why doesn’t every creative director go around and do interviews like this? It’s definitely made me appreciate the game more because you can tell he really cares about the games he makes
Because not all creative directors have an engaging personality....in the gaming interview world, Cory, Michel Ancel and Ashraf Ismail really look like they enjoy their work and have put a part of their soul into the game....like until I look it up, I have no idea who is in charge of AC Odyssey
@@russellmasc As a long-time fan of the AC franchise, the director of the games changes again and again, which is why the game has lost its soul and consistency. Don't get me wrong, I still like the games, but the early games were at least done with passion. Wish there were more people like Cory in the industry who push their ideas forward. So it's also normal that people just don't get to see the director of games like AC Odyssey the way they see Cory, because the game and franchise doesn't reflect the vision of the director.
@@Jotakumon The Marvel Film's keep changing directors, yet their films still have a soul and consistency. And actually, if you spend time searching, especially on Twitter, you'll find that Ody's dev team are actually more fired up and enthusiastic about this game than prior ones. AC still has its soul and consistency and its better than ever
@@FraserSouris Not really. The way they handled the Isu and the Animus alone is inconsistent as hell, two major parts of the franchise. The Marvel movies, throughout the whole franchise, have the same tone, which cannot be said about the AC games. AC1-AC3 are consistent in tone. AC4 still works but is drifting apart. AC Unity goes more the vanilla/cookie cutter formula direction, which Syndicate then totally adopts. AC Origins then tries jumping back to the early ways of doing it, but entirely fails in conveying the same soul as the early AC games when it comes to the First Civilisation, the artefacts, and the vaults. Heck, there's a giant vault in the desert and nobody even cares, and when Bayek visits it, there's not a single element of surprise. Odyssey from what I played so far is close to Origins. Since Origins the game is also much more of a classic fantasy RPG, with beasts and gods appearing, actual magic that has no clear ties to the Isu, etc., whereas before the only "magic" was just technology that they didn't understand first. Entirely different than the early ACs. The new games are also way more combat focused, whereas the early games were clearly stealth games with some combat elements. The newer games have basically cut their ties with respect to the present day story as well, merely inserting cameos of William Miles, but hardly even touching the conflict against Abstergo. There are so many more things which just don't work with the franchise as a whole and make it very inconsistent. They kept firing members of the original team again and again, until at some point it stopped being what it was. Don't get me wrong, I like Odyssey, it's a really fun game, and they've done a lot of great things. I love the customisability (though I wished for more of the simple stuff, like changing hair, and overall appearance), I like the ships, I like the land you're exploring. But it's just not an AC game any more, and it has within itself a lot of direction issues (such as the horribly placed flashback scenes in the beginning of the game, just in the middle of a conversation). It's a great game still. But as a whole franchise, it's inconsistent and contradicts itself since AC Unity.
@@Jotakumon The franchise has always handled The animus and Isu in a weird way as they went on.

He also shook his head and said "yes" a lot. It'd be cool to remove the QTE's but at the same time they always allowed you to focus more on what's happening with the boss killing. FYI, some people (Especially Indians) shake when saying yes and nodding when saying no.
JZStudios Actually for me the first one had qte's that were rather punishing on the timing, and also on the center which took my focus from what was going on, but 3 I'm did it better with the white flashes on side to help the player with which button while not taking their attention from what's happening
True. I'm interested to know if they really did remove the QTE's and what the workaround could be. I'll be REALLY disappointed if you kill a big boss and it just cuts to cutscene or it slumps down on the floor. I think GOW was one of the few games where QTE's make sense, specifically the button mashing.
JZStudios I don't think they removed QTE's The troll battle during the reveal presentation at e3 2016 looked like the camera work for qte's.... Could be wrong but I hope not
KiwwwiMaster That question made me confused if anything. The way he answered it. Was that a wow as in like “what a dumb question?” Or like a wow like “are you serious? of course he does!”
@Sagan Unit your life is really sad and miserable if you think that. You should ask these women how hard it is to deal with you instead, and work on yourself to be a better person.
@Sagan Unit do you even know what triggered means? I'm not suffering from PTSD, thank you, and triggers don't work like that. Don't use words you don't understand, kid.
Love? He ruined the franchise completely and has been involved into creating average artistically mediocre games. He's getting on my nerves, really. I feel like punching him on the face.
Not quite sure what you mean by a smart phone complex, but you shouldn't be so afraid of change. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with wanting the old style to stay. But you'll have to understand that what you want would make the series boring and would prevent it from improving.
I HATE change! Especially when they try to change something that is exceptionally good already : / Smartphone complex is something like the atomic shelter complex described in a short story entitled "Foster, You're Dead!" written by P. K. Dick. New models of smartphones appear one after another and many people are obsessed with getting those newest. Kids watch adults going crazy about those smartphones and start going crazy themselves. It wasn't so 25 years ago. Well, some would go crazy about new PCs but that was uncomparable to current figures and smartphone related obsessions. This kind of thinking applies to games also, apparently. New character, new setting, new, new, new! I detest such approach. GoW could be improved a lot without changing that many elements.
He did say that some voice actors were reprising their roles. Since he only ones from the previous games we know of are Kratos and Athena, then Athena is coming back.
@@vinceunknown1935 that would be quite epic but I'd rejoyce more to see the return of the Spartan Spear. Of course I'd shit my pants to see Hades' claws come back but I don't expect them to reappear
White Wolf lol right, there are a lot although they are way different from the other ones. You actually press buttuns that make sense for them and they don't promt you with them anymore.
Mr. Sadist I think that could mean Hercules was immortal but any immortal God can only get killed by another God or a Demi God so the other beasts throughout the series couldn't have killed Kratos or Hercules but they could've inflicted some serious damage... Or there's more to it lol hopefully
Chris Ray Gun man I miss that game, never even had a PlayStation (I was like 5 and halo was the coolest thing at the time to me) but I'd always go to my cousins house and play his ps games, that was one I loved but sadly barely got to play
Oh, I'm sure he gets exhausted as are many people in the gaming industry. I'm just giving him props for being able to maintain a great personality for being in such a tired and stressed out state all the time.
Yes. He totally ruined GoW. GoW was great and now it is common mainstream average shit. I hate this guy because he's one of the persons responsible for that : (

