Rumor: PS4 Version of God of War Ascension Incoming

It may not be a whole new God of War title, but according to industry insider Shinobi602, who is normally very accurate with what his sources tell him about upcoming games, God of War Ascension is making a move to the next generation with a PlayStation 4 Edition.

[XiSasukeUchiha]

Games, bring on the games! GOW for PS4 Cool!

@Naruto

I'm just joking, GOW ancension is good but a PS4 is unnecessary I agree on that Naruto (Sasuke tone)

[XiNarutoUzumaki]

I hope this is a lie Sasuke. This is really unnecessary. Not to mention this was the worst entry in the God of War series. It was still an enjoyable game, and I loved it. But, this doesn't need a PS4 port...

[iamnsuperman]

I can see it happening but I don't think it will be a big announcement. I can see Sony, at E3, coming out and saying these games will be ported to the PS4 (their most recent games; especially the ones with sequels in the works)

[xHeavYx]

If there was any GOW remake I'd like to see on PS4 it would be GOW3. I agree with the people above though, an Ascension remake is not necessary

[joab777]

Unless they add another act, maybe something really cool. I will take it as long as it is a holdover.

Its one remake I never played so I cant hate it.

[gaffyh]

Ascension is good, but it is an unnecessary GOW game imo, and this news would perhaps be one of the most pointless announcements ever, because it wasn't critically acclaimed when it came out.

[guitarded77]

The "worst entry" in the GoW series is still better than most games out there. Ascension was pretty damn good IMO. Yeah, maybe not GoW2 good, but anyone who thinks it sucks is a moron.

As for PS3 games on PS4, it's a good way for devs to get their feet wet with the tech, while working on a new game. I don't necessarily think Ascension demands a PS4 upgrade since PS Now can get the game to PS4 without all the re-devving.

[Sevir]

Please can we let Kratos sleep, We really DONT need another one for about 6 years, Ascension wasn't all that, and the franchise is overstating its welcome... Genre fatigue is in with this IP. I'd love a New IP from the Core Team at SSM. This just got me irritated.

[I_am_Batman]

It was the worst quality wise at release as it had some bugs (like the audio issues) as opposed to the other entries in the series which were really polished games. After those issues got patched it's pretty much on par with the other games imo. I really liked the new combat system and the puzzles were the best in the franchise imo. A major downside for me was the final boss fight. It was the second worst final boss fight in the series after GoS for me personally.

Overall I really enjoyed the game but I wouldn't buy it again as I already own it for PS3. I'd much rather see a new GoW developed from the ground up for PS4.

[morganfell]

Unnecessary? Think about all the people that just found their way to PlaySation and would like to play a GOW game on their PS4. In addition the MP is a blast. So while it may not be necessary for you, a blanket statement that it is not needed...is not needed.

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Why choose the worst game in the enite series for a remake on PS4 instead of a new revolutionary game? Very Stupid.

[DragonKnight]

"I'm all for it, it's great for all the people who didn't get a chance to play it on PS3.. blah blah blah more complacency."

Of course this B.S. is true. This gen is turning out to be the remake gen of games that aren't even more than a gen old. I mean who cares about coming up with new ideas for games when you can let indies coast you along between HD touch ups. They aren't even remasters for goodness sake. The games are already in frickin' HD.

[Omegasyde]

This was the only god of war game I did not finish.
If it came out BEFORE God of war 3, it would of been judged as harshly.

Santa Monica should of made a heavenly sword 2 sequel instead with my favorite red head.

[DragonKnight]

Too late to edit my comment. Complacency was not the word I wanted to use.

[N4Flamers]

I agree with heavy. Their time would be better served remaking GOW3. It was a way better game without lackluster multi-player. I wouldnt get it unless they made some serious upgrades though. I didn't buy a ps4 to rebuy the same games I own.
This tactic doesn't even give new people incentive to buy a ps4 because they can get a ps3 and buy these games cheaper.
I'd like to see new games or if you're going to rehash give a price reduction, or some new content.

[guitarded77]

Can we all settle down with the "people who didn't get to play it last gen" argument?

PS Now will be the vehicle for playing last gen games on this gen, so the remakes should be saved for the best of the best like The Last of Us and others.

