Athena, Pandora and the MASSIVE CHAMBER OF BOXES were the only lowpoints of GoW3 and not enough to bring it down from the fucking glorious opening and each and every amazing boss fight.
Another new director? This series is such a mess, it's embarrassing.

I was disappointed in the length. The game was really short and considering that, you spend a lot of time in giant box room, and with LOVE AND HOPE pandora.

Do AAA games that take 2-3 years to develop typically have the same director every time?
I didn't find it to be any shorter than the previous games and/or other games in the genre.
The only truly unforgivable aspects of GoW3 to me were Pandora's character and the ending. Other than that, I loved the whole thing.

I'm interested to see where it goes too. The jump from God of War 1 to 2 was staggering, so try and imagine what leap we'll see from a game that was gestated so early on in the PS3's lifecycle.I'm really curious to see how they plan on topping the Titan stuff from GOW3, damn getting too excited for this already, going to have to stay away from info as much as possible. atleast until we get a date for release, which will probably be March next year.
I like that perspective. We'll see what happens.I wish they had gone a different direction for Ascension but who knows, maybe it'll be the MGS3 of the GoW saga.
Thats what I think it is going by it being the most ambitious titleThe way I see it:
GOW1 hads the best story and pacing, GOW2 had best puzzles and variety and GOW3 had the best gameplay, weapons and wow moments. Now Ascension has its work cut out but it needs to really up the sense of adventure which I want more than anything else.

What bothers me is I just don't see SM voluntarily making a 3rd god of war prequel when they could have moved on to something new (I know there is probably another team that did so but still). I hope they come out and say otherwise because I'll have a lot more faith in the project knowing the decision came from the team, but this just reeks of being a Sony mandated game. The franchise has grown too big for them to let go of.

35 Pages already nice. Cannot wait for this : )
A mess? Probably one of the best well made series in recent memory. Excellent quality all around, excellent cinematic production values, great gameplay, etc.
Not seeing the "mess" here.
I wonder what do they mean by most ambitious - multiplayer perhaps?
And why now, and now at E3 few weeks from now.
Story and direction wise, gameplay is just fine.

Kratos is one of the most vile, evil characters in video games. He should have been the villain.
The same can be said for both NG and DMC.
To me there has not been 1 bad GOW game yet .
I don't know, Sony really tends to support dev decisions, that's why they didn't force ND to add Move support on UC3 and let me them do a new IP as well. Im sure the decision for a prequel came from SSM. And the studio from my understanding is much larger than ND so they could still be doing a whole new game while also working on Ascension.
Never played 2, but I love 1 and 3. I hope they focus a bit more on the adventure and RPG elements, because some of the hub-ish areas of 3 were great.

That guitar hero bit was.... ugh. I was thinking "why?!" the whole way throughSchrödinger's cat;37098280 said:What about that spectacularly misjudged rhythm-action bit? (or was that what you refer to as Pandora?)
The problem with 3 is that it just doesn't have much of a story. Kratos fights the gods and that's it. The only really new thing was Pandora, and that was rather stupid and not fitting the games tone.I always like 2 the least, too long and other things like story was worse than the other 2. 3 and 1 are tied but 3 is recent and more replayable but the story isn't as good.
The japanese action games don't focus on story or plot or characters though, it's just combat to them and that other stuff is just there because it has to be.
GoW does try to focus on that a bit but it fails in 3 and even 2 to a lesser extent. 3 was just terrible in that regard though and really screwed up near the end.
