Forums - Gaming Discussion - Sony Santa Monica 'Topping' Incredible CGI

One of my favorite developers! A part of me wants them to move away from God Of War though. I want to see what they are capable of with another type of game. Can not wait to see what they have in store for PS4 games!

That is very impressive... It's great how Cory Balrog is working with Santa Monica Studios again.

Lol!

I had a feeling someone would make a reference to the LOTR Balrog

Yes

Hell no!

I want them to start a whole new franchise, but stay within the Hack'n'Slash genre. In fact like many I want them to stay within the ancient pantheons mythologies, just move to a new pantheon, and not make it a revenge story.

I hope they'll do that. Do you think SSM will go Norse or maybe something else like Egyptian?



You guys are creeping me out with those realistic peoples.

WOW "First half rendered in ~800 hours on a 2008 vintage quad core. Additional rendering by GarageFarm."

I [pessimistically] think they'll go Kratos. Though there really are no more gods to kill so it really seems like an empty well to me, which is why they had to make Ascension a prequel.

What I want, though, is Egyptian, as that actually allows there to be a link between GoW and a new IP.

I've already figured it out really. Kratos and Aphrodite get it on in GoWIII, at least anyone who is a true fan of GoW has them get it on in GoWIII, Aphro's cunning plan in seducing Kratos (which is the way I interpret that scene) was to have a child by the mighty mortal warrior, who was once a god, Kratos. She has a daughter, Athena finds out and is pissed that Kratos' bloodline not only survives, but is now mingled with the blood of the gods, Athena is, after all, rather salty at what Kratos did at the end of GoWIII. Aphro sends her infant daughter off to Egypt to be raised in secret fast forward 25 years or so and Kratos' daughter is now...

 

 

...Isis, or through the first game in the series is how daughter of Kratos becomes Isis!

It's a twist on the tail of how Io (the priestess of Hera) runs away to Egypt and becomes Isis (which is one of the variants of the mythology of Isis). After all Kratos mucked up the whole history of the gods by killing them, including Hera, so in the Io=Isis variant of the mythology there needs to be a new person to assume the mantle of Isis, and who better than daughter of Kratos? Also the mythology of Isis includes her becomming quite widely worshipped in Greco-Roman religions, which would also link in nicely with Isis being the daughter of Kratos.
