God of War director Cory Barlog reacts to reviews
- Thread starter Nintendo
- Start date
So happy for Cory and the team. Won't get a chance to dive in until i've beaten Yakuza 6, but i'm really looking forward to it.
Congrats to the team. The game looks stunning and was created with care and craftsmanship. Game development is hard and I'm glad it also payed off on a personal level.
really happy for that whole studio, like he said reviews shouldn't matter as much as they do but, well, they do
can't wait to play the game

The note and dedication to his son for the video is so much more touching than the video itself. Congratulations on being a fantastic father Cory! (and a battlestar fan haha) we need more dads brave enough to lead their lives as an example to their kids. It takes a whole other sort of courage.
Cory is one of the best figures in the industry and this video is incredible. So happy to be supporting this team with my $70.
I have two separate thoughts on this bizarre video.
1) My human side is saying that's sweet. Nice to see someone validated for years of hard work, and sharing that with everyone. Congratulations.
2) My cynical side just simply has to say that this is a bit on the nose, don't you think? The day before the game comes out; a game focusing on making Kratos into a dad. Then he dedicates his metacritic tears to his son to show him it's okay to cry?
I'm like 50/50 on this, in thinking it's nice, and kind of hoping this never happens again because this is a very bizarre viral marketing video. I can just picture a less popular person, or company putting out a video like this and it really not landing well.
Either way though, congrats. Hyped to play the game tomorrow.

Powerfull stuff. Cory is THE MAN.
Can't wait to play this masterpiece.
Edit: you can see the amount of pressure getting out of him. I never doubted him from the moment I saw the making of God of War 2 video. Congratulations Cory!

Well deserved, Cory. It is OK to cry. And yes, Helo needs to know that it's OK to be sad and cry, even as an adult. Even as an adult, I cry. I cried when my grandpa died. I cry whenever my love life goes belly up. And it's OK. Crying is.. It shows that you have emotions. It shows that you are alive. It may be sad, it may hurt, but it's a reminder that you are a living, feeling individual. We as humans are more than just walking bags of flesh and bones. We are personalities with feelings. It's OK to cry.
You and your team has done great work, and I love how you've incorporated the mythological heritage of my ancestors into one of my favourite video game series. And how you took God of War to another level.
And, in a language Kratos from the new God of War might understand:
Jeg ønsker deg alt godt, og lykke til videre.

That his privat Youtube channel and his private twitter account.
What a great moment. Thanks for sharing this, Cory. Can't wait to pick up my copy tomorrow! Congrats!
Well I didn't know that. I just know the game comes out tomorrow, and clicked on the thread. Someone's private account is a different issue of course.
Aww, that's nice. I'm happy for Cory.
It must be cathartic to not only see your hard work come to fruition but for it to be so well received.

Wow he guy is genuinely excited and emotional. We've been talking to him all night. He's a humble guy. Shame on you for this hot take.
