God of War Announcement Incoming

Santa Monica have teased a God of War announcement of some sort via Twitter.

[Majin-vegeta]

Just saw this.Looks interesting.

[iamnsuperman]

At least you seemed interested. I have no clue what I just watched. Seems a bit random

[fenome]

Looks like some kinda tag-team battle or something, kinda like tekken tag tournament..

[pedrof93]

Mother of god.

Can't... express... my...

Its not a new GOW for Ps4. Don't tease me like that.

[zeee]

If this is another GOW game then I don't know about you guys but I am sick of GOD OF WAR now. Seriously!? Is Sony trying to pull a Nintendo (Mario etc) or MS (Halo, Forza, Gears)?

Yes, GOD OF WAR 3 was awesome but they should have stopped there and they should give it a good 3-4 years of pure rest and come back with a bang!

EDIT: It looks like a DLC so I guess that's OK. Still, I really want to see Santa Monica and Guerilla come up with some brand new IPs!

[FATAL1TY]

God of war 4 PS4

Please Sony!!

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

@Zee

Exactly, GOW fan here, played 'em all, even played through GOW3 like 5 times, it was that good, but Ascension was just too soon and too similar, so I kind of lost interest in GOW for now... This franchise could use a hiatus and SSM could work on a new IP and it's sequel or 2 new IPs before going back to Kratos.

[kreate]

Call of duty comes out every year.
2 new god of war games came out for ps3. How can u get sick of god of war?

I expect 2 more god of war for ps4.

And expect call of duty every year.

[abzdine]

God of War PS4 with Vita remote play. Now make it happen!!
That would kick ass so bad

@bishop-br: i can't really feel the GOW fan talking! Ascension was weak compared to the others, but still a great BTA if we compare it to Dante Inferno or other BTAs in the same category.
The reason why they made it like that is that Rasmussen's team moved to another unnanounced game and another team took over. Now that unnanounced game could definitely be GOW 4 on PS4 for 2014.

I have said it b4, 2014 is the year of the 4:
- PS4
- Uncharted 4
- GOW 4

GOW4 will really be huge on PS4 i have no doubt about that and the ending of GOW3 was kind of a new beginning.

[mewhy32]

I'd say that this is going to be a PS4 game. I can't wait to see the Santa Monica team turned loose with the power of the PS4 baby!!!

[Jaces]

@Zee

Right there with ya man. They're milking GoW like they do with every franchise it seems nowadays. I'm a huge fan of GoW, but come on guys, let's get to making something else for a bit. It's seriously hard to top GoWIII imo, so everything after is going to feel less epic.

[strifeblade]

please not another god of war game i have been doing the same combos with the chains for the last 7 games. Please have mercy!

[LonDonE]

I LOVED GOD OF WAR 3, and the first 2 games, but ascension just felt like a filler for me, i think it would have been better to wait for god of war 4 on PS4 instead, and i hope finally they can give us a god of war game with all the usual beautiful graphics Santa Monica are known for, but this time with a free fully 3d and player controlled camera, i will admit although i feel Sony Santa Monica are some of the best camera programmers in the business, i still felt disappointed that a PS3 game had a fixed camera,which the player could not really move or change like other action games,yes i know it works well, but fixed camera angles are so PS2 era,and we should have gotten fully controllable camera's.

However since the games frame rate most times ran at a blistering speed while still looking awesome, i forgave it,that and the awesome dynamic camera programming, the swoops, the zooming in, and zooming out way far, made the game awesome.
And then we had the epic battles with the titans, how can you fault that??

One of reasons why i wasn't impressed with ascension was the drop to 30fps,and still no controllable camera, that was a let down,and the drop to 30fps from 45to60fps of the older games was not good, the control's for me instantly felt more sluggish, god of war 4 better be locked at 60fps!!!

I hope for god of war 4 on PS4 they finally give us fully 3d and fully controllable camera,i think i remember reading some where it was the most requested thing, and since Sony Santa Monica create some of the best art i have ever seen, to be able to see the art, and beautiful environments up close, and in full 3d,in all angles will be great, i see no reason why the new god of war in the future should have a fixed camera again, that would be super disappointing! lets hope!!!

