Well, the first prequel (Chains of Olympus) didn't actually fill in much backstory at all. Atlus says something that was pretty bizarre in GoW2 and they took a game to explain it. I can't really expand on it for spoilers. Ghost of Sparta was supposed to be GoW2, there was an unlockable cutscene in GoW1 that explained the fate of Kratos' mother and brother, and Ghost of Sparta puts you in control of Kratos as he witnesses their fate. There was never a true prequel; Never shining a light on what he did as a soldier, his early life, and as a servant of Ares. That's what this game's going to be about. I have 2 things I'm hoping for from this: 1. Having the part where Kratos gets the ashes bonded to him be playable and 2. As the prequel is happening (SPOILER ALERT) is escaping from hell once more, leading into GOW4. I'm freaking hyped!!!