JZStudios I don't think they removed QTE's The troll battle during the reveal presentation at e3 2016 looked like the camera work for qte's.... Could be wrong but I hope not
One of my favorite interviews ever.
Yeah, pity it was not with Abu Azrael, though ; )
Mr. Sadist who's abu Israel??
"Is the ash covering Kratos fading over time?"
"A little bit"
Interesting.
''Does Kratos remember the Titans?''
''Wow''
Best answer ever XD
KiwwwiMaster That question made me confused if anything. The way he answered it. Was that a wow as in like “what a dumb question?” Or like a wow like “are you serious? of course he does!”
KiwwwiMaster Kratos better remember giving the smack down on those titans 😂 that’s all I’m saying
Sean Raus you mean ripping gaia's arm off and gutting cronos? Yeah he better remember brutally murdering those fuckers
Remember the titans is a film and is used as a monicker in the question since Cory is a “film nerd”.
4:16 "Are there quicktime events in this game?"
Cory: *nods* "No"
Tai Peng He’s actually done that like twice
@@themusicmaster1077 yeah......with the question "is Atreus annoying?"
There arenone sadly :(
@@MRYoussefMohammed1 There kinda are during some boss fights. Mostly in the last one.
@@caesarthemonkey2488 yeah i know i meant when it shows on the screen where you press X or O when attacking a giant boss
"What was harder than making this game?"
"Child Birth..."
XD
@Sagan Unit your life is really sad and miserable if you think that. You should ask these women how hard it is to deal with you instead, and work on yourself to be a better person.
@Sagan Unit do you even know what triggered means? I'm not suffering from PTSD, thank you, and triggers don't work like that. Don't use words you don't understand, kid.

