Word up. Things in development-land are going quite well these days. We have another playtest at the end of the month and we are cruising through a large chunk of work that needs to get done for it. We should have our first boss done…well not DONE done...but ALPHA done…by the end of the month which is good as we have many others to get through. There are more bosses in this installment, but because of that there is an exponentially larger amount of stress for us as well. Bosses are a tough nut to crack. Especially when you are trying insure the greatest variety in the gameplay and prevent the whole cookie cutter mentality that some games fall prey too. But in the end I am sure it is going to make the game feel so much more epic.
Dave is on the blogging again talking about his love of iChat. I hate iChat. It works really well…and it is pretty simple to set up….so my hatred is not really all that rational. Well maybe it is rational to me, but it does not stem from iChat being poorly designed. I just hate using it. I like the face to face meetings. But it seems to serve us well for the production needs so I will suffer through it and bust out my +3 ‘I Don’t care’ card.
I have been looking at some mock ups for the GOW2 strategy guide. I myself do purchase many strategy guides…not because I am hardcore or old school or anything like that…far from it…mostly cause I am too lazy to read them. That and I usually just go on to gamefaqs and grab the quick hint if I am stuck. I have picked up a few but mostly if they have an accompanying art book or a large section on the art of the specific game. The signature series MGS3 guide Brady did was freaking awesome. The art book they included had a wealth of great concept stuff complete with the art notes. I love reading that stuff, it is that kind of material that makes it worth the purchase for me…but maybe that is just me. I would be curious to know what would make any of you purchase a guide if you normally do not get them.
Ok I need to head out to a cinematics meeting to check out the latest renders form the high res cinematic house.

I am the same way. I rarely by them, and if I do its only for the art. I have contemplated picking up the God of War book just for that reason...but I am kind of holding out hope you guys may release a proper 'Art of' book. Is that a possibility?
I am defintely looking at the idea of a Art of God of War book. I am a huge fan of that stuff and with the crazy art talent we have here it would seem stupid not to do it.
Hi Cory,
Good to hear a designer thinking about strategy guides. I purchased the guide for the 1st GOW because I'm a huge fan and because of the CD with commentary on it. The commentary was excellent and I appreciated the behind-the-scenes artwork and concept art. So, yeah, a CD with commentary and a seperate art book would be totally amazing.
Cheers,
Eric
Yeah I'm really into that whole behind-the-scenes thing. I love the fact that the first GoW had all those "Making of" featurettes. So if a guide were to include something like that or some really nice, never before seen artwork I'd definetely buy it. Or maybe a poster to put up on my wall, that would be rad!
Yo yo yo! How ya doin Cory! Obviously pretty well for yourself. We haven't talked in a while, and I was just wondering if I can borrow a few bucks, though.

I have a fascination with concept art, so do you usually try to get my hands on any art books pumped out. Next up is the art of warcraft.
The GOW movie is still in development. I think they signed a writer a short time ago so imagine the script is getting worked on.
Hej my friend!
Happy to see that you are doing cool shit that you always wanted to do!
I hope I found the right phone # for you 'cause I wanna call you!

You play Magic The Gathering Cory?
Kick ass game that is, i would go nuts if they made a Magic game ala that new Eye Toy game for PS3 with the cards..... just let me use the cards i already got though........
Do we get some more extra content like on the last game?
Cory!
Just saw GameHead last night on Spike TV and it was the GoW2 episode showing Sony Santa Monica Studios and , of course, you and the team. Very good episode (still haven't uploaded the episode yet on spiketv.com, eagerly awaiting).
As for a GoW art book, it would be a great edition to the list of other art books I have on the shelf. Just seeing all of the rejected Kratos designs would be a treat.
And if Cory does indeed play M:TG, I shall cast my Mr.T card!

;p
that mr. t card is awesome.
Salut! It's kinda late for a comment about the strategy guides, but you guys need to make a commentary DVD again. It was, by far, the coolest thing about GOW's guide (along with the cool artworks).. and one of the funniest part of the demo as well. Another thing I really enjoyed about GOW (and I hope you'll be able to do it again), was the downloadable soundtrack!
Keep up the good work man!
Oh and don't cut too much out of the game.
we dont have a gow game guide in norway, just the ones online:(
