God of War 3 has not begun production, other games take precedence

It seems the director of God of War II, Cory Barlog, wants to pay attention to other projects before the much-anticipated God of War III makes any sort of debut. On his blog, he talks about a lot of things, but he mentions how he's not paying attention to the trilogy and instead is working on his very own RPG opus -- A Family Ties game. Or something.So for those of you who were expecting some kind of surprise at E3 or Tokyo Game Show, we hate to be the bearers of bad news, but you'll be waiting a while to see Kratos and the Titans crushing the crap out of Olympus. Unless Sony pulls a Kojima and replaces Kratos with a different, less gruff and manly character. Possibly a Roman who likes to comb his hair and do cartwheels. That would be most unfortunate! We don't need another Raiden. Or ... do we?

If it hasn't even begun production, put it out of your mind because it will take at least 18 months to produce. Which puts it smack dab in the Christmas08 holiday shopping season.
Unfortunate, but true.

If you read the quote, the guy says he'll yell about GOW3 as soon as he's allowed to, until then he's working on a Family Ties game.
Translation: HE'S WORKING ON GOW3. Good Gravy people, it's not that tough.

@ whackmushrooms -- Close, but if you read the actual blog, Cory talks about that video, saying it's funny and fake.
"NEW ADDITION! Check this freaking sweet link out. Appearently they are working on GOW 3 in Brasil!! Too funny...I am credited as a producer again!!!" - Cory Barlog

Does anyone else think we need to form an anti-Wii alliance with 360ers? In a couple of months the Wii is going to be surpassing the 360 as well!

i personally dont mind. let time pass. by the time 3 hits the ps3 hardware/programing issues should, hopefully, be put to bed and scea can make a game that will blow your mind, using everything the ps3 hardware has got locked away.!!,

A GOD OF WAR 3 SHOULD BE DONE. TO ME THAT IS WHAT HE SHOULD BE THINKING ABOUT. G.O.W 1 WAS GOOD AND 2 WAS BETTER. SO I BELIEVE 3 SHOULD END IT ALL. IT SHOULD ALSO BE AVAILABLE ON PLAYSTATION 2 AND PC.
THINK ABOUT IT.....
