How long was the development process for God of War: Betrayal? Our Art Director, Nathan Leland, did a fantastic job. With just a few hundred kb and much less on most handsets, we spent a lot of time coming up with a single tileset and palette swapping scheme that was diverse enough to portray multiple environments and lived up to the SCEA God of War team's high standards.
What struggles did you and your development team encounter upon creating the visual aspect of this title? That's always a hard, but fun part of the development process. be it God of War or a casual game like Spider-Man 3 Puzzle. Of course, with every project you try to push certain perceived limits of the handsets and try to figure a way around them. It really comes down to the tools, and our developer, Javaground, has the best mobile toolset that we've ever used. For God of War, that had to do with getting all of Kratos' look, animations, combat and abilities that everyone expects to see, the variety of enemies and their deaths, and the isometric look to the environment. How hard is it to get a high-paced action game onto a mobile device like a phone with limited memory and processing power? We asked Phil Cohen, producer and designer of God of War: Betrayal, what it was like to squeeze such a huge franchise into such a limited platform. Argos is also the name of a city-state in Greece, famous for being the birthplace of Perseus.We never thought we'd have a canonical God of War game on the cell phone but that's exactly what happened.According to some myths, when he was killed Hera took his eyes and placed them on the tail-feathers of the peacock, her sacred bird, to commemorate his services.Superhuman Vision: Sporting many eyes across his massive body, he even has one right inside his mouth.Super Leaping: He also has an ability to jump to great distances.
Superhuman Strength: Argos is a very slow but powerful brute.The monster designed for the game was completed but was cut since he did not fit in the story. Later, during their final fight, Argos fell into a sewer, where he was slain by an unknown assassin, in order for Kratos to be blamed for its murder and the siege in the city.Īrgos was set to appear as an enemy in the game. Kratos fought him on several occasions, but Argos always escaped. Hera then removed all but two of Argos' eyes and placed them on the tail feathers of the peacock, Hera's favorite bird.Īrgos, was sent by the gods to stop Kratos, the new God of War, because he and his Spartan army sought to bring an end to balance in Greece. Io traveled to Egypt, where she is attributed with becoming a goddess and birthing a Pharaoh. After Io was freed, a distraught Hera sent a gadfly to chase Io out of Greece. However, Zeus asked Hermes to slay Argos, and he succeeded, by putting the giant to sleep with his music. But Hera was not fooled, and she tied Io to a pole with Argos guarding the cow. Later, Zeus brought a nymph named Io to Olympus, but because of Hera's jealousy, he disguised her as a beautiful whitecow. He was Hera's servant, and his greatest servitude to Olympus was the slaying of Echidna. He was also called "all-seeing" and because of that was described as multi-eyed, strong creature, whose eyes would never sleep. In Greek mythology, Argus Panoptes is a 100 eyed giant (Ἄργος Πανόπτης) or Argos was a primordial giant, guardian of Io and son of Alester.
