
One of the bonus videos, yeh. Kratos’ brother was cast out of Spartan society for being too weak and died, developing hate for Kratos in Hades. There’s a video of Kratos’ mother telling Krats about his father too. From the looks of things, they seem to be keeping these stories as canon.
