God of War 2's Director is leaving the SCEA Santa Monica Studios to seek out new opportunities...
Cory Barlog, the Director of one of this year's most critically acclaimed games, God of War 2, is reported by 1UP to be leaving Sony Computer Entertainment America's Santa Monica Studios. This follows the departure of David Jaffe (the Creator of the God of War series) from SCEA Santa Monica earlier this year to set up Incognito Studio.
A Spokesperson for Sony told 1UP, "We can confirm that Cory Barlog, game director for God of War II, is leaving the SCEA SM Studio and we are grateful for his work and creative vision for the critically acclaimed God of War franchise."
However, it's not all bad news for fans of the God of War series as an official confirmation of the much expected God of War 3 on PlayStation 3, was also made: "Moving forward, we are confident in the God of War team, as they are an extremely talented group of people that are passionate about the franchise and dedicated to creating even more epic content with God of War: Chains of Olympus for the PSP and God of War III for PS3."
Despite these reassurances from Sony, it is nevertheless a blow for one of their highest profile first party titles. Given the series' epic cinematic style and stress on detailed plot that runs alongside the gameplay, the loss of key figures in this process such as Barlog and Jaffe is a bit worrying.

lol night vision goggles i got em for £30 also you can now get mw2 nvg pack for £85, ps anyone played the crap gt5 demo yet lol how can you justify a game like gt by giving people a demo thats just over 200mb and thats gt5 not gt5p if sony are realy serious about the ps3 they should have given a demo a lot more thought than what they have for gt5.

that's so amazing that they've redone 1 & 2 in HD! ps3 really has some wicked stuff in 2010, i'm happy i finally decided to goto the darkside instead of sticking to gates broken money-spinner. 8-)

So, do we know when this thing is coming out? I tend to avoid playing my PS3 for games (I just prefer my 360, simple as that), but no way am I missing this thing!

That is an absolute amazing package - undoubtedly the best Collector's Edition ever! Take that night vision goggles.

There is no faulting the God of War series - even the PSP's Chains of Olympus is awesome. The latest God of War 3 trailer looks stunning - here's hoping the story and gameplay are still spot-on ;-)
