OXM - Ascend: New Gods - the beginning of the end for offline RPGs

OXM - Ascend does some interesting and inventive new stuff, but lets start with the basics - this is an action role-playing game where you'll play a warrior the size of a small Godzilla and slaughter vast monsters in the name of your god.

This game looks pretty good and its free 2 play. Which makes it even better.

The free to play stuff always worries me with the nickel n diming possibility but it does sound really interesting and sounds like they've borrowed and altered (in a good way) some ideas from other games like dark souls.

Nothing is New under the Sun, just repackaged with New Names to make them seem Original.

Return of the Nephilum: The Worship of False Gods, the Unholy union of fallen angels & ancient humans, creating "Giants" or "Nephilum". This is a very demonic & Evil game.....a complete "abomination".

p.s- I can hear the mockers, the ignorant masses , with little understanding, its ok, my feelings aren't hurt one bit, go ahead, deny the Truth....& mock....., to your own peril.

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.

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

Belking4005d ago

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

PurpHerbison4005d ago

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

KillrateOmega4005d ago

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

OlgerO4005d 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?

maniacmayhem4005d 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_Porkins4005d 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.

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."
