Combat Designer Jason McDonald fills us in on thenew mechanics behind the combat system in the game. Ascension takes place after Kratos murders his family and focuses on Kratos
(God of War: Ascension, Jason McDonald, PS3, Sony)
i know we are all excited about new playstation system but how come each exclusive looks and plays better than the one before? if ps3 is as old as everyone wants me to believe where are ND and santa monica finding the hidden power?
and if exclusives look this great on ps3, how real could things get with ps4?
I hope this one is better then 3 i really did not enjoy it like I thought I would, not saying it was a bad game cause it it's not, But up until 3 GOW including the psp and cell phone game was hands down my favorite game, but half way threw 3 it was some one hit the switch. to be honest I think when you take away the graphics it was just a repetitive hack and slash with a story that went completely foolish, this dude went from a half god to having all the gods fear him to killing all of them and some of the titans, they really just went to far I mean come on.
i watched the 30min of this game, it's like an expansion to GOW3, same gameplay, animations, fixed camera and bosses that don't require skills to beat, anyway i'm getting this game when it gets cheap
here's an advice for Santa Monica Studio...when considering making next GOW game work with Platinum or Capcom
^ You have lost all credibility with your post. You must be blind because the game looks amazing. God of War don't need to change anything it's damn good the way it is.
Yeah, because the first 30 minutes is SOOOO similar to what happened in the whole of God of War 3.... LMAO!
"Same gameplay" - It's God of War and the first 30 minutes doesn't represent the whole game.
"Same animations" - utter BS.
"Fixed camera" - a hallmark of God of War, deal with it.
"Bosses that don't require skills to beat" - Never played on Titan/Chaos mode then... if I can believe you've ever even been interested in or played any to begin with...
Here's some advice for you. Watch and learn as the industry gives this incredible game and Sony's #1 studio its dues.
"Work with Platinum or Capcom" Yeah because they're the best developers in the industry, right J-blaze?
It's not like every God Of War game has received excellent reviews, tons of sales & considered amongst the best in the genre. Santa Monica Studio should take notes from the guys who made Resident Evil 6!
Lol work with Platinum. So Kratos can start triple flipping in midair and the absolute worst rock music can start playing while he's taking down an ogre. We dont need Kratos as another generic anime-style badass.
that's j-blaze for ya never seize to amaze with his utterly ridiculous trolling skills!
bosses don't require skill to beat? of course...if you play on the easiest difficulty! go against Hades on Chaos or even Titan difficulty in GoW3 and see if you can just mash those combos and win! nahh...why do I even bother? you're here for the sake of TROLLING and only trolling! you don't play the game at all to begin with!
Here's some advice for you J-Blaze, next time look at which series had to get rebooted in a desperate attempt to regain popularity and look at which series had almost been canned due to bad sales before it was picked up by Nintendo, thus abandoning it's original fanbase and then look at the series that has been the best selling of it's genre and has made it's loyal 3 million plus fanbase happy by doing what it does best and doesnt have a bunch of bitter weeaboo's angry that American made is the best as a fanbase.
This is why God of War is the king of action hack & slash. God of War sells more and scores higher than ALL other games in this genre for a reason. It's the best.
This is my most anticipated ps3 title this year but i really want Sony Santa Monica to take a break from the franchise and create a new IP on the ps4, Action/Adventure/platformer/RP G would be great lol.
