Ronald D. Moore er en 61-årig TV-producer som i sin lange karriere primært har beskæftiget sig med fantasy og særligt science-fiction. Inden længe kaster han sig over God of War (2018), som Amazon forvandler til en TV-serie.
Men selvom han er showrunner på serien, så har han ikke selv gennemført spillet. I stedet så han dets mange mellemsekvenser på YouTube, fortæller Moore til IGN.
"But I kept coming back to this story of father and son, and it was just emotional and it was different, and I hadn't seen anything like that before, and I had no expectations because like you said, I'm not a gamer. I knew the title, but I didn't really know what the story was, so I didn't really know what I was going to be looking at, and I was just taken with it. And so I said, yeah, I'd love to do it. I think it's really interesting."
IGN spurgte yderligere ind til hans interesse, eller mangel på samme, for gaming. Moore fortalte, at han rent faktisk gav spillet en chance, men det var simpelthen for svært.
"I've tried to play it. I continue to try to play it, but I grew up in the arcade era, so I can bang away, just give me a Defender console or an Asteroids console, I'll kick your ass. But it's just a different thing. My family can do it. My wife can play video games. My wife plays Skyrim, but I lack the muscle memory of my thumbs. And so Kratos is fighting the troll and I'm constantly like, okay, which one's the B button? No, I'm dead. It is that kind of thing. But I try."
Det er endnu uvist, hvornår God of War får premiere. Men taget i betragtning af, at Ronald D. Moore først blev tilknyttet projektet i oktober sidste år, går der nok en rum tid, inden vi får at se Kratos gå amok på Prime Video.
