PAX 2012: God of War: Ascension Panel Highlights
This past weekend at PAX, I was fortunate enough to moderate a panel with some of the top minds working on God of War: Ascension. While getting inside the heads of the creators of Kratos’ next adventure was a treat, we did a lot more than just talk. The team brought early sketches Kratos and the first playable video of God of War, before the Blades of Chaos were irrevocably bound to his forearms. We also revealed Ascension’s big bads, the Furies, with a close look at Mageara, the enforcer of the group. While we streamed the panel live, courtesy of Twitch.tv, you’re forgiven for missing it last Friday evening. But the excuses are gone now – we’ve cut down the hourlong panel into a 10-minute highlight reel. Take a look: Your panelists, from left to right: Mark Simon – Lead Designer on God of War: Ascension Patrick Murphy – Principal Character Artist for God of War: Ascension Marianne Krawczyk – award-winning writer of the God of War series Todd Papy – Game Director on God of War: Ascension