[guitarded77]

Looks like mp addition of some sort. Which is fine, but my mind automatically went to "GoW for PS4"... so it ends up being a letdown.

[dcj0524]

I want a god of war on vita. Thats it.

[Skips]

^

Ascension would've actually fit the Vita better imo...

3 main games made for consoles and 3 prequel/spinoffs made for portables.

[guitarded77]

@ dcj0524

The HD collection is coming to Vita (it already has remote play with PS3 and Vita), and PS4 will have remote play with Vita for a PS4 installment. I know it's not exactly the same as a new Vita installment, but it's something. I want to see what GoW will be like on PS4 personally.

[Mounce]

Is maybe something like.....a God of War + Mortal Kombat game?.... Not like Super Smash or All Stars but Tekken/MK.

Maybe :l

[Blaze929]

another one? Really? I don't understand how after Ascension, any true God of War fan would want another...

[Majin-vegeta]

Where the f*ck is everyone getting that this is a new GOW game??It's a freaking add on for Ascension.*Facepalm* to all the people who think it's a new GOW game -_-.

[fermcr]

God of War series were good games, but it's time for Santa Monica to move on. They should give this series a rest. I would like a new IP from Santa Monica.

[andibandit]

GOW 4 + GOW 5, MAKE IT HAPPEN

[ravinash]

I would like to see what else Santa Monica can do.

[Pinkdolphinyfg]

Hopeing ready at dawn is making a vita gow. We could wait on a console gow for a couple of years.

[Skips]

Looks like more DLC...

[GamerGuy153]

To me the video just looked like a tease of concept. Perhaps a coop single player as the two characters on the left worked together to take down the right? Should be interesting.

[Sy_Wolf]

As much as I love God of War, which is at a level some have called unhealthy, I'm not sure I want another game any time soon. It's starting to feel kind of stale. Although it could just be that the combat in Ascension made me kind of mad.

[king_george]

I gotta agree. I love the series and have played every entry but id rather see god of war go on a break. Then when SM feels truly ready... BAM! God of War 4 on the ps4 baby :)

[HeavenlySnipes]

If you opened the link you'd see it was for a Mp extension to GOW Acension

[TheFallenAngel]

The combat in ascension was awesome! It was better than any other gow. The story was lackluster in ascension.

[PSVita]

What's starting to get stale? There's 3 main games and all are amazing.

[Skips]

Agreed, the main series of GOW are one of gaming's most epic masterpieces...

But Ascension should've been made on you IMO. Great game, 8 - 8.5 outta 10 for me...

But I think it would've been better received if it was made specially for you. Like the other two prequel/spin offs made for PSP...

[Concertoine]

Yeah, 3 main games but also 3 prequels (the 2 on psp and ascension) and they all play the same.
I mean not exactly the same, playing god of war 1 is different than 3, but compared to the kind of evolution in devil may cry 1-4 where entire systems and new innovations came with each installment (except dmc 5) or even just other action titles like bayonetta the god of war games dont compare as well, and i think its because the gameplay is getting too samey.

[xReDeMpTiOnx]

God of war ps4 announcement :)

[thekhurg]

Yes please.

[DEATHxTHExKIDx]

this is obviously DLC

[Skips]

Not sure why you're getting disagrees... lol Or why I got them.

They linked a vid to Ascension MP gameplay. -__-

[hemmo1986]

I think the combat needs an overhaul.

Or maybe introduce a new main character as kratos story is pretty much done and dusted.

overall though I would welcome a new god of war :)

[Darrius Cole]

Maybe they could pick up Heavenly Sword. Someone needs should.

[Sitdown]

I would love another Heavenly Sword...... but with the main character. :-/

[MattyG]

It's just Ascension DLC, nothing to see here, keep moving people.

[fenome]

I know right, they really shouldn't be teasing trivial stuff like that when the PS4 is so close to release. I had my hopes up real quick, before I saw what it was...lame..

[HammadTheBeast]

Sony Santa Monica has 2 teams. One is obviously working on PS4 games, while this one does GoW and helps Ready at Dawn with Order 1886.

[PSVita]

It's not trivial if you have the game.

[fenome]

@HammadTheBeast

Good point, wasn't thinking about that. With the next-gen launch so close, teasers just automatically put my mind in that gear..

