The God of War title could have been very different. God of War was drawn randomly out of a hat when the studio couldn't decide on a name for their game.
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
The one is too long and the other I just don't see it having worked. I'd bet they wouldn't have gone with the others if chosen.
Glad they drew God of War out of the hat, think it's the best choice of those names. I like the name Dark Odyssey, but it would be better suited to a different game.
I’m surprised to hear they couldn’t get on the same page. Those other two titles are terrible in comparison. God of War is perfect.
I'm glad the series was called God of War. It fits perfectly. Dark Odyssey is good as well, but for some reason I picture a space game. At the Hands of the Gods is the weakest name for sure.
Interesting that before a name becomes popular, it gets shopped with a bunch of other possible names. Imagine what so many things we know and love could have actually been called instead.
