 "God of War: Ascension will have multiplayer")
Looks like the ongoing rumours of multiplayer in the God of War universe are true as Sony finally unveiled the multiplayer aspect of God of War: Ascension, the prequel to the God of War games, last night.
So far only one gameplay mode has been revealed that has eight players battling it out against each other in two teams of four. After one team has been dominated by the other, the team that controls all points gains access to certain weapons that will help them take down a gigantic AI controlled foe. In this case, it was one unfortunate Cyclops that met his end in a brutal way via some very painful looking finishers.
We’re not too sure how we feel about this, since the God of War series has always been about an epic single player experience, so we really hope Sony don’t compromise on that. Look out for more God of War: Ascension in the coming weeks including footage of the single player campaign.
Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