@PSVita

That's very true, but I do own the game, I bought the collectors edition day one. I was just stating my personal opinion, I'm just not really into the multiplayer aspect of it, that's all. Don't get me wrong, they did a good job, just not my thing.
So personally, for me it is trivial, but I'm not putting it down. I'm glad that people that are enjoying the multiplayer are still getting new content. It's good to see developers stand by their products and their fanbase.

[matrixman92]

probably more multiplayer stuff...it actually looked like it could be some type of co-op. either way, not interested if thats the case

[showtimefolks]

i don't think its a new GOW because a big announcement like that will be made at e3,gamescom etc,

mots likely more dlc stuff

i love GOW but i wouldn't mind if the series is put on hold for atleast 2 years before we hear anything about a new game, but here is my thing can we have a GOW without Kratos? or how about rebooting the game in 2015 and letting david jaffe tell a new story with kratos?

[chrispseuphoria]

*sigh*

[DigitalRaptor]

Yeah that looks like Ascension's design, still.. DLC probably,

[4logpc]

Im going with DLC. Doubt they would announce a new game not at E3.

[b3ast]

nice

[PositiveEmotions]

Wow that is epic

[Benjammin25]

I'm one of the biggest GOW fans your ever likely to meet. But when and if a new god of war is announced, I would like to see a new protagonist. Maybe a guy living some time in the future who grows angry with Kratos over how he rules Olympus and vows to put an end to him. I don't know. Just something different. As much as I love Krafos, I think he's had his day.

[TheFallenAngel]

God of War 4 for PS4!!! please!!!

[nick309]

Teasing mp dlc is getting old. Doesn't look like anything for the next god of war, just ascension dlc .

[Furesis]

that's definitely a tag attack or something that you can do with you buddy. pressing R1 does it i assume because of the green thing on top of his head

[blackstrr411]

MILKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My mom makes $2456 daily milking franchises. Hahahaha.

[PunisherRevenge]

Wooooow....really? There goes the seconds of my life I'll never get back.

[GamingMachine]

maybe a dlc for gow Ascension

[spoonard]

The symbol for Omega or The End. I'd be happy if they only made one more God of War game and brought Kratos's story to an end. It really has been a great series! Probably one of the best!

[antikbaka]

his story was brought to an end in the third game. that's it, he is dead NO MORE KRATOS

[Len]

I used to get excited for God Of War....

[PS4isKing_82]

Please stop with the god of war stuff. This series along with many more need a serious break.

[Shad0wRunner]

Just more DLC for Ascension. Nothing to get hyped over.

You people saying "stop making GOW games"...jump off a cliff, already. I can guarantee you right now, if SSS announced GOW4 for PS4...this article would blow up with cheers and applause! People passing out, fainting and starting riots in the streets. LOL. That's the kind of hold Kratos has over people. Get behind it and stop your whining.

People like you, would have us waiting once every console gen for a new GOW game. I dont like people like you.

[Len]

Trust me,I wouldn't be cheering for GoW4 now.This series is like R&C,it needs to die for a few years.

[Shad0wRunner]

Why?

If SSS can do GOW4 and make it a quality game, on the same level as GOW3 if not better...find a way to continue the story of Kratos somehow or pass the torch to a new God Of War...and it would sell like crack in the hood, then whats the big deal? Why are people like you standing in the way of their cash cow? If they wanna milk it, let em. People will buy it.

I dont see the logic in wanting to wait so long. If you can have pizza every day, instead of just on weekends or special occasions...then by all means, have pizza every day. LOL.

[fenome]

@Len

Well then they need to give us some more platformers/hack&slash!!

We lost Bayonetta to Nintendo and then Kingdoms of Amalur went bankrupt. I bought Kingdoms day one too because I wanted to support the makers, a sequal to that game that wasn't so convoluted with a jump button could've been EPIC. Especially on next-gen consoles!

@Shad0wRunner

I don't wanna slice of the pie, I want the whole damn thing!
And beer, I want that too...

[feraldrgn]

This Article needs a title change.

Atleast add "Ascension" in there, so people don't get the wrong idea.

Anyway, it's [Multiplayer DLC for God of War: ASCENSION], for anyone skimming through.

[Plagasx]

Awww, I wanted a new IP from Santa Monica...