[hellzsupernova]

Off topic do you guys know each other? lol

On topic this is the worst GOW please leave it be. Make a enw one we all know you are working on it after cancelling Stigs game

[CarlosX360]

I thought GOW: Ascension was good, not bad. Just not, ya know... GOW3-caliber.

[MazzingerZ]

I haven't played it so I'm happy if this happens as, it's in my must-play list on PS3 before moving on later this year to PS4

[ZodTheRipper]

"I can see Sony, at E3, coming out and saying these games will be ported to the PS4"

This would actually be pretty poor from Sony. Please take note Yoshida, we don't want this. Next gen is about next gen, not last gen. TLOU is fine because it's the best game ever made, even Journey would be fine ...but don't port over mediocre games just to have them. GoW3 would be more acceptable than this (even though I enjoyed Ascension for a few weeks online, the MP was much better than the SP)

[morganfell]

There are only two GOW titles that with minor asset work would accent the graphical prowess of the PS4. GOW3 and GOWA. Since many players on the PS4 will be playing their first GOW title, providing the GOW3 up front as their first experience would do the most damage to the secrets and surprises of the first two titles as well as the RAD games.

In addition, GOWA required far less coding to get it up and running on the PS4 versus the PS2 or PSP games despite their having been brought to the PS3.

And a new gen GOW1 would have required an entire dev to completely build the game from the ground up. GOWA does not.

GOWA also contains MP. From most perspectives it was simply the smartest move to make.

[candy_mafia]

If this is remotely true, I hope it's not...

Then why Ascension, when GOW III is way better? ;/

[ginsunuva]

Because it sold most poorly out of all the GoW games.

[Destrania]

Good God I would love to see GoW 3 remastered for PS4. That game still blows me away.

[Salooh]

Didn't buy it so i wouldn't mind if it come in summer where there are few games. However , it's better if we get a real next gen god of war game. :)

[Magicite]

Hope its not true, I just bought it for my PS3..

[Palitera]

Enjoy it. It might be "the worst" God of War, but it is still an awesome game. The controls and the combat system are marvelous!

[OrangePowerz]

I can see the point for ME, TR, TLoU and similar games for people who didn't play those franchises before or who switched to the PS4 over. GoW:A makes a bit less sense since it is a game in the middle of the series.

[I_am_Batman]

Well chronologically it's right in the beginning of the series but I still agree with you. If anything they should port the whole franchise. I don't mind them doing these remakes as it doesn't require a lot of man-power/time in comparison to developing a new game from the ground up even though I wouldn't buy them on PS4 when I already own the PS3 copy unless I can get it really cheap.

[showtimefolks]

i would play the whole GOW collection again if released on ps4

[dale_denton]

God of War 3 and Ascension Definitive versions on PS4 for $60 i'd buy it.

[Jazz4108]

Yawn, this series needs put away for a few years. New ip's would really be appreciated by both micro and sony this e3.

[killzone619]

They need to fix the multiplayer!

it was awesome at the start but now its a unbalanced mess.

[xtremeimport]

Way too many remakes coming out.

Yes ps4/xb1 gamers want games to play, but spend the time and resources on new games.

[antikbaka]

just let Cratos DIE finally

[CrazedFiend]

Why?

We don't need any more of these remakes.
Is it THAT hard to make NEW games this generation?

[lelo]

"Rumor: PS4 Version of God of War Ascension Incoming"

Please NO. Enough with these enhanced PS4 versions of PS3 games. I want new games...

[Mikelarry]

I aint complaining but it would have been better if it was god of war 3 or compilation of god of war 3 and ascension

[ABizzel1]

This. It should be GOW 3 + Ascension.

[ginsunuva]

Why? We just played GoWIII 4 years ago.

[ceedubya9]

I wouldn't mind both together, to be honest

[Blaze929]

like i said, not having backwards compatibility this generation, following the biggest generation library of gaming - was a business move. Not technical.

[nick309]

I would prefer a new title , why replay games you already beaten if you can play improved sequels? Waste of money

[Abriael]

Well, if the other rumor from today is to be believed we're getting that too, but it'll be late 2015

[pwnsause_returns]

I haven't bought ascension yet. Yes, I'm dumb. If this is true, then great.

[Anon1974]

I'm a fan of the series but skipped over Ascension for whatever reason. For sure I'd pick this up on my PS4 if it was made available.

