In news that will definitely make you feel old, God of War II celebrates its 14th anniversary this weekend. The Game – Launched on PlayStation 2 after the release of the PS3 – is widely regarded as a classic, with its larger pieces than life and overall mastery of Sony’s hardware. It also saw Cory Barlog take the directorial chair from creator David Jaffe.
And write to Twitter, he admitted that he had no idea what I was doing all the time. He added: ‘Every day it felt like I was thrown off the stage on the opening night to perform a musical I had never even heard of, and even less rehearsed. Luckily, I was inspired by a brilliant team at every turn. ”
One of our favorite memories of God of War II is the documentary recorded on DVD, in which a clearly weakened Barlog explains how to make a sandwich:
Barlog eventually left Sony Santa Monica and worked at a number of different studios, including Crystal Dynamics and Avalanche, before returning to PlayStation to direct the series’ recent award-winning reload. What he is doing now, we know that God of War Ragnarok is around the corner, but it sounds like the developer has a lot more up his sleeve.
