gamescom: God of War: Ascension flaunts multiplayer mode

It's been awhile since we heard anything about God of War: Ascension's multiplayer (Dale previewed it way back in April), but with this week's gamescom press event Sony has released some promising new footage. 

A prequel exploring Krato's origin story, this PlayStation 3 title will offer 4 on 4 objective based combat while promising to "stay true to the heart and soul of God of War." It will also add character customization and allow your team to align with one of four major Greek gods, all while providing the same bloody bashes and glorious finishing moves of the classic God of War single-player campaign.

God Of War: Ascension arrives March 12, 2013.

Why is that big eye beast staring at them so intently
Great, more tacked-on, completely unnecessary multiplayer modes for single-player games. Who wants this shit?
If the multiplayer plays half as good as it looks this might just be a nice little bonus.
I would've thought...you know, make a new god of war like game except with norse mythology.

Everything could lead up to ragnarok. I can't be the only one who's thinking of this.
@Char Holy fuck I would hate to be your friend. You probably think every single restaurant and movie suck because they aren't gourmet or black & white foreign films.

This shit looks like pure fun. How anyone could watch that trailer and think otherwise is beyond me. Obviously, it's not doing anything new but they could have done MUCH worse. At least they're actually trying to give you a fun, fresh (with GoW) experience.

Loved the multi-level arenas.
Lmao at 'tacked on MP'

The reveal of this game was that its gonna have MP..

They put out 3 amazing single player experiences and want to try something different. Go back to playing COD.
And if you count handheld, which I clearly didn't, the total is closer to 5.

People like him, are the reason this industry has become so stagnant.
looking like Titan Quest now :P
Wow, guys, you could not be more wrong.

I love God of War, and I love multiplayer where it's appropriate. But slapping it on to stuff like this and Ninja Gaiden and Dead Space is an insult. It's usually a half-assed attempt to prevent people from selling back the game used after a week or two.

THAT is "the reason this industry has become so stagnant," everyone is still trying to replicate the success of Call of Duty games and copy/pasting the basic setup with perks and everything else. How many games have thrown in a horde mode in the last few years?

I can't see how anyone would be excited by adding a lame, derivative multiplayer mode to the God of War franchise. But hey, don't let me stop you from wasting your money.

Also, I haven't played COD since MW2, so there.
Multiplayer adds more bang for your money. Don't like? Don't play it. It's so hard to prevent yourself from clicking the multiplayer menu, amiritie?
