Three Months Ago, God of War Ragnarok Devs Said, ‘Holy Crap, The Game’s Not Good. What Are We Going to Do?’
Three months ago, way before God of War Ragnarok was awarded by IGN and many others glowing review scores, some of the devs were “freaking out” and thought to themselves, “holy crap, the game’s not good. What are we going to do?”
Speaking to GQ UK, God of War Ragnarok director Eric Williams was asked how he stays motivated and handles the pressure of following up on one of the most-beloved games in recent memory in 2018’s God of War.
Alongside sharing that some people don’t realize it’s not as easy as it may seem to follow up a game that reached such high heights as, “you never hear anyone say, ‘the second time I climbed Everest, it was easy,” he also gave some fascinating insight into the mindset of the team just three months ago.
“When you work with people that are at the apex of what they do, you’re going to get magic,” Williams said. “I just came from a room with those people. All I could say to them was, ‘Thank you.’ They were freaking out three months ago, ‘Holy crap, the game’s not good. What are we going to do?’ I can’t even imagine how they feel today. I wish I had a time machine to go back and feel like that.”
Williams also discussed the decision to make Kratos’ Norse mythology journey only two games and not a trilogy.
“We knew what most of the big plot points were going to be,” Williams said on what they knew going into Ragnarok after finishing 2018’s God of War. “But at the time we were still talking about ‘Is it going to be two or three games?’ Me and [Cory Barlog] were kind of on the side of two, but the team had already kind of bought into the trilogy. So we’re like, ‘Well how do we walk this back?’
“It’s really difficult to do. Because [the team] started to go, ‘Well, are we just going to cram two games into one? Because that’s going to be impossible.’ People know [trilogies] and when you change things, people get uncomfortable. But that’s usually where the magic happens. If I don’t feel like I’m scared, like I’m literally gonna get fired every day, because I screwed up, I don’t feel like I’m doing it right.”
Despite some things getting “readjusted and reconfigured for pacing,” Williams also confirmed God of War Ragnarok’s story was not scaled back at all after they decided to make this saga just two games.
We here at IGN were all for the decisions the team made as we awarded God of War Ragnarok a rare 10/10. In our review, we said, “an enthralling spectacle to behold and an even more exciting one to take the reins of, God of War Ragnarok melds action and adventure together to create a new, unforgettable Norse saga. Impeccable writing, pitch-perfect performances, knockout action – it’s a complete work of art from top to bottom.”

McCarthy tells GOP to stop attacking each other: ‘Cut that crap out’
“Cut that crap out,” McCarthy told his members, according to two sources on the call. McCarthy said he’s had personal discussions with individual members and warned that a continued GOP vs. GOP battle will only benefit Democrats as his party aims to recapture the majority in next year’s midterms.
“No more attacks to one another,” he said, including over Twitter.
One GOP lawmaker, who asked not to be named, said that McCarthy’s message overall was upbeat and hopeful. “He said the only thing that can stop us from taking the majority is us.”
The internecine attacks have been relentless in recent days as much of the conference has sided with Trump while others have split from the former President, including Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, the No. 3 Republican, and nine of her colleagues who voted to impeach Trump on a charge of inciting an insurrection that led to the deadly Capitol riot on January 6. Trump’s defenders in the conference are trying to oust Cheney from her leadership position, while Cheney’s backers are confident they can beat back that effort, though the topic did not surface on Wednesday’s call, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The call, which was hosted by the National Republican Congressional Committee, was aimed at ensuring that members ponied up money to help win back the majority, with GOP members pledging more than $2 million to the party campaign committee.
And on the call, sources said, Republicans committed to filling the NRCC’s coffers, including controversial freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. The Georgia Republican promised to pay her dues and transfer $175,000 to the NRCC, which prompted the committee’s chairman, Minnesota Rep. Tom Emmer, to thank her during the call, the sources said.
Greene herself has been engaged in a Twitter war with one fellow House Republican, Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who has warned his party not to follow her brand of politics. CNN reported Tuesday that Greene repeatedly indicated support for executing prominent Democratic politicians in 2018 and 2019 before being elected to Congress, which has drawn backlash from lawmakers including Kinzinger.
But McCarthy is eager to keep those disputes private. A spokesman for the GOP leader did not respond to a request for comment.
During the call, lawmakers also discussed other matters — including the decision by Speaker Nancy Pelosi to install metal detectors just off the House floor, something that has enraged many Republicans. North Carolina Rep. Richard Hudson urged his colleagues to not create scenes off the floor and in the presence of reporters — and to instead channel their objections internally so they can work to modify the system, the sources said.
McCarthy is scheduled to meet with Trump on Thursday, CNN confirmed. That meeting was first reported by Punchbowl News.
