Screenshot by Destructoid But all anyone seems to wonder about is whether or not the series's sex mini-games will be included this time around, given how times have changed. For context, throughout the series and its first three releases from 2005 to 2010, Kratos sometimes found himself in the presence of some lovely ladies, and the player would be prompted to press some QTE buttons while the Spartan "performed" off-screen as sultry sound effects played and the screen shook.

At a recent panel during a convention, original Kratos voice actor (returning for the remakes) TC Carson had some potential good news for gamers who are looking for the series to retain its ******* identity and "charm." When asked whether or not the sequels would include them, Carson had a laugh.

"You know what, all you dudes, all you men…I think so,” he said in a

. And when the host of the panel joked that it was confirmation, he reiterated, "I think so." So that's all we have to go on, for now.

The most gratuitous and near-pornographic sex scene from God of War 3 (seen in this

) happens when Kratos enters the chambers of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love. And while there wasn't much love found in that room, there was quite a bit of lust. Aphrodite, opining about how long it's been since a man visited her chambers, requests his "services" in return for passage to his next objective. And so he obliges.

Two women with their breasts fully bare watch as Kratos and Aphrodite do the deed off-screen and out of view. Aphrodite moans in delight as the player presses on-screen button prompts in one of the more memorable QTE's in history. Even back then, though, it was pretty tongue-in-cheek (tongue-in-somewhere, to be sure).

"This is definitely for mature audiences only!" one of the buxom women says. "Parents should not let their children watch this," says the other. When done, the women are so inspired by the gods that they perform their own QTE's, again off-screen. Kratos is then rewarded with a wealth of red orbs and is allowed to proceed towards his objective.

Gratuitous? Yes. But is it totally out of character? Not really. Have you ever read Greek mythology? Sex was everywhere and involved in everything. The gods would leave Olympus to take on human (or even animal) forms and commit all sorts of ******* acts with humans. And that's how we ended up with demigods. Sex sells, and it was up for ***** everywhere in ancient Greece, apparently.

I would be a bit put off if the remakes removed these scenes completely, but I don't think I would mind all that much if they were tweaked a bit. Let's hope Carson is right and that they remain in the remakes in at least some capacity, for the sake of being faithful to the original games...even if no one in the mythos was faithful to their own spouses.

What are your thoughts on the sex mini-games in the God of War remakes? Are you in, or are you out?
