God of War 4 coming September 2012 - Source

Respected mag PSM3 points to Sony sequel

[shikamaroooo]

the fact it says September i don't believe it since every GoW game has released on march (except GoW: GoS)

[I_find_it_funny]

love God of War

[solideagle1]

GOW is the real deal. i have not played GOW3 yet:( but i would love to. lets see how my future goes for gaming....right now no next gen console ;) ahem ahem as for GOW my fav action game just close to DMC3. but DMC3 gameplay is better but over all GOW is miles better.

thanks

[HammockGames]

@ Shikamaroooo

Yup, March has historically been the release window for GoW. No reason they couldn't revise that, though, and try for a holiday blockbuster.

Regardless, E3 might've just gotten more interesting.

[NewMonday]

I wish it has co-op like the classic Golden Ax, the final boss fight in GOW Ghost of Sparta proves it can be done.

[jony_dols]

After completing the excellent GOW3 & the most recent PSP title Ghost of Sparta, I reluctantly say that I'm now finding that the series has gone a bit stale.

Unless Santa Monica overhaul some major gameplay elements of GOW4, it won't be a day oner for me....

But thats just my opinion.

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Make it an adventure-quest/open world/action/rpg/hack'n slash GOW. That's what David Jafe visions were after GOW1; make a zelda like GOW. Well it HAVE TO BE done, that will give GOW a long replay value and teh haters "8 hours long" will be history !

Edit: Do you know that Santa Monica doubled of their team members? The GOW3 team was almost 200 hundreds people, imagine now 400!!! 400 professional with senior engineers among them just for one game!!! The only reason is: http://n4g.com/news/661916/...

Don't worry, IT IS A REALITY, and GOW4 will make use of it (maybe MGS5 too), that's the only way to counter the soon releasing consoles from the opposition. I don't see Sony rushing the PS4 just to counter slightly powered consoles with no striking new features. Sony will wait for 2016-2017 to launch the PS4 with revolutionary technologies like tactile holography and ray-tracing, until then the PS3 well get upgraded to the promised initial form envisaged by Ken Kutaragi with 4 Cell processors (which can display a resolution of 3840x2160 at 240FPS, with no sweat and that will keep the PS3 (PS3.5 or PS3.9) in the competition for a long term until the release of the PS4))!

[SuperLupe]

GOW is an excellent series but...do we really need another one ?

Id prefer they work on something else.

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Here are more proofs of what I said:
- David Jaffe wanting GOW to be like Zelda:
http://n4g.com/news/449955/...

- Studio Santa Monica doubling the team: http://n4g.com/news/729209/... In the article they said they were going from 100 to 200 full time job developers, which will remain working permanently in the studio, if you watch a video interview for GOW3, the director mentioned that their team grew up to 200 developers: 100 where full time and stayed in the studio and the the other 100 were only temporary working on GOW3, when the game launched, they left the studio and the director even helped them to find other projects, the same can be said for GOW4, 200 hundreds are going to be permanent and the other 200 hundreds will be temporary.

- PS3 capable of hooking and treating many Cell processors:
http://n4g.com/news/663588/...

- Touchable Holography: http://n4g.com/news/375577/...

- PS4 will feature ray-tracing: http://n4g.com/news/635186/...

- PS3 can display 3840x2160 at 240FPS with 4 cells hooked together:

http://n4g.com/news/233797/...

And personally, I see having this solution is better than taking the risk and developing a new console. It is better and cheaper for both Sony and customers to invest on upgrading an already well established console rather than on high priced new one. Maybe if the PS3 had all the 4 Cell processors at launch, it would have costed at least 2000$ and would have been doomed to fail. Now the technology has advanced and and producing those components is cheaper than before. Let's say the addon may cost between 50-100$ no more, way cheaper than buying a 600$ Xbox 720. Keep in mind that in the previous generation, the first PS2s released couldn't run GT4, MGS3 GOW1&2 etc, so you had to buy newer versions of PS2s to run them. I don't see why the thing won't happen again, with either buying the addon for the already shipped PS3s or buy newer PS3s with the new processor integrated in them!

