Evidence Of God Of War 4 Spotted?
God of War IV is coming. ...well, we assume so, and recent evidence has hinted at a possible unveiling in the near future.
A mistake on an animator's resume may have spilled the beans early: SystemLink spotted the resume of someone who did some freelance work for Motion Logic Studios. Although the reference has been replaced with "unannounced PS3 game," it initially mentioned "God of War 4," so perhaps the cat is already out of the bag. Even the animator's personal site doesn't have any evidence of the game anymore...sounds to us like someone somewhere contacted him with an e-mail that might've read, "Yeah, maybe nobody told you, but you can't go talking about a new GoW yet. Get rid of it." However, it could also have been a mistake: when contacted by GameSpot, the animator said he merely used God of War as inspiration when taking the test for Sony.
He went on to say he is not aware of any existing GoW project. Well, we might believe him but even if we do, isn't it still fun to talk about Sony Santa Monica's next project?

I was under the impression that the 1st PSP GOW was a prequel so what are they going to do... make a prequel of a prequel??? A spin-Off... HMMMMM... maybe but I just don't right now maybe in the next 2 or 3 years.
No I don't think that they're making a GoW4.

It would be great to see another GoW... from a technological aspect... can you believe that they could actually make further improvements to the GoW engine... I can only imagine

I will never understand those who admit that games like God of War or Metal Gear Solid are master piece franchises yet prefer not to see another installment. These games aren't Call of Duty or Guitar Hero. They are much better and the people who create them give them a level of special attention not seen in with other developers.

For instance I'm looking forward to the Tomb Raider reboot but after the franchise was so massively slaughtered I'm not as excited as I could be. It's more like welcoming back an annoying friend than an old flame.

Well at this point coming up on the 3rd Uncharted, this whole logic would mean ND should stop after that. I think it would be a huge mistake to halt any kind of progress with GoW and Kratos. Stig has huge amounts of imagination, thats why he is where he's at at Sony Santa Monica. Although I dont think the story was quite as good in GoW3 as it was in 1 or 2, everything else was leaps and bounds above the others. The boss battles in particular. There could have been more puzzles but come on this was a story of revenge, it was all about walking over the greek gods and a few titans along the way.

MGS4 was a good conclusion for Snake, but there are still other characters to explore and other stories to be told within that universe. It can go on, but it should be Snake's story, and that's pretty well wrapped up. There's no need for another full entry.
Uncharted is different. Each game is a stand-alone entry, but the first two at least tie into each other. ND could theoretically go on for years, slowly aging Nate and Elena, growing their family, killing off Sully, and it really wouldn't be so bad because there is no huge story arc to complete.
I suppose it depends on a case-by-case basis, and when games have either almost no story, or a negligible one, you can do anything. If you have something highly story-focussed, then you basically trap yourself. My take on it.
Peace.

I hear ya, it would be terrible to see it dragged. The good thing for the game though is that it's set in a time period where almost anything could happen and SM could make ot work.

I thought Ben would have posted the article I sent him today from the PSBlog about the Killzone 3's code for the SOCOM4 beta launching.
But since he didn't, and since my PS3 died, & as I had promised last week, I'll use this post for a second to give away my SOCOM4 code that I got with my KZ3 purchase.
Killzone3/SOCOM4 beta code.....

Happy tactical shooting to whomever gets to input it in first.
BTW, just let me know who it was that got in the beta.

Well, I won't have any extra cash till July, but the plan is to get it repaired since it is a prized 60 GB'er.
Plus I also want to get a slim & put a 750GB or a 1T HD in it to use as a back-up(and also to have in my gaming collections).
BTW, I shouldn't lose any saves & such since I had already swapped out my old 60GB HD for a 640GB HD a few weeks earlier(but I did lose a couple games protected saves when I did the original swap-out.....GRRRRRR).
But anyways, I'll just re-swap in my old 60HD before I send it out & re-swap it out again for the 640GB once I get it back.

I hope what is going on is that it just doesn't have a name yet and will refer to a new God of War from a different myth cycle. I enjoyed the GOW series a lot but to do any more with Kratos would be overkill. His vengeance story is told, don't muck up the legend by screwing with things any further.

Run into the ground how? The last GOW was great. You're all acting as if they've ever done a bad GOW game.
This is probably the same crowd that doesn't want to see MGS anymore.
Seriously, I think video games' future is very bleak.
These kinds of gamers and how they see sequels is what's going to kill the industry.

As for me, I don't necessarily want another GoW. I think it was wrapped up and there is no need for it continue, but if there is another one, I'll certainly pick it up. There's too much quality at Santa Monica studios to pass it up. I'd rather see them take on something different though. New IPs FTW!
Peace.

looks like MP may be coming to GOW!
but the rumors are saying its not a GOW game, SM have actually gotten there hands on heavenly sword!

apparently this is NOT for GOW4, its actually for heavenly sword 2!
oh, now this would be so freaking sweet!
sony have given SM the license to heavenly sword and there doing a sequel!
funny, i was screaming for SM to do a sequel ever since NT said there not doing a sequel, and now its apparently happening!
ohhh, please make it so!
heavenly sword running on the GOW3 engine = epicness to the ninth degree!

first it start where gow3 finish d'uh.
after kratos killed himself with the olympus blade he released hope(or more likely pendora).
Kratos had a god soul before but it is inside the olympus blade. (spoiller!kratos abosorbed hades soul.) so now hades soul and kratos mortal soul merge together and become a new god soul.(death + war =?)
as athena wander away with the olympus blade the new god soul rise from the body of the fallen kratos shouting, "ATHENA, IM NOT DONE WITH YOUT YET".
and thus epic fight start. While in midfight Zeus soul come around and merge with athena soul to try to kill the kratos once and for all.
by the end of the fight the olympus blade crack and break in 2. the power of the god of war (kratos) is then realeased and the remaining of the blade is just a usefull as any broken blade.
note that in this fight it is kratos that is shiting bricks.
(the as the blade broke it caused kratos and hades to be unmerged.) but something happened and it is not shown. ( the power of the blade remain stuck on the right arm of kratos. for a breif moment then dissapear.
after that hades,athena and Zeus souls ram on kratos mortal soul and cast a powerful magical seal around him sending kratos 50,000 in the future. and locking up his soul there.
a few second later kratos wakes up and everything looks normal and he start fighting shit..