[ziggurcat]

multiplayer for this game was the worst idea.

arena brawling is worse than fighting games (i.e. street fighter, mortal kombat, tekken, etc...).

[AutoCad]

is this not milking?

[Adva]

No, it's not. They announced a DLC/expansion for Multiplayer. Blow off.

[Conquerbeard]

New God of War thing. Shocking. But, since Sony can do no wrong, I'm sure this won't get shit on like the various Mario/Halo releases.

[Adolph Fitler]

Everyone milks, if you don't milk, you don't survive in this biz. But, Sony Santa Monica don't just rest on there laurels & make sub par, dwaining quality games in this IP, everyone has been better than the next, & even though many will disagree about Ascension, I disagree, as they took the story in a new direction by disarming Kratos of his chains & godliness for some of the story.......and I will say, I am disappointed they aren't making the campaigns longer, rather than shorter, they did balance that by offering a pretty above average Powerstone style online fighting game portion...

I would love the announcement of a PS4 GOW, as there is no better hack'n'slash game for me, it is sublime in story, theme & content.....All I ask for PS4 version is for them to come up with some new gameplay ideas that are as awesome, well implemented & outside the box as the boss battle QTE are,......I mean keep those in the game for sure, as they are still just really awesome, well done additives to the gameplay, but keep adding more to make the game adapt & stay ahead of the pack.
We know the graphics, vistas, sound, & all round production is going to be of the highest caliber on the next game, but we need fresh ideas, so it doesn't become as stale as Nintendo's Mario games.

I would also love a new Ratchet & Clank game, as I hold ALL bar the last 2 of those as of the highest caliber of 3D platformers EVER. I wanna see Ratchet make a sick comeback, that makes me as giddy as I was when discovering THE VERY 1ST game on PS2.

I don't mind being milked by GOW's as I know I am always getting the tastiest, freshest, chocolate "MILK"SHAKE SSMS can possibly give me.

Being truly milked is like what Capcom do with 47 Streetfighter 4's with Super, Ultra, added to the title, & 2 new characters that should have been in the original, added to the roster. That is what I consider milking, & these SF4 multiple fan rip off should never be green lighted by Capcom.

[Max-Zorin]

Most likely a prequel because there is nothing left. Kratos killed every living thing.

[porkChop]

I'm only interested if it's a Vita spin-off. It's way too soon for another main title, and Ascension was a big disappointment so they better take their time with the next main title.

[DG90]

Hope this isn't a mode we have to pay for.. Look pretty kool though!! And people say they want a new IP from Sony Santa Monica.. Do a bit of reaserch you'll see they have one & its coming out on PS4.

P.s
Why are people saying God Of War is getting milked? Two games on PS3 & how long the ps3 has been out.. talk about milking an IP look at COD look at ips on other home consoles that have been milked near enough dry.. Only Sony ip id say that has been milked is R&C.. and if you mean milking because of the DLC.. Well multiplayer games tend to have DLC so stop moaning & just enjoy the game.

[tarbis]

It looks like a tag move update for Ascension.

[AzureskyZ]

I love the series but i would like to see santa monica focus something other than god of war--- their are plenty of solid studios to take the series into new direction-- sony bend, ready at dawn comes to mind-- i would like to see something fresh, something new from these guys-- they are simply too talented to just be making god of war yearly---

[jakmckratos]

if it aint GOW4 or GOW Vita I really don't care...Ascension was a disappointment of a GoW game...

[ziggurcat]

i wouldn't say that.

why was it a disappointment?

@ zpoc below:

that's all subjective. i played through that game a few times, never experienced any significant bugs, apart from a few graphical anomalies.

GOW3 was really amazing, and i do agree that ascension wasn't *as good*, but it was still a pretty enjoyable game, imo, and far from a disappointment.

[zpoc]

because it felt like a step back from god of war 3 instead of a step forward? it was sloppily put together, buggy, poorly written and utterly inessential. GOW3 was one of my favorite games of this gen, ascension had some great moments but it's nowhere near as good a game in my opinion.

[zpoc]

hoping for a vita game. i was pretty disappointed with ascension, but a vita release would be welcome enough that i'd give them a second chance. that, and a new director. whoever that dumbass was that helmed ascension fucked up pretty good in my opinion.

