Last week, Sony announced God of War III Remastered, which marks the first time a God of War game was updated for current generation graphics. Many fans were wondering if other God of War games would follow, but Sony has let all of its fans know that it is out of the remake business, at least for God of War.
“No plans for others in the franchise to bring over,” Sony Santa Monica’s Aaron Kaufman said on the PlayStation Blog in response to a fan who wondered if God of War I or II might get the remake treatment.
That being said, he is still excited for the God of War III remaster.
“Remasters often help us open the door to new players who perhaps did not play God of War 3 5 years ago, but who we can bring it to on the PlayStation 4,” he said. “People often forget, the more players we can bring into a franchise, the better for everyone. At Santa Monica Studio, we’d like as many PlayStation fans to experience our games as possible, form generation to generation.”
It’s interesting that our current average lifetime of a game lasts less than five years though. I guess remakes are a way to remind people that games exist.
