Santa Monica Studios introduced God of war in 2005, the story of Kratos was born and I was instantly hooked. A promising Spartan warrior with an army who served the Olympian Gods for 10 years. When finally facing annihilation, The Spartan (Kratos) prays to Aries to save him and his army and ends up ultimately defeating his enemies, But at a cost. His God fuelled blood lust eventually leads him to kill his own family. With their bodies burned, the remaining ash stains his skin forever becoming the Ghost of Sparta. Athena lends Kratos a much-needed hand and helps him find Pandora's Box to unleash its power so that Kratos can kill Aries and become the God of War. With Kratos gaining immortality, he is cursed with nightmares of the night he murdered his family. This was the origin of Kratos. A story strongly based in greek mythology and a very successful franchise for many years after. A lot has changed from the 2005 original release. 5 games and remasters later on ps3 and ps4
PlayStation - The Concert is a magical musical experience for fans of the brand.
Former PlayStation Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida saw God of War as a "problem" when he first played it, and advocated for its delay.
And it became one of my most favorite games of all time and I still like it more than the sequel.
Well if a game/movie/project needs fixing, especially something with the legacy that god of war does. Delay and fix it, don’t ruin the legacy by releasing crap.
Way to go.
Like Miyamoto famously said.
“A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad.”
Playstation - "Join us in celebrating God of War’s 20th anniversary by looking back at the incredible journey Kratos has taken throughout the last two decades.
On behalf of everyone at Santa Monica Studio, we’d like to thank all of the fans who have supported us over the years. You are the ones who have made it possible for God of War to reach this milestone and we’re more grateful than we can ever express that you’ve given us the chance to keep creating.
On PS3? they "remaster" games that are barely 5 years old. We can't even play the ones from PS3 natively right now on a PS5
As much as I love the new God of war saga, I really miss the scale and epic set pieces of the OG games :/
Thank you Mr. Jaffe. Few franchises stay relevant for 20 years. Thank you Stig, and Corey too
Finally a game that shows maturity, wisdom and actually succeeds in telling a good story by great gameplay and graphics.
The combat here will never get old. Trust me.
Just completed the Hraezlyr dragon fight, let me just say, holy friggin shite!!!!
Nista/10
And another 10. Gotta love it.
Deserves all 10's knowing this game is absolutely amazing!!
