Cory Barlog's comments about the lack of story in Super Mario Galaxy incensed quite a few of you, but Barlog isn't all about criticism when it comes to the Wii. In fact, the God of War II director would even like to make a Wii game one day. Much of the appeal in making a Wii game, according to Barlog, is that it's as cheap as chips (at least in comparison to the console's current-gen counterparts). Less money at stake also means less hands in the pot, and as a result, more creative freedom. Who knows if a Barlog game on the Wii will ever come to pass (we wouldn't necessarily count on it), but saying, "I would love to make a game on this system" -- well, that's always a good sign.

Lets hope we get something from the man. Be sweet to get a AAA game. Im sure its bound to happen. Too many people own the wii n there has to be a market that just hasnt been treated to hot AAA titles that arent mario.

Why is it surprising that an AAA developer wants to make Wii games?
It's as plain as day that he just wants to cash in on the Wii craze. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the first few Wii games from his studio end up being half-assed ports.
Good third party games on the Wii will be few and far between until developers stop being lazy.

Yeah.
It's nice to see that the people who bash Wii are the first to offer to make money from it.
God of War 2 wasn't too great, IMO but I'm glad to see he changed his mind about designing games for a "toy".

I wasn't much of a fan of God Of War(i played the first one).
We'll probably see some sort of port of the first 2 with some added waggle....

If they both hadn't been made by Sony Computer Entertainment America
I would expect him to almost go the Jaffe route, as predicted, and make something unique like Calling All Cars which will get trashed by the blogosphere, and then bitch about it
Or we could be cautiously optimistic

This loser wants to kill two birds with one stone by 1) fixing his relationship with Nintendo fans and 2) make all the money his greedy heart desires all with a single cheap rip-off "game".
Prove me wrong, Barlog, BY MAKING A GREAT GAME and then maybe I'll buy your next one. . . .
