Well, according to Sony its the last title in the series...however i highly doubt it. Maybe on the PS3 it is. But if God of War III sells millions of copies (which Im sure it will), I bet they will bring more side stories to the PSP.

As for sequels though...I have a strange feeling Kratos dies in God of War III...if this is supposed to be the end.

1.9 - This is not true.
God of War III will not be the last installment to the franchise. As long as it makes money, they will make new ones. This is just Sony wanting to add more hype to the product.

I'm going to get it anyway (hehe), but they need to say such things to add to the hype.

Hey did you guys notice, we got the name of the new director. Stig Asmussen or something, anyone heard of him before? I remember watching a lot of those making of/behind the scenes of God Of War but don't really recall seeing his name. Better watch them again and hopefully I'll see if he has played a significant part in the earlier games.

Man, this reminds me of how I felt when I was told that the Story of Snake ends in MGS4 by Kojima. I will be playing the game feeling happy and Sad at the same time. With all the back story maybe they will release a prequel to God of War after this.

Up to now I'm still wondering about that secret ending of GOW1 where they showed this shadowy figure which was supposed to be Kratos' brother from hell. Maybe they'll continue that route next.

Dude if you get it and you have a PS3 you can play it in HD if you follow these instructions: http://www.destructoid.com/...

I love GOW 2. I think the code works with PS2 if you have component cables but I am not sure.

Makes sense. It's kind of hard to make a sequel to a game that tells why "there are no more Greek myths."

10 - IGA...Kojima...
...they both introduced us to the idea that it is A-O-K to jump all over the board that is the timeline. So why not here? I feel pretty confident that if they WANT to do another game, certainly they have enough backstory to do so. Or we can just go the route that IGA took and omit certain games from the official timeline as never really existing, or part of the extended or ALTERNATE timeline theory.

That would suck for GoW IV. But it might make GoW III that much better.

don't unbubble me now, but a story is as good as the ending if it never ends it's just not a story IMO.

That's a bit simple minded in my opinion. You're thinking of a story the way that movies and books use them.

This is a video game.

I'm not going to write out my full thoughts here, though, since it would take a good few pages and I'm busy today >.<

I honestly don't understand why people want Sony to go beyond GOW3.
Do you guys really want Sony to milk the crap out of GOW 3 like what Nintendo does with Mario and what Microsoft are going to do with Halo?

I do look on Kratos as being the Mario/Master Chief of Sony, but I honestly do not want to see him as the star of several money grabbing mediocre sequels.
God of War 3 will be epic. It'll be Kratos' finest journey without a doubt and will quite possibly be one of the greatest games ever!

Why must you assume that the quality will drop? This is Sony. Not Nintendo. Not Microsoft.

Look at interviews from Yoshida, for instance. He loves hardcore games, and he wants to please hardcore gamers. Would we have Team ICO if that weren't the case (look at their sales record. It stinks, relatively). God of War can continue past 3 and still be a fan-f#cking-tastic game.

You're a pessimist. I'm an optimist. I think that's the kicker.

What I meant by "medicore" is that there would be no innovation in each sequel.
It would feel the same over and over again.

I agree as much as im a huge GO fan..I really hope they tie up all loose ends in GOW3 and lets this amazing trilogy ends ...they can have spin-off games on the PSP but the core story needs to rap up with this game..I dont wont another cliff-hanger ending..XD

and lets the Santa Monica team move on and make another ass-kicking new IP
