					<description><![CDATA[As a artist I can understand how they felt. Artists like to take pride in their work and like to see all their works of art eventually become a masterpiece. However sometimes that just doesn&#039;t happen no matter how much you try and fix it. This game probably wasn&#039;t even canned for technical reasons, it could be that they weren&#039;t liking the art direction, or maybe the story line was tame. For all we know they game probably would have still turned out to be good to someone, but it obviously wasn&#039;t turning out to be that master piece they originally envisioned.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Like he said, if it wasn&#039;t working after years in dev, it&#039;s hard to blame them for canning it. Who knows what they&#039;ll do next. Maybe another GoW, which I think would be stupid, but they also could be working on a new IP and just wanted a fresh set of eyes going forward. Who knows, they might take some elements out of what was already developed, and blend it into something new.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Well, I really like God of War and I want a new game in the series on PS4, but I want the Santa Monica Studio first launch a new IP!
Not a matter of being fed up of God of War, but the Ascension was a huge disappointment and we note that the production team feel the need to do something without being God of War!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[one thing that annoys me is that once a game is cancelled, it&#039;s cancelled for good! Dev or Publisher will NEVER go back to that cancelled game. They can&#039;t even give the game to other publisher to finish the damn game.


I can understand whatever reason Sony had to shut this game down. We have too much sci-fi man and we don&#039;t even know if it&#039;s 3rd person ro FPS.


I want more GOW, after GOW3:) but not for Ascension&#062;:/]]></description>

I think people say they don&#039;t want another God of War, much the same way they say they don&#039;t want a new Gears of War.  But God of War will sell regardless.  And many of the people claiming they don&#039;t want these type games again will see them in motion and be impressed enough to put down money for the game.  God of War is a safe bet for Sony, if in fact it turns out to be the game or one of the games Sony Santa Monica (if they&#039;re still called that following the move) is working on.  Sony takes plenty of chances elsewhere and gives their developers and indies plenty of opportunity and freedom to make the games they want to make.  I think when a game gets cancelled, more often than not it&#039;s a case of crunching numbers and anticipating sales against the cost of seeing the project through to completion.  If it&#039;s determined that it&#039;s going to cost more money than it&#039;s going to produce, no company can sustain that in the long term.  Sometimes you have to cut your losses and move on.  Nobody likes to hear about people losing their jobs, but it happens in every industry and game development is a business like any other.  Sometimes difficult choices have to be made.  I only hope in this case the difficult decision is the right decision.]]></description>
