God of War will not be a trilogy so that it does not arise 15 years -apkrig
Last week, we finally learned more about God of War Ragnarök during the PlayStation Showcase. In the first place, only the supposed subtitle was confirmed. The developers also showed us the first shots of the game. Finally, it was clarified that the development is not overseen by Cory Barlog – the designer and creative director of the original game from 2018, but by his longtime colleague Eric Williams. They both commented on the change of leadership in the spirit of efforts for a new view of the game and refreshment of the overall approach, but Barlog himself indicated that he was already working on a new title and then it became clear that God of War Ragnarök would end the northern part of Krat’s adventure. You ask why? Allegedly so that the studio in Santa Monica would not spend 15 long years developing a perhaps somewhat expected trilogy.
“One of the most important reasons is that the development of the first part took five years,” Barlog explained in an interview with Canadian fan God of War, who appeared on YouTube under the nickname Captain Cuba. The second part, although I don’t know how long it will take, will move around a similar time. And then you’d think – Wow, there’s a third part – and we’re talking about a story spread over a 15-year cycle, “Barlog added. He would consider something like this to be an unnecessary delay, and it would occur to him that the developers would ask the fans too much to wait patiently for the completion of this Nordic line for so long.
On the other hand, Barlog does not want to evoke the feeling that the decision to end the Nordic line of God of War after two episodes would mean that the players will lose something.
Together with the new creative director, both developers explained that with the new Nordic series God of War, they wanted to tell the story of Krat and Atre, who became the central driving force of the whole adventure, and everything is based on their evolving relationship. Barlog likened the individual elements of the story to the ripples on the lake, which are still moving from the center and increasing. “We could easily have made the ocean, and these waves would have spread thousands of miles away. But we feel that they would be too far apart and the player could stop seeing the whole point, “the designer added a little soaringly. On the other hand, it does not want to evoke the feeling that the decision to end the Nordic line of God of War after two episodes would mean that the players will lose something. According to Barlog, the experience that Sony Santa Monica strives for should be comparable, for example, from the impressions of watching an extended version of all three films from the Lord of the Rings saga. “I can sit down and spend 13.5 hours watching all the parts in a row and it will be amazing. You will be able to say the same about the fact that if you play God of War 2018 and then God of War Ragnarök, you will get a complete story, “concludes Cory Barlog.
And as it was said after the first presentation of the described game, Barlog himself is already working on another big project, with which he really wants to score according to the interview with youtuber. This time, however, he did not even indicate what it might be, which is understandable in view of the upcoming release of God of War. It is highly inappropriate to steal any attention to the completed title, so we will have to wait a while for the new game from the studio in Santa Monica to be revealed.
