God of War creator David Jaffe revealed a fun fact about Kratos, the main character of the God of War franchise.
Just days before the release he was painted blue and not red. Wonder why they changed it to red? Find out inside.
The first Kratos model was painted blue but looked a lot like the Barbarian character of Diablo II. The creator didn’t want to have and similarities to another character so he changed the color.
Literally days before we announced the first game to the press, this was Kratos
But someone at the team showed him this:
If you don’t know, this is the Barbarian from Diablo II. I had played Diablo I but never II, and this was sure news to me. As it was to clearly to many/all others on the team, as this was the first we’d heard of the character, let alone the similarity.
So you can bet we changed it, lickity fuckin’ split!
