Didn't Santa Monica attempt to create a new franchise only to cancel it after four years of development and tens of millions of dollars invested? I would love to see that studio move on from God of War (as much as I enjoy that series) but they would need to start a new franchise to take its place and that's not going to happen now. Sony needs a series for Santa Monica to work on and God of War is their only option unfortunately, hence why God of War is still in production.

Is this true?! WTF?!

Apparently it was planned as an open world sci-fi FPS with modular world building coupled with scripted events. Imagine Destiny but directed by Stig Asmussen and developed by Santa Monica. I really love Destiny's concept but I hated the execution so this news was really painful to me.

They need to keep making money so they are stuck developing God of War games and side projects until they can muster the resources to launch another new IP (which will take years sadly).

Mohammed's existence is very much a real thing. And many of the Greek gods have origins from Asia, like Aphrodite and Artemis.

The rumors were that it was very similar to Destiny in some way. After Destiny was revealed with an unreal hype machine behind it, SSM's new IP went through drastic changes to differentiate itself from Destiny which ended in the project being cancelled all together.

It was Stig Asmussen's project.

Why can't Nintendo let Mario die? I mean he killed Bowser, why the fuck doest he need to comeback and do the same stuff again? Its only destiny is to be making endless prequels and remasters.

Why can't Nintendo let Link die? I mean he killed Ganondorf, why the fuck doest he need to comeback and do the same stuff again? Its only destiny is to be making endless prequels and remasters.

The Bitch is back! And better then ever! #BritneyReturns
