God of War Dev Explains the Crazy Little Details of Kratos’ Boat
Whether in the Lake of Nine or Helheim, God of War players spend much of their time in boats, and now Sony Santa Monica has opened up to give players an idea of the work that went into making that happen.
In a Developer Diary post on the PlayStation Blog Dean Rymer, God of War's Senior Combat Designer, went into detail about the technical challenges of creating the boat, as well as some historical context for its inclusion.
According to Rymer, Sony Santa Monica's Creative Director, Cory Barlog, was looking for an opportunity to introduce a boat since God of War II, but there never was "a narrative conceit to justify" it until the introduction of the Lake of Nine in the series' latest installment.
Just Cause 4’s New Tools Offer Insane Possibilities
I spent countless hours in Just Cause 3 and it’s subsequent DLCs doing little more than wingsuiting around, blowing up bridges and messing with the physics engine. The fun of Just Cause has always been hurling vehicles around, tethering items together, and attaching rocket thrusters to things that have no business having rocket thrusters attached. If the number of times I found myself ugly-laughing as the newly-redesigned Apex engine worked its magic in my recent hands-on demo was any indication, I’m probably going to end up dumping countless more hours into Just Cause 4.
