Will Controversial God of War Scenes Be Cut?
There has been a debate among PlayStation fans regarding the controversial scenes in the previous games of the God of War series. Santa Monica Studios’ 2018 reboot of the series, which has made a big contrast to the more mature and serious tone of the older games. This has led to concerns that these scenes could be removed from a rumored God of War remastered collection for the PS5.
God of War Controversial Scenes
In the first trilogy of the series, Kratos was portrayed as a more angry and violent character. The games featured more exaggerated and sometimes controversial scenes, in keeping with the style of the time. In particular, some of the sexual scenes are quite a noticeable difference compared to the more mature tone of both the 2018 reboot and the 2022 God of War: Ragnarok.
Therefore, if the rumors are true and the old games are going to be remastered, it is thought that these scenes could be removed or changed to make them less noticeable. This situation, which has been a popular topic of discussion on Reddit, has been criticized by some fans in the community, while others find these concerns unfounded, stating that similar scenes exist in modern games.
There are fans in the God of War community who think that removing these scenes from a possible remaster would damage the spirit of the original games. One Reddit user expressed his reaction to this idea by saying, “If you are going to remake the game and remove these scenes, it would be completely pointless.”
On the other hand, it is stated that the removal or replacement of these scenes is just speculation and no official statement has been made. However, if the rumors are true, it seems likely that PlayStation’s decision will draw backlash from some circles. While it remains unclear whether God of War will remain faithful to its old structure, fans are waiting for an official statement from Santa Monica Studios for more information on this matter.
