God of War: Raising Kratos |OT| How to make a Sandwhich Part II (feature length God of War 2018 documentary)
- Thread starter Kenzodielocke
- Start date
The kid who portraits Atreus is fantastic...you can see he's having a lot of fun and have great chemistry with Chris Judge....
i'm assuming it's the clip where kratos is revealed and the crowd goes nuts? i go back and watch that part on the official e3 stream occasionally. the rush fees great
works out, eats well, and takes a lot
of multi, as in you know what hihi
This doc is a 10/10 just like the game.
Scary moment when Shu didn't like the early prototype. He was not pleased…

Okay that was fantastic - I'd happily have watched twice that much, it felt like so much was only touching the surface of what went on because of how much was needed to cover. The Santa Monica team should be damn proud.
And damn I never really knew Chris Judge outside of the fact he was in Stargate (which I never watched) but he seems like such an awesome dude. The whole cast do tbf, they did well there.

Wow that was so good, shu was not happy at first but they turned it into something amazing, kudos to them.
This documentary was really hard to watch for me. None of the staff looked happy, even the studio head had sacrificed her life, her family and children's life for this. Well done for Sony not glossing over the hard truths of game development but this was really sad.

That was pretty good and I still get a weird chill from the original trailer. Not so much for the reveal itself as I was never a fan of God of War prior to the 2018 game but the reactions...even though they were cringy at times are quite moving in their own way.
BUT there was a lot in that doc that made me feel really uncomfortable, in particular when they started to talk about the amount of "extra time" employees put into working there. just...blergh to that.

wow, I hope we get one of these for every big PlayStation game. Absolutely need a documentary for the making of The Last of Us 2.
Started rewatching it again when I got home with my full attention. It's so good that I ended up rewatching the whole thing. They really did find the perfect Kratos with Chris.
Also my eyes started welling up again during the ending credits lol. Seeing all of their work pay off in the end made me so happy.

I wish all the people from ssm knew how we appreciate all that you have done for this game, franchise and your fans. Sacrifacing way too much, but (i hope) gaining more.
We all wish you wont have to be crunching anymore, however, thats probably not happening. I cried a bit and just realized that i will never give a lower score to any game because of bugs and technical problems that will be patched along the way.
So sad for everything you had to gone through, same as many people from this industry. Shame we all cant just patiently wait for these experiences that change our lives in that or another way. I certainly wont forget the impact this game still has on me. I am looking forward for gow 2 more then tlou 2 and I am over the top hardcore fan of tlou.
You guys keep yourselves happy. Everyone in here hopes that Sony will give you as much time as you need, and not just you. Be it every other studio they work with.
Be incredibly proud of what you made for us. Looking forward to being speechless and stunned by jormungandr sound design (hopefully) not so soon.

The GoW documentary was phenomenal to say the least. I really want to give everyone a hug, that was quite emotional. A reminder that everyone despite very different backgrounds has their cross to bear.
Corey is a creative genius though he and the others really have to take care of their mental health since game development can be so emotionally exhausting. Christopher Judge, Sunny, Yumi and Shannon put some crazy work into this game.
It was a gigantic effort to modernize GoW and making it more popular than ever, so yeah every single person on this project should be very proud of themselves.
This was also the first time we saw gameplay footage for the Internal 7 project, right?

I did not know that was the name of the cancelled project. Insofar as video footage is concerned then yes, that was the first.
This actually kinda made me hate E3 a bit. Just think of all the studios losing a month+ of work, and probably crunching the whole time, to make a short demo for people to watch. I hope that the digital events that Sony and Nintendo do are a little less stressful.
This was awesome! I loved watching the different dev's takes and I especially liked the parts with Bear McCreary. His thing about raising his arms for the Kratos unveil while conducting was cool to hear.
Phenomenal piece of work, and my GOTY 2018. Can't say more than what's been said here already. Been a fan since 2005, and I'm so happy Cory was able to revitalize this franchise with that amazing team with him.
Was hoping for just a small tease for what's next though!
Oh, and no Jeremy Davies? Wanted to see some of him here.

That was an incredible watch. Those two hours really flew by.
Really can't thank or praise SSM enough for this game. The team made their mark on the world, that's for sure.

Where is Cory going to sit?
I rewatched a few bits of it, and it definitely feels very professionally done, probably the best game doc ever made. Hopefully we'll others of similar quality in the future!
Hardly felt those 2 hours. Heartfelt documentary that really highlights the whole process we rarely get to see, especially the simple yet often forgotten fact that there are plenty of humans behind these projects who don't usually get the credit they deserve, more so in an age where people take things for granted and keep asking for updates left and right as if they came from machines and machines alone. Oh man, I'm so damn glad this ended up working out for everyone involved, including God of War fans themselves, because this is a win for all of us who loves this IP. Can't wait to see what the next title will bring and I do hope Sony keep this up for more titles, it's great insight and a great way to give some spotlight to those who deserve it. GoW along with Bloodborne are my games of the generation for sure.
nah dude, its normal. i always tear up during those kinda clips and i teared up again when they showed cory checking out the score/reviews, i even have that clip bookmarked and watch it once in a while.
its empathy, its putting yourself in someone elses shoes.
another great moment that i always missed was the composers/conductors live reaction during the kratos reveal!
100% going to give this a watch Sunday on my day off.
GoW was amazing. The last GoW I played was Ghost of Sparta on the PSP and the beta for Ascension, and while I enjoyed the former, the latter was just so boring to me.
But then this came out and knocked it out of the park. It was one of the first games in a while where I just had to admire at the writing and gameplay.

About a quarter way through. Loving it.
Cool to see some concept art of the other Norse gods, and some vision , concept art of that cancelled sci fi project

I think the industry needs more documentaries like this. I really hope Sony continues to make these things because it gives people an incredibly candid insight into the development process from beginning to end including the highs and lows. I do appreciate that they didn't gloss over the crunch period and the sacrifices people in the business have to make to get the game into our hands. That bit with Shannon where she couldn't bring herself to answer the question about the sacrifices they make just killed me but to see her reaction and relief (those high fives with Cory) after the reviews came in and the game was out was such an incredible moment.
Incredible work to everyone at SSM.

I watched the whole documentary and really enjoyed it! I could simply hear Cory Barlog speak forever! It's also excellent to hear from the lesser known figures in Santa Monica that helped make God of War an amazing title.
Finished now.
Everyone who plays video games needs to watch this. So many talented people create amazing games for us and this is a little window into their world, the issues they face during development, and the sacrifices they make because they believe in something.
The most time I've dedicated to a creative project is just a few months of putting together theatre shows. It's fun and daunting and high pressure and intense, but it's all worth it on opening night and seeing the audience clapping and reading the reviews the next day. I can't fathom being in it for five whole years. The look on Cory's face while reading the reviews says it all.
Thank you SSM for an amazing game, and to Sony for letting us see and know the people whose names are only in the credits.

A ton more people would watch this video if this thread's title were more straightforward. I feel like I'm lucky I decided to click this thread.
This really goes to show just how much straight up hard work and human dedication went into this game from everyone at SSM. Its that hard work that made the game so brilliant. The doc was educational but emotional from beginning to end.
What a wonderous game.
I hope the sequel brings them to even greater heights.
