I’d like to make a suggestion. While God of War is a major franchise and a LOT of people will buy the game when it comes out, I think nothing beats good old fashion word of mouth coz I have friends who had never even heard of the series but were fans are franchises like DMC, Prince of Persia, etc who have finally discovered GOW after I told them about it, and now they LOVE it!

I reckon you should give your fans all the tools and incentives needed to spread the word about Kratos’s arrival, like art work they can use to design fan sites, forum signatures, newsletters, t-shirts, whatever. Give fans incentives such as early access to then demo whenever that comes out, or goodies, exclusive downloads, anything. I’m sure there are enough dedicated fans out there to make this initiative successful.

HOWEVER, PLEASE, whatever you do – don’t limit this to the borders of the United States. I’m from the UK and Europe is probably the second largest market for video game industry right now – so don’t ignore us.

Wait. Madness?
