Activision never ceases to amaze me with their desire to burn out a franchise. -.-

I also wish it to be a sequel rather than another prequel, because from the story point of view, it looks like they repeated everything that we already knew, and the first God of War already explained why Kratos wanted Ares in the first place, so this is just a waste of money to create a prequel, but much more feasible when it comes to engendering a sequel, since the GOW 3 left on quite the cliffhanger after Kratos screwed up the world for his selfish revenge.