Btw i like how you just killed that "normal person".
@@EduardoContrerasD I am sorry .
1:13 “does the axe chops down tree”
“In the early game yes”
“Does the axe chop down any tree?”
“Let’s not get crazy”
lmao he asked ' what's your birthdate?' he answers " the day I was born" lol savage.
Angry Bulldog Gaming Dude was trying to get a date out of him so then he asked for Valentine's Day's Date lmao
Dark Sleuth lmao
Why do you think so?
Not too good. Would be much better if he said "not telling".
Angry Bulldog Gaming 😂😂😂
6:28
“Is there any chance Athena’s making a cameo?”
*Turns head slightly, small smile drops*
Yea
“Is the ash that covers kratos fading over time”
I thought I was the only one who noticed that about kratos
Didn't notice and played it 2 times to 100% xD
Me too lol especially around his elbows and arms
Wait, what?!
Dutch Van Der Linde yea he seems a bit more dark again
@@ВладиславБулаев-л3э Kratos skin had his old family ashes stuck to his skin as a curse. But now the ashes are starting to wear off
"Name something harder than making a game"
Him: Childbirth
C h o k e s
This man is just amazing
francis kratos12
He is awsome lol
Why would you think so?
He is very simpatic, I always enjoy hearing him speaking and I can always notice the lot of love that he has put into this franchise.
Love? He ruined the franchise completely and has been involved into creating average artistically mediocre games. He's getting on my nerves, really. I feel like punching him on the face.
First learn to speak with respect and then comment here.
Cory is such a chill dude.
He's awful. And he has killed the GoW series.
Strongly disagree. We've had the same God of War game for 10+ years to the point that it was starting to get stale. It needed a change, badly.
No, it did not. It was good as it was. New is not always better. The hell is this? Some smartphone complex?
Not quite sure what you mean by a smart phone complex, but you shouldn't be so afraid of change. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with wanting the old style to stay. But you'll have to understand that what you want would make the series boring and would prevent it from improving.
I HATE change! Especially when they try to change something that is exceptionally good already : / Smartphone complex is something like the atomic shelter complex described in a short story entitled "Foster, You're Dead!" written by P. K. Dick. New models of smartphones appear one after another and many people are obsessed with getting those newest. Kids watch adults going crazy about those smartphones and start going crazy themselves. It wasn't so 25 years ago. Well, some would go crazy about new PCs but that was uncomparable to current figures and smartphone related obsessions. This kind of thinking applies to games also, apparently. New character, new setting, new, new, new! I detest such approach. GoW could be improved a lot without changing that many elements.
6:28 When you put a cameo of Athena into the game and someone asks it...
Arda Yilal Indeed
Lmaoo he was like "O-O"
5:07 "Get out of my head" I love how he thinks before giving us a big spoiler without anyone noticing
He also pauses when asked about Athena
Lol, his face when he ask about Athena.
An Nguyen Hope she comes back. Really liked her
Didn't she like... Die... Or something?
Yeah, she's dead but she still there "higher than gods" with her plan, that bitch! You understand why he make that face when get asked about her :))
He did say that some voice actors were reprising their roles. Since he only ones from the previous games we know of are Kratos and Athena, then Athena is coming back.
Plus I think the evilness in her might be a related corruption from Pandora's box
"Did Kratos leave his weapons in Greece?"
"You'll find out"
BRO GIMME GOD OF WAR 5 RIGHT NOW
"I can neither confirm nor deny this" AYYYY BLADE OF CHAOS BABAYYYYY
@@LET4M4RU So he will use the Blade of Olympus against Thor since it can absorb electricity
@@vinceunknown1935 that would be quite epic but I'd rejoyce more to see the return of the Spartan Spear. Of course I'd shit my pants to see Hades' claws come back but I don't expect them to reappear
@@vinceunknown1935 however I think Athena has the blade of Olympus, after Kratos jammed it into his belly, Athena took it and fled with it
@@LET4M4RU I wonder if Athena will use Freya or Odin
“Is there any chance Athena is making a cameo?” As Cory at 6:30 just stares and it cuts to the next question lol whoops
I'm pretty sure that was his answer- no answer
Lol she does
Yes
Best question of the entire interview. Nailed it lol. Cory must be like "get out of my head already!?"
HE LITERALLY GOES "HOW THE F**K DO YOU KNOW THAT!"
"Name 1 thing harder than making this game."
"Child Birth"
Cory Barlog is a chad
6:22
“Side quests?”
“We don’t call them that, but yes.”
That one got me
The favors lol
@@escoseslauriestevea.2506 yea, hope they keep being favors in Ragnarok, would love a favor named "kill Kraken"
Joe: Is Kratos a spanker?
Cory: *Of his children,* no.
I was caught so off guard by Cory's response 😂
Me too,i laughed out loud soo hard! 😂
"to her wife yes"
@@a3r0ll3litmusic-officialch7
Don't kinkshame Faye.
a3r0ll3litmusic - Official Channel “her”?
Kratos is gonna give you the good ol’ Greek Pantheon treatment.
Kristian Hellwege hey if Faye wants to be a badass giant warrior woman on the battlefield and a kinky sub in the bedroom, more power to her.
1:36 HE DID HAVE THE SAME EXACT POSE !
When?
RJ I'm pretty sure he does it during the magic boat ride back home when Atreyus is sick.
......”No”
@@RJ-me2tv on the boat when he is after the blades of chaos
Joe: Is there any way Athena’s making a cameo??
Cory: ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
Is kratos a spanker?
To his son? No
Ey
tobi pohan what does the word spanker mean?
Excuse me I am an Egyptian😂
@@fareskhalifa8355 Someone who spanks someone's butt.
NinetyOne Siege oh😂
Thanks,bro
Fares Khalifa oh, my sweet innocent child...
Tyler Slagel oh daddy
I lost it at the "Yattaaa!"
By far best video of Game Informer!
Odinn - dope
Loki - super dope
Oh hell ya!
“Will athena be making a cameo in the game”
Cory in his mind: “He knows too much he must be eliminated”
"Are there quick time events?"
"No" while nodding his head yes lol
4:17
White Wolf we’ll see
Yup, I caught that too 👍🏻
I watched this today and it made me laugh since there are tons of quick time events xD
Uncommon Sense Wanted to say the same. Theres a shit load of em.
White Wolf lol right, there are a lot although they are way different from the other ones. You actually press buttuns that make sense for them and they don't promt you with them anymore.
This was so legendary lol Cory is hilarious. "Are you a good sport?"
"no"
I'm so ready... Fingers crossed they'll announce the release date soon (and that's it's actually March). Can't wait!
RobinGaming you!!! I'm big fan
Sri Lestari woah... WTF is your problem 😂
Sri Lestari Robin is not a fanboy.
Sri Lestari go fuck yourself. Yeah I'm sinking down to your level
RobinGaming 😂
5:08
Thats the line kratos said when he see athena
*Kratos is Still a God and he's Still immortal* I'm happy
How's that possible? He ceased to be a god at the beginning of GoW II.... o_O
Mr. Sadist Well, I mean, he still is and was a demigod, so...
Aha! A demi-god. I see. Were they immortal?
Mr. Sadist Don't think so. Hercules was a demi-god and look how he ended up. But I guess we'll get more details in the game
Mr. Sadist I think that could mean Hercules was immortal but any immortal God can only get killed by another God or a Demi God so the other beasts throughout the series couldn't have killed Kratos or Hercules but they could've inflicted some serious damage... Or there's more to it lol hopefully
WAR OF THE MONSTERS FINALLY GETS SONE FUCKING LOVE
Chris Ray Gun man I miss that game, never even had a PlayStation (I was like 5 and halo was the coolest thing at the time to me) but I'd always go to my cousins house and play his ps games, that was one I loved but sadly barely got to play
Ronald Ray Gun, my favorite president
I was going to comment that!!!
I got it on my PS4 and it's just so good
i loved that game on ps2! truly great that it's back on ps4!
Cory is so awesome. He always has that I'm too tired to be serious look and way to him.
miloandot well yeah, imagine having to do GOW
Guy is dope a hell, hope he can rest easy once they've finally shipped after all these years of making this game
miloandot he has a good sense of humor , I've seen almost all of his interview s he is always the funniest and more entertaining of the bunch
Oh, I'm sure he gets exhausted as are many people in the gaming industry. I'm just giving him props for being able to maintain a great personality for being in such a tired and stressed out state all the time.
“Is there any chance Athena is making a cameo?” *complete silence*

