Multiplayer not in God of War III, but it *could* be accommodated in the future

godofwar3Not all hope is lost! There still may be some room for a multiplayer feature in God of War III -- or in the franchise at least. This was revealed by no other than John Hight, GoW III director of product development.

 

In an interview with Joystiq, Hight revealed that they did actually consider implementing the multiplayer feature in the game, albeit not from day one. And that while it did not end up in the final cut, it may still make an appearance later on.

 

"Yeah. It was never considered, from day one. I think that there was some confusion, because I also oversee Lightbox Interactive, which did Warhawk. And last summer we were interviewing for some online engineers. So it said, 'From the people who brought you God of War.' So I think some blurb people got that and starting saying, 'Oh, it looks like they are hiring online … there is going to be multiplayer in God of War.' No. We never planned on it, because, you know, this is the story of one guy, Kratos, and his beef with the gods. And we didn’t want to trivialize that.

 

We didn’t want to send the wrong message to our fans that somehow we were turning the game into something that it wasn’t. We are excited about it. I love multiplayer games. We all do. And I am sure that we are going to offer something in that space."

 

If it's not in God of War III, then that means there's gonna be a "next" God of War title, which will then have the multiplayer feature? Sweet!

a lot of people will definitely be looking forward to that. but kratos seems like such a lone ranger, isn't he?

I don't know, MP just doesn't fit to GoW.

How would it look when 2 Kratos are running around?

Bioshock 2 doesn't have 10 big daddies running around. I' sure they could work something out

Quoting Silver-Tiger:

remember the gow1 final battle?

everybody would still want to play as kratos. and if he couldn't he'd say the game sucks.

that's how i see it.

I hope that they don't put it in any God Of War game.

It just doesn't belong.

it's possible to make a multiplayer god of war game because of it's story; before kratos became the god of war he was a spartan. so if they wanted to, they could make a prequel with that parameter and it would make sense.

anyway, none of us have seen the ending of gow3, so they could easily end it in such a way that could open up an avenue for multiplayer.

i want streets of rage+god of war=AWESOME!!!

I'd find a co-op mode interesting, but as yoshi says, everybody would still want to play as Kratos. The 2nd character should be also a badass (Kratos' lost brother Leonidas?? XD), but people probably won't get used to him/her right away (maybe never). They have to think it carefully.