Dare to disagree more now?

[RSPproductionz]

maybe the world will end in 2012 after all

[DatNJDom81]

Yes! Right before the end of the world. Didn't wanna die without running through one last Kratos murder spree. Except this time Diemos and Kratos will be both be slaughtering shit. Can't wait!

[Bull5hifT]

WOOoooooo! 3 Months to play Before The World Ends. 2 and a half months, last 15 days reserved to .F*** prostitues 24-7... With my life savings, aids wont mean S*** Anymore at that point ---hope Vegas aint OverCrouded

[gta2800]

@SuperLupe

Really? Why question that? God of War is awesome! it's like having 3 sets of tits in your face and you're questioning whether you would like a 4th set on your face by saying "do I really need another one?" Really?

Snap back into your senses! God of War 4 will be awesome!

[kneon]

September makes sense for a PS4 launch title.

[jony_dols]

God of War 1 came out mid-PS2 cycle.
God of War 2 came out end of PS2 cycle.

God of War PSP came out mid-PSP cycle.
God of War GoS came out end of PSP cycle.

God of War 3 came out mid-PS3 cycle.
God of War 4.......?

Do you not see a pattern?
A 2nd GOW iteration on a console is always it's swan song.

[Istanbull]

LOL do u really think PS4 will come next year?? LOLOLOL!! Don't expect a PS4 before 2013 or 2014.

Also: jony_dols gave a perfect nice answer.

[kneon]

@jony_dols

I see the pattern, but I also saw the heavy criticism they got for the PS3 launch titles. What better way to launch the PS4 than with the first of the post trilogy GOW games. It will likely be the first in a new series set in the GOW universe. If we see little in the way of new games for the first half of next year then that's a good sign that the PS4 is near.

@Istanbull

There is little chance they will wait until 2014, the only way I see that happening is if the XBox.next doesn't launch before then and the wii.next fails to cut into their sales.

It will most likely be next year or the year after. They've been working on it for a while, the only issue is when is it the best time to launch from a strategic perspective. They certainly won't wait again and launch 12-18 months after everyone else.

[jony_dols]

Well considering Sony Santa Monica spent 4 years creating their GoW 3 graphics engine, it wouldn't make sense to abandon it after only one game, and then start afresh on a new console. New engines cost a lot of money & time to develop.
And neither Sony or Santa Monica want that, when they already have one of the best engines out there, that be improved even further with a few tweeks.

Regardless of that, the (very) earliest that I could see a PS4 announcement would be a possible E3 2012 reveal, with an aim at a Spring or Summer 2013 launch. But even that is unlikely.....

[Prettin]

The PS4 in 2012 is a bit early. Also, where does it leave the current owners? The PS2 has been around for many years before the release of the PS3. I don't think hardware is the problem(bottleneck...name it!) with Playstation. :)

[showtimefolks]

ps3 selling as well has proved that if you put the better product out there it will sell.

this goes for both ms and sony why release a next gen console when the tech will be about the same.

kneon

so you know more than every publisher out there who have said we don't need new console for atleast next 2-3 years?

[GarandShooter]

@ showtimefolks

It's not only what is said, but who is saying it, and from what perspective.

Of course publishers want to extend the life cycle. They foot the cost of development, and right about now their devs are able to churn out games on a consistent, profitable basis. They are the bean counters of the industry, concerned mostly about the bottom line.

Devs on the other hand are the artists of the industry. I personally place more value on their opinion of current gen hardware.

We all know Crytek want more powerful machines with more RAM.

[kneon]

@Prettin

It leaves the PS3 owners in the same position as the PS2 owners were when the PS3 launched, fewer new games as the focus begins to shift to the PS4. But a cheaper PS3 for those that aren't ready to upgrade.

