PSXE Readers: The Real God Of War Will Take Your Questions

Kratos is one of the most effective, well-designed characters in the history of video games. But there must be a great deal of humanity behind such creations, which is why SCEA turned to TC Carson for the voice of Kratos, and to Joseph Gatt for the body and movements.

As you can see by his lengthy resume, Gatt has been involved in movies, TV, games and even dance for quite some time. He landed the Kratos mo-cap actor role for God of War II, returned for the recent third installment, and has also lent his talents to the likes of Lair, Driver 2 and Driv3r, and Sony's popular SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs franchise. He even had a hand in another PlayStation 3 exclusive masterpiece, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, so this guy gets around. Now, he has offered to answer some questions and we've decided, as we are indeed a PlayStation-oriented website and our readers are just about as informed as we are (in some respects), that you should provide these questions. Simply place your question(s) below in the Comments section; if you see one you like, vote for it by replying to it and feel free to add one of your own. We'll take a bunch of 'em and see what Gatt has to say. We'll keep this story stickied for a few days.

Being the true lifeblood of Kratos, a character most mortal men sorta envy (if only for his physical attributes), has got to be pretty darn cool. And we imagine you guys have some good questions for the man who helped bring the God of War to life. So fire away!

P.S. For the record, Gatt will be making appearances at the upcoming WizardWorld Comicon and Comicon San Diego, so if you're in the area...

Hey, that's the same guy from those weird MGS4 commercials. Pretty cool stuff. Did not know he was that deeply involved in the gaming industry.

1. How did you get involved in the gaming industry? Was it something you've always wanted to do?

2. You were casted in some of the MGS4 commercials, how was that different from doing actual motion capture?

3. Have you ever gone back and played any of the games you were involved with developing?

4. Are there and tips or tricks you can provide to game enthusiasts on how to get their foot in the door for motion capture?

Some questions:

2- Do you have any insider info on the possible return of Kratos?

3- Are you doing mocap for the Thor movie, or are you doing some actual live acting. (If so, say "Hi" to Natalie for me.)

4- What was it like fronting Midnight Oil all those years?

I'm playing GOWIII right now, it's totally epically epic, still not as good as Dante's Inferno but much prettier to look at.

Really? I thought GOW 3 was given far better scores than Dante.

I've played some GOW3, OMG!! Epic to the power of 50!!!

I don't see how Dante could raise the bar. I heard it gets a little repetitive and mediocre towards the end of Dante's Inferno?

Hey World, was there something in Dante or about that game specifically that tipped the scales?

Thursday, April 15, 2010 @ 9:58:21 PM

Technically speaking, GOWIII is just a bigger achievement and of course people are attached to the characer. But Inferno had a more active setting, every level was seething with life and activity whereas a lot of GOW settings are just drab and ugly.

Kratos' story is also pretty thin compared to the plot twists and history lessons in Inferno. Bottom line, I just enjoyed the experience more personally.

It seems to me, World, that you connected to that game on a more personal level and that's why you truly enjoyed it. I know I sound just like the whole herd of others when I praise the God of War series, but in the end it wouldn't matter if the gameplay stunk. I identify with Kratos and the series on a personal level and that's why it's image will never be tainted in my mind. I also had a stint where Dead Space was all I could think about but nobody else would talk to me about it; it wasn't that popular.
I guess what I'm saying is, if you can find a game like that it won't matter what anyone else says and it's a great thing.

Got an important question about his physical attributes.

1. What is your diet? Can you afford to spoil yourself with chocolate or at McDonald's now and then?

2. How often do you work out and what are some of the exercises you do to maintain your physique? Might help for some gym enthusiasts here.

And just a few questions about his line of work in video games.

1. What did you do before you got into the film, television and video game industry?

2. How did you get into the entertainment industry? Was it a big break or lucky chance?

3. What was your first big project in the video games industry that you worked in?

4. How does it feel to be modelled for the most bad-ass and epic character in video game history? I'm speaking, of course, of Kratos from God of War.

And finally, a silly question he might enjoy.

1. Has there ever been a time where you were sick of working out and just let yourself go? And if so, is there a picture for a side-by-side comparison?

