I think 2 and 3 lose the plot a bit but 1 is very much a greek tragedy and Kratos isn't just a wrecking ball that blames everyone else. The game even starts by completely destroying this idea.

The thing about nuKratos is that he doesn't even work as character without his past. The fact that he was this force of nature is what justifies his more controlled demeanor. We know what he's capable of when he flies off the hinges. Maybe they'll just add a bunch of flashbacks but I think that would be a disservice.
