I love God of War 3, but even a non so epic God of War is more epic than 95% of games.Let's hope, because the last two God of War games don't hold a candle to the originals.
We went from this epic sense of scale...
To this...
Stig Asmussen, director of the ‘STAR WARS: JEDI’ games, has left EA.

No. In fact it's combat system is widely regarded as inferior to competitors such as Devil May Cry.
It's setting, unique take on its chosen mythology and the character of Kratos himself was a far bigger draw.
And with GOW 2018 we got a fantastic new setting, another unique take on a different mythology and a lot of character growth for Kratos.
The combat system was different, and that was divisive. I personally preferred 2018s by a considerable margin.
I think it was a game too close to Destiny, from what I recall.
He definitely didn't leave for commercial reasons. The game was a sales success.

Leaving EA is never a bad decision.

Good. It would be nice to see him back at Sony.
The thousands of people who worked in the other two can make the third without him. They can simply replace him.

Million other games about saving someone. In fact probably all other games are about saving someone. God of war was the only one I remember in recent memory that stood up to me about destroying everything on his path. He is called god of war. Not the good surprised father.
As matter of fact god of war 2018 can have a different skin character, different name and it would have been true a new IP. The game has nothing to do with god of war. Not the 3d action camera, not the battels, not the story, not the gameplay. Chains of Olympus are an after thought add on in 2018 that has no purpose.
A true bad game to be called god of war. Yet decent enough for a new IP release

The industry has moved so much away from "anger" and "dudebro" that those concepts have become a breath of fresh air again.

Home? The home he nearly burns to the ground with the cancelled PS4 sci-fi new IP that he directed there between March 2010 and March 2014?
No way.

I'm always amazed that much of the same crowd that belies current PlayStation single player first parties as "movie games" reveres God of War pre-2018. Second rate character action games (not a popular genre) whose best claim to fame even now is spectacle.Let's hope, because the last two God of War games don't hold a candle to the originals.

Do you actually remember what the game mechanics were for that Poseidon fight?

Well shit. Assuming that a third Jedi game will ever see the light of day now (so much for Stig's vision of doing it as a trilogy), I'll be much more skeptical about it. I actually doubt that it will be made at all now because if he wanted to do a third game, then maybe the reason he left was that they pulled the plug on it or made some retarded demands, like shoving in forced multiplayer or MTX (a'la Dead Space 3) and he just said "fuck this" and walked.
From every indication, Respawn has significant creative and release date freedom at EA, so all that talk about EA forcing them to release the most recent Star Wars game ahead of schedule is probably nonsense.
It's like how everyone blamed EA for the titanfall 2 release date only for the info to come out later that it was Respawn's choice.
Either way, they'll certainly miss him.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Game Director Refused Another Delay
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor launched with quite a few issues for players on PC, so why did its game director refuse another delay?

EA offered them another delay. This guy said ":nope, we're good".
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Team Didn’t Think It Needed Another Delay
In the wake of performance issues with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, gamers are reminded that Respawn felt it didn’t need another delay.

Very talented dude.
I hope Sony poached him and got him his own team / studio. He'd be a great fit for modern-day Sony, and vice versa.

Opinion - Community - Hype - Sony Santa Monica´s cancelled IP "Darkside" (Cory Barlog)

Seems to me that EA just put up with his "choices" a little less than Sony did.
SSM canning a project and laying off it's team four years deep was always a gigantic red flag regarding this guy.

He'd be a great choice to head GoW1-3 remakes, especially if Eric Williams was actually able to get the Castlevania license.

People shitting on EA a lot but fyi, while EA may be anti consumer, the employees get payed and are treated quite well. It is genuinely a good place to work at. https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Electronic-Arts-Reviews-E1628.htm

Who wants to bet the next Star Wars Jedi game will come out a lot more polished with this guy gone. The people who want Sony to build an entire new studio around this guy are insane. Hey might have good creative ideas, but he clearly mismanaged the development of those games. EA even offered to give his last game another delay and he refused and shipped Jedi survivor in an awful state.

Hope he comes back to Sony and this project is resurrected; especially now that Destiny has gone to shit.

Considering Jedi Survivor came out like a wet fart I'm sure no one is pleased with the result.
