No offense to Stig Asmussen.  He seems like a nice guy and it looks like he helped to make a great game, but his name totally sounds like either a Swedish porn star, or a dude in one of those world's strongest man competitions.  Also, is it just me, or is he a dead-ringer for Anthony Edwards?

right choice for game director btw. cory said a lot of good stuff in "road to e3" clip about him. I'm glad he's artist and not programmer or producer. sony knows how to pick'em. unlike activision. you heard who replaced west and zampella? a joke really...

Just for reference, all footage used in this interview was taken from the first 45 min of the game.

A Potential Ending for God of War 3:
Kratos stands triumphantly over the mangled corpse of Zeus, still retaining all of his rage from his journey. Then, casting a glare all about him, he turns from his foe and shouts, realizing that his desire for deicide knows no bounds.
  "Odiiiiiiiin!"
 The halls of Valhalla quake from the epic bellow, Odin looks up from his reflection in his goblet of golden mead, eyes agape, a look of sheer bewilderment crossing his weary brow.
 "Wha..wha...What???!!!What the fuck man!"

I think I may get GoW Collection.  Would be nice to play through the original 2 again.  I don't think I'd want to go back after playing 3.

I was surprised he answer the $ question.  $44 mil isn't bad at all for the profile of the game.

@CashBailey: There wasn't any bragging going on, there was Brad asking them how much it cost, and them answering how much it cost.
 
Furthermore your budget is noteworthy.  If you're allowed to spend tens of millions of dollars on your game it says something about how much confidence your publisher has in your team and your vision.  It is also a pretty easy way to identify how much polish a game is going to have in it.  Not every expensive game is great, but a lot of low-budget titles have to cut content or ship a game too early to make sure it works.  I think spending $40 million gives you the right to tell people that you spent $40 million.

I was laughing out loud at some of those sequences in the video. My brain didn't know how else to react. Probably the most pumped for a game I've ever been.

" Brad did a great job in this interview as always.  He asks things beyond "so how awesome is your game?"  I can really appreciate that.  On the other hand, none of these dudes seemed like they were prepared to answer anything about the game.  Some of the looks he got when he asked technical questions...yeah...that cracked me up. "

 Totally true.  Brad is the king of interviews not that the others are bad.  I see Jeff as being the best at video reviews, Vinny is clearly god of video editing and Ryan is the best and most eloquent writer.  GB has quite the team. "

... and Dave is the funniest, with Brad, Vinny and Dave being 3 of the best Quick Look-ers. Except never put Ryan and Brad together. Ryans efficient and Brad is just so... un-efficient shall we say :) 
 
And yep, Jeff is the video reviewer no doubt. Vinny is definitely the best as video editing and I kinda disagree with the best writer. I actually prefer Brad to Ryan. Maybe on-par? Anyway, it's opinion, just though it was an interesting post...

Maybe this is due to the Italian heritage, but if you shave the beard of  the statue I bet it would look a lot like Vinny.

They seemed to be a little unprepared  for the interview but I think asking about future planes when the game is just done is not the best type of questions. Better to focus more on the game thats here now and that we can get our hands on.

Nah, look where he got himself to. People with low selfconfidence don't end up being game designer on 44$ million  project.
