I don’t personally subscribe to the notion that you can “hurt” a trilogy or series of great games just because they bring out a spin-off title… even if said spin-off title is a load of old guff. Final Fantasy VII is still the same classic title – it never became a *bad game* the moment Dirge of Cerberus came out. The 0′s and 1′s on those three great PSX CD’s didn’t magically alter overnight. So yes, on the chance that they may make a really cool GoW spin off… or even a really cool GoW 4 game itself, chucking out the trilogy idea altogether, I say go for it!

I don’t think they should do spin-offs. I was talking to my friend yesterday about this same exact thing. I think the Halo franchise is dead, and Microsoft is trying to weed out every last bit they can from it. I don’t think God of War should go in the same direction. As odd as this sounds, them NOT milking the franchise will give them more profit than they would if they did milk it. Perhaps doing ONE more God of War with Kratos (aka him working for Ares) may work to their benefit.

I’m with Blinky on that Norse God of War.

As long as they can continue making additions to the game and keep improving it, I’m all for as many God of War games as they can put out. It’s why I love Halo so much. Yea, there are a ton of games, but each one feels fresh and fun, and they do make improvements. If God of War stays on the track it’s on now, then I wouldn’t mind a few more God of War games.

It’s always great when you can go out on top… something I wish, say, The Simpsons could’ve learned a few years ago, lol. Also, I just got my email from Amazon saying that my Ultimate Edition has been shipped, so hopefully no one expects anything out of me tomorrow.

I think that is one of the best decisions I have heard from a game company. Not milking a franchise, that is gold. I want it to end and I want it to end well and it seems like it will be that way.

If they do have a side story that they think is really cool or would help in the overall story, I have no problem with a spinoff, but it has to be well thought out and not just made. Like Kratos’ brother??

That’s too bad. I respect that but I’ll still crave for more. I know I will. Just like when Dirge of Cerberus came out. I played it even though it sucked just because it was FF.

I think it would be kool if a new hero rose up to take on Kratos. or maybe not..cuz we all know Kratos would skin him alive. Damn! it’s really too bad.
