Maximus Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Sony Computer Entertainment America Santa Monica hiring online programmers to craft leaderboards and matchmaking. Single-player-only games are an increasingly rare breed, with only a few marquee series lacking a multiplayer component. These include the Elder Scrolls and Fallout from Bethesda Softworks, BioWare's Mass Effect and Dragon Age, and Sony's God of War. Now, though, it looks like the latter franchise may be getting a multiplayer component. Sony Computer Entertainment America Santa Monica is currently hiring a senior online programmer to "join the God of War team!" Applicants must have experience "designing and implementing systems and tools to support networking needs (such as in-game communication, client-server, matchmaking, [and] leaderboards)." (Emphasis added.) That latter part of the ad makes it sound like SCEA Santa Monica's next project will support online multiplayer in some form or another. (SCEA reps had not commented on the matter as of press time.) However, there is no guarantee that the studio's next game will be an entry in the God of War series, although the finale of God of War III did leave open the possibility for a sequel.

Django_3101 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 will be more on the lines of mortal kombat kind of series.. Personally speaking, this game must be an SP and nothing but SP. MP might jeopardize its reputation. If they are coming up with a next game, they must concentrate more on making a good story instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Boss Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I am guessing it will be a 2 player online co-op. I expect it to be in Uncharted 3 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 The only way it could turn out good is if they use it for User Generated Content like Infamous 2 or LBP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HundredProofSam Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Well, could be that they said "God of War team" to refer to Santa Monica. Doesn't necessarily mean that the game they're hiring for is God of War. I really can't see multi-player being worked into a God of War, unless they have campaign co-op. Then again, they wouldn't really need leaderboards for that. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