Cheers.

BTW Ben, great article and way to get people involved and interactive on this site. Keep up the excellent work. You're doing a helluva service to us Playstation and video game fans.

Hmmm.

1. Would you or have you done any stunt work for tv/movies?

2. Can you beat up Ben (yahzee)crosshaw of zero puctuation for dissing GOW3 in his review :)

all i want to ask the devs is why in the hell they went with the ending they did.
i remember stig saying they have gone through multiple endings and had to change, and shorten the chosen ending because of time restraints.
they promised us GOW3 would be a ending to the series, and would not end in a cliffhanger.
well, they lied!
GOW3s ending is as much of a cliffhanger as GOW2s ending, and to be honest it raises more questions than it answers.
now i dont exactly call that clarifying a series.
normally when you finalize a series your suppose to tie up all loose ends, not create and leave a gaping hole!

yes but since hes the main character, one would assume hes had a input into the story.

Actors have no input on the story. All he had to do was be a badass and do his thing.

1. Is Streets of Rage one of your favorite games?

BTW don't think I didn't notice you mentioned me yet again in a thread, World. ::kisses::

I'm starting to think I've lost all my other friends in here because I was for unadulterated violence and senseless murder. Anyway, Streets of Rage is the best Beatemup of all time.

Unadulterated violence and senseless murder is fun in video games, I'd rather have it stay.

Here's a question: Since you look fairly similar to Kratos, would you dress up as him on Halloween, if you get the chance?

Since all the excellent questions have been asked, I'm just going to jump on the silliness train...

1) What is like to ride a Titan up a mountainside? It looks like it'd be pretty XTREME!

2) How many times did David Jaffe swear at you during the making of the original game?

3) How physically demanding were those sex mini games?

Okay... a couple serious ones...

1) My brother wants to make it into the game industry as a sound designer. He going to school this fall to get a degree in the field? Do you have any tips on how to make it into the game industry? I know its a different field but maybe you have some good strategies.

2) What's after Kratos for you? Any film work, or strictly more games?

3) Are you a gamer and if so, what system do you play and what's your favourite game? (favourite with a 'u' because I'm totally Canadian, eh)

Thanks, man. Keep up the great work and thanks for a decade of Kratos!

And I just realized that you didn't join the GoW series until the second (that's what I get for skimming articles) so I guess Jaffe must've took it pretty easy on you. LOL. Yes, I'm an idiot.

Either way, thanks for giving us the time to ask you questions.

Legitimate question:
Since you have done several movies and motion capture performances for games, would you consider yourself succesful in both the gaming and film industry? And do you prefer one?

1. What is your favorite game AND favorite movie that you've worked with?

2. What is your favorite game AND favorite movie you HAVEN'T worked with?

3. What games and movies did you enjoy most when you were growing up? Were those the things that inspired you to do what you do today, or is there something different that inspired you?

(and last, but not least!!)
4. What's your favorite color?

But during the sex minigame, it shows the two whore lesbians and not Kratos. Might have been an excuse to get laid with Aphrodite, lol.

Legitimate World Questions:

Did you have to be suspended on wires for aerial moves?

Do you think developers could achieve realistic motion in a character without the talents of mocap actors such as yourself?

6. Did you ever make Kratos dance or scratch his bottom or something similar?

7. How many people involved in the production process were scared of you? Did you beat them?

A few questions not entirely related to God Of War 3. (Shock)

1 - You obviously love action games, but what about more relaxed family-friendly games such as LittleBigPlanet?

2 - If you enjoy LittleBigPlanet, have you created any levels, such as a God Of War themed level?

3 - What was your favorite memory when playing LittleBigPlanet.

If you don't own LittleBigPlanet;

1 - After you did the motion capture for God Of War 3 and got to play it, were you surprised to see your character doing amazing stunts and moves? What exactly were you thinking when you first saw Kratos in God Of War 3?

That's all for now.

in god of war 1, kratos was a really deep, likeable character.
in god of war 2, and most of 3, hes a real 1-dimensional character. hes all revenge, revenge, revenge.
not like its a bad thing though. the results of his revenge are EXTREMELY satisfying
