As impressive as the opening colossus battle in God of War II is, it wasn't always planned that way. Oh no. Originally, they had grander plans, involving not one giant city-destroying giant, but two. Cory Barlog, GoW II Director:
I actually had some "Giant Kratos destroys the city" gameplay that started God of War II off, but it did not end up making the final cut...Don't get me wrong, a giant Kratos destroying the city would have been pretty sweet, but the time we would have had to invest into that small section to get it to look and feel as impressive as the rest of the game was far too great.
Yeah, having Kratos square up to the colossus in 1:1 scale would have been pretty freakin' sweet. Ah well. There's always God of War III, Cory.
