God of War :
Kratos is a warrior who serves the Greek lords of Olympus. Flashbacks reveal that he was at one time an effective yet homicidal captain in the Spartan army and drove his men to several triumphs before being defeated by a barbarian lord. Facing death, Kratos called on the God of War, Ares, whom he promised to serve if the god would spare his men and give them the ability to annihilate their foes. Ares agreed and reinforced the Blades of Chaos, a pair of chained blades fashioned in the profundities of Tartarus, to his new servant. Kratos, outfitted with the blades, at that point decapitated the barbarian lord.
Kratos waged war at the command of Ares, eventually leading an attack on a village involved by admirers of Athena. Obscure to Kratos, Ares had subtly transported Kratos' significant other and daughter to the village; during his furious attack on its sanctuary, Kratos accidentally murdered them while he was under a spell cast upon him by Ares. Although Ares accepted this act would free Kratos to turn into the ideal warrior, the astonished and saddened Spartan instead repudiated his promise of subjugation to the god, and swore vengeance against him. The oracle of the decimated village reviled Kratos by holding the ashes of his dead family to his skin, turning it ash-white, and earning him the nickname, "Apparition of Sparta". Plagued by nightmares of his shocking deed, Kratos pledged to serve different divine beings in anticipation of freeing himself of the visions.
At the point when the game starts, Kratos has been serving the divine beings for ten years. He slaughters the Hydra on behalf of Poseidon, yet he has become burnt out on his administration and languishing. He calls Athena, who states that if Kratos performs one final act—the homicide of Ares—he will be excused for murdering his family. Ares is waging war on the city of Athens out of hatred and jealousy of his sister Athena, who assigns Kratos to annihilate Ares because Zeus has taboo heavenly intercession. Athena guides Kratos to the war-torn Athens. After a strange experience with a gravedigger who encourages him to proceed with his task, Kratos battles his way to Athens' oracle, discovers her, and learns that the best way to defeat Ares is with Pandora's Box, a mythical artifact that grants the ability to execute a divine being.
Kratos enters the Desert of Lost Souls, and Athena reveals to him Pandora's Box is covered up in a sanctuary chained to the back of the Titan Cronos—a punishment by Zeus for Cronos' job in the Great War. Kratos summons Cronos moves for three days before reaching the Temple entrance, conquers an array of deadly traps and an army of beasts, and eventually finds the Box. In any case, Ares, aware of his previous servant's prosperity, slaughters Kratos as he is leaving the Temple by heaving a large pillar into him. While harpies take the Box to Ares, Kratos falls into the Underworld. He battles his way through the red hot realm, and with assistance from the strange gravedigger, who discloses to him Athena is by all account not the only god watching over him, he escapes and comes back to Athens.
Kratos recoups Pandora's Box from Ares, opens it, and utilizes its capacity to get supernatural. Despite Ares' earnest attempts to obliterate Kratos physically and mentally, including stripping him of the Blades of Chaos and all magic, he endures and executes Ares with the Blade of the Gods, a giant sword that was being utilized as an ornamental extension to Athens. Athens is saved, and Athena discloses to Kratos that although his transgressions are pardoned, the divine beings cannot erase his nightmares. Forsaken by the divine beings, he attempts to end it all by casting himself into the Aegean Sea, yet Athena intercedes and transports him to Mount Olympus. As a reward for his administrations to the divine beings, she gives Kratos another arrangement of blades and the seat as the new God of War.
Santa Monica began the improvement of God of War in 2002, under the working title Dark Odyssey,[24] and divulged it two years later at SCEA Santa Monica Gamers' Day 2004. In a gathering with GameSpot at the 2004 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), the engineers said there would be 15 to 25 unique attacks with the player's main weapon in the final game, with a freestyle combo framework that would allow players to join moves in almost any request. GameSpot said the engineers depicted the gameplay "as combining the action of Devil May Cry with the riddle unraveling of Ico" and noticed that players would have the option to "divide foes with a solitary move, for example, by tearing them in half".
Game Director and creator David Jaffe affirmed the game would be a cinematic presentation. He said that at E3, they got the opportunity to see where players were having issues with the camera framework and said, "we are doing broad center tests, and utilizing data aggregated from E3, to discover and fix the difficult areas" of the cameras. He said he had the certainty that the team would fix the issues before the game's release. In any case, he said if players "hate cinematic camera frameworks, nothing we can do will help you as the God of War cameras". The game uses Santa Monica's Kinetica motor, which they produced for their past game, Kinetica (2001).
Although the game is based on Greek folklore, the improvement team gave themselves "bunches of opportunity" to adjust the legends, and Jaffe said they took the "coolest aspects of the subject" and composed a story utilizing those components. In a meeting for Eurogamer, he said while the idea for God of War was his own, the idea owed an obligation to Capcom because he had played Onimusha and said: "how about we do that with Greek Mythology". He was motivated in part by the 1981 feature film, Clash of the Titans, saying, "the real high idea for me was ... consolidating it with Heavy Metal magazine". He said he loved both "the child's stuff ... with Greek Mythology" and the idea of adding progressively adult topics, for example, sex and savagery.
After E3 2004, Jaffe disclosed to IGN that the creative team's goal was to "make the player feel brutal, letting their repressed monster free and simply going crazy". He said the game's combat framework would have an unparalleled level of opportunity. The team structured two frameworks of combat: a "macro" framework, which gives players the decision between normal combat, magical attacks, or utilizing the QTE feature to slaughter an enemy; and a "miniaturized scale" framework, where players press a grouping of catches to perform various attacks. Riddles were actualized, including independent ones that incorporate up to three rooms of the game, and global riddles that spread across four or five areas. Jaffe compared the game to the popular Prince of Persia arrangement—which also incorporates puzzle and platforming components—and said that while each puzzle in that arrangement is a slight variation of the last, "each puzzle in God of War is its own beast".
Frank Cifaldi of Gamasutra secured a discourse by Jaffe on the improvement of God of War at the 2006 D.I.C.E. Highest point in Las Vegas. Cifaldi said "Lord of War was a rare open door for a game architect" because Sony gave Jaffe nearly complete creative control to build up a game on his footing with a substantial spending plan. He stated that Jaffe wanted to make the game "out of passion, not fear and that it would be a game that [Jaffe] himself, as a game player, would want to play". Jaffe said the 1981 film Raiders of the Lost Ark also enlivened the advancement of God of War; he wanted to make players feel like he felt as a kid watching that film, however, would not like to place the player in the job of an adventurer, referencing The Legend of Zelda games. He elaborated that God of War was intended to be simplistic and forward-moving, however, the game "is not innovative or exceptional, and that's intentional". Jaffe said that their framework was shallow and "it constrained the team to constantly create new substance to trapeze the player starting with one area of intrigue then onto the next". He said he comprehended the modular game plan—the need to have great looking, high-detail levels without having to manufacture and surface each minute bit of the earth, however "[he] would get exhausted" if they didn't step outside of those boundaries.
