I've been saying this for a while. I like God of War but they're milking it for sure. Yes you can compare it to Halo now that they have 6 Halo games, 5 of them which is mainline. The thing is, Halo has a huge universe and a big back story that they can work with it. Mass Effect and Metal Gear Solid I would also put in the same boat as Halo, because once again they have such a diverse big story that they can work with. God of War on the other hand is just about some angry dude wanting to kill the gods(Not bashing God of War, it's a great series). Now that he has killed the gods how can they continue it besides doing a prequel. We don't even know if he died or not in the 3rd but we already know his story. What else can be told?

As other people said, they could take on other mytholigies. Theres only been one GOW game this gen (2 when Ascension comes out) and that's definetly not milking the franchise. Not to mention that the GOW PSP games were mainly developed by Ready at Dawn and not Santa Monica (though they did help). Plus did you see the ending of GOW III? Who knows what hese going to do next but as long as they can think up of a good story then why the hell not make GOW 4. Franchises that are milked clearly suffer from quality, something that the GOW series does not lack in. All have 92+ on metacritic (not including PSP games). 

I didn't say Santa Monica is milking it, I'm talking about sony.  The even brought the PSP games to PS3.  Anyways, yes take on different mythologies, but then it wouldn't be God of War.  Personally I'd like to see Santa Monica do something else and give God of War a break.  They're a great company so I'd like to see what they can do just like I'm curious to see what Bungie can do without Halo.  God of War is a great series but I just can't see how they can continue it with Kratos as the protagonist.  If you take him out of the game then it's not God of War.  He just doesn't have enough of a back story to continue it in my opinion.
