‘God Of War’ creator unhappy with “the direction” of newer games
God Of War franchise has criticised the direction that the newer games have gone in.Jaffe – who led 2005’s original God Of War title and 2007’s sequel – shared a video onto his YouTube channel, titled “God Of War – does it need to be so… personal?” last week and in it, shares his thoughts on the 2018 reboot and last year’s Ragnarok.Responding to comments that animation director Bruno Velazquez in the past about the franchise mirroring people’s growth from youth to adulthood, Jaffe said: “I don’t want these characters to grow. I don’t give a fuck what you’re going through at the studio.”“If you’re going to build a brand new IP, or you’re going to build a character into the God Of War lore, and that character is struggling or dealing with your problems that a lot of you at the studio have dealt with, that’s great.“But don’t take the character Kratos and go, ‘I’m older now and I’m really into family and I wanna tell stories about fathers and sons’.
