Who asked for multiplayer in a freakin God of War game?


There is the option to just, you know - not play the multiplayer. Maybe just stick to the Single Player.

It's the exact same thing that happened to Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. Excellent film, I enjoyed it a lot and own it on DVD, but it had no business being called a Final Fantasy film.

But all the Final Fantasy games are different anyway (apart from direct sequels obviously).

Don't know, doesn't matter. The game still has single player, it still has Kratos, it still has his iconic weapons, and the game is still epic in scale and beautiful graphically. Those fans should be pretty content with that and it seems like they are.

The Spirits Within had much of the atmosphere and themes you would expect from the series, but it lacked the concepts. A lot of people seem to think that "Final Fantasy" is so loosely defined that you can make absolutely any game, slap the "Final Fantasy" name on it, and it counts as Final Fantasy.

FF13 is actually worse than The Spirits Within in this regard. It completely lacked the fantasy aspect and made it into science fiction for atmosphere, and it lacked the themes of a balance of magic and technology with magic as the central element of the game. The only thing it had from Final Fantasy was the concepts of the series, and even then, some such as the summons changed from mythological gods and creatures into mechs were altered to such an extent that they barely even counted.

This at least feels fresh and original. Ascension looks like the same game as the last few God of Boredom games. And it's adding a crappy tacked on multiplayer.


Forget the MP, you're not forced to play it. It still has the epic GoW feel in its single player, it still has the same core gameplay. While not as deep as DMC3, DMC4, or Bayonetta, we did not expect it to be. We're getting exactly what we asked for, exactly what we expected. Sony didn't pass the franchise to an awful developer who thinks they are holier than thou. What I'm trying to say is that it's not a simplified, awful, shallow of a game when compared to its predecessors.

that was my initial reaction, but after playing the beta seems like a great idea if done well...

Could you imagine if NT rebooted God of War?

Instead of Kratos looking and being badass...I don't even know.

Wellp, for once thing, Kratos hasn't put on a bald-cap and started going around saying "F**k you, I'm shakespearian!"


Isn't Kratos...already bald?
