Everyone thinks God of War (2018) was destined to be a masterpiece. But at the time, it was a huge gamble.We watched Raising Kratos, the documentary about how Santa Monica Studio tried to reboot a beloved franchise, change its entire tone, reinvent Kratos as an actual character, and show it all off live at E3 with a demo that could’ve face-planted in front of the whole industry. Five years of “are we geniuses or idiots?” energy.We got into how games get made, what devs give up to ship something this ambitious, why creative teams crumble and regroup, and also… what ever happened to E3?→ Next episode: Brandy Hellville & The Cult of Fast FashionTimestamps!
