God of War recently came out on the PlayStation 4 and it instantly became a smash hit. With perfect review scores all around the world and many seeing the revamped franchise's praises, the crew over at Santa Monica did a phenomenal job making us love Kratos even more. Even though he can't seem to remember his son's name ...

The internet became rife with "Dad of Boy" jokes, and nothing was off limits. The hilarious memes and blend of *breaths in* "BOY!" renditions and the self-inserted use of 'only a dad would find these funny' jokes only made this voice feature all the more enjoyable, but none of that could have topped this:

That's right, that's the voice of Kratos himself trying to keep a straight face when delivering those oh-so corny lines for his in-game counterpart. Can I just take a moment to say "thank you," because this was something I didn't know I desperately needed until now. THERE WAS EVEN A "HI, ____, I'M DAD JOKE" and I'm dead, dead I say!

Seriously, though - for a game that was so unbelievably incredible both in storyline, execution, and mechanics, it is fun to see a more playful side of the otherwise grim narrative.

In other, less meme-worthy, God of War news, did you see that the Photo Mode is now live? You can learn more about it right here, with a brief highlight of features below:

According to PlayStation, there are five tabs in the Photo Mode menu options to pay attention to:

  • Camera: Adjust the Field of View, Focal Length, and Camera Roll.
  • Aperture: Adjust the Depth of Field, Focus Distance, and F-Stop.
  • Filters: Adjust the Film Grain, Exposure, Filter, and Filter Intensity options.
  • Borders: Add a Vignette and adjust the Vignette Intensity, and Vignette Falloff. This includes a variety of Border styles and the official God of War logo.
  • Characters: Toggle the visibility of Kratos, Atreus, and all other characters in the scene. And my personal favorite, we've added the ability to change Kratos and Atreus's facial expressions!
