This is not about God of War 3 so this shouldn't be in the sticky. It's about the dev team so mods please don't close this.

Link also has a video.

Exclusive: 'God Of War 3' Dev Team Starting Work On Two New Projects

With "God of War 3" in the can, the developers at Sony's Santa Monica Studio can finally rest easy...for about a week. There's no extended rest for those talented folks, though, as they've already got two projects in the hopper, with pre-production kicking off right as their biggest game ever wraps up.

Check out our interview with John Hight, the director of product development at the studio, in which he discusses starting work on two new projects, one "short-term," and one "long-term." Kratos never sleeps, why should they?

Fingers crossed for something new, it's been a while since a video game series actually ended, I'm getting sick of completing a trilogy, thinking, that was great, good ending-wait, they're making another one...why?!

i still think it's too epic for a video game to handle but if they could recreate it just like the original.... it's gonna be at least 20 times better than gow3

Sony Bend doesn't make Resistance games , oh wait. It's really hard to say what's going on for sure. Jaffe's companyis probably making Twisted Metal , but some other studios couldpotentiallyhandle the IP.

Short term I see them making dlc for GoW3 and long-term I foresee a new ip. Just about every major Sony studio has had a new ip this gen so maybe it's Sony Santa Monica's turn since they have completed GoW trilogy.

QFT - people on these forums are always having a go at each other for 'flogging a dead horse' but they lap up from the industry. "Epic final final FINAL ending....followed by a sequel" - enough already!

Glad to here it. I read in aninterview before GOW 3 went gold that they had nothing planned as of yet. Hope it all goes well.

Would be nice to see them make an action game from another era and place. Medieval Japan? Futuristic?

That's silly, they deserve to take a break, that way they will be refreshed enough to work hard on their next titles. I mean GOW3 took them 4 years! of course most of the time was probably building the engine from scratch, now that it's in place they can pump out titles faster like Naughty Dog, course with modifications to the engine.

Makes me wonder what these companies do with all the new engines they've created. Surely they wouldn't just make them for one game and dump it afterwards rite?

Incorrect. They assisted with Warhawk but Warhawk was really made by Incognito, which is now defunct but all Incognito staff moved onto Lightbox Interactive which is working on Starhawk

Hopefully a new IP and maybe just maybe a sequel to Heavenly Sword. I'd love to see a sequel to Heavenly Sword done by Sony Santa Monica.

I am definitely thinking that Sony Santa Monica is due for a new ip, since every other major sony studio has created one, but Heavenly Sword 2 by SSM is a fanboy's wet dream come true.
