  • @m0istur
    @m0istur 3 роки тому +61

    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"

      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).

  • @விஷ்ணு_கார்த்திக்

    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

    • @tarouou4988
      @tarouou4988 2 роки тому +6

      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.

    • @விஷ்ணு_கார்த்திக்
      @விஷ்ணு_கார்த்திக் 2 роки тому +2

      ​@@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.

    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.
