this man is a gift and a prince

I think one of the best moments is when Atreus tells Kratos he doesnt care about her mother and Kratos stop rowing and aswers: don't misundertand my silence with lack of pain. Each one mourns in his own way. That single moment cold froze my blood.

God of War (2018) was such a good game. I'm so glad it won Game of the Year. It, and Cory, really deserved that award.

This was such a great interview! Cory Barlog is awesome :)

1) Christopher Judge's "Indeed" a few hours into God of War is one of the greatest easter eggs ever and had me laughing for minutes. 2) Knowing that Cory Barlog was obsessed with Stargate SG-1, just like I was, makes me love this game even more

At first I was like "no way I'm going to watch an interview for 16 minutes". 16 minutes later, "That's it? where's the rest of it??"

This is so great. This is what gaming is about... Not lootboxes, not Twitch views, this.

"Directing the God of War" sounds like what I have to do when my 8 year old cousin is visiting too so I guess you could definately say I can relate

Excellent! Cory is so charismatic, its a joy to listen to him.

God of War is on another level. Indeed.

The fact that this game is all in ONE camera shot is an achievement in itself

I get it, I get when those games are so good. Because they have descent, honest people behind them. They are build with passion and love. Thank you for this wonderful interview, I enjoyed every second of it.

Wins Game of the Year, still has improvements in mind. I respect this mans ambition.

Cory Barlog is a god.

IM A SINGLE FATHER OF A 9 YEAR OLD. MY WIFE DIED FROM CANCER 5 YEARS AGO AND THIS GAME TOUCHED ME SO DEEP.

This channel is GOLD !

Teaching and upgrading your kid being linked to calling an assist in MvC2 is wild.

Cory Barlog: If you're reading this by any chance - you are one of the guys in this industry I look up to as one of the greats. And I have done so since I saw you on the behind the scenes tapes for GOW2. You stuck out to me as someone who really poured his soul and essence into the art he makes. You looked like you were about to die during GOW2, but you guys pulled through and made one of the best action/adventure games ever. Now with the new one, you reinvented it and did the unimaginable thing of getting way more stuff right than you did wrong, on the first try. People like to criticize the new GOW (I do too, but I love it), but it's easy to do so when you don't have a probably 50-100 million dollar project on the line that depends on YOU. GOW is an amazing game and I like what you did with it. It's by far the one game of 2018 I got the most enjoyment out of. Thank you for doing right by Kratos and not fucking up his character. You actually continued the series instead of rebooting it. As a mega-fan of GOW, I can't thank you enough for that. Now, because I know from all the interviews you did over the years that you're an extremely self-critical guy who actually wants to improve all the time, I thought it would be nice to link you to what I think is the harshest critique of your game. I don't agree with everything he said at all, but there are some good things in it. Still, the game is much greater than the sum of its parts so even though what he says might be true, it doesn't drag the game down for me. I consider these things small quirks that can be ironed out in a potential sequel. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f6uCe7B-vcvXmJc.html Keeping in mind what you said about Atreus in this Noclip documentary, I think you might actually agree with this critique on the point of passing the torch to Atreus through gameplay rather than an XP upgrade system. And as a gamer, I of course have no idea what ideas you were throwing around behind the scenes but didn't have the time/resources to develop them, or you had to cut stuff. Lmao he's never gonna read this. I cringe thinking about anyone reading this.

I love how open Cory is with these interviews. He's so passionate and so talkative about his creation that he wants to be in interviews to share his thoughts. That's how every game director should be...

Ha, when I got to that point and Kratos said "Indeed" I literally yelled "YES!!" - really glad they put that reference in!

This guy is really incredible at directing games. Playing the game myself got me thinking about a lot of aspects, the relationships between fathers and sons, the feeling of duty, anger, empathy, teaching others, your experience and it's protection, thinking that you know better and can decide for someone else as well as giving your all for someone else without them really understanding. Kratos himself is a difficult character and though being a God, feels so human. Especially the part about fatherhood really struck me and the last bit of the interview really got to me. This is what really takes this game beyond games themselves and I'm very thankful for the possibility to experience that. I sincerely hope that he will make more awesome games in the future and will be given the artistic freedom to do it his way.

So cool to understand the tremendous amount of consideration that goes into these games BEFORE production even begins. Gaming is the future of Art.

What an experience God of War, thanks Cory and Santa Monica Studios

Damn this was good. Felt a bit short maybe cause I love to hear Cory speak. He is so good with words. Hopefully there are more of these little device diary sort of things

This interview is awesome, but is too short! I would really love to have a full documentary on how this great game was conceptualized and made from start to finish. Great video as always!

Damn the lore around the Trolls sounded so cool ! I hope they'll manage to put those ideas in the next game.

I literally cried when he told the story of that guy reconnecting with his father

That Cannon Fodder clip tho ;) This was amazing interview with one of the most talented minds in the industry! Thank you, guys!