[pwnsause_returns]

For me I guess it had to do with the fact that

-PS4 was announced at that point, put my money down on it

-busy semester

-didnt have time to play on PS3

During the summer though, i bought TLOU, i mean, i was not going to miss out on that, especially since it was getting epic reviews.

havent even beyond though

[Omegasyde]

Acension story was really slow. I mean if you played God of WAR 1, and remember the flashback then you have good understanding how Ares screwed over Kratos and why he wants revenge.

The multiplayer was fun at first, but then you would be put in auto-matches with people with best powers/gear than you and you would get killed in one swipe. There were only like 5 maps too, which didn't many much sense since they were so tiny.

To me the multi felt shoe-horned in.

[HurtfulTimez]

Ive played it and still have it and if it comes to ps4 i will buy it again for sure

[ger2396]

There are many gamers that made the jump to the ps4. This gives them the chance to play games from last gen.

[cervantes99]

Not a waste of money if you have never played it. Think outside your little box.

Besides did every PS3 owner buy GOW:A? Answer: No

So, maybe many never got to it because of game backlog, money, etc. This gives another chance to play the definitive version.

[ado908]

But that's the thing tho. If they really wanted to play this game they would have just bought it on the PS3, you can get it off amazon for less than 20 bucks...So I highly doubt those same owners will go ballistic over buying it on PS4 if they already haven't done so.

[nick309]

Thats something else (:

[XiNarutoUzumaki]

For the love of god Dualshockers, stop posting rumors...

[Abriael]

You do undersatand that this is "N4G: Hottest Game News & Rumors?"

[Wingsfan24]

Actually that's the subtitle of the site. The real name of the site is News 4 Gamers.

[HappyWithOneBubble]

Abriael no disrespect but you need to take a break lol. You post like 30 articles daily.

Ok for real though I know you work for the site so you get paid for hits right. Keep doing your thing man.

[Riderz1337]

Dude...There's an entire section of the site dedicated to rumours...lol

[candy_mafia]

Abriael can post whatever get's approved!

I don't get why you just don't skip the article?

Easier and quicker than commenting about an article you clearly don't see as relevant or worthwhile...no?

[gameon1985]

Got damn, how many remakes are sony going to do? I bet if this was Microsoft with all these remakes coming out they would be accused of milking.

[ats1992]

Exactly only Microsoft and nintendo milks games in sony fanboys eyes to them sony can do no wrong.

[MysticStrummer]

Yawn.

I'm a confirmed Sony fanboy and my reaction to the title was "This is really getting to be ridiculous".

[GameDev1]

Halo Anniversary and this is a rumour

[aceitman]

@gameon1985, ms does have some remakes in the making halo is one of them , and just remember these remakes are for the true fans of the series and the newcomers to playstation brand and the ones who skipped ps3 .

[Software_Lover]

A halo remake from 2 gens ago not 1-2 years ago.

[ats1992]

Halo 2 came out 10 years ago not 1-2 years ago like GOW Acension and the last of us.

[scott182]

^
MS hasn't had any good major exclusives come out 1-2 years ago, so there is nothing to port even if they wanted to.

not all Sony fans want a ton of remakes. TLoU was the best game of last gen so I more than welcome it, but I don't want it to become a trend.

[ats1992]

@ Scott182

If you sony fans continue to support it by buying the last of us remake for full price sony will continue to do it. It just baffles me how people bashed square enix for doing a definitive edition for tomb raider but sony gets praised for it. People need to understand this is not okay.

[MysticStrummer]

@ats - I look forward to your proof that the people who were doing the bashing then are the same ones doing the praising now.

I've got lots of time, so I'll wait...

[scott182]

ats^

I think it is more than ok depending on the product. Tomb Raider re mastered was fantastic and TLoU at 1080p/60fps will be great for anyone who enjoyed it and wants to experience it again or those that haven't played it.

If people want to buy something who's to say it is wrong and there is no value in it for them? I personally would not buy GOW re mastered and think it is a waste of time to port it, but I don't speak for everyone, some may really want it and be glad to buy it. Look at all the movies that get re mastered from DVD to Blu Ray... I don't want them all or feel they are all necessary, but others do.

[Omegasyde]

@ats1992

You generalize way too much. You must be fun at parties.

