any sight for god of war 4?

so i picked up and beat god of war 3 this weekend and thought it was one of the most incredible games to date.

graphics - superb

gameplay - phenominal

plot - great

feeling upon completion - exceptionally satisfying

i read on some forums that this is the end to a trilogy but as we've seen with other games and franchises, that may never be the case.

anyone have any insight on a god of war 4 release perhaps?

jk..i dunno, but your right. GOW3 was amazing and I'd love another one..

Wouldn't it be better if the same team develops a completely new game?

I mean, I like to think that GoW3 was the end of the series, but i also keep thinking that somebody as strong as Kratos can't be dead,

There will be spin-off games I'm sure, like the upcoming Ghost of Sparta for the PSP. I'd like to see them create a new game though or HS2.

I would much rather have a new IP developed with the same production values that GoW3 had.

There really isnt much else they could do with the GoW formula that wouldnt just be rehash and to be honest, the 3 games we already have arent that different from each other to begin with...

Please, for the love of the Gods, no more God of War. They have milked this franchise enough. Part 2 should have been about 2 hours longer and ended it all there. I loved the first 2, but 3 was just not that great of a game IMO -it was exactly the same as the first 2 games with better graphics (same story, puzzles, events, tools, etc)rawsavon

Please, dear God, not another God of War. One of my favorite franchises -- don't ruin it with a tacked-on sequel for money! PLEASE!

I really hope they don't make a GoW4... The series is running dry and GoW3 is proof of that. It was a fantastic game, but another sequel WILL suck.

Kratos must try to destroy the esence of existence and everything. Then the series can end.

The ending definately left it open for another game. I'm thinking that whatever they do next will involve Kratos' brother. Personally I don't mind seeing another game in the series, even if it is basically more of the same. The series doesn't have that incredible of a story to begin with, it's pretty much just there to move the action along. And that's what makes this series shine, the action, the gameplay. It's something that I have a lot of fun with (I've replayed each of the three games several times). For those of you so against another installment to the series there is a solution: you don't have to play it.

That is easy for you to say, you are not the developer/producer wanting to move as many units as possible
...at this rate, it will be the next tomb raider (they just kept making the same game over again as well)

Also, with the development costs as high as they are for a game like this, they cannot afford to take that risk
I am sure another game would still sell really well...but hard to say how many after that would (that would make 6 games that are exactly the same)

The game will sell. It's a hot franchise and given the success of the franchise I highly doubt Sony's going to end it now. Really, you think they're going to look at what a few users on a message board say and be all "well, we'd better not make GoW4, some folks on the Gamespot forums are gonna be upset if we do"? No, they're going to look at the bottom line, and that bottom line is that GoW has been an incredibly successful franchise. They're going to look at the franchise's near 12,000,000 units sold. They're gonna want to keep that going.

just out of curiousity, I'm new to this so I was wondering how exactly you guys post each others comments on your new comment and talk about that. thanks.Armagadem

Of course they are not going to look here.

They will look at a very simple ratio...Profit Ratio on the game (development costs/revenue).
-with the ever increasing costs to make the game, they will have to sell more units now than they did on the PS2 to make it 'worth while'

I already said that another game would sell in my post

But the trick is to get out 'while the getting is good'
...better to leave some money on the table than to lose some
In the end, there will probably be 2 more games (another that sells well and one that does not...similar to countless series before this one)
But some of us can't help but be saddened by what we know is coming

Well IF they were to make another one it would probably not involve kratos. Maybe his brother. But you know I cant help wondering, at the end of GOW3 (UBER SPOILERS) the entire world was left in complete ruin. Maybe the story could be about some other hero trying to fix the world now that it was left destroyed. I dont know thats just my opinion

[QUOTE="rawsavon"][QUOTE="Armagadem"] Nice thinking I didn't think that would be an idea. I thought it would be just prologues from here on out. I didn't think of the restoration of the world.Armagadem

God of war 3 was amazing but the ending left something to be desired i really hope that ghost of sparta fills that in

If any of you saw the ending, you KNOW for sure that there is no evidence that Kratos died.

I don't think the franchise has been milked (too lazy to check release dates) , but if it was, they did a great job at deceiving me unlike GH and CoD.I for sure want a sequel to gow 3 , and it should be longer , not that I find it an issue as everybody seems to , but to give the sensation it's not dying.Until then we'll have gow 1,5 , ghost of sparta.

I think it would be really cool if the devs worked on a new ip.

The series will continue but without Kratos and with a new story line. Google it.

GoW: Ghost of sparta but its on the psp and takes place between 1 and 2 ( i think)

uhmm like something about protecting the spartan army idk google it lol

I wouldn't expect a 4th one

I think GOW3 tied up all the loose ends. Who else could they possibly have Kratos kill?