@showtimefolks

No it doesn't go against the 10 year cycle. The PS2 was on a 10 year cycle but the PS3 launched well before the PS2 was 10 years old. The cycles overlap, why does everyone seem to forget that?

But when the PS4 launches expect the PS2 to go away in most markets. They may still keep it around in developing countries if it continues to sell though, unless the PS3 can be sold below $100 by then.

[cliffbo]

@PLASTICA-MAN

you said "Keep in mind that in the previous generation, the first PS2s released couldn't run GT4, MGS3 GOW1&2 etc, so you had to buy newer versions of PS2s to run them.".

i owned an original ps2 and it had NO problems running gt4 and all the other games you mention in fact i had no problems running anything at all except the odd Japanese release but even that problem ended when i had a mod-chip fitted.

so in conclusion stop talking crap.lol

OT. GOW4 will i hope be fantastic and be mp as well.

[TVippy]

I don't believe the fact that it took only 2.5 years for them to develop it.

[saladthieves]

You know what? I'm just gonna wait and see. I'm watching this very closely.

[gameraxis]

I was thinking the same thing, until i thought maybe they want the Christmas sales to boost over the 3 mil mark... plus end of the trilogy which has kratos and the greek mythos world revolving around the "GOD OF WAR" which is what ties into the march date, this would be the perfect time to end the trend... but i'd love to see an extra few hours of prologue or epilogue before then...

[gta2800]

I hope this is true!!!!

[Ravage27]

March 2012, my body is ready :)

[sikbeta]

freaking sweet I know it's going to be Epic as every GOW game, but I hope it has the lenght of the first 2 games combined

[cp68]

Kratos: "The monster you created has returned... to kill you! "

-From God of War I to Ares

[Prcko]

omg one more god of war,favorite game of this gen,day 1!!!

[solideagle1]

its not this gen...GOW is generation less game any generation can play it and will love it ;)

thanks

[Xof]

Well, it's inevitable...

Here's hoping there's no Kratos. His story ended in the first game, which made him so much worse in 2 and 3 I can barely articulate it.

I'd kill for a "reboot" w/ a different mythological setting. Greek is a tad overdone. How about Hindu or Buddhist myth? Native American myth?

Or, hell, follow Hesse and dive into an original mythology based off of Jungian psychology and Zoroastrianism.

[NewMonday]

It would be like a Duke Nukem game without Duke

[Blad3star]

You don't get his point do you - Duke Nukem games are centered around his personalty.

Kratos can always pass the God of War torch to some one else because the games are more centered around mythical gods.

Kratos is my all time favorite character but I think he needs a rest - my only concern is that Jeffe had alot of say in Kratos design and with out him...Lets just say I dont want to see a Devil May Cry repeat.

Kojima also has to let snake go and bring in a new younger Snake replacement - but what ever you do Kojima keep the emo looking kid from my MGS 5.

[pain777pas]

@Blad3star
I know people disagreed with you however I would not be suprised if Athena ended up the next GOW or something. GOW series was well done. The torch can be passed and make a different game because of that. I would not be suprised if the next GOW is a woman. I TRULY MEAN THIS. Santa Monica are risk takers that would be a huge one but Athena as the GOW would be interesting.

[chidori666]

The story is over. Every new entry to the series would just look more and more stupid. To be honest GOWIII already prooved that it would be better to let the franchise pass by - the first two were much better.

[Nicaragua]

I agree - i thought GOW3 was pretty feeble in both story and content.

Looked stunning though.

[hiredhelp]

The story was great if anyone followed it. And the story of ghost of Sparta was also great as found it a gap filler

[Eamon]

The story was great if you followed it carefully.

As for the gameplay it was also great just not as groundbreaking as GOW2.

God of War 2 was like a huge leap forward in terms of gameplay. GOW3's leap in gameplay wasn't as huge but still extremely fun to play.

It had the same GOW formula so what's there not to love?

[GodsHand]

Hope is what we fight for, when all else is lost.