I am fine with remake/remasters as long as they are actually a better version AND ARE NOT full price.

IMHO, they should of "remastered" either heavenly sword or God of War 3. Deadnation looked the damn same from the ps3 version.

[DragonKnight]

True fans? True fans have the game already and have beaten it to death. These remakes are for suckers who care more about graphics than anything else. It's frickin' pathetic. At least with Halo 2 that game has some years behind it, TLOU won't be a year old until June and its remaster is scheduled for a frickin' Summer 2014 release. Just frickin' pathetic.

[Majin-vegeta]

They've only done "ONE" HD remake and that isn't even out yet .So I don;t know where you got this "REMAKES" idea from.Sometimes it helps to do research instead of spouting BS cuz it makes you look less like a fool.

[ginsunuva]

Sony fanboy here.

I accuse Sony of milking big time now.

[Agent_hitman]

That's why I can't blame anyone if they say that this Generation is the generation of Remakes and HD retouch lol.. This is getting out of hand trying to milk more moneys to it's consumers...

*facepalm*

[DEATHxTHExKIDx]

I didnt play this one yet but it's like 20$ I wouldnt pay for full price for it on PS4.

[ziggurcat]

i'd much rather have a *new* GOW than another one of these last gen ports.

[Software_Lover]

I agree

[Riderz1337]

Why not both? Remasters don't take long to make. You think they're not developing a God of War 4 as we speak?

[darkstar18]

yawn...

[Omegasyde]

How the heck are they going to sequel God of War 3?

SPOILER

Kratos pretty much kills all the remaining gods/titans and the world ends.

Where do you go from there?

[Riderz1337]

Meh. If it's like 40$ it will be worth it...60$ is too much for this game.

I'd buy GoW III 1080P 60 FPS for 60$ though! GoW III is awesome

[jakmckratos]

No. GoW4 please. Set it in Egypt please and thank you.

[SharnOfTheDEAD]

I'd like to see Kratos vs Xerxes and his Persian army.

[jakmckratos]

Would love to see Kratos rip into a couple crocodile based demons. David Jaffe's original plan for Kratos was just for him to go to mythology to mythology murdering the opressive gods that just tried to control everything and being a beacon of hope and symbol of death where ever he went.

Add in the fact there's a shitton of interesting gods/monsters in Egyptian myth it's a no brainer to go here. Aztec would be sick too...Norse would be okay but the locale would be too similar to the original games.

Seeing that Kratos seemingly plunges into the chaotic sea at the end of GOW3's credits and Egypt is just across the way from Greece it seems more likely he washes up on the shore of the Nile somewhere and meets the Egyptian pantheon...plus there's fighting mummy's too...with those cool sickle swords.

[SpadeX]

Persia is not in Egypt..
Also it'd probably be a PoP clone if its going to be set in Persia since both franchises are in the exact same genre.

[SharnOfTheDEAD]

I am aware that Persia isn't in Egypt, just saying what I'd like to see Kratos kill next

[TheRealHeisenberg]

Hope they offer this on PS+ otherwise I'll pass.

[ginsunuva]

The whole point of this is to make more easy $$$.

Why would they put it on PS+?

[TheRealHeisenberg]

Well duh, remakes are not much more than a money grab. Sony can charge whatever they like and they should. I just won't be playing this unless it is offered on PS+.

[Omegasyde]

Put core game on PS+ for "free"

Sell DLC for core game. Think free to play, except its actually free to play and not pay to play.

[LordMaim]

I didn't even want God of War Ascension for the PS3. Just do a GoW IV already and get on with it.

[HappyWithOneBubble]

Ascension wasn't bad. I liked it but I don't want to play it over again even if the graphics are improved on PS4. I actually would prefer they remake Ghost of Sparta for PS4 because to me it's the best prequal. If not a new GOW would be nice and as much as I like GOW I wish it will end soon because the story is over and milking it with prequels is ruining the series.

[SharnOfTheDEAD]

Not fussed about Ascension but GOD of War 3 for sure, or both, they can always do both,

[Plagasx]

The remasters are getting out of hand now..

[ToastyMcNibbles]

Theres only one reason I am excited about this. Multiplayer. I really enjoyed the multiplayer in Ascension and would love for PS4 players to enjoy it like I did.

