Sony Santa Monica reveals the initial splashes of Kratos enemies and are as simple as fun
You can imagine that the fearsome enemies of God of warWill those titans, gods and infernal creatures begin to be … Palitos dolls on a table? Yes, this is the last and honest revelation he made Santa Monica Studio To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the original game: David JaffeDirector of the first God of wardrawing All the enemies of the game like MonigotiWith escaped swords and single bodies.
The surprising origin of art in God of War
Sometimes it is difficult to imagine that one of the most brutal and visually shocking video games will begin with some more typical drawings than a bored child of a billionaire project. But there are, Palit figures With swords, shields and what seems to be an angry sand. All very rudimentary, but also very revealing on how great ideas are born.
In the words of the study itself, shared in networks:
“The director David Jaffe has outlined all the enemies of God of war On a table with figures of sticks. The team took those Scarabocchi and transformed them into brutal and unforgettable enemies that Kratos would end up facing. Each legend begins somewhere, even like a couple of lines and circles. “
That sentence, in addition to obtaining a smile, reminds us that creative development is a process and does not always begin with detailed tenants or artistic concepts worthy of frame. Sometimes it starts with a design of garment with an indicator.
Among the sketchesYou can vaguely identify yours Aresto soldiers with swords and shields (the Legionaries that seem to be common enemies) and even a creature that seems to be mounted on a giant crossbow or a four -legged animal. A dog? A pig? An enemy with a support? We leave it to your imagination.
There is also a Monigote with what could be a long dress and hair, probably that they represent The harpieThose winged creatures shouting before launch. Other more recognizable figures are the centaurHim cerber and a kind of snake that could be a spectrum oa hydra that we face at the beginning of the game. Although, we are honest, it looks more like a snake designed by someone in a hurry.
Nostalgia affects stronger than Kratos
Although the discovery has made laughter among many fans, he also fueled a Clamor in social networks: Where is the remake?
Requests are repeated in the comments:
“We need a remake in conditions of God of war original and its sequel “Write a user.
Another adds: “We want the entire Greek saga in PS5. Don’t you see the question?”
And although the Nordic saga has been acclaimed by criticism and players, There is a legion of fans so that they want the brutal and cinematographic essence of the first titles. Epic battles, gigantic bosses, bleeding combinations and that fixed camera that offered a very different staging from the current camera on the shoulder which, for some, has already lost its freshness.
“I miss the fighting with the bosses as before. The sequence plane was beautiful, but I was already tired in Ragnarok”, Some nostalgic comments.
From the ame of the myth
The most curious thing about this revelation is not only how fun are the drawings, but what it says Creative process in the development of video games. An idea that begins with a quick scribble on a table can end up becoming a legendary video game, with a protagonist like KratosWhich has evolved from pure revenge to become one of the most complex and recognizable characters in the environment.
For now, There are no confirmed plans for the Rimster Oi Remake Of the first games, although PlayStation has launched special content for the anniversary, too exclusive skin for Ragnarok and 1,70 meters Jörmungand filling. Enough to calm the fans? We doubt it.
But at least, thanks to this small window in the past, we can see it also a legend like God of war Started with simple strokes of marker. And this, in addition to adorable, reminds us that the important thing is not the way you start, but what you do later.
