God Of War Gameplay Development Highlights

[@g1david024]

8:26 here Kratos still had TC Carson's voice

[@captainnomad.]

YEAHHH!!!

[@Akaminosprime]

I think they just used gow 3 audios for this build

[@yo1nk4]

Is there a reason why they didn't use TC Carson anymore?

[@Akaminosprime]

@@yo1nk4 cause other studio, other director and everything else is different I think they wanted to give him a calm and reasonable voice

[@payayaa]

@@yo1nk4 because they needed a taller voice actor for the mocap

[@fatos342]

12:32 Atreus could summon a freakin Dragon! 12:49 originally when you throw the axe at enemy grapped with Atreus, he picks the axe and slamms the Dragur with it. The exact same animation is still in the final game but he uses his bow instead

[@MASTERSOT]

kind of disappointed now that the dragon didn't make it into the game 😆

[@504godzilla]

Those 2 animations would have been incredible in ragnarok

[@95DOIDO]

@@MASTERSOT I think that there is a chance this will make it into a Atreus game, the Dragon is one of the strongest and noblest of all the norse beasts, probably why Sigrun has a dragon helmet, there is a possiblity that Atreus will learn to conjure a magic dragon or even become a one in the future, it will be awesome! a boy's game has too much potential!

[@ThatDudeDavid252]

That second move is perfect symbolically, physically and magically WHY DID THEY REMOVE IT😭

[@aidenpotter5952]

I could maybe understand removing the dragon but that axe one was just so clean and it looked finished too.

[@braynnwinter4019]

Hopefully the GTA VI twitter critics watch this

[@coreyspeers1651]

And the critics for wolverine

[@isostormgamer5584]

Honestly, I just think that people just lose all common sense when they use the internet. Judging very early builds of a game as if it's a final product is very dumb.

[@turntsnaco5946]

“Bro this game isn’t even finished!” “😐yes”

[@turntsnaco5946]

[@NoCluYT]

12:48 This goes hard

[@Artuxis_Sam]

6:25 Old School Kratos

[@CaptainQwazCaz]

11:16 i am disappointed stuff like this wasnt included in the combat. In the game, whenever you fail to block you get sent flying, but when you hit them there is a little blood sprinkle. Imagine if, occassionally even, you can send opponents flying and breaking through stuff

[@vader9133]

It's literally in the game. It happens in a clip from bigbrickplays during the first fight with boulder behind the house. I think it's about 36 minutes into his first video

[@CaptainQwazCaz]

@@vader9133 I meant that I wished this kind of thing happened throughout the game and especially in ragnarok. Thor or any of these other bosses will send you flying but you will never send them (or regular opponents) flying except in cutscenes

[@ryannathan4323]

​@@CaptainQwazCazactually you can when using spartan rage and finishing a combo it's weird you never saw that

[@BaldorfBreakdowns]

Why do the prototype axe attacks look way better and more fun? Why'd they cut so much of this? There are so many cool mechanics!

[@richardant3914]

The Baldur boss fight in development ver. Is impressive. But I much prefer the release version since If you imagine the combat arena being to huge, It's would be too much. Still I like how interactive environment is. It's very amazing and impressive.

[@dexxfa7274]

Exactly we need way more destructible environment

[@xellyyyyyy]

the voice at the start for kratos really does canonize the name john kratos. “Fire now 🧔🏻‍♂️”

[@criticalsoar3907]

So much cool ideas in the build that would have made the game even better than it was but Cory did say at the end that it was hard to do but if they can all these missed ideas on the next game it will be a 20/10 game. Also there were a lot of cool finishers they didn’t use

[@Breezebud]

That is so amazing!! So much detail need to be discuss, so many ideas, creativity to reach the final and amazing form that we see in the game.

[@ToeFungus69]

12:49 this would have been so cool. Could you imagine if Atreus could you use the axe sometimes??

[@TheNamesBondJamesBondJames]

@9:10 look at that, Kratos has a hatchet on his right side, I wonder if they were going to use that as another weapon of some sort or perhaps just a tool. & He has a horn on his back during the fight with Baldur, maybe they were planning on using that as a signal for Atreus during battle. They also made Atreus really OP. Seriously, having a dragon that can breathe lightning as a runic summon..!! That's just nuts, I'm glad they nerfed him.

[@aliq45]

you read too much into it, it's just a gameplay demo, relax

[@TheNamesBondJamesBondJames]

@@aliq45 I'm aware of that. However the knife in his belt is just a knife, but is sentimental for Kratos. Who's to say the hatchet doesn't hold some importance... Or maybe just a tool. It's called imagination, calm down.

[@voids4818]

@@aliq45don’t be shutting down people’s ideas for what could’ve been! Demos are perfect for speculation, and it’s fun to imagine what the devs had in mind with the mechanics they originally had going. Talk about a Debbie Downer

14:22 interesting that agile strike used to be a right uppercut to the body.

