Filmmaker William Rouse returns to Gamology to react to God of War. William talks about the styles of camera movement and how they change the feeling of a scene, symbolism and foreshadowing in a narrative, and the thinking behind directing a fight among other things. Join us as William takes a look at the expansive world of God of War.
The Sony Interactive Entertainment video game God of War tells the tale of Kratos, a Spartan warrior tricked into killing his family by his former master, Ares, the Greek god of war. Consequently, this drives the Gods and mythological creatures to war.
As a result of the machinations of the Olympian gods in the Greek mythology era, Kratos follows a path of vengeance, whereas the Norse mythology era, which introduces his son Atreus to the story, shows an older Kratos on a path of redemption, which inadvertently puts them against the Norse gods.

It goes farther than you know, the game is "filmed" in a single shot, if you never pause, never do upgrades, the game never ever cuts

@DausBugaboo 2 года назад

Even the bifrost doesn't have a loading screen despite it being a fast travel.

@GreatOldOne9866 2 года назад

Technically the cuts are still there, but they’re done in a way that give the illusion of a single take. So it can give other chunks time to load.

Part of me always worries if doing long scenes in one take will become a lost art, so seeing cutscenes in this game let's me appreciate the production side even more

@joshuaseptember4473 2 года назад

Yo man. The whole game is one take. If it's played from beginning to end then the camera would never cut unless you died. Really awesome to experience, they've even gotten around loading screens as well.

@iurigrang 2 года назад

@@joshuaseptember4473 the camera also fades to white when entering the branches of the world tree for fast traveling, and it fades to black when entering and exiting the serpent. Still a technological/creativd marvel either way.

@GrimDrive 2 года назад

@@iurigrang I see this brought up often, but I wouldn’t call it a cut if it can be explained in world. Fade to white because it’s teleportation to and from a mystical realm, and fade to black because it’s pitch black after closing its mouth until your eyes adjust. Film makers use hidden cuts all of the time to accomplish a “one take” even though it’s not technically a one take.

@CZProductions 2 года назад

That's because it can also be a negative. Sure, it gives you the world from the perspective of Kratos which is cool, but you also have no idea what's happening in the rest of the world. Would be nice to know what Zeus and Thor and them are doing or what they think about everything. Various viewpoints are largely beneficial to building a world like this one. Imagine Game Of Thrones if you were only following one of the characters. A unique look? Sure. WIll you lose appreciation for other characters and their struggles since they are just popping in every now and then though? Absolutely.

@EskChan19 5 месяцев назад

6:16 One thing I like about the game that is not really shown well here: There are a few times in the story where the cutscene forces you to use the Spartan Rage (The L3 + R3 prompt here). It becomes apparent through the story that Kratos has always had a bit of an anger issue, he is very scared of his anger and rage and always tries to stay calm and composed. These prompts are him unleashing his rage and they ONLY happen to protect his son. Every time these prompts show up, they happen as a direct result to a threat against his son, in this cutscene it was Baldur saying that he'd go back to the house and try to see what he's hiding (his son), but it also happens when he sees someone attacking his son.
