What about Kratos having a son/daughter as the protag and Kratos is the antag? Maybe he knocked up Aphrodite.

Does he have a Twitter account? You could find out that way.

You're forgetting that the after-credits scene showed his body missing, with a trail of blood leading down from Mount Olympus. There are several places they can go with that. Maybe he was saved by someone? Maybe he really did jump off the cliff, much like in the first game though this time with no one left to resurrect him?
They will definitely continue the story at some point. That ending served as a business decision I bet. They simply cannot kill one of their biggest characters right now.

A modern day setting would BLOW.
It would be just as bad as Kratos waking up from a dream of Egyptian Gods, Titans and more, and us finding that he's a lawyer working in Manhattan, and then an invasion takes place in actuality. Ha!

That was Jaffe's idea, and it sounded good to me. He said that he'd be willing to direct another GoW, but only if he was allowed to make it more like a Zelda game instead of being linear. The big set pieces could still exist even in that setting. The dungeons would allow for that.

While we're talking about SSM, this was posted by one of their senior technical artists,Rich Greenspan, who's been with the studio for quite a while. Just some reminiscing.
'I sometimes reminisce about my career at @SonySantaMonica and Im reminded of all the great individuals who I used to work with.
In the moment you think that these amazing colleagues and friends are going to be around forever.
But time goes by and old faces are replaced with new. I like to think of our studio as an old seasoned skillet.
We are constantly refining the game development process but our history is what gives our Studio and in turn our games an unique flavor.'

I have high hopes they'll create something special with the power of the PS4.

It might not be an "exclusive" in the traditional sense. For example, it might be a game that's on PC and PS4, so just a console exclusive.
I see no mention @yosp

Two AAA developed at the same time by SSM was the best thing, but one of them is cancelled.
So the AAA of SSM : God of War 1, God of War 2; God of War 3, God of War Ascension.... God of War 4 ?
Really ?
And GOW 4 will come out in 2016 at least, so the first new IP of SSM ( a very talented studio ) since GOW 1 in 2005 will arrived in what ? 2019 ? 2020 ?
It can't be real, i don't know if it's their choices or Sony's choices, but damn i want to see them in a different thing...

He wakes up in a different mytholgical world..taken there by some god/goddess in order to help them fight evil as he has proven himself to be an insanely capable warrior. He chooses to help...shit gets rekt...
Egyption, Mayan or Norse. I'll take it all. That GOW:A teaser was deciphered by some to be a reference to

I'd be in if that meant the structure was to be something like in Arkham Asylum, but not if it had been more like in Arkham City. I don't think that suits GOW.
Can we please stop with the fucking open world games?? They bore me to tears!
Skyrim? Bored after some exploration.
Arkham Asylum? Loved it. Arkham City? Cut my throat with a rusted knife. How many fucking mini-game does that have and why must I cross the entire map to get to a mission? Argh.
Red Dead Redemption? Bored long before I got to Mexico and not even the story saved it for me, after it all started to be repetitive.
I love Jaffe's idea of a Zelda-like GoW, as long as it's focused. Hopefully, even if it's not Jaffe at the helm, it'll be something similar to that. In Barlog we trust?
However, new setting and character please. There's nothing left to squeeze out of Kratos and the Greek-inspired gods.

I'm expecting a sales update and I'm quite looking forward to it. 15 million PS4s sold by year's end?

At the current pace? Nah, I would say 17 million.

Actually from what I remember, Jaffe's vision was that Kratos, after killing the Greeks gods, would then somehow discover the Egyptian gods, the Norse gods, etc. and wipe them out. It would then end with a cinematic of Mary and Joseph preparing for the birth of Jesus.

I think by this stage that's looking like a conservative estimate. NPD numbers have shown that Destiny is doing the business, there's a GTA V bundle on the way and your typical slew of big titles like CoD: AW, Unity and DA: Inquisition are coming out this holiday season. 15 million by the end of the year at least is a given.

I guess when they run the show it could be around 15m, with another 4 weeks until the end of the year.

There's an outside chance of it going over 20 million by year end. Which is nuts considering all the doom and gloom entering the gen.
Nah, PS4 barely hits 15.5 million. Save this post.

