God of War: Ascension

This is the leaked trailer for God of War: Ascension. There isn't too much info on it as of now but from the trailer it seems that TC Carson will still be voicing Kratos while The Narrator/Gaia will be voiced by Linda Hunt again.

From what the trailer reveals it seems that this will be a prequel instead of a sequel as I hoped to see. GoW:CoO happened somewhere between the time when Kratos killed his family and when he was trying to kill Ares while GoS happened between GoW1 and GoW2. Two interquels are more than enough backstory, I'd rather want to see what happened to Kratos after that lame ass ending of GoW3.

The estimated launch date is somewhere between 2013 to 2014.

Spoiler alert: everyone dies.

I'm guessing this is for the Playstation3 or the Vita.
Then comes the canon thingy, where the hell would they put Kratos's "ascension" in the timeline?

Honestly GoW3 was so disappointing. Not sure if I should feel anything positive about this one, feels like milking time.

As much as I hate to admit it, it's true that the GoW franchise is turning into somewhat of a cash cow. GoW3 was nowhere as fun as the first two IMO and the PSP versions were too short+too compressed for me to thoroughly enjoy.

The timeline is getting really confusing with the addition of the PSP games and seeing as how this one will be a prequel/interquel a reboot might not be so far off.

+1 on the psp versions. it's too short to have fun. and not to mention 10-15hrs of gameplay is enough to beat the game itself.

I really don't know how to feel about GoW games anymore, but the trailer was cool.

Son of a bitch, I want GoW4.

This was... quite the surprise...

What's most conflicting is how I feel about this move. On one hand, this feels like a huge cash-grabbing move (it is, I know), and might (read: WILL) detract from the single-player experience.

On the other hand... that... doesn't look half bad. In fact, it's looks more than decent. Who knew GoW MP could work at all?

Not a huge fan of GoW, it was great on PS2 but I think they started milking Kratos and GoW in general, (he was in a few fighting games FFS)

Yep, I'm very surprised and impressed also. Really loving the 4vs4 along with one major objective. Loving it so far.

I used to dread the day that SM would steer GoW into multiplayer, but now that it's done so, it actually looks pretty decent. Action games haven't done really well in the multiplayer section (Dante's Inferno DLC and Ninja Gaiden 3) which is why I was worried.

On the other hand, the graphics haven't changed a lot it seems.. not that I mind anyway. GoW3's graphics were and still are phenomenal and it seems that Ascension won't be topping that for now.

Idk, I still expect MP to be broken as in unbalanced.

Supposedly the prequel of God of War 1 where it's set before Kratos became known as the "Ghost of Sparta". Not much is known except that he is a lot more humanly than he was back in the earlier games. Looking forward to this game and more of Krato's constipation.

Ah right, then I guess this thread good to get locked.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Getting back on topic (or not), some of my friends who play much more video games than myself have claimed that there are quite a number of titles following in the format of God of War these days. Will a saturation of games falling under such genre diminish the popularity of the God of War series?

Looking good so far, looks like Kratos is fighting the Charybdis.

Seems fun. God of war is always about dance of violence.

Why is he already white?