[BlakHavoc]

O please no, I wouldn't not be excited for this at all. Ascension was good but not up to the level of the other titles. And to be honest ANOTHER port would suck, I wonder if this is the GoW title that's supposed to show up at E3. I hope not....

[ceedubya9]

God of War series has to be the most milked series I've ever seen. I'll still probably double-dip on this though, lol

[BcozoftheImplication]

No that would be the halo series!! lol meh...

[ceedubya9]

Oh yeah, that series is getting milked too! Still buying them, too.I guess I'm part of the problem!

[Omegasyde]

Technically - Mario world/kart/paint/golf/party/te nnis/basketball/beats/etc.

Mario is king of lactose.

[bondsmx]

4 full titles on consoles, 2 on handheld ( I think). No dlc, no expansions, no microtransactions.. (Until the last one I think).
All of this over how many years, like 12? How is that milking the series?

[ceedubya9]

mostly in how many times those same titles are being released. The original trilogy of games have been released and re-released a number of times in a couple of collections. Handheld games have been released a few times. Vita just got a collection of the older games too. Now Ascension might get a re-release. To me, they are milking a handful of games for everything they are worth. I'm not complaining of course. I'm usually there buying them each and every time. Probably will for Ascension too.

[NBT91]

Because the series has also had multiple re-releases / collector editions, including Sony just this week released God of War 1 and 2 HD on Vita. Asking fans to buy the games again for the... Third or fourth time is that now?

I'm a fan of the series, I loved 1-3 and even got the platinum trophy for 3 (one of the few games I've really wanted to get everything out of it) but dude, the series is most definitely "milked" if any series ever was.

And aside from that, it's yet another PS3 port. Nobody bought a PS4 to play PS3 games on it. And you could say it's for people who missed it last time, I get that but then they might as well save money and buy a cheap(ish) 2nd hand PS3.
HD collections last gen were actually doing something but just releasing games that have literally released within a year or two just because there is no other PS4 games coming out is just a bit silly IMO.

[jetlian]

Like others said 3 collections and 7 major games all in 8 years time plus a cell phone game

[Josh101]

Seriously? I would have thought Mario bros. would be the most milked franchise. Seriously, there's like 20 of them.

[mike32UK]

If you factor in the kart spin offs and such, there's easily more than 20 Mario games. EASILY!

[ceedubya9]

I was definitely exaggerating . Plenty of other series have absolutely been milked more. I obviously should have worded that differently

[Delsin_Rowe]

You mean COD and Assasisin Creed.

[TheDarpaChief]

Tlou was fine. Not ascension. Dont turn into the portstation 4 for gods sake

[BcozoftheImplication]

I hope this isn't true i love gow its easily one of my favourite series of all time but there's no need for this at all i would have easily preferred gow 3 on the ps4 for me that was the best in the series!! Meh...

[weirdo]

god of war on ps4 is gonna drop jaws. total eye candy!

[LemonSlice]

Why?
Hope its not true

[HurtfulTimez]

you hope that the porting of a game being made for people to play who did not get the chance to play it is not true?

Why?

Gamers really do need to STFU complaining about what they should get all the time because we are the ones ruining this industry with the constant bitching and complaining about games/companies/developers.

[blackstrr411]

LooooooL. Ps4- remastered games console. I was hoping for gow 4. Platinumed 3

[towelie1288]

another remake ...........great..... i will pass if true

[nevin1]

Ha

[BattleN]

Had Gears of war 4 been on PS4 I wouldn't need an Xbone :(

[BattleReach]

Bundle it with Gran Turismo 6 or Beyond Two Souls and we'll talk.

[Master-H]

If this is true it is not needed imo, and Sony would be going overboard with the remasters. It's the worst game in the series, I'd rather see a new GOW game made by the A team or a whole new IP, or at the very least they could bundle it with GOW III and even then i personally won't buy it because GOW III is beautiful as it is it doesn't need a graphics upgrade.

TLOU was a masterpiece so it deserves a remaster, especially since there are a lot of Ps4 owners that didn't have ps3s, plus it has a very cool mp, and it comes with all the DLC.

Another game that deserves a remaster more than this game would be GT6, since it didn't sell as much as it could because it came out at an awkward time.

[Mikey94]

Lol so when sony said greatness awaits they just meant by porting games from last gen lol what a joke.

