Santa Monica Studio has been highlighting some behind-the-scenes snippets from the production of God of War Ragnarok, which has been out for a little while now. The last of these dev diaries is here, and rather than discuss another aspect of development, the team shows its gratitude to the series' biggest fans.

It's a lovely video. It shows some heartfelt messages from numerous people behind the game, expressing how much the community means to them all. In combination with a display of fan art, cosplay, and reaction clips, it's hard to watch this without cracking a smile.

Ragnarok has attracted a very warm reception not just from the press, but also its players. The PS Blog's community-voted awards have just been and gone, and the game won every category for which it was eligible, so it's clearly had an impact.
