At the end of an interview with CGSociety about how the game’s visuals came to be SCEA director Ken Fieldman admits that he attempted to make a case for a first-person shooter God of War III game.

“I tried unsuccessfully to convince Stig to make ‘God of War III’ a first-person shooter,” he admitted a tad too unashamedly.

“Kratos could have some truly badass huge weapons that rip gods to shreds. Unfortunately he didn’t see the genius in the idea.”
