Rather than the obvious grid of climbable space I saw a large area with multiple paths that allowed me to scale up to a nearby pipe. The gameplay example I saw was when I encountered new climbing surfaces. Probably not a serious example, but it illustrated the point well. The example we saw was an cyclops that was walking past a sexy statue that could now twist his head, give it googly eye, and then continue walking forward. It also allows animations inside of other animations. This new layered animation system gives players new movement and attack options. The animation system has also gotten an overhaul.

The sword can be thrown directly into the chest of an enemy to stun them for an instant finish. The weapons all have unique finisher weapons when they are discarded, so items like the spear finish up with raining pila from the sky to crush small enemies.
Using the circle button allows you to attack with the weapon, and you can mix it in with your blade attacks, unlocking entirely new combinations. Rather than replacing your blades in combat, the World Weapons augment your attacks. There are five World Weapons that have been revealed for the game – the club (which was present in the Multiplayer Open Beta), the sword, a shield, chains, and a sling. This gives him an element of crowd control, as well as the ability to grab, swing, and use enemies as a wrecking ball. Kratos has always been able to hook enemies, but now you can tether them and continue to fight with the other blade. This means Kratos will begin doing additional damage, will expand his combination repertoire, and otherwise raise his lethality automatically. The team decided that Rage needed to be a part of normal combat, so roughly every 20 kills you’ll max out your Rage meter, and it unleashes automatically. Since you never knew when you’d need it, many players (including myself) never really used it. Previous titles had players hoarding their Rage and you could unleash it with a button press roughly every 20 or 30 fights.
#GOD OF WAR ASCENSION INFO UPGRADE#
The Blades of Chaos will upgrade and become more powerful like it had in previous titles, but a revamped Rage meter makes for a different experience. This left the team to focus more on the Blades of Chaos and what they are calling “World Weapons”. This means that the powers he has earned over the last few games can’t be present for this title. Since this game takes place roughly 6 months after the murder of his family, Kratos has already made his transition to the Ghost of Sparta. Given how vast an upgrade II to III was, they have big shoes to fill.īeyond the look and feel of the artwork, the combat would get a complete revamp. They went at that task by looking at how they wanted the game to feel instead of just how they wanted it to look. Since Kratos will be younger, the art style would have to be adjusted. The team wanted to overhaul many of the systems that make up the mechanics of the game while still retaining the feel of God of War. With over two years of development, the game aimed to make a similar leap in technology that we saw from God of War II to God of War III. Before we got started, director Todd Papy gave us a look at what has changed since our last outing with Kratos. Today that all changed when we got our hands on the first 30 minutes of the single player experience (see also the video below). Up until now all of the God of War Ascension coverage has been multiplayer, multiplayer, multiplayer.
