God of War: Ascension director leaves Sony

Since so many games lately are coming to PC ported from PS3 or relevant, why not GOW, i hope this guys departure alows that. Big Fan, love your work. All the best.

They need to killed GoW franchise and start a new one. I'm glad they are working on a new IP. I look forward to that.

is it wrong to be more excited about r Cory Barlog << LINK REMOVED >>, than Tom Papy leaving?

The word on the street is, he's been picked up by MS to make Xb1 exclusives.:)

Long live Ascencion!! BEST GAME in the series!!!

guess this means he didn't make it to the "Ocean's 11-style cast of developers"...

he better not lie and just to say that then work for God of War for MS

that's a shame, so real talent being lost here, gow3 and ascension were both amazing

this is sad because as a designer his work was impeccable particularly in GOW 3 and ASCENSION and as a director he did a fine job in ASCENSION which had the must refined combat mechanics & most beautiful visual in the entire series.

How did I miss the news about Barlog going back to Santa Monica? Whatever they're working on can only be awesome.

As for Papy leaving? Meh. I know he's had a lot to contribute to the previous games, but Ascension is probably my least favourite of the lot.

which series has better boss fights GoW or Souls?

Ascension was a major step backwards for the series. The first three games were among the best exclusives on the PS2 and PS3. Ascension had a crap story and was full of audio bugs.

GOW3 was the best in the series IMHO.

Ascension is ok, not as great as the "3" one, the new elemental weapons is cool but I missed the weapons and play style diversity in GOW3. Also the 30fps on Ascension is disappointed comparing to the its predecessor which was running at 60fps most of the time. Having high fps offers huge advantages in gameplay of this genre.

Maybe it was cuz i had just beaten GOW 1 when i tried the GOW: Ascension demo, but...everything seemed way too...simple, the boss during the demo was really easy (i literally beat it without losing a single bar of health on my second or third try). That simplicity turned me off of buying the game..that and multiplayer in GOW....IT JUST ISNT RIGHT! lol

GOW is the best hack and slash around. I love playing GOW games. they're as wicked as they come and also a true game, a game that can be unforgiving. Hope to see one again.

"freaking huge"??? Hope it's not open world.

I think I just seen this guy in an Art Institutes commercial

I wish him the best of luck in whatever he does next. Personally I felt that Ascension was pretty weak overall but more because I think it was an unneeded game in the first place rather than the execution being off.

Bring the series back to what made 1 and 2 great.3 was a disappointment for me, too many quick time events.The first hour of the game was nothing but quick time events.

I can't really fault him for the move to Germany. Of all the countries I have lived in, including my native USA, Germany remains my personal favorite.

Isn't it ironic that all 3 major directors for God of War left?

I say Ascension has the best mechanics, feel and gameplay. Feels less of a button-masher compared to previous titles.
