Fans Are Already Debating Whether God of War's PS5 Trilogy Will Cut the Series' Sex Minigames

Kratos was getting his freak on on those games 😁.it's what made the early god of war so legendary. So yes it should stay.word up son

Kingdom come deliverance 2 do what it does,
GTA 5 and GTA 6 do what it does,
So might as well let this game be what it was😉😌😉😌😉😌😉😌

Removal of these minigames would have a great impact on the story and immersion.

They don’t need to censor anything, there will be an age certificate rating of 18 on the game. I am sure anyone of that age can take the scenes and just agree that it’s a typical Kratos situation (Maybe.. 😅)!

I hope they keep them in, just so Jaffe can ***** and moan about it… even though he was more than okay with it at the time.

Greek history/mythology is heavily wrapped up in sexual imagery all over the place so as goofy as they were, I think they fit the overall tone of the games.

Plus, like it was said it's not like they showed Kratos in the act or anything so I say why not? Keep them in!

Copious buckets of mutilation and gore? A-OKAY!
Silly sex scenes and boobies? GET RID OF IT!

I can't stand people with this mindset. Knowing modern PlayStation's strange aversion to nudity in certain cases, I'm sure the sex scenes and nudity will be removed.

Look if sony is going to allow (Goon (Dead) or Alive) or Gooner Blade (Stellar Blade) on their platform, they should not cut these.

They will 100% remove it. Quote me on that if they don't.

I hope they add PlayStation Move support for the sex minigames.

I'm not bothered either way but unless they're going for a complete overhaul, they might as well keep the games as they were, warts and all. We don't really know what to expect from the remakes, but I'm personally more in favour of a comprehensive remaster than a full remake. Think modernized engine and QoL features, but keeping the rest untouched. I don't see how they can keep the scope of the project manageable otherwise.

They should stay in, but there's about a 99.9% chance it's cut.

Also, I haven't really delved into GoW yet so I can't say, but why are they remaking these games in the first place? Other than money obviously.
Isn't the crux of Kratos' characterization in the Norse games reliant on his actions in the original trilogy? Wouldn't changing things start to confuse the narrative? Just seems like a baffling announcement in general rather than moving on to a new setting and pantheon.

I won't particularly care either way in this specific case, but generally speaking I'd much rather remakes not remove content from their originals. Honor the original and maybe add to it, do not subtract.

As for whether they'll actually remove them or not... Most likely yes, and we'll never hear the end of it.

Sex is the same today as it was when these came out. If considered cringe it’s only peoples perception and inability to accept sex for what it is that’s changed. Isn’t it time we stopped wrapping everyone up in cotton wool and grew up?

Leave them in, I want to experience the originals for the first time in their original form not cut or modified to suit current standards. They are only games, no one is forcing anyone to play them and if they did cut that content it wouldn't really be preserving anything. I'd just go and find the originals instead.

I think they should keep it. But with this day and age of social media where attractive female protag and tame af fans service like jiggle bazongas got so much backlash from a "special" group, i think it's safe to say they will completely removed it to avoid the backlash. I mean, some people already complaint that Sony used Kasumi bazongas for DOA 7 thumbnail video 😂

Also not just the sex mini game but there's a lot of nudity from female characters and monsters. Like the Oracle in GoW 1 showed nipples or the Sisters of Fate, Aphrodite, and Sirens / Medusa showed some bare tits.

I don't see why they would, sex and Greek mythos go hand in hand. I'm sure people say Sony won't add that kind of stuff nowadays but The Last of Us 2 showed more in that department than any God of War did. Hell, I could see the remake actually showing the scenes since sex in games has been more prevalent in recent history with games like Kingdom Come, Cyberpunk/The Witcher, Baldur's Gate 3. And the smash circle button has become such a meme, I'd be surprised if they cut it.

Either way Jaffe's gonna bitch about it

@HotGoomba This comment had me dying!! Bravo!!

Normal people in the real world get up to all manner of weird and wonderful things in a free society and most welcome that sort of freedom. Why does all that suddenly get whisked away when gaming is involved? It's a throwaway sex scene in a throwaway popcorn game of gloriously nonsensical excess.

They should retain them, but I'd be very surprised if they do.