[cyborg6971]

All of your suggestions sound terrible.

[cooperdnizzle]

Give me another good game with greek? Com on i am waiting ..... That's right how can you say its over done. Ill tell ya whats over done. War shooters that have no other elements to them what so ever! That my friend is what you would call over done!

[Close_Second]

Please...can we have an epic battle in terms of numbers! I want to take on an army and not just scattered troops.

[Silly gameAr]

Are you serious? Almost every battle in GOW 3 was epic. The enemies were plentiful. I'm not sure how well we would do taking on a whole army of undead soldiers, 3 cyclopes, 2 centaurs, and a 3 headed cerberus mutt.

@NBT91

Exactly. I got my a** handed to me plenty on that part before I finally got lucky.

[NBT91]

I got the platinum on GOW 3 recently, and on titan mode there is that battle with the Cerberus, Satyrs and exploding dogs... No more than 6 enemies at one time, yet it was the hardest thing I have done in a Game for a long time.

I do not think having too many enemies would be a good idea :P

[HD_GAMER1989]

thats what heavenly sword 2 is for. oh so giant titans weren't cool enough for you :s I call atlantis. kratos survived because he has Poseidons powers so when he enters the water his wounds heal, and somehow he ends up in atlantis. his brother will be the antagonist aswell as athena. at above theonly other most obvious mythology to cover besides greek would be Norse God. but i doubt that will happen.

[NBT91]

I thought it tells you in God of War 3 that Hercules was his brother... And he is kind of dead now, Kratos pummelled his face into mush, remember? :D
Or did he have another? I did not play Ghost of sparta yet..

[Nicaragua]

Hercules was his half brother but he also has another sibling who he left to be tormented in Hades - its pretty well documented in GOW3 when you keep finding notes in Hades.

[HD_GAMER1989]

also kratos's real brother was in hades. therefor his soul has now been released due to kratos killing hades and all and probably very angry at kratos and very bitter.

plus if kratos lives he is the only god left now so technical it is up to him to rule the world. if you think about it every god he killed he got theyre powers. hades blades(could summon souls to attack enemies, Hephaestus blades,hermes boots and so on.

maybe kratos will discover his family lives because hades no longer lives. and he has to get to them. and his brother and athena stands in his way. athena is a strategic person who always plans ahead so maybe she will use his love for his family as a method of getting his powers so she can rule the world.

[Eamon]

Athena's soul is somehow still alive. She also took the blade of olympus with her didn't she?

Kratos also stabbed himself with the blade releasing the power of hope into the world or something. I'm not sure if Kratos still has his godly powers anymore since the blade is known to suck out the powers of a God into it like when Kratos fights the statue boss in GOW2 and when Kratos stabs Zeus in GOW2 to take away his ability to become huge.

Either way, if there is a GOW4 and if Kratos is still alive, then he will will probably start off as a semi-mortal again without the godly powers he inherited for each of ones he slayed.

[belal]

what the hell is kratos going to do now? lol he has killed all the gods...

kratos need a new hobby lol

[Haseo106]

Kratos is thinking "When I come back, I will whoop even more asses than before!"

[gameseveryday]

Come on..bring on Hercules!

[Kain81]

i think Hercules/Herakles has lost his face in GoW3...literally

[Eamon]

ROFLMAO

[LordZ]

@Rashid Sayed

That you haven't played the game, i see.

[supremacy]

Well if jaffe had his way, than we be fighting the horsemen of apacolypse and other mythical characters from other mythical ventures. According to him he wanted kratos to become like death himself, but after he left Sony the next guy took it in a different direction.

So we will see how this pans out if true.

[colonel179]

David Jaffe created the best franchise in the PS2, and Kratos and GOW will be classic just like Mario, Zelda, Halo, etc. but I really liked the way it went with God of War 2; for me, it's the best game.

God of War 3 could have been way better than it was, at least story wise, because the gameplay was amazing and the bosses too, but God of War 2 felt longer, with a bigger world, more variety.