[@someguy1597]

[@Wallmart5]

Bro the dragon summon and the axe slam from Atreus would have been amazing in the game 😭🙏

[@chojthoj08]

HOLY shit. Some of these are hella good. I'm surprised it didn't make it out... maybe not yet

[@dredgen-hawk5179]

The proto actor voice lines for the game are hilarious. Kratos sounds like he works a 9-5 at a stock brokerage.

[@JonasIvanMontañez]

I love the fact theres a Tc carson voice in the demo love it. And i wonder what was the origin of this gow since were in norse in the beta i wonder what was the whole plot of it

[@D.v-O4u2c]

8:25 they use tc carsons og kratos voice here

[@Tekkenandgaming]

Yeah so sad they changed his voice, new voice actor is fine but get out a good yell to save his life.

[@mazenmarie1672]

Is that a protype model of the Gjallarhorn? Wow, it was there the whole damn time!

[@skizecraft]

man that would be such a creative way of doing the weapon menu is in game on the weapon itself

[@riddlerwillison3336]

0:21 The NPC's that Kratos fights have the same model of Ascensión Multiplayer's Warrior

[@thanoskirby8440]

8:26 esa no es la voz de el kratos griego ?

[@ameliabuns4058]

this shows just how insane game dev is, and what kind of insane effort power and talent goes into a game!

[@youtubruh]

Yo, the Boi in this Prototype is so cool and useful. In Final Product, without Atreus, Kratos'd be even stronger with Zero Burden lololol

[@meatbleed]

so cool they made this public. never knew.

[@brendanness]

Never thought I’d see Kratos in blue jeans

[@LS-wy4bk]

2:30 is that a hint of Atreus using fire magic ? His bow gets on fire in ragnarok trailer when he swings it in melee.

[@B3N1TO]

The troll moment would’ve beeen siiiiick asf and like a skill check moment if there was like 30 enemies just slowly getting up behind you. stun the ogre fast enough plus leave enough health on the ogre to smash em all or just die cause you missed a couple parries😂

Very cool to be able to see AAA games so early in development

[@potato_is_good]

[@jdbb3gotskills]

Atreus having more arrow types would’ve been cool but I understand they have to cut stuff at some point to finalize the game.

this is what the people who are complaining about the wolverine leaks need to see. gow has some of the best combat in story games, and yet, the animations looked extremely bad here. same exact situation with wolverine. i promise that the games combat will flow, and work much better than what it looks like in the leaks lol.

[@Tekkenandgaming]

Yeah BUT it wont be as volant as it needs to be, if GOW gets the reduced blood and kills then wolverine’s will be a MCU style kids game 😢

“this game looks so bad! i doubt itll go anywhere” -modern day critics

[@venjustice6666]

Exactly also this game isn’t even bad and Ragnarök isn’t bad either everyone is just upset because it doesn’t play like the originals. Under the Mayo is fine as a reviewer I respect him because he made his review as a God of War FAN whereas every other reviewer just uses what Mayo says to discredit these games against other games to make it look bad. Glad it won the 2018 GOTY but Mayo didn’t outright say it was bad he said he loved some things about it like them changing the game is a risk and he says he liked that and changing the weapons and bringing back the blades and the game looks fantastic just that it doesn’t play like the originals and the fact that it has cutscenes for story purposes this game was made for god of war fans we want to see Kratos be better now Atreus does usually mess up the mood but take him as you will but people will just call this game a movie and that it shouldn’t be comparable to actual games.

[@MaxHimbigger]

Am I crazy or does the extremely early footage look like it was built from The Last of Us? Like the grab takedown at 0:24 and the way his swings hit and stop at 0:31, and also just his swinging animations and the way the camera moves with it feels extremely Last of Us. It also says first strike stealth in the corner.

Combat is the best part of these games and that’s saying something because the stories are also amazing

[@Repudiate]

I haven't played Ragnarok, but what makes you think the combat is basic and simplistic? I believe GOW 2018 is one of the greatest action games out there, and I play a lot of action games. From the GOW trilogy, DMC series, MGSR, Bayonetta series, Fromsoftware games, and others I can't remember.

[@shecobona977]

@@smoothduck7151 i enjoy the combat but with the added fluff of a rpg system and most enemies on harder difficulties just being sponges that can’t be stunned and with combat not being very smooth in most encounters its just a bummer to see far more interesting concepts with Atreus having multiple powers and Melee combat being more interactive and brutal with more emphasis on the classic hack and slash of the originals.

[@shecobona977]

@@Repudiate Honestly i can admit bias because these feeling stem more from me playing Ragnarock then 2018, i still do wish that they didn’t use the leveling or rpg stuff because it doesn’t inspire interesting enemy design when you can just crank the damage and health to max and make combat drawn out, i still like the groundwork 2018 made Raganarock though overall soured my Gow experience with just how boring most combat situations turn out