[candy_mafia]

Chill out...

It's currently stuck in rumourville....

[GameDev1]

Yeah the new games they are released and the games that are coming are nothing compared to a rumour

And ported games like GOW Ascension that i haven't played is greatness in my opinion while i await for the new ips

eh you see what i did there

[iSpeakTruth__]

Sony I love you, but no one wants this

[SamPao]

speak for yourself persian!

[Delsin_Rowe]

Your opinion buddy, I may actually get this since I have all the GOW games on the 3 system PS2, PSP, PSVITA, PS3

[Cyb3r]

Is this the same guy who said that there will be a FF7 remake

[Imonaboat1]

Sigh another remake seriously? i hope it isn't true

[lonelyplayer]

Remake or port?

[i8urCAKE]

another ps3 game coming to ps4.Too many companies with too much milking.

[SamPao]

loved the Multiplayer, I would love to play it on ps4 again!

[Soldierone]

I want to know how well these look and play. I finally got to try Tomb Raider and hardly noticed a difference at all. supposedly her hair was more dynamic? Yet at the beginning when she is hanging upside down it still stuck to her shoulders.....

Sure frames and whatever were pushed up, but it wasn't worth 60 bucks just to see that. I went back to my PS3 version to finish it.

I just hope TLoU, and especially GTA, look better in noticeable ways. I could see GTA getting a big boost.

[azure1990]

If you're going to port a game at least make it the first one. Because ya know people who jumped to the ps4 would prefer the first god of war

[NBT91]

Ascension is the first game chronologically though.

[jcnba28]

This is now just getting ridiculous.

"Next gen" = "remastering" last gen games.

[Tedakin]

Oh boy, more updates of games we already beat a year ago. This time, the worst God of War game! Can't wait to not buy it because I already did last year.

[johny5]

It isn't for you so why comment? Go troll hate elsewhere

[johny5]

I'll get it if God of War 3 is included and it's 1080p60fps like it was original intended!

Increase the poly count and throw in some high resolution textures and I'm down!

[lonelyplayer]

I'd buy it.

[bobsmith]

i was thinking would they do this like The Last of us, it came out like 3 months before. But thatd be like xbox remaking gears of war judgement for xbox one

[Tedakin]

Yeah if they're going to remake a GOW game, or port it, Port 3... the one people liked. Nobody liked Ascension. I'm a massive GOW fan, and Ascension was a put out money grab just to milk the series. It was the Gears of War Judgement of the God of War franchise.

[TheTowelBoy]

No! SSM you have so much talent don't use it on remakes/upgrades! You deserve a new IP :(

[feraldrgn]

I'd rather play #3

But then again, I'd like either a new IP, or a sequel (ending wasn't clear).

[rivencleft]

I love all the God of War games, but all I keep reading about is 'this old gen game is coming to next gen', almost seems like that's all they're doing (I know it's not but still) I'd prefer them to work on new games, new IPs, and work on bring last-gen games to PS4 later down the road, I mean hell we JUST played most of these games not long ago, GOW Ascention, Tomb Raider, Last of Us, etc. so we don't NEED them just yet, I know I don't, like I said work on new release games right now with our young systems and bring the last-gen games later down the line after we've already got a good collection of current-gen games.

[lahariko]

Cool Im gonna buy it.. what about gow 1-2-3 for ps4!!

[Bonkerz]

This is a complete waste im sorry. Ascension is definitely the worst GOW game there is absolutely no reason to spend the money to port this game when those funds could be use to finance a new IP, a remake, or hell anything else. This is not the right direction Sony.

[ZILLA]

Now were talkin!cant wait for kratos to be next gen.sweeeeet

[Tedakin]

The only remake MS ever put out I can remember was Halo Anniversary edition TEN YEARS after the fact, and it was a massive update. These are games that are a year old being slightly bumped in resolution, put out and resold at full price. I remember back when I got ICO and Shadow of the Colossus HD for 10 bucks a piece! Those were the days.

[Skate-AK]

I would double dip. The combat took a step back but the visuals were great. That last boss battle was crazy.

[Ethereal]

Two boss battles including the last were amazing. Other aspects were definitely a step backwards.