That was his idea for GoW3. He actually wanted all three games to simply be called "God of War", and just have marketing figure out how to inform people that each new game was a sequel since it was all just one big story. But after GoW3 he mentioned that in terms of making a new one he'd prefer to do something that was more like a Zelda or Darksiders than the linear experience that the series is currently known for.

They do help with many projects from another developers. But yes it would be great if they can work on a new IP.

Hear, hear! The lack of structure in open world games doesn't really do favors for story-driven spectacles. Sandbox games can be fun sometimes though, in a moderate amount, but I'd rather play GOW the old fashioned way. I don't really get why all the games should be open nowadays.

No, he was at Eat Sleep Play (an indie developer). Now he's here. http://blog.bartletjones.com/ Still don't know what "here" is, exactly. It is a video game developer (mostly?), but they are weirdly quiet about what they're doing.

There were rumors sometime last year that Jaffe's new game was being published by Sony, but we haven't heard anything since. Maybe it'll show up here in December.

Do you think the hardcore God of War Fans woul accept a new Protagonist ?? (That reminds me of Metal Gear Solid 2 with Raven instead of Snake )
Just imagine a Persian Prince with long Hair fighting against the Gods

I'm gonna get hate but I personally think Sony is lacking any decent exclusives save for Uncharted 4 and Indie games. So far they released Killzone and Knack which were both bad. Then inFamous which was okay but not great and very short and light on content. Then they released DriveClub which had a cluster fuck launch with still an ongoing problem with servers. Then the future they have LittleBigPlanet 3 which still has terrible physics and The Order where so far it doesn't have a good reception save for graphics. Hopefully with Bloodborne Sony step their game up. I'm gonna give Sony the benefit of the doubt as with PS3 they launched turds like Heavenly Sword and Lair in the first year. So hopefully they improve. I want to see Gran Turismo 7, Guerilla Games New RPG IP, Media Molecule New IP, Last Guardian and etc. BloodBorne and Uncharted 4 will be a good start though but we need more stuff to get us excited for PS4.
It would be neat to see Kratos rip off the head of Jesus.

I want an open world action game based on Greek Mythology. Hopefully GOW4 finally ditch the linear route and embrace the open world design.

No one ever mentions Resogun.
Opinions I suppose. I thought iNFamous was a pretty good game personally 8/10, but not an amazing game. Also how is Killzone bad? I like LBP's physics just like I like Mario's physics and other platformers. LBP 3 is one of my most hyped games and half ass bullshit dismissive comments like that piss me off. LBP2 was one of my favorite games last generation.

We're supposed to get more details tomorrow (Oct 20.) according to the blog post. Hopefully they can go over at least what devs are gonna be at the show.

The big thing about that exchange is that Cory claims this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjHiC0mt4Ts&feature=youtu.be is below the fidelity of what they are working on right now!
Hope that tweet doesn't haunt him.
Remember that tweet. Bullshit is what they're working on topping that video. Also, isn't Barlog in the alt. team at SCE now after leaving Crystal Dynamics? So his game might not be GO4.

Yeah, Barlog's post about what he was intending to do when he returned to SSM talked about being completely new,yet feeling familiar.
That tells me it's a reimagining or reboot of an existing IP, and with it being SSM, it's GoW.

Personal taste. I mean, if you want to compare bad games, the Xbox has Loco Cycle and Kinect Sports Rivals and Crimson Dragon. I actually like how The Order played (got a chance to play the demo in September), and can't wait for BloodBorne. I think they already stepped up their game much more than MS has.

My ideal is Kratos as the antagonist.
There's really not a lot of actual hype in this thread. Everyone accepts that it probably won't be anything big. We're all curious about the possibility of some cool announcements. It's mostly just a general Sony predictions thread at this point.

Would prefer a new mythology not attached to Kratos at all. Go Egyptian, go Norse, go anything else.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_war_deities#Norse_mythology
I don't expect much in terms of major announcements here. Sony have a lot of games announced already, which need more info being revealed.
So im thinking:
The Order huge blowout.
Bloodborne, new level revealed.
New info on games like Rime, Wild, Everybodys gone to Rapture.
Ratchet and Clank trailer.
3rd partys such as Batman Arkham Knight, Battlefield Hardline. Bundles announced as well.
Uncharted remastered, complete with Uncharted 4 Beta, coming Holiday 2015.
End of show.
