Sony comments on ‘God of War Ascension’ cross-play for Vita

Sony Santa Monica’s “God of War: Ascension” is one of the PlayStation 3’s biggest releases during early 2013, however, some fans are wondering when Kratos will make his PlayStation Vita debut.

During the "God of War" PAX panel, a curious fan asked when “God of War” may find its way to the PlayStation Vita and if “God of War: Ascension” may possibly feature cross-play functionality.

This is a really badly put together article. Ignore the title altogether. Sony only comment on it because it's put to them as a question and the answer is no. The headline suggests that it not only IS being worked on but it will be a part of cross play. I smell a seed of discontent being sown here. Don't give this a hit

Fan: "Will this happen"?
Sony: "No".

Thanks for saving a minute of my life dude. :)

mafiahajeri4247d ago

A gow game on the vita maybe Deimos story would be amazing! Sad ready at dawn turned Down gow vita but hopefully someone picks it up.

nevin14247d ago

"Sad ready at dawn turned Down gow vita"

They did?

srcBFMVBMTH4247d ago

Dude, Deimos was such a badass character in GOS. Wouldn't mind if he got his own game. His fighting style would be so different from Kratos too. (Gauntlet and more traditional Spartan Weapons).

Would be a cool character in PS All Stars too. Should be at least a different costume for Kratos.

KUV19774247d ago

SPOILER for those who haven't played Ghost of Sparte yet: Wasn't Deimos captured as a kid and held captive until Kratos rescued him, only so he could be killed moments later. How would they make a complete game out of Deimos story? Or did i mix something up?

srcBFMVBMTH4247d ago (Edited 4247d ago )

@KUV1977

Crap, you're right lol. Pretty sure SSM could think of something epic up for Deimos though. But they probably won't : /

LarVanian4247d ago (Edited 4247d ago )

Deimos will indeed be in PS All Stars as an alternative costume

Deimos is an alternative costume for Kratos in PSASBR.

They could at least give us the possibility of streaming it to the Vita since we know it's possible (at least for PS3 CFW).

IHateYouFanboys4247d ago

i was going to say i dont know why people are complaining about this article, its a legitimate one from all i can see.

this confirms theres no GOW:A coming out on vita, and hence no cross-buy/cross-play. when you guys all champion the dozens of 'why xbox live isnt worth the money' articles every day, why cant an article like this be posted?

NotSoSilentBob4247d ago

"Right now there are no plans for it" That doesn't mean they will not make plans for it. Kind of line how Sony wasn't getting a new gen Portable ready yet they will released the VITA. Everyone knows that Sony is ready and willing to port games across its different systems, just takes time.

yeahokchief4247d ago

I still wouldn't buy a vita. And I have plenty of money.

searcam014247d ago

Why post that comment then? You didn't even explain why you wouldn't buy it. I don't get it. Troll.

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.

abstractel511d ago

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

Palitera511d 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.

hotnickles511d 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.

MrNinosan522d ago

My same ranking exactly, with Ragnarök at #1.

ClayRules2012522d 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

Flawlessmic522d 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.

CrimsonWing69522d 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.

robtion522d 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_Z798d 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_Darkness797d ago

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

neutralgamer1992798d 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

nevin1798d 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-name798d ago

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

Your street cred is taking a hit today.

Muigi797d ago

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