[Father__Merrin]

no no and NO
yes if it's a budget price, nobody can argue against an upgraded version IF it comes in cheap

that said I've never played tomb raider and this week got the definitive ps4 version, what an excellent game it is

[GamersHeaven]

I hope not GOW Ascension wasn't needed in the first place never mind a remastered version.

[jay2]

Oh f*** off Sony, stop making ports and bring us new games.

[Ethereal]

I think there is plenty of new stuff coming but I agree with the ports. Let's move on to new stuff.

[king_george]

If it does happen i dont think it should be stand alone. It should be part of a ps4 version of The God of War Collection

[the worst]

hell yeah i want that

[Ethereal]

Just beat it on PS3. It's was good but I do have several grips with the game. Not nearly as good as other entries of the series. This does not need to happen. Focus on new projects and bring a true sequel to GOW3 in the future.

[Elda]

It's not needed for the PS4,all fans bought it on the PS3 already,Sony would be wasting their time knowing not that many would buy it.

[lefty]

Lmao

[Rhezin]

the WORST God of War. Great.

How bout a PS4 version of God of War III?!

[thricetold]

Never bothered with ascension as I was pretty satisfied with gow3, though I always was interested in the MP. Odd choice to be honest. Tlou was the first and im sure ascension won't be the last.

Reading the comments I truly hope the same logic is used when other companies start releasing last gen ports. Would really rather have a new ip instead of the last gen money grabs that are about to release in the next coming months, but they can't forget about all the new ps fans I guess. Don't see why the rest of us have to suffer thru games we've already played to Death because they backed the wrong horse for an entire gen. Serves them right to miss out, but I digress.

Still no reason to upgrade for me until lords of the fallen releases, unless bound by flame really grabs me, but I hear it has a generic character creator so that really kills it for me unless the combat is on par with something like dragon's dogma or the souls game. Honestly would like a mixture of the two.

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

I'm a huge GOW fun, but really ? I have a copy of Ascension, and only played 1 level of it.I font understand this at all.

[MasterofMagnetism]

Definitely the worst game of the GOW saga. Should be GOW III instead.

[SoulSercher620]

If this is true, I'm surprised it would be this game instead of GOW 3.

[Psycho_Mantis]

For gods sakes please stop with these remakes already. Why would anyone really have the need to buy the games again just for a fresh coat of 1080p paint and sharper visuals? Do people "really" care about the eye candy that much?? 0_o

[mochachino]

I'd buy it at $30, never played it on PS3.

[Rageanitus]

and the game will come in at a whopping full price, and ppl will justify it.

Ppl should just stick with PC game if they are so concerned about the upgrade in visuals and resolution.

[MrSwankSinatra]

Dude this is a console only game, how else do you expect people to get a visual upgrade for this game.

[Errefus]

While i dont mind remakes, i think remakes and ports are getting out of hand. Bring new sequels or New Ips

[lyvon]

GOW IV or nothing.

[sarshelyam]

Look, I enjoyed Ascension...but if Sony was truly taking a stance in an effort to deliver experiences to a new fanbase that missed the PS3 boat, GoWIII would be the starting point.

[kornbeaner]

Why? This game is boring. Easily the worst game entry in the series.

[DevilishSix]

I see many comments that there is way to many remakes already. How is this even remotely true? Their has been one retail remake so far and that was tomb raider which was four months ago. There has been one more annouced which is TLOU and its not out yet. How is this to many remakes? Some are way over reacting on here.

[chaosx]

Wont this title be on on PS Now ? Whats the point ?

[whybag]

On this topic, unf*#k the parry mechanics this time plz.

Thanks.

[DarXyde]

I still have yet to play Ascension. If given the option, I still wouldn't buy it. I've just been really burned out of God of War since God of War III ended.

While I can live without it, it couldn't hurt to add it to the library, I guess. More games are more games, after all.

[TruthInsider]

Another PS3 "remaster"!

Can we have some new games built on new next gen engines please?

FFS!

[DJ]

It was kind of a pointless game. Doesn't need a PS4 port by any stretch.

[Kinger8938]

Thats a waste, it wasn't the best game in the series by far, and it sold fairly poorly if i remember? So why bother. Hopefully false as theres games more deserving of a port than this one.

[ScareFactor]

Ugh.................

This the best Sony can do? remakes seriously? When are the actualy "next gen" games coming

[tweet75]

just what I want an hd upgrade of a full priced previous generation mediocre game.

