Kratos originally blue

David Jaffe reveals colour switch.

David Jaffe has revealed on his blog that God of War's Kratos was originally meant to wear blue body paint rather than red colour he went on to have.

The original idea was for Kratos to be blue and wear more clothes, but shortly before his unveiling one person in the development team realised he looked an awful lot like the Barbarian in Diablo II - and he received a remake.

The pictures below are from Jaffe's blog. What do you think, red or blue Kratos?
