God of War will have a variety of difficulty settings designed to appeal to all different tastes. At the extreme ends of the spectrum, there’ll be a Story Mode for beginners who just want to experience the narrative, while character action veterans will be able to pick a hard option that has its own save file and can’t be changed. Most importantly, this completely retunes the campaign.
“We did a ton of stuff to make it a genuine challenge, not a cynical increase,” creative director Cory Barlog told Rolling Stone about the toughest tier. “Enemies are all changed up. We changed the attack patterns of things; it’s hugely different.”
Even more importantly, whichever difficulty you play on, you’ll be able to continue exploring and searching the world once the credits have rolled. It sounds like there may even be some kind of added New Game Plus element as well, although we haven’t found any firm confirmation for that at the time of typing. Good stuff, eh?

Glad to hear they haven't cut the sex scenes completely. Choices people!
What about a 'normal' mode where I don't get my arse kicked, but one that still poses a challenge?
@Octane No such thing. Gotta git gud with the axe or wield a feather duster. That's what real gamers do
@Rudy_Manchego I'm going with the axe then!
@Octane Yeah there’s a standard setting too, of course!
@get2sammyb ''variety of difficulty settings'' ''At the extreme ends'' Woah! It's almost as if you cleverly hid the answer in the article already. Maybe I should read them more thoroughly!
Love the sound of all of this. New Game + is always welcome, too.
@Octane Just jump to conclusions like the rest of the internet by reading the headline.
Hopefully in casual mode Kratos will waer chinos and a striped shirt.
@starhops Hah, I've been wondering for years why they put all these 'words' in their articles. What are they for!? Do they hold any crucial information pertaining the article headline? Will we ever know!?
I've never played a GoW game, but all this hype is making me want to. That and playing as a burly, bearded man who cuts up enemies with an axe sounds amazing.
You see, there are several modes to pick from:
Casual
Baby
Man
Hardcore, and
Bloodborne.
On the hardest mode, Kratos has to have a difficult conversation with his son after catching him in a compromising situation.
I hope we can go through to new game plus (if there is) on the hard difficultly, cant wait for this
If you beat it on ultra hard, Kratos turns to the kid and says "word up, son". Then his son dabs. Got a mate who works at Sony Santa Monica and he told me that so it is 100% true.
Love new game +. Fairly obvious they're going to copy red dead 1, though, isn't it?
