Santa Monica only has two teams? This gen alone they worked on Warhawk, Twisted Metal, Starhawk, Sorcery, God of War III, a bunch of PSN games like Fat Princess, Flower, Journey, and are currently known to be working on PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale and God of War: Ascension. Would surprise me if they only have two teams.
I think they have 2 main development teams, and then another, smaller group that lends assistance to other devs. There's probably some flow of employees between all the groups or something though.

I think their assistance team is divided up as well. Just saying this because during the build up for Twisted Metal I constantly saw interviews with the same few people from Santa Monica and for Starhawk a different group of the same people at Santa Monica over and over again. I don't really know though.

The only games you mentioned that were actually made by SSM are God of War 3 and Ascension
Would like to know this as well.
They have said nothing. Really weird that that stupid teaser was hyped more than this supposed gameplay reveal.
I'm expecting a relatively short (~1-3 minute) video that gets mass distributed to gaming sites on Monday immediately after the reveal, with the big show off of the game at E3.
Something like the Halo 4 video (a few short clips interspersed in what is mostly developers talking) also seems plausible.
B team lol Yeah Sony gave one of their biggest IPs to some B team.
(most) Senior members are working on a new IP. That is well known by now.
Awesome
Pretty much the reason why I'm not expecting much from today.
We goign to get gameplay,previews and screehshots.
Its embargo thats why people aren't saying much.

Santa Monica works on a ton of games. They co-developed Warhawk with Incognito, co-developed Twisted Metal with Eat, Sleep, Play, co-developed Starhawk with Lightbox Interactive, and they're co-developing All Stars Battle Royale with Superbot. If you want, here is a full link of games they either developed all by themselves or assisted in development.

Only games on that list that they don't directly develop are the PixelJunk games. Surprised so many people think all they do is God of War. And over the years every time a job listing comes up at Sony Santa Monica for "vehicular combat experience" or "shooter experience" and all that stuff they always seem to forget the other games they play a hand in developing.
Mostly true, except that the embargo is now at 2PM.

This is really the first thing they are unveiling for a God of War game? 4 player multiplayer?

Hmmm.
I need to see it of course. I'm just not sure how well the power that GoW gameplay conveys would translate to competitive MP. Although finishers could be great. I'm not much of an MP fan anyway so don't mind me. I was actually hoping for co-op. I should have elaborated a bit more in that post since I realized that's one of the knee jerk responses I hate as well. My bad.

"MP? That's not gonna work."
"I hope the SP won't suffer."
Just wait and see...

I guess they're saving the single player stuff for E3.
