God of War Creator Is Unhappy With New Games and Kratos' Story

Despite being nominated for numerous awards and even winning Game of the Year in 2018, the creator of God of War, David Jaffe, is not a huge fan of the new direction the series has gone in. Jaffe himself hasn't worked on these new God of War games, but thinks that they're not staying true to the spirit of the character and the franchise. The creator noted that if developers want to pour their life experiences into their work, they should do it with new IPs and characters.

I understand Jaffe not being happy that the games are going in a different direction than he imagined, but he’s also the guy who thought Drawn to Death needed to be made.

Well he can fuck right off, God of War 2018 was amazing

Wait until the franchise falls into decay like what happened to the to Tolkien’s work after TLORs massive success.

Was Ragnarok less loved? I got a bad feel for it with some comments so left off playing it. Then I got it and loved every second of it.

Literally every person I know that played it loved it more than the 2018 reboot, which is saying something since the 2018 GoW put the franchise back on the map after its years long downturn.

I didn’t like it as much and quit playing, but that may be because I just had my fill with the first one and was done with it.

    Why are shilling so hard for a has-been whose most noteable works had to taken away from his creative control to actually develop into something beyond a juvenile revenge fantasy?

    The same reason why you guys are shilling for a Dad of War story, that most real, non childish adults don’t care for?

    Have you ever thought (it’s rhetorical) that some people just want a basic and funny hack n slash game, and don’t give a shit about the story? There plenty is games that fill that void.

    Not every game needs to have a background story or even a story at all!

    If thats your take away you’ve clearly never played the games and only read reviews about them second or third hand. No one is saying the og trilogy was bad, but according to Jaffe they were writing epics… Which frankly is a far cry from the truth and they only got better as he had less and less involvement to GoW3 being cslled the best of the trilogy, ironically the game he’s not involved in making.

    The original GoW games had a lot of story. They didn’t add more story to the new games, just better story.

    You are simply making things up. The reboot sold incredibly well, about 5 times more than the originals in fact, and received universal acclaim. People have grown up with the character and were happy to see that evolution. The original creator and you have become out of touch with the reality of this franchise.

    Your expectation for things to never evolve and grow says more about you than you seem to want to face. But the same as you think that there are plenty of games that fill the void of deep narrative action games, I can say there are plenty of basic hack and slash games to go around, just go enjoy another one.
