SCEA job postings for its God of War studio in Santa Monica are advertising for an Online Gameplay Programmer...
Sony Computer Entertainment America is advertising for an Online Game Programmer to join its Santa Monica studio and the God of War production team.
On the US PlayStation site (in the 'About SCEA' section) a posting within the 'Jobs' database reads, "Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) Santa Monica is seeking an Online Gameplay Programmer to join the team behind the critically acclaimed AAA titles God of War and God of War II."
'But that could be for any SCEA Santa Monica game?' I hear you cry, and you'd be right to point that out, but the studio hasn't announced any games in the pipeline other than God of War III.
It would certainly be a little out of the ordinary for a traditional hack 'n slash game to have dedicated online gameplay features. However, the job description does specify that candidates will have to "Interact with Gameplay Programmers to make existing and new code support desired network functionality (including networking of gameplay state, lobbying, commerce, chat, security, and similar)."
In other words, if the job position is for God of War III then it certainly suggests that the game will have extensive online multiplayer features.
However, the job posting also reads "Please be advised that the following job description may not reflect a position that is currently available. This job description may exist to simply gather interest, and may or may not ever become an approved open position," which means that it should be taken with a fairly chunky pinch of salt.

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 ;-)

Gow2 was pushing the limits of the ps2 the next one will probably need to be put on a next gen console if its to be any better at all.

I was expecting a lot more from the first trailer after Jaffe's comment - David Gaff more like.

Just ave your money and get a ps3. It does not matter if the the ps2 is selling more it is a last gen console. You can quote me me right here GOW 3 will never be on the ps2. Just tell me this why would you put a game that needs to be on the current gen console on a previous gen console. So as I said before save your money and get a ps3 trust me you have at lesat a year if not more before it comes out.

just to burst any sony fans but sony confirmed at e3 2008 there will be a further 120 games comming out on ps2 (thats right ps2) in the next 12 months, if i still had a ps3 id be a little bit worried right now as no previous last gen console has had so much support after its younger brother hits the streets and as the ps3 is nearly 2 years old and its older brother is nearly 8 years old, how much longer till the ps2 dies.
