God Of War: 9 New Things We Can't Wait To Do

8. See How Well The 'One Shot Camera' Works

From the moment you boot up God of War to the moment the credits roll, the entirety of Kratos' adventure won't cut to a different angle, even a single time.

This is alongside the camera being closer to Kratos than it was in any other release, making combat more visceral and ensuring that both in gameplay and cinematics, perspectives will constantly be moving, with the developers hoping to create a more kinetic and personal experience that follows the characters and action more intimately.

Although this may seem like something which could be relatively easy to accomplish, Cory Balrog has repeatedly stated just how impossible it was to pull the feature off, with the suggestion even being turned down in the past at some of the other companies he worked at. The new camera is going to give God of War a completely distinct visual edge, and could usher in a more empathetic, cinematic presentational style going forward.
