Best Boss Battles of God of War

10 Best Boss Battles of the God of War Trilogy

The boss battles of God of War are one of the most memorable gameplay elements of the entire series. In reaching the end of a level Kratos must confront and kill bosses from mythological beings like the Sisters of Fate, to creatures like Pandora’s Guardian, to titans like Gaia and many, many gods and goddesses like Medusa, who are after Kratos for waging a war against Ares.
In earlier God of War titles, Kratos goes up against more mythological creatures -- and more gods in God of War III. Although, one thing’s for certain - the fights are always gory, gruesome and so very satisfying.

Hercules
In God of War III, Hera the wife of Zeus pits her son Hercules against Kratos. Hercules sees this as an opportunity to steal his brother’s title of God of War. Kratos overcomes the might of Hercules and steals his cestes. Hercules, enraged, lifts entire arena to derail Kratos, but  instead drops it on himself -- and Kratos takes the opportunity to brutally smash his face in.

Hecatonchires
In God of War: Ascension, players traverse a rotating prison level while fighting off the Goat henchman. It’s not long before it’s revealed to the player that the platform is actually a living, breathing monster the size of a titan called the Hecatonchires.
Kratos must the evade creature’s menacing claws and dodge punches, using his blades to slice through the neck of the Hecatonchires after he sustains enough damage, defeating it in a God of War combat sequence.



Zeus

Kratos goes head-to-head with his father in God of War III. The fight begins in the room housing Pandora’s Box, moves to inside the heart of the titan Gaia and then into the arena. After the player kills Zeus, Kratos must fight his ghost. It’s when Zeus comes back to life, Kratos can deliver the final blow and impales Zeus with a sceptre.

Creating Action Scenes for Concept Art

Creating Action Scenes Concept Art Tutorial  After wrapping up my first fanart series on NieR:Automata ( catch it right here ), I would like to start a new walk-through series right here, on how I create action scenes for entertainment art. So, let's jump into it! Step 1: Reference and Thumbnails To start building a reference board, I use a free app called PureRef; it allows you to take any reference images that you like, and lay them out in an organized collage.  One thing to keep in mind when creating thumbnails, is it’s best to get as  many  ideas as you can down on paper. Don't be intimidated by that! There are no wrong ideas and it doesn't matter if it looks rudimentary at this stage.  When creating thumbnail sketches, think of what you want to see as the main focus of the scene; so, in this case, I want to have the main character 2B slashing a large machine – something inspired by an in-game screenshot. Now, with a rough sketch of b...

Time Manipulation in Game Design

Time Manipulation in Games Introduction The gameplay mechanic that I wish I had come up with first, is Time Manipulation. This is includes the concept of time dilation and the reversal of time in games. Implementing the Manipulation of Time Time manipulation is a robust mechanic. It involves non-exploitable time manipulation, with the goal of being fast and smooth, while not computationally-taxing on memory or hardware resources. The best way to implement this mechanic can be seen in Braid - an indie platform and puzzle game, developed by Number None, Inc. In this game, the world state is recorded for every frame, where the data is stored and compressed. With the recorded frames, any changing entities are extracted and mixed into the final state, which can be manipulated or rewound by the player. The player’s position is recorded and other properties such as color and rotation are stored as an integer that can be reconstructed, along with time information taken fro...

Review of the Alienware Graphics Amplifier

Laptop VS Desktop? Have both. What is a "graphics amplifier"? In essence an external GPU you can plug right into your system. Many companies have tried to release these onto the market, but sadly many haven't gotten past announcement phase. Users either resort to painstakingly building custom external graphics cards with components purchased all over the web or simply tossing aside their laptop and building a $10000 gaming PC for their graphics power needs. Both are acceptable, but Alienware and Razor (or any other company to announce one aain) give you another option: a mini-tower outfitted with a build-in PSU and cooling fan for your graphics power needs. Easier and More Flexible Wouldn't it be great to bring your laptop to work, coming back to your home office 2 hours later and gaming away as if it were that $10000 desktop? What a versatile workstation! No stray red, black and yellow cables sticking out of a shoebox or melted G...
