David Jaffe says he would change God of War to include structure from Zelda
David Jaffe, the creator of God of War, recently posted some messages on his Twitter account reflecting on what he would change in the series. Of course, the gameplay style of God of War is set in stone and Jaffe no longer works on the franchise. Nonetheless, Jaffe seems to appreciate Zelda and explained that he would mix God of War together with the structure from the Zelda titles on the N64 if he had the chance to make the first game now.
“If I were to do GOW now, I would do GOW meets ZELDA 64 structure. Much more interested in immersive games now vs. scripted experiences…But I think Zelda open world+GOW puzzles/combat=pretty good mash. Many other games have mash’d that up…Not to imply I don’t love GOW. I DO very much. But I just would not design it the same way now, in 2010.”
