Cory Barlog implies God of War: Ragnarok is hitting 2022
- Thread starter ThisThingIsUseful
- Start date
"Companies should hold things closer to the vest and wait on revealing games and dates until they are close to release"
but also....
"JUST GIVE ME A RELEASE DATE ALREADY WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG"
Lmao!!Crazy how the creator of Sony's most important franchise has turned into an enemy of ps.
So Jaffe knows nothing about the game and its release date (he even thought it was Horizon when first revealed in 2016 XD) but Cory knows the date? I doubt a little unless, unless he is still there in the studio still remotely directing it somehow or giving some advices.

Are you talking about the director of the other Santa Monica game as if he had left the studio?
You know Cory Barlog is still there right?
Ah ok. I thought he left. If he is still there so he knows.
Yes, and still frequently calls out people, asking them to discord in to his YouTube show so he can debate/chat with them. He's utterly shameless and gives zero fucks what anyone thinks of him. I think he's unnecessarily provocative at times but overall not a bad dude, not at all.

People really overestimate "mindshare" or whatever looking at the sales charts for sonys games this year you can see on the platform many of the first party games have a ton of legs.
Pretty much lmao.
He was making bets a few weeks ago telling everyone the game was going to be delayed, until he said a Sony friend reached out and said that wasn't the case and Jaffe was wrong. Seems like he's trying to go back and justify his original assumption. lol
Glad Cory is back online though. Interesting timing since the Bloomberg article did mention we would be hearing something about the release date near the end of the month. 🤔
I'm pretty hopeful that the released date comes at the end of the month if the rumors are true. But Sony does seem pretty comfortable with announcing a date three months prior to release so its not out of the question that we could be waiting until August for the State of Play.
I have to say not seeing it so far is concerning. I guess we'll find out sooner or later I guess....
Cant be any more of a reach than ppl taking that game reactor article as fact.
If it does come out November, pretty sure it would be the first main line GoW game to not come out in spring which will be weird
It may come out this year but also may slip into next year? I coulda told you that. It's probably liklier to get pushed into next year if you ask me, cause everything gets delayed, more time for polish, and the fact that Nov - Dec is an odd time for Sony AAA releases. They had Horizon and GT7 this year and are probably not pressured to meet a 2022 release and will have a decent time for the hype cycle early next year.
Seeing them getting more active on twitter responding is hilarious.
I have definitely felt this weird anxiety on this board about release dates recently. Not sure if it's some latent collective worry stemming from pandemic delays, or if people haven't gotten acclimated to some of these condensed time frames around release announcements and launch dates.
GoW 2018's release date was announced almost exactly 3 months prior to launch. If SSM is targeting a late November/early December launch date, it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that a release date announcement isn't made until the first week in September, after the U.S. Labor Day holiday (which also just so happens to be the week after TLoU Part 1 releases). Imagine how much this board would lose their minds if we heard nothing about GoW: Ragnarok through the summer until early September...
4 years of development during a global pandemic. Not to say it won't make it out in 2022, but people are generally less surprised to hear about delays right now

I never get this complaint about any company. What is a satisfactory level of communication and how is not knowing everything a company is planning affecting the end user?
I don't know them still "friend" as in real friend anymore.
But I guess Cory still appreciate Jaffe as one of the original dev creating the series? 🤷♂️
That one time I confused Cory Balrog for David Jaffe.
I was like "Dang you been working out huh?" He was like "why yeah thanks!".
As I walked away I kept thinking to myself... I just saw David in an interview recently, no way he got that fit that fast...something is up. 🧐
