God of War Ascension New Single Player Details

Quote :

Some brand-new details on singleplayer have been revealed.

The game is building on the God of War 3 engine. New material, shades, textures, lighting and other improvements have been made so far with the engine. Expect it to be just as epic as past God of War titles.

The game will be showing off a more human side of Kratos. We have already seen some of the background history in the psp version, this will touch more on it. This prequel will be a bit different then the PSP prequel, since it will be touching on more of Kratos ambitions and what he wants out of life.

Story takes place six months after the slaying of his family. Kratos has already made the deal with Ares and yes, he will have the Blades of Choas. Since this is before all the God of War titles, he will be less buff.

The reason why this title isn’t called God of War 4 is because the title isn’t coming after 3, which is something the team did not want people to get confused with. They wanted players to come in and start fresh with the series. Naming it four would make people believe that they would have to play God of War 1 through 3.

The cyclops that was shown off during the multiplayer is as big as Chronos from God of War 3, if not just a bit smaller.

Concerns over the Multiplayer mode have been shouted all around forums today. The team has assured that no way is the single player being dumb down. Single player has always been their “Bread and Butter” and adding multiplayer is something they are excited about

It's STILL going to be set AFTER he made the deal with Ares? Jesus... That would make the first God of War the 4th one with so many things happening in between.

David Jaffe probably never saw this coming. lol

Man, Ascension will be A-W-E-S-O-M-E-!

Though, I'd have wished they had made it set BEFORE he slays his family.

You know, so he wouldn't be a mindless douchebag :/

Then there wouldn't be much of a story, and the weapon selection would kinda suck.

Kratos gets The Blades of Chaos BEFORE he kills his family, right? He gets them from Ares for selling his soul, if I remember correctly?

Also, I'd have loved to see more of what happened in the time period where Kratos works for Ares.

They just kinda leave that part out of the games.

This game just made me buy a ps3 :truestory:

I'd like to slay his family in a God of War game. That would be awesome just completely pwning a woman and her child. Plus you know it will cause an uproar and we all know controversy creates cash.

Why not just rape them first(Sex minigame, only with screaming this time) and then slay them?
