God of War: Ascension - Unchained - The Big Reveal, New Zeus Trailer, and More

GXC: "PlayStation has unveiled “The Big Reveal” for God of War: Ascension. As we reported a few weeks ago, Sony Santa Monica had something “big” to reveal – well, it’s here, and it’s not at all what anyone was expecting. "

Its nice to know this is not the only reveal for the day. The video was a nice teaser, the gameplay and graphics looks top notch. I will be playing the beta on the 13th.

ThatMiamiGuy4202d ago

Ouch. All that hype for nothing lol

SoundGamer4202d ago

As the article says, there's more info. It's not just the videos.

ThatMiamiGuy4202d ago

Hoping it's something good but it will likely be more details on the PS+ beta I'm sure.

GrahamGolden4202d ago

multiplayer is gonna fcking own !!!

Blankman854202d ago

Not a big fan of the multiplayer focus of this game.

TheHater4202d ago

I was saying the same thing until I actually played it at comic-con... Yeah, I'm actually looking forward to the multiplayer but the single player comes first :)

HarryMasonHerpderp4202d ago

I was very sceptical about the multiplayer but got a chance to play it at Eurogamer Expo and it blew me away, it was amazing.
Besides I played the single player demo too and it was just as much fun.
Nothing to complain about really it's all looking really good.
Will be pre-ordering soon.

GraveLord4202d ago

It's not multi-player focused, its just the newest addition to the game and its what they are releasing a lot of info about.

I'm glad. It lets them promote the game without spoiling the single player. Don't worry, single player is still the bread and butter of God of War. It always will be.

DigitalRaptor4201d ago (Edited 4201d ago )

Behind the scenes, they are pushing hard to get an amazing single player campaign done as well as working on a brand new innovative multiplayer.

Watch "The Big Reveal" and you'll understand why they have focused a lot on revealing multiplayer stuff over single player. Santa Monica have had a lot to prove with adding MP to a God of War game, and have wanted to show that it can be just as viable as what we all come to expect from GOW.

I am a fan of this focus because I trust that the single player will not see compromise (compare to how Naughty Dog added MP to Uncharted 2) and I want to play something different. This looks to be just that.

God Of War Tried Multiplayer Too Early

God of War's forgotten multiplayer mode was introduced nearly a decade ago, but it may have been a great addition if it was implemented now.

Ruined Ascensions story mode. Taking away the one button parry sucked.

abstractel517d ago

Not saying it was perfect but I really enjoyed it. One of the more unique MP experiences. Wouldn't mind them trying again.

Palitera517d ago

It was nuts that they actually managed to make that experience work so well.
The story might have been the weakest (story-wise) in the main series, but the MP was super fun and well done.

hotnickles516d ago

I don’t play god of war for the multiplayer so it’s always too soon in my book.

Ranking the God of War Games

Kratos has been on a rampage, killing Gods in epic battles since 2005. With each release managing to offer high-octane action, I explore each God of War title and rank every adventure from his journey to Olympus to his Norse tales of fatherhood.

I won’t rank Ragnarok just yet, although it is honestly leaving me and my wife blown away…won’t go into details right now, not done as I assume others aren’t either, maybe some of you are, idk haha.

But here’s how I rank them

5. God of War 3
4. God of War Ascension.
3. God of War 1.
2. God of War 2.
1. God of War 2018.

MrNinosan528d ago

My same ranking exactly, with Ragnarök at #1.

ClayRules2012527d ago

Wow, that’s pretty interesting that someone has the same ranking as me haha. So, did you beat Ragnarok? I assume so with you placing it at #1

Flawlessmic528d ago

1. God of war 3
2. God of war 2018
3. God of war 2
4. God of war 1

Haven't played the others but about 30 hrs In to ragnarock now so safe to say if it keeps up it will end up being at the top of my list when I'm done.

CrimsonWing69528d ago

I will say the pacing of the original titles and the epic feel to them I feel is way better than the new one’s. Like, I could recognize and appreciate the praise God of War received, but it bores me to tears except for the pivotal moments.

However, that being said I feel Ragnarok is waaaaay better than 2018. I’m only on Ch. 6, but it’s pretty much rocked my face off from the get-go.

I’m really split between this being my GotY or Elden Ring.

robtion528d ago

I think different games in the series had different strengths but all are great. I liked the original as it was an origin story and the mechanics were fresh. The sequel added smoother gameplay. Three was just so far ahead of it's time graphically it wasn't even funny. Plus great gameplay and bosses and insane gore and nice use of sexy time. The reboot was cool but lost a lot of what I liked about the original trilogy (I don't need my games grown up, just fun). Will wait and see with ragnarok as haven't had time to play it yet.

Every God of War Game Ranked From Worst To Best

BLG writes: "God of War has evolved significantly since the first game launched in 2005. Each subsequent entry has brought something new to the series, be it new power sets, fighting styles, and in the case of the 2018 reboot, a whole new combat system. Therefore, a major component in ranking every God of War game is that game’s impact on the franchise."

2 is my all time favorite with Ascension being my least (but still worth playing). First time dealing with the colossus of rhodes as well as the scale of the steeds of time... just a great game overall.

Nacho_Z803d ago

3 is the best for me, closely followed by the reboot. The reboot lost some of the spectacular scenes in favour of deeper gameplay, 3 was jaw dropping at times. I'm hoping the next game will have the best of both.

Army_of_Darkness803d ago

Yeah 3 was my favorite as well! The Poseidon battle was amazing! Gameplay wise and graphically!

neutralgamer1992803d ago

Honestly first 2 were amazing. I really wanted Sony yo bring back David jaffe and have him do his own version of God of war reboot working in different mythology. David and Cory could make sure story made sense but I think God of war is a big enough series where multiple entries at the same time

nevin1803d ago

1. GOW 3
1. GOW 2
2. GOW: Ghost of Sparta
3. GOW 1
4. GOW: Chains of Olympus
5. GOW(2018)
6. GOW: Ascension

generic-user-name803d ago

GOW 2018 2nd from the bottom? Behind 1? Behind the 2 PSP games?

Your street cred is taking a hit today.

Muigi803d ago

1. Gow 2018
2. Gow 3
3. Gow 2