It's not tears in my eyes. It's dust. I'm not crying, *you're crying*! Holy shit that last segment. Great, great video.

Seriously cant wait for the sequel, such an amazing experience, emotional and powerful. Thank you Cory, you and your team did an amazing job.

I could listen to him talk all day, this man is a legend, he sound so beyond humble, always love his interviews,

Can I just say something here? Look, in this day and age of mass saturation of media and entertainment I am always blown away by how on the mark Noclip is. I am so grateful for this channel, for these videos, and for the crew who goes into making these documentaries. With all the bullshit in this world, it's nice to have the limited escape Noclip gives us! I've said it a hundred times and I will say it probably on more videos in the future... Y'all are the best channel on KZfaq! Thanks! "Indeed!" hehe

I love the way Cory see’s things and how open he is about game development and how it effects him and those around him. A true role model

I've become so conditioned with the landscape of youtube to roll my eyes at video titles like this one. I'm used to seeing similar presentation result in nebulous video essays that only succeed at wasting time. I've been subscribed to this channel for a very short time, but I've found myself deeply charmed by the dedication to substance and reality that you carry into each new video. Keep subverting the expectations of bitter bastards like myself, your efforts are appreciated.

Well deserved GOTY of 2018, stands way above the rest.

I spoke with Cory Barlog & he is a very nice person. He gave me his time & it was genuine. Thank you Cory!

Such a brutal, visceral, heart wrenching, anger inducing, awe inspiring and enchanting experience this game was for me. It was the very first game I ever completed on my very first Playstation ever last year, and I will cherish the experience fpr many many years to come.

11:14 makes sense, the game was fantastic but the enemy variety was very disappointing i got bored of fighting different reskins of trolls as bosses throughout the game but now watching this i realized they were planning to have more variety but they just didn't have the time or the budget, hopefully they make up for it in the sequel.

As an SG1 fan, I couldn't help smiling at the "Indeed" reference.

You've made a Masterpiece Cory. Thank you!

Started playing this again on PS5, 60fps is completely transformative

Thank you Cory, I've been playing God of War since the first one came out... and since then it has been my favorite game of all time. I'm so proud of the direction God of War is going, and I'm so happy it's in good hands, I dont think the industry knows how much this means to us as the consumer of this arts. Beautiful work.

oh gosh, I have tears in my eyes watching this no clip, cause I know how the person who spoke with Barlog feels. God of War was an experience to me and maked me watch the world with other eyes. Thank you for this beautiful video.

Finally a good person in the gaming industry that does it for the art and not greed.

God of War is a masterpiece.

That father-son story ......right in the feels man.

Theres something about Cory Barlog that I find fascinating. Could listen to him all day. He has this fantastic way with words and makes everything sound like an amazing story (ok so he's actually telling stories most of the time, I get it).

Dude, every time I see any interview with Cory, it makes me wanna play GOW again! He talks with so much passion and looks like a really honest person. Gotta love the guy!!

I had never played any God of War game before I played this one and oh my god, this game is one of the best games I've ever played. The combat made you feel powerful when done right, the story was incredible, the graphics and gameplay was on point. I can't sing it's praises enough. Oh and the voice acting was amazing too!

*B O I*

One of the best interviews of this channel i would love to see more than just 16 minutes of Cory.

MORE! MORE GOD OF WAR! MORE CORY BARLOG! MOAR!

I suspect now that the reason God of War left a hell of an impression on people is because of the Father/Son relationship that Im sure many related with, myself included. The gameplay was very fucking good as well, not Exceptional or anything but it was as good as it needed to be to further illustrate the Power Fantasy of being Kratos. I wonder though what'll be next? It seems that Atreus has found his balance, so what will the drama be about next game?

Ah hell yes stargate talk

This is why reading is important. Knowledge and in depth points of view.

"Indeed" I picked it up, and fucking LOVED it. So glad to hear not just Danny is an SG-1 fan, but Cory too.

The soundtrack was amazing too especially baldur's theme I hope there will be an even more epic music when we fight thor in the next game

That troll lore sounds so dope! Man I wonder what other enemy types we would’ve had in the game!

Excellent content as always. Thanks for bringing this to us Noclip!

Cory continues to be so inspiring to listen to. I love that he's not just passionate about his latest masterpiece of a game but he also has so much to say about art in general, the development of film and how gaming has been on a similar path. I'm glad that we've come to this point where we don't have to focus on the arms race of visuals and we can shift more towards substantial storytelling.

Absolutely the best interview with Cory Barlog! Great job with this one NoClip. Love, Love, LOVE Cory Barlog.

Great interview with great questions! The last bit about the guy getting in touch with his father again almost brought tears to my eyes. Cory's a really great guy btw!

That story about the man and his dad almost brought a tear to my eye. I had the same feelings about my Pap during my playthrough. Just because someone close to you may have never said "I love you", doesn't mean they don't struggle within themselves trying to show it. ...Great Interview, Yesclip.

