With the departure of God of War series directors David Jaffe and Cory Barlog from Sony Santa Monica, fans were left wondering if God of War 3 for the Sony PlayStation 3 would carry the original input of the franchise's creators. David Jaffe was recently interviewed and he says there's hope that his best-laid plans will see the light of day. Details in the full story.

For some people, leaving a company is an opportunity to start anew and pursue certain things that had been relegated to the backseat for some time.

Such is the case with the God of War series game director Cory Barlog, who has some interesting plans for himself now that he has both the time and the freedom with which to carry them out. Find out more about where Barlog intends to go from here after the jump.

We all want to know what happens to Kratos next, and it seems that we're going to find out with God of War III on the Sony PlayStation 3. That's right, the existence of a next-gen sequel to the massively-popular series has been confirmed, but with a small hitch: Cory Barlog, the game director of God of War II, is leaving Sony Computer Entertainment of America (SCEA). Does this mean that the sequel won't be as epic as its predecessors? We hope not.

If you're one of those wondering when the demo for one of the most highly-anticipated PSP titles of this generation,God of War: Chains of Olympus is coming out, then you'll be happy to know that the demo itself has recently gone gold. And the discs containing sweet, sweet God of War portable gaming joy are already en route to our mailboxes. Huzzah!

This news comes directly from Cory Barlog, Creative Director over for the game, through a post in the PlayStation US Blog. His entry, verbatim:

What is up God of War fans? Sorry for the long hiatus but things have been crazy here at Casa De Kratos…much to do. I thought I would come out of my somewhat self imposed media coma to let everyone know that the PSP demo discs are freaking done baby!!!

As I type these words, legions of carrier Harpies are being dispatched to deliver the sweet UMD goodness that is God of War: Chains of Olympus – Special edition: Battle of Attica Demo Disc…otherwise know as GOW: COO –SE:BoADD. Good god…that is a freaking mouthful, even typing this abbreviated version makes me tired.

God of War: Chains of Olympus – Special edition: Battle of Attica Demo Disc, FTW!Good things come to those who wait, and it's certainly the case for the oodles of PSP owners eagerly anticipating to step into Kratos' shoes once more. Updates as we get them!

 

And so be it. From the developers that foretold the "Future of the PSP," God of War: Chains of Olympus will be taking full advantage of the extra processing power they can squeeze out of the PSP, opening up an avenue for more high-powered games on Sony's handheld.

Previously, Ready at Dawn hoped that Sony would "bump up the CPU clock to 333 MHz" while giving them enough tools and engines to drown themselves in. Creating great games has been Ready at Dawn's specialty. From Daxter to Chains of Olympus, they've had toyed long enough on the PSP to know how it works, how to open up new opportunities and how to deliver incomparable graphics on a small, 16:9 profiled screen. Ready at Dawn Studios' Cory Barlog blogged:

Every time I see a new build I am more amazed with what we’re able to pull off with the PSP. I mean, 1080p on the PSP...who would have freaking thought??? Ok so that is wholly untrue, it does look amazing. I feel confident in saying that we (and when I say we, I mean Ready at Dawn since they are doing the bulk of the work) are nailing the look and feel of God of War for the PSP. If everything goes according to plan then this will be a must-have game in your PSP library.

Affirming what he previously stated, perhaps Chains of Olympus would definitely "melt Thompson's hard crunchy exterior" after a good five minutes of game time. Although these developments say a lot about what they've got prepared for the PSP version of God of War, Barlog claims that fans better wait for the game's unfolding at the upcoming E3 event.

The official PlayStation Blog has this series known as "Inside the Developers Studio". Basically, it's a Q&A portion featuring different developers and their upcoming video games. The series began today with Ready At Dawn's creative director Cory Barlog and the upcoming PSP title God of War: Chains of Olympus.

To be honest with you, we find the interview a bit disappointing as no new details were revealed. Not that we're complaining, but we're really looking forward to this especially with all the rumors concerning a PS3 version of God of War.

Barlog started things off by sharing that the Chains of Olympus is going to be the lone title they will display at E3. Speaking of which, the creative director shared that prior to this year's event, he has previously attended a total of seven E3 gatherings before.

Due to the change in format, he is considering this one as his seventh-and-a-half appearance. Barlog shared that aside from his own game, he is looking forward to seeing Bioshock! (PC and 360).

Quite interestingly, when asked to give one person he'd like to play Chains of Olympus for one hour, Cory Barlog answered, "Jack Thompson. I think after five minutes of playing the game, that hard crunchy exterior would melt away and reveal his candy coated liberal center".