They will 100% remove them! No one has the guts to make any media that is edgy these days. We live in a sterile society run by whiners and wimps.

Edit: also gta6 will likely remove the ability to sleep with hookers. I just don’t understand why we bother with age ratings tbh.

I don't mind it either way, but I feel like people will have strong opinions on something incredibly trivial.

@Czar_Khastik not to mention losing the cultural impact of 2000's. It would be like if evanescence suddenly remade "bring me to life" in the style of mumford and sons.

Of course they won't be there
What are you smoking if you think otherwise?

@Korgon I thought I was open minded until I played those games as a teen / 20 something.

I thought i was open minded until a few years ago where I started dating a Greek woman.

Some conversations we have about their history and some of her and her friends life truly shows the prudish nature of some Britons... and again, I was open minded 🤣

At the same time, we bonded over this gane in a weird way, as I got interested in Greek mythology, and had some weird stuff to talk about!

Don't care either way. But the close the votes as the option to keep them in is at 69%, perfect number for it

I mean come on, plenty of games have far more graphic nudity and sex scenes.

Honestly, MAYBE with the exception of GoW2, they felt pretty out of place and antithetical to Kratos' character. I say keep them in, as a remake should retain a maximum amount of original content. But the games and narratives therein wouldn't lose much with their removal.

what kind of remake will it be a remake of some scenes or a full blown remake new actors for all the parts?

@graymamba He's going to whine about it anyway no matter what they do. Every single time the guy opens his mouth he's putting everyone else down. But what has he done since then?

They're gonna remove it.

While the original GoW only had to deal with the Bible Prudes, todays games also have to deal with the Neo-Prudes, a new breed of very loud, annoying people.

The main reason to remove anything sexual is to maximize the number of places it is allowed to be sold, though, and so maximize profits. Sony wants to be able to sell the game in UAE, China, Germany etc.

@Bingoboyop Not really, unless we're talking pron games.

GoW3 has two titted-out women narrating Kratos' 'ferocity' before being inspired by it to indulge in each other.

Maybe The Last of Us Part II's scene was more graphic, in the sense it was actually rendered. But GoW's have heaping graphic implication, and are 100x more gratuitous.

@Titntin "They add nothing except cringe."

Exactly! They're only there to be edgy. There's nothing interesting or artistic about them. At best, they provide humorous tonal whiplash.

If they cut them I won't give them the full price for sure. Hope they keep them as it is.

Should we burn book's that a small group of people have decided is inappropriate for today's customer's. They maybe aged rated 17-18 but we are making these games for the "Morden Audience".

All I want is a port of the PS2 (or the PS3 collection versions) of 1 and 2. We already have a PS4 version of GoW3.

Change nothing gameplay related, including the mini games.

I’ll happily buy that. Hell, I’ll even PREORDER that.

@Dman10 I’m pretty sure you’re blaming the wrong people on modern-day censorship…

Personally I could care less if they're kept in or cut cause they're just short 20-25 second qte mini games, so they're not exactly the biggest deal in the entire game.

Why? From what I remember they were optional and none of them were even graphic,with most of them done offscreen.

I see some accusations of these scenes being edgy and cringe, but did you guys even play the original games? GoW and Kratos himself were as Edgy McEdgeLord as you can get in gaming. He was supposed to be an anti-hero that often made shocking and unheroic decisions, and that was a large part of what made the games feel different than the goody-two-shoes heroes that came before.

The 2018 game remade Kratos from Conan the Barbarian into essentially Joel from TLoU/The Father from The Road, and that was just never the same.

@Kingy they aren't changing it. They are just remaking them.

The story won't change and no technically what happens in the new ones hasn't really got anything to do with his past but more about his sons future and wife's legacy.

The original games is Kratos is just pure anger and wants to kill every god and also they are the pinicacle of arcade melee combat. Jist a pure delight to play let alone the crazy story.

It seems to be only anime sexuality that gets censored, so we might be in the clear. Immortality, TLOU 2, GTA V, Cyberpunk, and plenty of other games have nudity.

They’re super dated but that’s probably why they should be kept in. When Kratos does come face to face with his demons, I do think that the way he treats women especially as completely disposable should be addressed however, there’s some decent story in there about his wife and the way nobody really replaces her that wasn’t fully explored in the original trilogy.