Some whimpy guy with a bad haircut and not too handsome.
Mr. Sadist what is your problem with him mate? You're hating on him on nearly every comment
Yes. He totally ruined GoW. GoW was great and now it is common mainstream average shit. I hate this guy because he's one of the persons responsible for that : (
Mr. Sadist well tho I understand your concerns for the new game and your problem with this person I believe we should give him and the game a chance.
Why? ; )
" Is Athena making a cameo in this game "
Cory Barlog:
4:16
"are their QTE in this game?"
Cory *nods yes*: "NO"
clever boi

Watching this after you’ve already played the game is actually gold
4:45 Wait. Kratos doesn't know Aloy "yet"?

Aloy of war: Money's Ascension

i love this guy's humor
"is there like border control"
"its a skarsgard"
lmao
This is...the only interview that I will occasionally come back and watch over again? Like...it's perfect.
I have a gut feeling that this game is gonna be a very solid 10/10.
Repetitive combat, an annoying sidekick that follows you the entire game, and a story based game. Don't think so
Justin Espeoni nigga stfu acting like you played the game 😂😂😴 im dead asf ! tf outta here kid .. 😂 games not even out yet LOL fucken dumbass
Justin Espeoni nerdy ass foo what kind of man puts a anime pic as there pic you that ugly ? 💀💀

My favorite part is when he’s asked if there will be QTEs in this game.
He responds by saying no and nodding yes lol
This is still the best Rapid Fire Questions. Cory is just so entertaining
One of the most unappreciated jokes of this whole video was the Norse border patrol is one of the Skarsgards ;)

Developer: is that a question?
"Boy, over my knee!"
Is Kratos a spanker?
Of his children? No.
"You know nothing of me!"
If he spank a child the most he could do is flick him so he wont accidentally kill him with his strength
@@SleepyTooski But Faye can take that spank, she's a fricking giant

Is he going to be annoying
“No”

1:39 That camera focus xD

-- Does that mean that Kratos will spank Freya in the game? sex confirmed?
No sex in GoW 2018. At all. Confirmed.

"Do they have nicknames for Kratos like snowskin?
"No"
Yeah because the real nickname is bearded beefer.
Mad snowman
I honestly do wanna see that name somewhere in the sequel.
Are there any quick-time puzzles?