God of War mentions of the MVC2 Doom Rocks. Signs of a great day to come

Cory Barlog is one of my favorite developers, and I love listening to him talk. He's incredibly sincere and passionate about what he does. I wish this was an hour long.

This guy is gonna create (other) amazing experiences in the future.

I could watch 10 hours of Cory Barlog interviews. Please do more on this amazing amazing game.

Thank you for this great editing! It still keeps me watching this! I love the way you put the music in the beginning, just gives me the chills

I’m glad that the cast gets along so well

The first 3 minutes alone are worth the watch. The complete interview is magnificent.

for me, atreus is the biggest part, he did great job playing his role as child and grown up in the progress of the game

Fantastic interview. I really enjoy listening to this man talk. I watched the "Raising Kratos" video that PlayStation put out, which, don't get me wrong, was a great video, and was awesome to see the entire Santa Monica team, and their journey through development of the game. But I enjoy hearing JUST Cory Barlog talk about it, because honestly, this game would not be what it is without him. It was his vision that brought it to life. So I want to hear MORE of this kind of interview. Thanks for doing this Danny.

Whats interesting in the interview is its evident how much Cory and his team imbued the characters with their own emotional sensibilities to the extent you can actually FEEL this when playing the game. Its amazing that the complexity of videogames as an art form has progressed to this point where we get a 'sense' of the artists own emotional take on the scenario we virtually experience. SO glad to be a gamer in 2019! Another great noclip video!

The story about the guy who reconnected with his father because of this game is why this game is fucking art. When he said the guy said, ‘Playing this game helped me understand my father...’ dude...that’s beautiful.

Thank you Cory Barlog and team for bringing one of my favorite series to life in more modern day!

Cory Barlog represents the gaming industry so well, both as a creator and a commentator. This is a wonderful example of that. I'm remiss that it's so short, but what's contained in these 16minutes is densely robust with some of the deepest discussion on his game and the industry as a whole. Possibly my favourite Noclip video of all time.

That story about the guy and his father nearly had me in tears. Cory and his team truly made a legendary game

Damn, a fighting game was an inspiration for Atreus' AI, I guess? That's wild.

Cory barlog and Hideo kojima are the two people that i respect the most in this fantastic industry, you can feel the passion throught everything they make, say and post on social media, i feel blessed

I very much relate to understanding my father after playing the game. I felt that it was very much Atreus' story, but Kratos' journey moved me greatly. I've made a lot of bad choices that I spent a long time dwelling on and trying to be better. Kratos throughout the game is learning that what he has done does not need to define him. Congratulations to Cory and the whole production team, and thank you for showing me that I can be better.

This is beautiful work NoClip...nicely edited, and Cory is such an interesting character in the games industry. As an animator myself, I have the utmost respect for his humble beginnings, his hard work and I am proud of all his achievements. He is setting a standard for all of us aspiring game makers. The future is bright.

How could you possibly dislike this?

The game was an ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE. I've never been so drawn into a story then I have in this game. The Father, Son dynamic was beautiful and the mythology felt so natural and I liked Kratos more as a character than I ever have in the past GOW games.

This video, channel, Cory and co are just brilliant!

For some reason I wasn't getting any of noclips videos in my sub box but I'm glad that this one did!

I could listen to Cory Barlog all day long. What an amazing person.

The story Cory told about the guy who reconnected with his father got me in the feels. It great to see how a game could impact someone's life.

That last anecdote was lovely, what a man Corey is. The game itself is a monumental achievement, the fact that it's the fourth in a series yet a perfect jumping in point and it's as good as it is.. that's just plain ridiculous

Oh boi, am I happy to see this in my feed!

I didn’t know it but THIS IS WHAT I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR 29 YEARS!!!!

" If you ask about my previous games, i have a huge list of things that i messed up. But those things also became the things that i focused on to ensure that i wouldn't mess that up". Cory has such a beautiful mind and spirit, this is a life lesson people ! If you make mistakes, don't give up. It will give you strenght by learning from them and do better next time !

the reconnecting father segment is so touching i need a break like I just watched the green mile

I love you cory, I wish you the best of luck to what your next project is, and I know for a fact that Millions around the world will love it

Hearing Cory talk about Stargate makes me so happy. Don't you love it when the creators you love love the same stuff as you?

thankyou so much cory and your team at santamonic....this has surpassed gaming and will be remembered as such a milestone, i lerned so much from the story you have told us

Nice little interview, Cory Barlog is a great guy for doing it. I wish it was longer, or more parts, but still great.

How did I miss this when it released 😮. Love this#!!

Thanks again Cory and Santa Monica studios.

Off tha heezy fo sheezy my neezy! God of War is the game of my lifetime! I am 42 years old and lived through the beginning of gaming and after all these years this game has made me proud to call myself a gamer. This game has done everything correct. THANK YOU, thank you for bringing this masterpiece into my life!
