SIE SANTA MONICA STUDIO (GOD OF WAR)
The two eras of God of War are extremely different from each other- one is over-the-top and constantly revels in it, and the other, newer era is thoughtful and intimate. It really says something about SIE Santa Monica is storytellers that they’ve succeeded at both styles in such impressive fashion. The series’ cutscenes have gone from the adrenaline-fueled highs of fighting literal titans against sweeping backgrounds of staggering scale, to the diametrically opposed cinematics of the 2018 game, with its one-shot camera and extremely zoomed in style, and yet each method has been equally effective. We can’t wait to see where the series goes next.
