My mind kept going "Hey a new god of war... who's this guy?" For the entire video

Sony announces God of War Ascension.

MS comes up with Ascend New Gods..

hmmmm...there's a limit to the cloning process there dolly..

360GamerFG4334d ago

If it's a retail game, then I am in. New IP, that is refreshing.

Hisiru4334d ago

There is nothing refresh about a generic GOW clone (just look at the character design, grahics, animation etc).

from the beach4334d ago (Edited 4334d ago )

Let's not be too quick to rush in and insult the game by comparing it to God of War, it may well be an extremely intricate, complex and tactical fighting game.. didn't look like it though..

Hicken4334d ago

If it had been Sony making a blatant Gears clone, you'd be hating on it so hard your reason would break.

Outside_ofthe_Box4334d ago

I'm glad this game is clearly inspired by and a response to God of War.

We can now get past this "all Sony does copy." Every company takes a page out of each others book.

SmokingMonkey4334d ago

Exactly, look at Tomb Raider and Uncharted going back and forth.

Technically they are both "blatant clones" of pitfall...

PlaystationAllStar looks better and better but no one really complained when TMNT smash up came out did they. Also wasn't there a Onimusha smash bro style game on the PS2?

neutralgamer194334d ago

Oh yes another GOW clone like dantes inferno lol hahahaha

abzdine4334d ago

hahaha between a ridiculous Uncharted clone (Tomb Raider) and a God of War even uglier clone, this press conference is the most ridiculous i have ever seen in my life !

nevin14334d ago

Be careful abzdine, people will argue Uncharted copied Tomb Raider considering Tomb Raider was on PS1.

Anyway, I thought GOW aswell. I never played Dante's Inferno(besides the demo) wasnt it a successful GOW clone?

Laika4334d ago

The only aspect I feel uncharted copied from Tomb Raider was the overall theme. Gameplay and set pieces Naughty Dog made for themselves. I got a heavy vibe of Uncharted set pieces and over the top action while watching the demo. Although I do admit i really like the mature theme.

abzdine4334d ago

I agree with you but the idea of a treasure hunter is not new and i agree Tomb Raider made it very very popular.

But Uncharted took another path with the second and third episodes and i don't understand why Tomb Raider has to take the key ingredients of what makes Uncharted what it is, especially when they tried to give the franchise a kick in the ass and a complete revamp.

Fel084334d ago

After SONY announcing a total rip off of Super Smash Bros, SONY fanboys have no room to talk about other company copying one of SONY' games.

abzdine4334d ago

You seem to be lacking a LOT of videogame knowledge because SEGA had a game called Fighters Megamix on Sega Saturn with all imaginable SEGA characters fighting against each other and that happened waaaay before any Smash Bros game. Sorry to disappoint you !

Microsoft Files Trademark for Ascend: Hand of Kul, Possibly Signal Studios' Next Game

GR said, "Remember Ascend: New Gods? Not too many people do. Signal Studios, or better known as those who brought you the Toy Soldiers franchise on Xbox Live, introduced the action title to the world during Microsoft’s 2012 E3 press conference. The game has been slated for a 2013 launch date, but little has been seen of the title, which will allow players to “wage war for your God as a brutal Caos warrior on a unique journey to Ascension,” since last year. However, a new trademark filed by the Xbox maker may be a sign that the game has taken on a new moniker."

They've also dropped the trademark for Ascend: New Gods, seemingly. Could be just the new title.

of course not many people remember Ascend. its not even out yet!!

Nitrox3997d ago

It wouldn't be if it were a PS4 exclusive, right?

Belking3997d ago

Nope. Then it would hailed as another quality exclusive before people even played it ...lol

PurpHerbison3997d ago

If it was a PS4 exclusive it would be looked at as this unique next coming of Christ.

KillrateOmega3997d ago

And cue the random and unnecessary initiation of a flame war...

OlgerO3997d ago

having your name aasociated with playstation does add a lot of prestige to a game titel while having your name asociated with xbox can do some serious damage. this is fact

If its a great game, its a great game. A turd name doesnt stain a great game, right?

maniacmayhem3997d ago

I wonder if this is one of the titles where the rumors of "MS games being six months behind" comes from?

Whatever it does I hope they keep the gameplay of "multiplayer-focused, turn-based strategy game". Games nowadays could use more of a variety and I have always been a fan of turn based games.

Jek_Porkins3997d ago

This game was announced as a Free To Play game on the Xbox 360 at last years E3. Also, I wouldn't buy into rumors that every single Microsoft studio is 6 months behind, even the worst luck and biggest coincidence wouldn't account for all of their studios being that far behind.

MTB: Hands-on with Ascend: New Gods

MTB: While at PAX East this year I had a chance to get my hands on Ascend: New Gods. I had seen the trailer, but other than that didn’t know what to expect. I am happy to report that I was pleasantly surprised by what the game has to offer.

Paste Goes to PAX East: Ascend: New Gods

Paste: "Yes, it’s free-to-play, but don’t sleep on Ascend: New Gods. The latest effort from Signal Studios, the developer responsible for the excellent Toy Soldiers games, is an interesting experiment in both design and business models."
