While putting together my portfolio, I came across this video about the cameras in God Of War. I found it highlighted so many things that the team worked on, I created this post to share it. Please give it a watch if you haven’t played the games and want to see some of the cool shots we put together.

I feel the God Of War camera system is a criminally underused component that more games should adopt. Fixed cameras serve a purpose for players in a hack-n-slash game, do more good than harm, and provide a POV that is unique compared to 100% user controlled cameras. I’ll share some additional thoughts about fixed cameras and why games shouldn’t abandon them in a later post.
