Title: Cory Barlog to leave SCEA
Post by: Billy Rygar on November 06, 2007, 08:53:46 PM
Genius designer Cory Barlog, the real reason God of War smacked you with its doric column, is leaving Sony.  Here is hoping he moves somewhere cool.


Stolen from GAF of course.

What a coincidence, it just so happens that Kudo Tsunoda is currently looking for a job!

I can't be the only one who reads Cory Balrog, can I?

Sucks, but I'm sure he'll land on his feet and make awesome games somewhere. Sucks for SCEA and God of War, though. I was looking forward to GoWIII like nobody's business.

GoWII is so fucking hot from a production/development perspective. I mean it's a decent game on top of that too but when you look at the systems and polish it just makes me pop a Mandelbrot boner.

I liked Kratos more in GOW1.  In the sequel, he's just a EMO cocksucker who's angry for the sake of being angry.

wow - Balrog and Jaffe both bailing on Sony.

Jaffe leaving Sony I never understood. I mean, he went from working on Sony exclusive games to...working on Sony exclusive games without the safety net of Sony themselves making sure the place won't go under. Unless he just stopped wanting to make GoW games or something.

and in some cases it is better off

i'd love to know how GOW is going to be better off without Barlog....

or do the people at GAF posting this have knowledge of who is going to head up the project and know they are going to be better than someone with PROVEN ability?

lol - who am i kidding? it'll be the same cockmasters defending the fucking hive with their 5 combined brain cells (4 of which are actually chunks of foreskin) : dytb, falus, AltogetherAndrews, etc

Don't forget ssx, who has the inside track apparently.

Aw SSX shouldn't be lumped in with those other guys. He's at least pretty civil. :(

ha ha, those guys are the ones that I always rile up until they all call for me to be banned.  It's so easy every time.

SSX is very civil. Smarmy, but civil.

AltogetherAndrews on the other hand...often goes on these annoying fanboy offenses against 360 games (and shooters in particular) for no reason. whatever, this is so dumbbbbbbbbb. gow will be fine.

yes, i need to also shut up complaining about the GAFfots so i too can forget any of them ever existed.


You should have given me your account so that I can keep the campaign alive.  My trolls should have even more impact with your ID.

But sometimes, he pisses me off.

calling Sakaguchi a dead weight and then saying we don't need Uematsu working on FF because he is over rated.

i wonder what would he be saying if these two are still with Sony/SE.

I know but saying he isn't needed? the world doesn't revolve around his taste you know.

overall, he seems fine most of the time, and not annoying like the other posters.

He has? I could have sworn I seen him repeatedly praising FF7's score.