[MeatAbstract]

Have to agree with Colonel there. God of War 2 was definately the height of the franchise.

God of War 3 was a great game but I felt when you reach the half way point it steadily declines. It looked fantastic and some of the fights were fantastic but it missed something that made the second game so great.

Still, God of War 3 had the best opening of the series.

[offdawall]

please let this be real , gow is my favorite franchise rite now .... hmm i bet its gonna be 2 player co op this time .... wouldent that be sick

[I_C_PEE]

Bring Jaffe back on board and my hype meter will go thru the roof

[coryok]

im interested

[theone26]

CHAOS, will rise once again! YEEES!

[aaabbbccc4324]

well if you remember from god of war 3, athena betrayed kratos. In fact Athena is actually secretly the big bad guy in god of war as she used kratos so she can rule the world using the power kratos got from zeus in god of war 3, so really it was athena all this time, she is responsibel for the death of kratos brother deimos and athena made kratos kill the gods actually, and so god of war 4 most likely will be about kratos going after athena which is likely to be the final god of war.

good release date by the way, it will be good for polishing the game and getting top quality

good release date by the way, it will really be good for polishing th game and getting top quality

im geussing after kratos dies in god of war 3 he escapes hades again and gets a boat to ogygia and calypso becomes the sex mini game in god of war 4 and she supports a him and slowly as kratos meets angry citizens, he shows remorse and changes into a better person, gaining support from the survivors and eventually fighting athena(i think argus will be in this game)>

the game will be a lot like the oddessy if you have read it. and i think when kratos kills athena the world will be restored again but kratos dies and goes to elysium with his family and kratos sort of becomes a saint.

[SnakeMustDie]

Kratos a saint? It's hard to imagine

[Ricco-Warrior]

i want what your smoking if you think you can say kratos and saint in the same sentence

[Amaterasu5]

"Kratos killed 1 million saints"
only way you can use the sentence

[Lelouch Vi Britannia]

I don`t know, but I think if they working in another project other than GoW will be fantastic, I wanna see them in another field !!

[Yukicore]

I haven't even played 3rd one, i purchased GOW Collection (1&2), now i am playing 1st one, GREAT GAME, can't wait to play 2nd and 3rd one, got to admit even if it is remastered (talking about 1st GOW HD) it doesn't look that great, so that's why i can't wait to play next series, but i have a lot to go trough in 1st one.

[HD_GAMER1989]

gow 2 is a decent step up from gow 1 then gow3 kicks the crap outta both but not in a puzzle sense tho.

[aaabbbccc4324]

god of war 3 is the best linear game ive ever played in my life i gave it 8/10, most most games i give 7's but this is probably the 3rd best game ive ever played, not only that but its alos got the best soundtrack ive ever hear in a game:
here's some tracks for example:

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Dayngls]

i hope this is true but please no multi player. if there is ever a game where mulitplayer doesnt fit its gow

[aaabbbccc4324]

even though ive played the game over 12 times and put at leat 100 hours into it, i would like to have multiplayer in it except its different from any other game as the mp supports over 40 players and also has bots and you can play as a titan aor kratos or whatever you like, at the same time on the battlefield theres AI soldiers numbered in the thousands then it would be the most awesome epic mp ever!

[aaabbbccc4324]

i hope the story mode is at least 20 hours this time

[Amaterasu5]

Quality>Quantity for most god of war fans :)

[aaabbbccc4324]

i imagine the water effects will be amazing

[Ninver]

More kratos plz

[Rampaged Death]

Shame. I would have liked them to do a new IP

[blackburn5]

When Athena died she became something else. So why not the rest of the Gods? Kratos probably has to kill them too. After all Athena already showed that she wanted 'Hope' to control humanity. So Kratos probably has to kill her and the Gods again. Only problem is their is no one left to get power from. All the Gods and Titans are dead. Or they can just use my idea: Kratos's daughter takes over from a badly crippled Kratos and fight's Athena's forces for him......... and is topless thoughout the whole game. @ Sugreev2001. not a bad idea. Now that the Gods are gone he may want to fix all the damage he caused.

