“Looks like crap”: the creator of God of War commented on the announcement of God of War: Laufey
God of War creator David Jaffe spoke rudely about the announcement of God of War: Laufey for PlayStation 5. In his opinion, the gameplay shown at the State of Play looked boring, secondary and uninteresting.
If this game had no connection with Kratos, it might have gone unnoticed altogether, says a former Santa Monica Studio employee.What he saw also brought to mind the failed Square Enix game Forspoken.
“Looks like crap, to be honest.Reminds me of Forspoken.If you took God of War out of the name and didn't tell people it was related to Kratos, no one would be talking about this game."
The developer was of the opinion that the studio was trying to create a completely new IP, but in the end was forced to turn its work into God of War with a female character.The final result is only vaguely reminiscent of the series he invented, Yaffe pointed out.He didn't like that the game had lost its former cruelty and recognizable mythological basis.
“Corey Barlog is incredibly talented.He's a much better screenwriter than I've ever been.He is a very competent person.But it seems to me that they refused to give him money for a completely new project and asked him to “do what you want, but within the framework of God of War.”
Jaffe liked some elements of Laufey's combat system.But at the same time, he expressed confidence that the game would not be able to meet Sony’s commercial expectations and would sell worse than God of War (2018) and God of War: Ragnarök.
In addition to God of War: Laufey, Jaffe also criticized Marvel's Wolverine, calling Insomniac Games' game "as sterile as possible" and "formulaic" in terms of gameplay.Otherwise, he liked the June State of Play presentation.
David Yaffe has long since moved away from creating games and has actually turned into a YouTuber.He has long criticized the development of the God of War series and scolds former colleagues for “taking a wrong turn.”So, in February, the developer called God of War: Sons of Sparta a “garbage hack.”
