God of War Team Already Working on Concepts for Next Game

God of War III Senior Producer Steve Caterson recently indicated to IndustryGamers that he has “no idea” what Sony Santa Monica's next project will be. While the studio might be approaching their next title with open minds, they certainly won't be idle in the meantime.

“We’re jumping right back in, I’ve got a small concept team working on our next product for us,” said John Hight, Sony Santa Monica product development director to MTV [thanks VG247]. “We’re actually gonna do something different this time, we’re gonna have a short-term concept, a game that we hope to turn out.”

“I’m not gonna say when, but then we have a much longer term concept team going through, two teams going on at once,” continued Hight. “One with a kind-of long-range, ‘Here’s what we’re gonna do years down the road,' and then another one that’s, ‘Here’s what we’re gonna do as the very next project.'”

The "console cycle" is already out the window thanks to the high development costs both for software and hardware of the current generation, relative to the ROI on each - and the easier wins that motion control innovation has delivered. free driver updater

It's really wonderful that if we have a relatively fast PC, we can start playing Assassin’s Creed within minutes using InstantAction. online fax

If it really takes off, why would people feel compelled to buy a new console? And thus why would the console manufacturers expend the massive resources needed to develop a new console when their capacity to get return on that investment has been drastically curtailed?online fax

I hate to admit it, especially since I like Nintendo's franchises more, but Sony arguably has the best first party development studios. Though no slouch in this department, MS puts less emphasis on first party besides Halo and it shows. They are clearly third in this respect, but that doesn't mean they're not still impressive. faxing online

'm not saying streaming will single handedly kill consoles. But it's another factor in the question, what's the point of building a more powerful console for release in the foreseeable future? (other than for Nintendo maybe, for whom raising the horsepower bar still has a point given the installed base of current display technology).internet fax comparisons

The most ironic part of this whole situation is that third parties will likely take much greater care to use the PS Move in a way that adheres to core gamer sensibilities than the wagglefests they've produced for the Wii. I say this for two reasons:best identity theft solutions

Expectedly, a drop in price by Sony would trigger a price-cut by both Microsoft and Nintendo, who might also consider slash the prices of their respective consoles - Xbox 360 and Wii. Altogether, the price-cuts will help 2009 set yet another sales signpost for thegaming industry.top ecommerce hosting

This just in: Sonic the Hedgehog 4 to require Move and Natal for PS3 and 360 versions. Wii version to require motion controls as well. online fax

That's what I like about Natal, you can use it with your 360 controller. You don't have to put down your controller and pick up another.designer gifts
