Technology God Of War 3 Officially Announced

[PaulyPac]

In March, Sony Computer Entertainment America held a lavish launch party in San Francisco for God of War II. In the course of the celebrations, Cory Barlog, the game's outspoken director, dropped some none-too-subtle hints that the series would be coming to the PlayStation 3 along with force feedback.

"If we were to do a God of War III on the PS3," Barlog told the enthusiastic crowd. "We're excited about the potential--maybe, no commitment, no announcement or anything like that--to maybe have [God of War hero] Kratos in 1080p with the Sixaxis and vibration. Vibration is coming back to the PS3, that's pretty cool, huh?"

At the time of Barlog's outburst, SCEA reps would comment on neither a rumble-enabled Sixaxis nor God of War III coming to the PS3. Now, less than two months after the Dual Shock 3 was unveiled at the 2007 Tokyo Game Show, Sony has officially confirmed that God of War III is indeed in development exclusively for the PS3 at SCEA's Santa Monica studio. It provided no further details on the game.

Unfortunately, the God of War III announcement was tempered by some bittersweet news. SCEA has confirmed Barlog himself no longer works at the company's Santa Monica studio. "We are grateful for his work and creative vision for the critically acclaimed God of War franchise," the company said in a brief statement in which it expressed faith in the remaining members of the GOWIII and God of War: Chains of Olympus teams.

Barlog's departure remains shrouded in mystery. So far, he has shared no information about his future plans on his personal blog, where he last posted in mid-October. His exit comes just under four months after God of War series creative director, David Jaffe announced he was leaving SCEA's employ after 14 years. Jaffe maintains close ties with Sony, and his indie studio Eat Sleep Play's first project is a PS2 port of the PSP game Twisted Metal: Head On.

Everybody knew God Of War 3 would eventually come out as a PS3 exclusive since Sony basically owns the rights. But im not too sure how the game is gonna turn out without Cory Barlog, he was the genius behind the first two games and gave insight into the PSP game. Hopefully the game still turns out to be sick since it is the last in the series.

Is anyone else pissed that now we have to go out and buy the new rumble Dual Shock 3's? Sony made a deal with Immersion since way before the 80 GB PS3 even came out. They could have easily included the new Dual Shock 3 with the 80 gb bundle or even the new crappy 40 GB. Now i have to go out and buy some new Dual Shock 3's and to top it off it doesn't even came out here in the states till Spring 2008 god dammit!!!
