PS Blog EU comments on the win:
Heavy Rain and God of War III are just two of the PlayStation 3 exclusives that have been lauded by critics and loved by you, the PlayStation fans, in the last year. Both can now add recognition from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) to their list of accomplishments as Quantic Dream’s interactive drama won the awards for Technical Innovation, Original Music and Story, while Kratos’ rampage of revenge scooped the gong for Artistic Achievement at the BAFTA ceremony in London’s Mayfair.
Adam Williams has left Quantic Dream behind to form his own studio.
The departure of the lead writer likely means the story is done. The trailer for this game is amazing. Hope it comes out soon.
As spotted by Portuguese site Geekinout, the PlayStation Studios developer is currently hiring for a number of key positions, including a lead audio designer, lead narrative animator, a systems design producer, a senior animation programmer, a senior character artist, a senior narrative designer, and, most notably in this case, a senior technical combat designer.
They are working on another project as well which is ahead of this. But I definitely don’t want it to be wipeout. I loved those but wipeout would not be a AAA. SSM is too talented not to make something epic.
I’ll a take a new Wipeout. I wonder who they would have make it though if it did happen

Ive been here for every god of war, after nearly 20yrs i would just like to see them do something else. I get they are still great games, but it just seems like a waste of their largest studio.
After Ascension selling considerably less than God of War III they had to change things up. They could release a new IP, learn some new things, then release a new God of War improved by the lessons they've learned doing something different. Ascension's multiplayer was awesome btw.
FairPlay @isarai. I still reckon if your on a good streak, you wouldn’t get off it so easily & their next one is rumoured to be Egypt
Hopefully they have something else cooking I agree, as I’d like to see it too!
They are doing something else. New IP is next. I assume it's what Cory Balrog is directing as someone else directed Ragnarok.
Barlog is working on it apparently. The idea is he got the keys to the kingdom for the success of God of War 2018. He is working on his dream game? Unless I interpreted his words incorrectly.
To be fair
Just because it says knowledge about the recent God of War games does not mean it will be God of War
It might just be a direction they are going to go with in a new IP combat wise
IMO Santa Monica has produced the best ps5 game this gen so far, even though it was cross gen. Ragnarok was a fine piece. This game will probably be released at the end of the ps5 cycle.
Still no word on Naughty Dog’s next title. And Sucker Punch is rumored to be releasing Ghost of Tsushima 2 next year. I hope Sony will fill in this large void of games with some reveals in the upcoming showcase.
I personally loved returnal more...Ragnarok was definitely great too..
Naughty dog has lost my interest for a while now....much more interested in bend studios and sucker punch
Returnal was quite good. I did enjoy that as well. I just thought as a single player game Ragnarok nailed it and it was quite lengthy too.
Horizon had a large map to explore but I just wish there was more to do after you beat it.
Bend studios is going to be a multiplayer title, looking forward to see what that will be.
The Opening Levels that hooked gamers from the outset.
