I thought the review embargo was supposed to be lifted by now?
Also Turkish, could we get an update on when the OT will be available? All of our hype levels are in danger of fizzling here

I think the embargo lifts in about 3 hours.
Normally not crazy about fan made trailers, but this was great. Definitely a good job. Would have believed it was official, if i didn't know otherwise.

Really good and the GoW III track fits perfectly.
Less than an hour.
That was too epic, MP looks glorious!!!!!!

That was really cool. And I liked all 3 of those maps from what they showed.

donde? NYC by any chance?
probably Hercules. 1) because you're fighting $!#@ing Hercules, and he happens to be your half-brother. 2) it's a great battle that at first seems in his favor, then slowly you can feel the tide turn in your favor, and then once you get the gauntlets, you can sense that victory is near and he starts running away. not many boss battles in action games give that sense of you slowly turning the tide, it's usually just a sense of hammering away at them until their health bar goes to zero, then suddenly they are dead.

My boyfriend just pointed out to me that the "God of War" logo has changed for Acension. The "A" in "War" was changed to the Greek letter for "L". So essentially, it now says "God of Wlr"
I thought that was interesting.

They should release a walkthrough of each map. Maybe even a full match to go along with it. I hate it when developers don't give an in-depth look at their multiplayer.

I hope it's not like that segment in gow3 near the end where you have to fight waves and waves of enemies, that part was disgustingly difficult.

Well, GoW3 had two titan fights really. I think this one maybe matches that.
Yes, maybe Hecatonchires matches the Chrono fight, but the reviews hint that the game lacks of big battles.
In GOW3 we had Poseidon and Hades too... then Hercules, it was not "massive" but it was memorable... and GOW2? The Colossus, the Barbarian King, the Kraken, Clotho.. amazing, amazing stuff.
And I don't care at all about the "exclusive bosses" in the MP (Polyphemus looks great)... GOW is only a full SP experience to me.

Slightly odd question, but is this demo and the first level of GoW1 a good representation of the series as a whole?

Please tell me that is a sticker on the front, and not printed on the actual cover. :/

Can't figure what the OT subtitle should be, think God of War |OT| Ascension is good.

I finally played this second demo (the first one I tried came with the Total Recall 2012 BD) and thought that graphically it looks astonishing but the framerate felt a bit too erratic for my liking and I yearned for the silky smooth 60 fps of the PS2 God of War HD collection. I'm not at all interested in the multiplayer but may pick it up at some point once I've finished my current crop of PS3 games, including Ni no Kuni and Sly Cooper: TiT!
