God Of War TV Show Writer Says He Gave Up On Trying To Play The Games
Briefly

Ronald D. Moore, known for acclaimed series like Battlestar Galactica, has joined the Amazon adaptation of God of War, which is officially set for at least two seasons. Although he admits to not being a gamer and struggling with modern controls, his involvement provides hope for the project, especially after a complete creative overhaul last year. Previous showrunner Rafe Judkins and other key producers left, but Amazon TV's Vernon Sanders has assured fans a faithful adaptation akin to HBO's successful Last of Us. Fans remain cautiously optimistic about the show's direction and execution.
Right now I'm working on the adaptation of this video game called God of War, that Amazon has ordered two seasons of and they asked me to come in, I'm literally in the writers room and that's my new thing.
If anyone else said this, gaming fans—a notoriously chill and reasoned bunch—would unleash a cacophony of online Kratos yells. Moore, who has credits on some of the most beloved TV episodes around, starting with Star Trek: The Next Generation, can probably get a pass.
The controllers now... Press R1. Which one's R1? Oh, I'm dead! I can't quite get a hold of that.
Vernon Sanders, previously promised the adaptation would be faithful to the original games, which has certainly served HBO's Last of Us series well.
