Development of God of War - GamerBen144 - 04-01-2018
God of War started off as a open-world first-person game sequel to Shadow Man called “Dead Man.”
The game was planned to be set in the Louisiana swamps and bayous, and would’ve involved voodoo and supernatural powers.
Acclaim never really got what they wanted after developing Shadow Man, and technical limitations of the PlayStation 2 made making the sequel difficult. As a result, the idea of making “Dead Man” was scrapped.
