It is weird. Because when I am just scrolling by, I think the image looks fine. 

When I look at it closer, it looks wrong. 

I almost feel like it's uncanny valley character wise. Like it's too close and yet too far away. The joke picture that Legend posted, I legitimately feel better about Kratos there...  

I feel like Atreus looks a bit too young. He has a few like baby features. 

I think I agree with what Kitler is saying about Kratos. The acting part. 
I feel like I keep looking at his lips. It doesn't exactly fit anything to me.

Lmao! Danny Devitto is fire in that role 😂😂😂 I would legitimately be HAPPY if he played Atreus 😂😂

[the-pi-guy]

Fixed it.
 

The more goofy edits I see, the more I'm convinced that half of the problem is Krato's face. 
I'm convinced that Kitler was spot on, here.   

I hate the kids face.  he should be playing a hobbit not atreus.  his face looks very punchable. 

kratos needs a fuller beard but it's the acting I don't like from this shot.  the way his eyebrows are furrowed doesn't fit the moment.  in this scene kratos was stern but not angry.  for kratos this was an important introduction to his "softer" side.  something paternal and not full of rage.  this shot looks like the actor is failing to capture the moment.

i'd love to hear more about how i was right.

Was your point that the cast for kratos was wrong?

Yeah the facial expression is wrong. And the beard is way too unkempt. Kratos be looking like a bum

i'm not going so far as to say that based on 1 screenshot.   i'm just saying that 1 screenshot fails to capture the moment of the game and imo it's less about him not looking like kratos (costume) and more about him not having an good portrayal of kratos in that moment (facial expression).

i do think atreus was casted wrong.

I think it'll do ok. I think bungie will pull it off. They will struggle, maybe be tempted to shut it down, but instead they'll keep investing in it and grow a community.

i do think atreus was casted wrong. 

He was in the new season of The Night Agent. Yeah he doesn't feel like the best fit.

...

If there was a cancelation GoY would be the most obvious candidate.  as stated above there really aren't that many games left to port without remastering a game from their backlog. 

...

bloomberg reporting that GoY PC-port was canceled.

It feels funny that it felt like a big belief that games would have to become more multiplatform as they got bigger. So it felt like it was necessary for Sony to go multiplatform, to the point that people were expecting Nintendo to also have to go multiplatform in a generation or two.  

Now it seems like Microsoft and Sony are pulling back from that a bit. (At least I get the impression from the new MS leadership, that they're reevaluating.)

i would personally love if all of MS games came to playstation but 100% the fact they put all their games on other platforms is why their platform collapsed.

i nearly bought an xbox when MS was busy acquiring activision and there was a pretty good sale on a series S.   people buy hardware to play games.  which games a platform has (or doesn't have) is a top 3 deciding factor.  when era is busy trying to convience everyone to buy PCs over consoles the two top reasons are:
1. all of MS and Sony's games are coming to PC
2. you don't have to pay for ps+

i feel like era is incredibly stupid not to reconize that sony is not trying to find ways to get you to spend less money on sony's products and services.   they want you to spend more.  there are literaly tens of thousand of posts on era that say:
1. porting games to PC has no affect on consoles
2. i don't need to buy a console because the games are on PC...

it's just massively frustrating levels of deliberate ignorance made only worse because era refuses to recognize the PC/Steam fanboy "platform warriors" as what they are.   write one word of anything about xbox or playstation and you're banned for life.  do the same for steam and you are celebrated..

I think marathon will do ok. The latest gameplay looks much better, but it still has a lot of competition that will hurt it, I think.
