God of War: Ascension - Zeus God Trailer

The emphasis on multiplayer when it comes to this game's marketing only serves to make me uninterested in the game, frankly.

I'm definitely more interested in the single player than the multiplayer. But they have my attention with the multiplayer because they mentioned Power Stone as one of their inspirations for it.
 
I have the Collector's Edition pre-ordered for $79.99 from amazon

Season Pass + 8" Figure, Yes Please!

There's a season pass?...

I'll reserve my judgment until the beta. Online seems like it could be a good fit for GoW to me.

Pass for future DLC has to be Season Pass right?

Also Papy curses so much, I like!

thought the same at first, but playing it was just sooo fun

Given how disappointed I have been with combat systems lately I'm glad GoW still has it going. It might not be Bayo (or DMC/NG at their prime, not the the latest games, they are awful), but at least it is a solid one.
 
I'm only interested in the multiplayer because of the comparisons made to Power Stone.

But this game is looking pretty damn good overall
 
Hey folks, I am @Just_Tank, your @SonySantaMonica Community Strategist (you can also know me as the God of War Community Manager if you'd like).

I formerly worked at EA as the Command & Conquer Community Manager for many years and at THQ as the WWE Games and UFC Undisputed Community Manager, so needless to say, you're dealing with an experienced CM Spartan here. This studio is in good community hands, rest assured.

Stoked to see the level of excitement for GoW Ascension, yes we've been focusing heavily on our new Multiplayer because:

  • it's our "titan" of God of War: Ascension, something completely new and unique to the franchise that deserves this level of focus and attention as we educate and excite you further on it
  • our Multiplayer Beta is coming this winter, well ahead of our game launch. The team is dedicated to gathering your feedback at a point early enough to still impact the game, thus, it's important to us to keep educating on this feature
  • it's bad ass, non-bias, sure tough to believe me, your official CM, but I have every bit of faith my words will ring true

The "early access" to the Beta is related to a unique experience we are launching today with our new GodofWar.com website. By the time you read this, it will likely be live already.

We know everyone and their (insert any human beings name) is anxiously awaiting more info on the Ascension Single-Player experience.

Those who appreciate non-spoilers will understand the likelihood more SP info on God of War is unlikely until this Winter as we get closer to launch, and we are intent on doing it in a way that will not spoil, but will entice and whet your appetite, for that which you seek.

We're going to take you on a journey, that begins today with Rise of the Warrior, and as we continue, you'll learn all you wish to about Ascension. Why do I know that? Because i'm in the inner circle responsible for ensuring that.

Looking forward to being "present" and "active" here and everywhere. It's high-time Sony Santa Monica received the community management treatment, I am stoked that begins with God of War.

Cheers,
Tank
 
Meh, MP trailer. Was hoping for SP :| Oh well, this is still a day 1 purchase since it's GoW.

Pretty much. If i buy the game i'll never even touch the multiplayer.

Same for me. I'll buy it, play the SP and happily ignore the MP (like I do with every game).

You guys are doing pretty amazing job.
 
Wanted a SP trailer but good news on the beta, will be interested to see what they have done with multiplayer first hand.

Good to hear!! Thanks for the news. Day 1 purchase for sure. My favorite hack and slash series!
 
If you're uninterested in the Marketing now because we are focusing on Multiplayer, that is perfectly fine. Marketing never appeals to 100% of your target audience and this being a very new feature, if not shocking to core GoW fans, we're fully understanding it may not interest you.

That said, if you give it a test run during our MP Beta, and you dig it, EPIC. If not, no worries.

Now...with THAT said, don't ever underestimate the single-player power of the God of War dev team and marketing team...and community team...we're just not at that point in the timeline yet that makes sense.

I look forward to having this conversation again when that trains blows through the door.

Till then, enjoy the ride, keep the feedback coming.

Cheers,
Tank

While I do think it sucks we are not seeing more of SP, I appreciate what you are doing in trying to non-spoil the game. I hope more games follow in what SSM is doing.
 
Thanks for the info Tank. I'm not too worried about SP because MP is something new to show so of course you'll show it off a lot, but that doesn't change the fact that SP is there and I rather not have TOO much information on it. I rather not hear about SP too much but MP isn't going to spoil anything for me and I love hearing about it since it's very unique.

Just because they don't market SP right now this far away doesn't mean anything to me. Hell, it could be the best SP ever for all I know, but marketing has their goals and that doesn't always line up with what people here want.

Are you telling me my cat isn't looking forward to the single player? Hmm? How rude.

In all seriousness, I'm not dying to play Ascension, but getting to play as different gods sounds really cool.
 
Season Pass after the whole Uncharted 3 failure? Oh brother.

Do not want. Guess its gonna be the first game I skip till GoW4.
 
I don't really need to see much from the single player portion of the game, the last 3 were all amazing so I'm sure the 4th will be great as well.

I'm still not completely sold on the multiplayer portion of the game, but we're getting the beta in winter so I'll soon be able to figure out whether it's something I want to play regular or not.
