Gaming News God of War Ragnarok: what if the PS5 and PS4 exclusive game was released in the 90s? The game as you’ve never seen it in this video!
Remember. So God of War: Ragnarök presented itself on the home stretch of its marketing campaign with a new promotional trailer that is as short as it is rhythmic! While the excerpt from the PS5 and PS4 exclusive was minimal, it was actually brimming with ideas. At least for the creative behind the Jackarte YouTube channel, who recreated this video to look like the presentation of a game… coming out on the PlayStation, Sony’s first console.

New adventures from Kratos and Atreus arouse inspiration
For now, God of War: Ragnarok marks the history of PlayStation 5 through becoming one of the greatest hits of the last machine from the Japanese manufacturer. And more generally the God of War license! Unfortunately for him and even if he offers himself a divine start, there is another PlayStation exclusive that has overshadowed its popularity. But maybe it wouldn’t have been the same story at another point in time. Impossible to know. What we can envision, however, is what the sequel to the 2018 reboot might have looked like had it appeared on the Japanese publisher’s first console.
Good thing, because that’s exactly what the YouTuber of the Jackarte channel asked himself..

Over the past few years, we’ve come across the term “remake” more and more often when referring to a title that brings an older game back to life, such as: The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening or even from Final Fantasy VII Remake. Conversely, we have seen the evolution of another practice, which is that of “demake” and that the Jackarte channel now offers us for the trailer God of War: Ragnarok.

It is certain that this second part will also have been a hit in the days of Sony’s first console!
Fans of large polygons will be amused by this work, which allows us to imagine the rendering of the game as if it were released almost thirty years ago.. Jackarte therefore resumed crossing the lake in a sled, Freya’s attack on Kratos, Krato’s frenzied race, the sudden visit of a mysterious figure, adventures in the company of Tyr, as well as the appearance of Thor to give him the form of a cutscene from Sony’s first console. And he even thought of including the legendary PlayStation game’s startup sound at the very beginning of his video for a good dose of nostalgia.. In short, it can be seen right above and you can even compare it to the famous trailer that inspired it at the top of the article!