[TrickyMic]

how is this an article? someone took a screenshot of twitter and posted it. no effort was made to actually write something up? is this where we are going with article writing?

[mii-gamer]

talk about milking

[antikbaka]

just let it die...stop milking him

[MorfiTM]

My wish would be a real new GOW for PS VITA. Yes, we can play chain of olympus and ghost of sparta from PSP, Yes we will have GOW Collection HD, but really? I played those on my PSP, PS2 and PS3. Now i want a real GoW VITA.

[TheGrimReaper0011]

Im sorry
As much as I luv GOW, I am getting sick of them
I hope it's DLC or something
Cause I want a tallented studio like Santa Monica make a new IP, I know you can do this!
Cause the thing is, if they make a new GOW game, it'll still be fun, but just same old, same old
Same goes for sucker punch
I want one more Infamous game, then, I'm kinda done
I just hope the PS4 will bring many more new IP's to the table

[Tontus]

A lot of heat for multiplayer DLC. I wish we got some single player DLC, they should have made Polythemus & Stheno into epic single player bosses to help with the pacing and have some more cinematics to add to the story.

I can't wait for their new IP, they need to take their sweet time with God of War IV and make sure it's the best in the series and hopefully it can steal GoW3's record as the most acclaimed + bestselling game in the genre of all time.

[Son_Lee]

Just let this series die already.

[KingDon]

If it is a new PS4 game then cool. If it is a Vita game then not so cool.

[Chrisgamerguy]

Gow 4 on ps4!

[mt]

I don't think it is related to god of war 4 whatsoever the video is screaming GOW:A DLC.

[windblowsagain]

SM Should make a GOW type game, that is open world. With the talent at that studio it could be alot better then the boring games, skyrim, oborion.

[NeloAnjelo]

Vita?

[danpan11]

Imagine a new vita title...

Imagine all the people!.... Living life in peace... wooohoooo hooooou

[Wise_potato]

Im so excited about Gow 4 can't wait

[Orionsangel]

The ending of GOW3 was so well done with such an epic build up and wrapped up the story up so nicely. It would be a shame if they continued the story.

[skept3k]

I really wish they were working on a different IP, new or old. Im just not a big fan of God of War, and I love almost every other Sony first party games.

[InTheZoneAC]

i felt that way about GoW before I played it, about a month before 2 came out, but I'm glad I picked it up.........

[Orionsangel]

What's next? God of War, the high school years and then the pre-school years? Maybe not a prequel. Maybe, Son of Kratos!

[InTheZoneAC]

there are 2 gow's for ps2
2 for psp
and 2 for ps3

how are people sick of this series?

unlike some franchises that have 5 for one generation....

I love GoW, although I still have Ascension in the wrapper since gamestop had the buy ascension get the saga for free.

I'm busy playing other addicting games....

[Tzuno]

more hd remakes?

[latinillusion81]

I feel like it's going to be a PS vita title just like they had the website for ghost of Sparta after God of war 3 came out.

[Sevir]

Ugh... I'm tired of the franchise, GOW3 was the bang it should have stayed out on... There was no need for ascension especially when we knew what happened... And between this all we've had re releases of God of War as a market cash in, First the hd collections then the PSP Hd collections and then they were re released in one huge package along with Ascension! >_< Great it's a mega frenchise but Lord let Kratos Rest. The series is suffering from over saturation and fatigue...

GOW3 was turned up to 11, Ascension never did anything more spectacular than GOW3... All the more why GOW3 performed better commercially.

This is just DLC, but next E3 I don't want Stig get on Stage and announce a PS4 GOW or a Vita one for that matter. Let The bald angry guy rest for a generation and come back with something new and fresh.

[ZombieGamerMan]

Santa Monica please just stop with God of War go do something else, make Heavenly Sword 2 if you really want to make another hack & slasher that badly or do what Naughty Dog did and make a new IP.

[devilhunterx]

"Death is in my blood... Fate has brought me here
I hope for nothing, I fear nothing"

[Goro]

It was just a Co-op waepons pack DLC for GOW Ascension

[1nsomniac]

... Is this not just a video of the free 1vs1 battle mode add-on mode for GoW Ascension that they said was released last week??
