Sony Santa Monica, Sucker Punch, and Fireaxis all look like they will be working on new projects in the not too distant future.
Kratos' original voice actor has explained how Sony approached him about returning to the role for the upcoming God of War Greek remake trilogy.

He was at my local game expo just this past December. During Q/A I asked him if he was interested in portraying Kratos again (this was before the reveal of the current projects). He said he would be, but its up to Sony. And they had chosen Judge because he had the stature AND voice to do the job.
So.... he probably already had been contacted to do this, but obviously could not say anything under NDA.
I liked T.C. Carson as Kratos a lot (and also a big fan of Living Single back in the day). But Chris Judge was also great. Carson was pure anger and very fitting for that era, as was Judge for the modern one. I'll never complain about either.I'll need to hear Carson now really go through the lines though and see how he does with classic Kratos.
It's a bit of a similar case for Metal Gear Solid. While I'm forever a Hayter fan and I didn't like Sutherland in the few moments he did speak, Sutherland as Big Boss/Venom Snake did have an "okay" transition voice between Hayter in MGS3 and Peace Walker, and Richard Doyle in MGS4. Both grossly outshined Sutherland, but I guess it has a slight hint of Hayter's gravel and some of the stern, tired and curt inflection of Doyle.

Sucker Punch delves into the tech that helped them bring Atsu’s engrossing journey to live.
“If we were good at juggling four projects, yeah, we’d have a remaster… But we only get to do one thing”…
That's more than fine. If you keep making one amazing quality game after another, with the low budget you've been utilising for games, then you'll continue to be extremly successful going forward. Don't take on a bigger load than you can handle comfortably.
Also, maybe it's time for a Sly Cooper game. No to Infamous, we've already got superhero games coming form Insomniac. Sorry Infamous fans but I want an open world Sly Cooper game.
Wise decision by a very stupid PlayStation management this gen.
Now let Bend go 1st party too and explore some more Oregon
Im baffled how theyve made a game of this quality on this budget when worse games spend 5x that
You're very right. Take a look at assassins creed shadows...GOY blows that game in every single department. The facial animations are leagues above shadows and also the combat and general mechanics. While on a smaller budget
Naaaaa, I like sly, but infamous is what they should do if they want to go back
Have been watching vids of the game and my wife who doesn't play games, asked me why the baddies as she called them, don't seem to be fighting back much, like they're stood still. The AI is dire and this is yet another showcase game from Sony. Run about and explore with flash graphics. There's just no variety with Sony's games.
Sweet, can't wait to see what they come up with. As for SuckerPunch, where's my Sly 4? :D
I'd really like to know what Firaxis could be doing with UE3. would love to hear they'd finally be looking into modernizing their Rails franchise (with physics etc). but if it is just for the sake of new IP.. that will be a harder sell.
I think its Firaxis and not Fireaxis right? Anyway I would love new IP's. Sequels and all are good but I like new stuff every once and a while. A new Civ for the consoles would be great too.
I always welcome new IPs to the PS3. No idea what Fireaxis is going to do though.
God Of War 4 Bring It!!!
