@@quanathan yep, i was right, apparently the bots are trying to promote a "free" movie site, the site allows you to pay to become a premium member but from what i heard, it lies and immediately charges you money or something, can't remember rn Ok just did a quick search and apparently, you are able to get premium for "1$", you'll however be unable to see any movie nor unsubscribe, and will be charged $157 the very next day, what a bunch of motherfuckers man.
Damn I remember watching this in high school when I first saw the concept art for kratos I decided right then and there I wanted to draw for a living although I'm not a pro yet seeing where I started to where I am now holy crap am I close just gotta get my portfolio down and start sending it in
The first video demo showing early gameplay of gow felt like it had a both dark and obviously grim story while it felt like Kratos felt a bit cartoony with his run animation, and I'm glad they changed that. Although the original concepts of Kratos looked pretty cool, I think the final design made him look more like a God of war than just a spartan that was given the name "God of war"
im 3 years too late, but yes specifically, i had the "greatest hits" version of the game for ps2, and i remember the extras section, which showcased this alpha version of the game.. as for the rest, i remember some bewbs, monsters.. oh and square square triangle... repeat repeat repeat
Looking back, it is so cool that they included these on the disc. Watching these as a kid (yeah I should not have been playing GoW when I was 9 lol) is what got me interested in game development
It's not because of that. It's because in the flashback scenes before he became the Ghost of Sparta they tried to give his skin a tan olive complexion, however I think they made it a little too dark and that's why people argue over whether or not Kratos is black
@@mbrillon765yeah, it's that and the fact that he's been voiced by black men (which is silly, by that logic Samurai Jack is black). It's basically a telephone game, one person got it wrong, passed it around and the people who don't know any better took it as absolute truth (and they'll die on that hill, believe me).
15:02 i gotta say the beta version of health/magic bar HUD Is better the final one. One of the things i like in modern games is that all the HUD is simplified and is as small as possible so it doesn't clutter up the screen. While the final HUD in GOW is cool&all, its taking up a lot of screen real estate when all its supposed to do is show me 3 meters and a magic icon lol
Idk if it's just your perspective, but I like the final one better. It shows how much effort the devs gave to design the blade. In the beta version, the blade from the HUD looks very lackluster. Sure it's straight forward, but it's far behind from the one we finally got. Also, it doesn't really take much space from the screen. I have never experienced any issues with the HUD blocking my view, so it's good as it is.
@@tarouou4988 Video Games are an immersive experience, everything you see on screen should be the game world. HUD should be ideally as minimalistic as possible while blending the background like *for ex:* In RE2 Remake, the hud shows you bullets on screen with numbers, there's no elaborate HUD like in RE4. In fact, RE games never had a HUD outside pause menu until RE4. Gow1-3 HUD graphics are pretty but i'd still prefer to see more of the game world. Horror games(RE,SH,Dead Space) were ahead of the curve on minimalistic HUD and it eventually became the standard. Now all modern games have minimalist HUD, including GoW 4&Ragnarock.
@@விஷ்ணு_கார்த்திக் I'm the opposite, I want my video games to look and feel as gamey as possible. I think they look cooler and much more fun that way
imagine if every game especially older games were given enough time to make!!! Games would be so much better!!! And when I mean longer I don't mean 10 years extra 3 months to a year, and not just concepts ideas I mean actual developments in games!
What pisses me off is that argument: "we didn't have time". I'm not blaming the guys that did a great job making this game, but the company. It could be a greater masterpiece if they "did" have time to dedicate on that concepts. It's such a shame when all what we see is for business and not art for art.
They got to pay the salaries which is funded by investors, investors are the ones who pushes game studios do everything fast and ASAP! And i think that's important too otherwise it will take decades!
Man I wish there was some way they could remaster gow 1-3 and implement some of the cooler cut levels and ideas.

Kratos went through a lot of prototype designs.
8:22 LOOKED SOOOO GOOOD
8:10, 8:23, 8:28, 8:37, 8:58, 11:46
These are my favorite unused character designs from God of War.
About 8:28, Indeed there is a DLC Costume on GoW3 called Phantom of Chaos, strongly inspired in this design
Icarus' wings find their way into the game eventually ;)

That first demo of God of war made me think of Midevil

But he was just a spartan that became the god of war, so what you're saying doesn't make much sense
This is what inspired me to make videogames.
Huh
So did you make any games?
hope you make it
What games did you make? 🐥🧸
Same
Some of this came in the dvd of the game, in "extras" right? I sold it so long ago but i stll remember some of this

7:54 so that's why people keep saying Kratos was originally supposed to be black.
And had Guile's hair

I remember me and my cousin laughing every time we rewatched the bit where David called the prototype Cyclops a big guy with a stick. Good times.
Kratos kind of looks like a very angry genie to me.
i always wanted to play this as a kid back in 2005

0:00 to 2:50 Medieval Warrior Gameplay
All of these level designs sound like something from Legend of Zelda for N64...which is not a bad thing, don't get me wrong.
2:48
This actually looks like a Legend Of Zelda and Runescape hybrid
Holy shit you are spot-on.

I wonder did they ever mess with a free camera or if they knew right away they would use fixed camera angles
14:47 is that the undertaker?? wtf?
this gameplay would fit well in a journey to the west type game(one that is cartoonish)
God ! This game was really made with loce
Why is beta always better than final version?
Can they remake 1 2 and 3 for the ps5 with updated graphics and add back all this content to it. I'll buy that for any amount
remaster you mean?
@@Fiko371 remaster and Remake are two different things with video games
@@xx_trash_xx2125 yes i know
@@Fiko371 then why did u say remaster then?
