Cory Barlog speaks on God of War III direction, departure from Sony |
Ó
After keeping a low profile in the aftermath of his departure from Sony, God of War II director Cory Barlog finally spoke up and gave comments about issues gamers wanted to hear about. This includes the future of the God of War series and what he's up to these days.Barlog took on the reins of the God of War series after first director David Jaffe left the team and started his own studio. Doubts were initially cast on the sequel, but Barlog surpassed all expectations when he busted out another epic encounter with Kratos and the Greek gods, earning critical and commercial success along the way.
"The Sony Santa Monica team is one of the best teams I have ever worked with," comments Barlog. "Also, immediately after I finished God of War II, I was already working on the story and design for the third game."
So when Sony and I finally did part ways the foundation of the game, along with story that completes the arc we began in God of War, was complete," adds Barlog. "I wish I could have been there to see it through to the end, but it was just not meant to be I guess."
Being slightly more specific on God of War III, the former director says "the story is going to finish off with a very big, very epic bang though. I think everyone will be quite pleased."
Barlog says he's currently working on several other things, and when asked about leaving Sony, he politely says ""For me, the whole departure from Sony was not exactly the ideal route that I wanted to go, but in the end I think it is the absolute best thing I could have ever done."

I am really curious as to why they parted ways...Dam that's gonna be bugging me all day.
He seems like a cool guy to be around. Good blog he has.
(im not saying he did it in a heartless way, but..) I think he did it for money. When your together with the company you have to follow there rules around the games (although I heard SCE is open) and money will be going to SCE. But when you go independent with your team you can either sell your game to sony or microsoft or nintendo and get a hell of a lot of money for it. Or you can make a profit off of every game sold.
Still SCE would get money for having the game use the ps3 but he gets more when he's alone.
God of War III is going to be *****ing sick!
