God of War 2 director wants to make a Wii game

Cory Barlog, director of God of War 2, has answered some emails on his official blog. This is his response when asked if he would like to make a game for the Wii.

YES! Even though I was less than impressed with my Wii, as well as a lot fo the games I have played, I would love to make a game on this system. I think there is a lot to be done with it. Plus…it’s like a BILLION times cheaper to make a Wii game versus a 360 or PS3 game…which is good. Making a 40 or 50 million dollar game is cool, I love making big games don’t get me wrong, but you have soooo many more masters with their hands in the creative pot when that kind of money is getting thrown around. Hopefully when the game industry becomes more comfortable with those budget numbers things will get better. I mean, we were just getting used to 20-30 million when the next gen came around and now big games are costing double. I heard MGS4 costs 70 million. Which actually sounds ludicrous to me, but in a way it doesn’t if you factor int he MGS4 and MGS online…and the tons of cinematics and long development time…it could get up to that. But what do I know?

Yes it’s true, he did have some rather unpleasant things to say about the Wii in the past. But that’s exactly what it is…the past. If he wants to make a Wii game, I’ll welcome it!