[D3ATH_DRIV3R_777]

Normally, i like what sony is doing with all these games their announcing, but this is not one them!

[AW360ME]

Give me the God of War Saga including all of the games for a reasonable price and I'll listen.
Oh and GT6 will be getting the same treatment, will form part of the GT7 Prologue!! :)

[WitWolfy]

Already own it, so umm yeah unnecessary.

[blackout]

Wow Sony must really be in a world of pain, all of these remakes. I thought they where the originator's of new IP. Well maybe the money is as low as they say it is.

[DevilishSix]

All of these remakes? All of what remakes? Only TLOU has been announced and its not out yet, so how is it all of these remakes, huh?

[HumanatPlay]

A watered down installment from such a fantastic franchise does not deserve a PS4 remake. SONY don't abuse consumer trust, this is absurd.

[Solid_Penguin-64]

Do these remasters require a significant amount of resources to produce? If so I rather they just focus on new entries. If not then I'm all for it (provided the price is reasonable).

[Mikethejew]

wow the worst of the series, why?

[Razorus]

I'm inclined to agree with the majority of people here. A PS4 port is unnecessary as it was the weakest entry in the series. In fact, I only bought it because of my OCD (I have to own complete series or I get annoyed with myself). Having said that, I think the game itself was unnecessary and the story could have been told in another medium, like a comic book for example. It's been done before. I would have liked this series to end with GOW3. Reboot the series using Norse mythology and we may have a deal.

[Maxor]

So when is the PS4 version of Haze and Lair coming?

[nutcrackr]

This is worrying because it means remakes are rapidly increasing in popularity. However, the most dangerous potential implication is that these remakes are attempting to fill a void left by the lack of new games.

I strongly believe remakes are almost the worst thing possible for the gaming industry. Time will tell.

[Clown_Syndr0me]

Another port/remake oh goody.

[Lord_Santa]

NO.

[iKenny]

This is NOT needed! Give us a sequal to GOW 3 for PS4 then we'll talk!

[llMurcielagoll]

Didn't buy it on PS3 and Im sure as hell won't get it on PS4.

[Sheikah]

Yay, another port I won't add to my library (again)...

[DevilishSix]

I think a GOW 3 and Ascension remake would be easier to get to market since the assets were built on PS3. 1 & 2 were PS2 assets and the other two were PSP assets. So if Sony is wanting to do some more GOW remakes it should be 3 and Ascension and probably charge $40.

[Simmo3D]

WOW. So glad I bought an Xbox One. PS4 = the console with nothing but remastered and indie games. FAIL

[Simmo3D]

Oh I forgot... PS4, the console with more DRM than Xbox One. FLAME ON SONY pOWNys

[MWH]

in the face of those who were too blind to see and too proud to admit that this is becoming the generation of HD-Remake-Remaster-sell'de mos.

this shit must end.

[SPARTAN3]

No this is stupid plan. If you have to GOW3 is better.

[Simmo3D]

All you PS4 fanboys that think 1080p is a MUST, watch this video. You might learn something (probably not though)

Watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[therealmarauder]

Oh please no! Now if it was the GOW collection, hmmm

[CorruptBoyd]

More remasters and ports .. Awesomeee

[Darkfist]

i just got if for ps3, i prefer god of war 4.

[DemonChicken]

Yeah I doubt this be coming too as it wasn't as stellar, something like LOU sure but this meh =/

Uncharted would be better like definite version of 1 to 3 xD one can dream

[vitorizzo]

gow 1, 2, 3, acension, ghost of sparta, and chains of olympus all on one disc for ps4. The Ultimate Collection.

[tweet75]

didnt sony say you could buy the ps4 versions of ps3 games for a $5-10 fee if you already own them digitally? what happened?

[lunatic0001]

i understand ports for games that are really old, but why port ps3 games when the upgrade is not that mind blowing...if it was a ps2 game going to ps4 with revamped graphics..i would understand, but the difference from ps3 to ps4 is not that big of a difference compared to ps2 to ps3....please sony...i love my ps4 and would love nothing more than to play more games on it but use the time and money on a new ip or next iteration of an established franchise...which sony has plenty of...and on top of that they sell the ps4 ports for 60 dollars :(
