| Raven722 said: I think some people are reading too hard into some of the things he said. Saying "something that feels familiar" is not an indication that he's even talking about his previous work with SMS. It's just as likely, perhaps even more so, that he is simply talking about doing something that people have seen before in other games but expanded with his own ideas. I sincerely doubt he left Sony for years and gained all sorts of industry and personal experience just to come back and make yet another God of War game. He sounds like he has greater ambitions than simply continuing an aging franchise. You don't aim to put together some badass crew from scratch if you're simply looking to make a sequel for a game that doesn't need it right now. As others have pointed out already, the open world game that may have sci-fi shooter elements in it is not Barlog's project. That is Asmussen's project that I heard a small team was working on for 3 years while the main SMS team did Ascension. After that game was done, the bulk of the Ascension team moved to Asmussen's project. I can't confirm that's how it worked out but that's just what I heard awhile back. We should be hearing something about that game by next convention season at the latest though some think we may get a teaser for it at the VGA show. |
i really doubt Asmussen's project has been worked on by a small team for about 3 years now (up until GoW:A released). if a game is in its 3rd year into development it would be by a small team for all that time. and i doubt sony would have teased it at gamescom along with ND and media molecules games which we know have been in development for 2 (nd) and 2 and half years (MD) for now. it would make no sense to wait 3 years for the main staff to finish a game instead of hiring new people while they wait for that game (GoW:a) to be finished. also i remember readings (leaks) that the main team is infact working on stigs game and that the GoW:A team is the new team.
on another note its pretty obvious that cory barlogs new game is another one from Stig Asmussen's project. why would cory make an "oceans 11" kind of team for a game that is 3+ years into development? he is making a new team for a new game, and personally i cant wait to hear more about it.
and i agree with you about what you said about Cory's game being a new GoW. it doesnt make sense. and we know stigs new game isnt a GoW either. so i cant wait
