Forums - Gaming Discussion - Why Sony can't just let God Of War die and move on?

Really, it was meant to be 3 games and 3 games were made. But Sony seems that can't let the franchise die and put Santa Monica to do something else. There's no room for developing a new plot, Kratos killed Zeus for God sake. It only destiny is to be making endless prequels and remasters.

That is the reason I admire naughty dog, they know when to let it go, they knew for Crash, Jak and now for Uncharted.

Kratos doesn't die......he waits.



You could say that about so many games, GoW is far from a worst offender.

I'm sure a couple of million people would love a new God of War game.



PS, PS2, Gameboy Advance, PS3, PSP, PS4, Xbox One

But that can be said about all franchises... why cant Ubisoft let Assassins Creed die? Why cant Activision let CD die? Why cant MS let Gears or Halo die? Why cant Nintendo le Mario die??? The truth is, people still want and buy those games. If people didnt want them, they would not buy thm and the companies would stop makin thm.



I want an Egyptian, Norse and Japanese God of Wars. Thank you for your opinion.

If they make another one which was as good a 3 was, i'd buy it.



There are so many gods left that I need to rip apart, that can't be.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

Well, Mario don't have plot development, can't say about Halo because I never played, but for assassins Creed I say the same, the entire idea of Desmond going to the past was to develop his capabilities so he could use them in present day, I stopped at revelations and don't know the status of the series now, but it looks they are going to the past.

 

For GoW, well, Kratos had a goal, to forget his bad memories, he didn't get that and his second goal was to get revenge from the Olympus gods, and he did. Now, what goal is left for him? It's really different when you have a game with such a limited goal and its reached, and that is so narrative driven. Anything they make to make the plot goes forward will be forced.

Other series that need a reboot or just is Resident Evil, 6 was just ridiculous.

God of War combat and design will help make it stand out anyway.
