Forums - Sony - Games That Need To Stop: God Of War

I agree. Move on to something else. I want them to apply the same concepts to the Arthurian legends.

But God of War is awesome and Santa Monica does make/help out with plenty of other games. Like I said, if the game sells and it brings in something new and fun every time then there should be no need to stop.

I definitely agree, not for his reason though. GOW has 6 installments now? Very little has been done to shake this series up. Metal Gear is in a similar situation where they are doing anything to continue use "Snake", but Hideo Kojima always ups the ante on every Metal Gear he works, No 2 MGS are the same,so am I gettin tired of Big Boss? Hell yea. Do I think MGS needs to move on? Hell yea, but as Kojima keeps raisin the bar its fine. Its not fine when a series is same damn game 6 installments in. Do something with it or be done with it.



And to people saying they should work on other things: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCE_Santa_Monica_Studio

Also Stig Asmussen is working at Sony Santa Monica on an unannounced project.

6 installments in 7 years (8 when Ascesnion actually comes out) isn't that bad considering 2 of them were PSP games which I assume don't take as long to develope. 9 Call of Duty's in 9 years (NOT including spin offs/handheld games). THAT needs to stop or at least take a break. But why would they when the franchise is so successful. Same goes to GOW.

um yea?  The amount of installments is not the problem, but how little  is done to chang e it up between releases.

Hmm, now that would be interesting.

So you're saying Call of Duty innovates more than God of War?



Why are you bringing up Metal Gear Solid here? This has nothing to do with that franchise which I consider absolute trash you hypocrite, go and talk about it somewhere else. 

And Sony Santa Monica have internally made 3 of the instalments working on their 4th. If you can't see the changes throughout the series and how they always up the ante every time then you probably haven't even played the games and if you have you certainly don't deserve to. I know this might be a complicated concept for you to comprehend but when a franchise has an established fan base as big as God of War's you DON'T revolutionise the formula, you evolutionise it which is all the God of War fans want.

No. If your going to have a long running series of games, Make sure to change them up every once in awhile. Thats the point. Number of installments wont matter if it manages to stay fresh.
