From the beginning, Sony Santa Monica Studios God of war was meant to be played from a third person perspective. But now a user has decided to mix things up and see what the game would look like from a completely different point of view. The result is an interesting one that still emphasizes how remarkable the animation work in the game is.
Spotted in a new video from Speclizer, the user created a mod to show us what the world is about God of war looks like from the first person. The video highlights this perspective through the eyes of a number of different characters from the game, including Kratos, Atreus and Mimir. With so many characters appearing much closer to the screen than usual thanks to this mod, it is much more striking to see how lifelike the facial animations are in God of war As a whole.
The only flaw of the video is that we don’t get to see what a fight looks like from this perspective. Of course, that would be a much bigger task to work properly, but unfortunately, we’ll just have to keep imagining what it would look like. A handful of the main cutscenes from God of war are the only sections highlighted in this video.
It’s also worth noting that if you watch the video attached above there are some pretty big spoilers for God of war including. If you somehow still haven’t played the game for yourself, you might just want to watch the first few scenes instead of watching the whole thing. You also absolutely must play God of war if you have the resources to do this as it is one of the best games in recent years.
As for the future of God of war, the next installment in the series is said to be out on PlayStation 5 (and possibly PlayStation 4) this year. While it still doesn’t have an official title, God of War: Ragnarok, as many call it, more should be featured as we continue through 2021.