[UnSelf]

a common misconception is that all of the Titans are dead when this is in fact not the truth.

play da game again

[PLASTICA-MAN]

we were going to fight Oceanus when he is fighting Hermes, with all the water effects, but anyway, he is still there now waiting to be defeated ! :D

[UnSelf]

i thought the same man :(

[zero_cool]

Figured it would not come until late next year which makes sense because a game of that magnitude needs proper time to be crafted right.

[NYC_Gamer]

what is left for kratos,though?he got the revenge he wanted on zeus.

[Kon]

That is a shame. He already finished his story, and now what will he do? I don't want such a nice franchise to get milked

[Inzo]

Nice!....NICE!!! a cup of tea is nice! and what do mean milked? gears1, 2 and 3 in one gen, GOW spans over 2 gens, if this article is true it would have been almost 2 & half years before GOW4.

[Amaterasu5]

kon, ur trolling almost every god of war article since ive seen you ...like 7 months ago, and i will say this:
it takes ~3 years to release a main sequel, unlike gears and cod which release 40000 games in ONE generation, and as long the quality is good, its never "Milking"

[Vandamme21]

Can't wait, I love God of War.

[JMyers]

Oh My God... of War. I'll wait for confirmation from Sony.

[Peaceful_Jelly]

Who is left for Kratos to kill?

[Agent_hitman]

Xbox fanboys keep on criticizing god of war sequel like "Why is there another GOW sequel blah blah blah that sucks!". Feel Threatened LOl.

They should look at HALO's past 4 sequel before they whine and criticize Sony's GOW series LOL.

Well, this will be another great game for PS3 platform.

[Killzone3___]

halo sucks , the gameplay is boring , it's always the same and anyone who play it in the first 15 minutes will know everything about it , it's for noobs , no need for skills in it... but God of war 2 had a big step then god of war 3 had bigger , it always getting better , same with Killzone - uncharted - inFAMOUS - gt ...etc , i don't count psp games ... so God of war only have 3 games , and only one on ps3 , 2 on ps2 so ps3 need another one befor ps4 release then they start making another one for the ps4 .. we all love God of war , so why not making another one even if it have the same gameplay it will have amazing story , they always improve the game alot , everytime they make another one they have new things for the story and the gameplay...
it's the only game that grown up really really love it ...

[_Q_]

I love this series. Why can't it just end? 3 was it.. They cant do anymore with the franchise... I can't see this working. I know i'll get a bunch of disagrees but some games should just end.

[bebojet]

It ain't over yet...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[_Q_]

lol The first thing that came to mind is "God of War: Too" haha The "btw he has a brother" deal doesn't sit with me. There is a reason Jaffe doesnt do the franchise anymore...Its finished...

Thanks for showing that btw.

[assmonkey]

If this is true I'll be so excited! GOW3 is an amazing game :)

[stuntman_mike]

when i saw the headline " the god of war tune instantly came to mind like a chorus of angels".

[Killzone3___]

heared God of war 3 is one of the hardest games and i played it and finished it 2 times , hard and titan .. it's not a hard game like what people say , same with bishock or any game you people say , there is no hard game , i never saw one , but it's amazing game , i love it...

[kingofhalo2050]

The most overrated series ever. It has nothing to offer besided visuals.

[Inzo]

says the the guy with a name like kingofhalo.

[kingofhalo2050]

Says a guy who has played all 3 GOW, a guy who still thinks MGS4 is the best game ever made on consoles, says a guy who appreciates good games on all the system. Fanboyism is the most retarded thing that has happened to the gaming industry.

[Donnywho]

I loved this game, beating 1 on god mode was stressed out bliss, 2 blew me away once again, and then 3 was a nice finish. A little outdated in the mechanics but a great game.

Maaaaaan I hate to say this but, leave kratos be, it's over.

