Makes sense, God of War games always release in March so March 2013 seems right.

Also, just think guys Sony announced a huge game like God of War: Ascension on an averaged April day while E3 is just 2 months away. If they announced this game this close to E3 they must have tons of announcements for E3 that they didn't have time for it all.

BiggCMan4388d ago

They have done that before, but it didn't necessarily mean a spectacular E3. Yea they may not have time for it in the show, but doesn't mean they will show off a bunch of new stuff. They will most likely talk a lot of statistics in the beginning like every year, a new reveal or 2 for PS3, and then most of the show will be showcasing the Vita's performance, and a couple of games for it.

MariaHelFutura4388d ago (Edited 4388d ago )

E3 = PS4, Vita games, GOW:A and TLOU. Plus, GOW2 came out right before the PS3 and was the best looking PS2 game. This all makes complete sense. GOW:A will be the "crown jewel" of what the PS3 can do, then they'll move on...... I'm excited. Oh, of course...statistics aswell.

Afterlife4388d ago (Edited 4388d ago )

I don't think E3 is about new game announcements anymore. 2011 was Sly and Twisted Metal was 2010. Those announcements weren't even that big or secret at all and obvious according to existing rumors.

This is what I expect from Sony Conf E3 2012.
It's all about new gameplay, 5-10 Minutes of GoWA, PSN stuff, number graphs and some release dates and maybe 1 game announcement. Keep your expectations low and watch some new gameplay of upcoming games.

Realistically, Nintendo will probably have the most announcements.

Drainage4388d ago

nah. They will show demos or trailers for God of War, last of us, last Guardian, LBP karting, Vita new games, and 1-2 new ps3 announcement, probably GG's KZ4 or whatever they are working on. Pretty much THIS. Everything else is Multiplat.

Everything else will wait for next year since other projects are all PS4 and they wont talk about that yet.

Kingdom Come4388d ago

Sony tend to announce their games a few months prior to E3 so that they can demonstrate them at E3...

"God of War games always release in March so March 2013"

I hope this won't change though. God of War III was delayed a couple of times if I remember correctly. But then again, the last time it was delayed before release was in March as well.

Hope to see more info on E3!

i cant wait to kill some more f'ed up monsters again.

Tapioca Cold4388d ago

Don't need multiplayer. 3D I have but it sucks the life and graphics out of games (next gen wil be better)

However, I'm not a motion control guy, I think GOW would work well for those who like Move and motion controls.

WeskerChildReborned4388d ago

Not surprised really about no multiplayer but at least they can spend their time on making the Storyline really good and long.

"without 3D or multiplayer support"

Well, if its not broken dont fix it.

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.

abstractel517d ago

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

Palitera516d 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.

hotnickles516d 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.

ClayRules2012528d ago

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.

MrNinosan528d ago

My same ranking exactly, with Ragnarök at #1.

ClayRules2012527d 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

Flawlessmic528d 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.

CrimsonWing69528d 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.

robtion528d 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_Z803d 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_Darkness803d ago

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

neutralgamer1992803d 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

nevin1803d 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-name803d ago

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

Your street cred is taking a hit today.

Muigi803d ago

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