Santa Monica Studio Rumored To Be Working On A New God Of War “Half-Sequel”

- News Rumor
Considering how long is AAA development and how much it costs this is nice way to go.
You have solid foundation with main game and you can explore some side story with big 30-40$ game which won't require full team but only part of dev team.
And if you know how to market this properly (ie Phantom Liberty), you can earn big bucks with less spending.
And players will be happy too because they won't need to wait 5 years for new game from XYZ studio.

I'm not on board for an Atreus spin off.

Fun fact, Phantom Liberty and 2.0 had such high development costs (over 80 million dollars) that when they revealed this information publicly and how much money they spent on current gen enhancements and 2.0 version on top of it (additional 40 million dollars), their investors actually got really mad they blew so much money. That being said, that gamble paid off for CDPR though as they not only salvaged 2020 launch, but expansion and 2.0 also got them a lot of new players

If it starts at the battle of Ragnarok and they expand on that bit from the previous game, I'm all for it.
One of the biggest missteps of GOW Ragnarok was the final battle seemed..... an after thought. Guess they ran out of time.
Make up for it now.
Atreus stand alone game, I'm out.

meh... God of War died to me when it left Greek mythology. Norse, over the shoulder Kratos just isn't the same. Unnecessary open world design, too long, and my lack of Norse mythology knowledge doesn't help.
But this is part of a bigger issue which is ideas being milked dry. God of War could've ended perfectly after 3. Same can be said of Gears and Halo. I'll add Ass Creed as well. All great the 1st 3 outings. Move on to a new project please.

yep.So God of War with no Kratos.
I disliked palying as Atreus. He was fine as side prick in 2018 game but not in Ragnarok.
And it was only made worse but their idiotic, stubborn attempt at "one camera shot". This makes no sense and never did.
Once the camera "moved" to atreus, you knew it will be a while before it goes back to kratos because they can't just switch it.
And no camera cuts limits cool moments and gameplay imo.
But the worst part of the game was Angryboda. Terrible, boring level and character.
Yeah. I noticed that shares of CDP skydived after announcements from this week.
But the brutal truth is that dev cost would be way lower if they didn't have to rework many in-game systems and get the game out of "dog shit" territory.
If you have polished game like Uncharted 4, Ragnarok or HOrizon Forbidden West, making half-sequel or DLC is no branier with current costs of game development.

I'm not sure it's needed but I understand why.
Maybe we could have a throwback title :, The God Of War: All my bitches - A heartwarming tale of all the women who got pumped hard through the ages. He recounts his numerous STDs, the women he picked up at his boys school, when he was younger. Ad a bit of Burt Bacharach, luthor vandross, throw in some posing in the mirror style montages, bang...
Winning.

Yeah, definitely. It's a good way of extending game's lifecycle and fill the release schedule to the next full release. Idris Elba and Keanu Reeves fees probably weren't cheap either, so I guess these also added fair share to the budget

im probably in the minority here but i disliked the direction they took with god of war(ps4), found the gameplay boring and other than 2-3 scenes the cutscenes and story were meh so i didnt bother with ragnarok. Would prefer it if they went back to the craziness and over the top bossfights of the og trilogy, but i know they wont. I hope Kratos sticks around though, Atreus is a terrible character.