[bebojet]

The last boss should be Kratos' brother.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Chaos23]

I HOPE THEY BRING JAFFE BACK THOUGH

[MeatAbstract]

Doubtful, he has his own company, Eat. Sleep. Play.

[dmonee]

rumor mongoring is good enough for me. YESSSSSSSSSS!

[Silver_Faux]

I love GOW but id love to see that amazing engine of SM's used on a new IP.

Although I spose GOW got 2 runs on the ps2 and the graphics crazily improved for GOW 2, can't imagine if this is true how epic the fights would be.

[slavish3]

milking it good :)

[MeatAbstract]

Will probably get death threats for this, but I hope this isn't true.

I really enjoyed the God of War trilogy. They're games I will always hold as some of my personal favourites and I can happily go back and play them again and again.

But I also feel its concluded, its done and Sony Santa Monica, a development team I have much respect for, should work on another project, something fresh and new. I'd love to see what else they are capable of.

[gamingisnotacrime]

as long as it goes back to its roots, GoW3 as good as it was, it was missing the magic from GoW 1 and 2

[rataranian]

I'm a PS3 owner, and this series is starting to burn out. The games are great. But this story is getting a bit old already.

[nfourgtoday]

That would be killer. I hope it's true.

[strifeblade]

i swear they better not make a god of war that takes place after the third one since the series would be ruined. it would be absolute bull since we know what happened to kratos after the third. Seriously milking the series if it takes place after the third

[RAmar101]

Even the most stringent xbox fan must experiance gow3 titan battles, truly awe inspiring

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

and I hope this isn't the beginning of making it a milked franchise!!!

[TheLastGuardian]

PSM3 you better not be lying. God of War 4, yes please.

Give us a teaser at E3 at the very least.

[soren]

azarths wrath is gona pawn this game

[ThePsychoGamer]

Well the narrative can't get worse then 3. I hope they add a new playable character.

[Darkseeker]

I assume a sequel is coming since

[Spoiler]Kratos stabbed himself with the sword and was left there for dead, but after the credits, he is gone, which means he is somehow still alive, so his story isn't over and could go on[/Spoiler]

Of course, there is also the fact that God of War is a big sony franchise and since they make money with it, it would be stupid to stop. It's like Nintendo not making mario, zelda or pokemon games anymore.

For many of you who are pissed at the fact that they are doing a GOW4 you should NOT consider yourself a true GOW fan! WTF are you complaining about?!?!? Many of you are pussies, whiny little bitches, BRING ON GOW 4!!!!!

[SSKILLZ]

It has to be released in march because that's the month of the God of War true fact.

It's funny that many of you say GOW story is getting old but forget to realize that Call of Duty is ALWAYS old and very much the same thing! So is Mario, but it's a huge favorite, Zelda, but naaaa noone wants to hear about that! Shit..bring on Socom 1001234, noone would complain about that, wash rinse, repeat! At least GOW has a story that takes us to a journey in a mystical sense. Wait, "Battle Field, massive company # 1347" is coming out in the year 3011 and people will still buy it, why cause fans love the franchise!

This E3 will be full loaded can't wait

btw After kill all the gods the only that Kratos didn't killed was Athena as she say in the game she 'ascended' o another being and she tricked Kratos since the first game. Maybe Kratos will hunt Athena this time or who else?

[Cajun Chicken]

Holy...S**t. Can't be.

Please don`t f* the lore of God of War series.
That`s all I want as a God of War fan.
If GOW 4 would be coming in September 2012, the game should be announced in a couple on months @ E3 2011

freaking sweet I know it's going to be Epic as every GOW game, but it has the lenght of thefirst 2 games combined

Oh when I post an article about GOW 4 i don't get approved because of the hatred for hiphopgamer and also because ppl probably thought it was spam. Now i not only see 99 articles about the game lmboooo but it shoots to number 1 are u kidding me! no disrespect to whomever but c'mon.
