Multiplayer Graces God of War

Isn't God of War all about hacking up a shit ton of people is massive quantity with giant combos?
I mean, I never played the games, just speculating here.

He was in a Soul Calibur game, if I remember correctly. The PSP one, I think. I think Buretsu just made a mistake.Korten12 said:
You know, I really don't know what to think about it. I think the multiplayer looks fun as hell, but I don't agree with adding it into the series. This will also be Sony Santa Monica's first foray into multiplayer excluding Super Smas- I mean Sony's Playstation All Stars. I'm pretty sure anyways, tell me if I'm wrong about this piece of info right here.
It seems to me that they have already driven the single player story (such as it was) so totally into the ground that this is actually the only direction it can go in. I'm not sure what everyone's making such a fuss about - this seems like the only sensible direction they can go in if they want to freshen up the God of War franchise - maybe even open it up to a new market.
I don't play multiplayer games, so you might expect I'd be annoyed that a traditionally single player franchise has invested in multiplayer over further single player action. However, having played all three God of War games on PS3, plus the old PSP one, I'm quite certain that the franchise needs to find a new niche. Besides, I thought people flailing at each other competitively in over-the-top ways was the heart and soul of multiplayer? ;-) God of War should fit right in...

I never actully thought of that. I never realized that it would only help rush it along. Great, another thing to dislike it for.teebeeohh said:
OT: I just hope that there will still be good single player games that don't feel the need to ram MP into them. Im actully kinda hopeful. Dragons Dogma is coming out soon and that's single player only as well as looking very promising. I can only hope this eventully dies out.
Colour me skeptical, but give it a rest guys.
Hating on it just because it will be present just makes you look like some nerd raging basement dweller. I've got my fingers crossed that it will be good.
Perhaps the ascension part means that it's a prequel of sorts.

Contrary to what appears to be the vast majority of people, I actually don't mind them throwing in multiplayer. I'm optimistic enough that it'll be good, like when everyone bitched about AC having multiplayer, and that turned out alright.
Hmmm I seem to be in the wrong here judging on the general consensus but I am excited and this might just be the straw that broke the camels back in me going out and splurging on a ps3. I love the idea of fighting for your patron god and think the system could work pretty well.
While I agree with the fact it may divert resources away from the single player mode I guess that its something that can only be weighed up as a success once the game comes out.

Heaven forbid we actually retire a character at the end of series and risk introducing a new and original creation. No, no, share holders wouldn't like that.
I guess we should be glad that it's not a Kart racer.
(oh wait they already sort of did that didn't they)

I will reserve my judgement until I actually see how well it's implemented an whether or not the funds needed for it truly took away from the single-player. But to those saying a hack-n-slash can't work for a multi-player game, I point you to Castle Crashers; even if it did get a bit cluster-fucked at times, it never took away from how much fun I had while playing it.
why does god of war need multiplier?
i don't see how it wouldn't be tacked on but who knows it might work.
i will remain very skeptical

Oh, indeed, I cannot deny the presence of multiplayer in everything.Vault101 said:
I can't wait for Team Deathmatch in Fable.
I know there's PVP in MMOs, so fantasy games aren't undoable, but it seems so out of place. Even moreso than God of War, if that's possible.
I'm fine with multiplayer games. I just wish there was more room for the dedicated single player experience. Unfortunately, the NEXT God of War will probably be a cover-based FPS.
HOW TO TIE IT INTO STORY MODE: The teams are made of gladiators trying to gain the favor of Kratos.
MY REACTION TO MULTIPLAYER IN GOD OF WAR: I hope it's good for the game's sake. I'm not into God of War, but hopefully it will give the fans something else to like about the games.
