Will there be any hot, sexual moments?

Semi serious.

Don't be shy , this is very reasonable question.

I want to ask too; are they planning to get in any playable chars other than Kratos? Or another myth ? Actually it is a tip for them too. Maybe not for this game but some other sequels.

-Will there be titan sized creatures in the single player?

-Will there be an explanation for why Kratos ends up not keeping the power ups he'll get in this game, since he starts up bare in Chains of Olympus and God of War 1?

-The official God of War novel said Kratos' services went to Athena because Athena won a wager over Ares where she ended up gaining Kratos' service and all of Ares' army as well--hence he started using undead things from Hades and other creatures and stuff to make up for his lack of a normal army. It seems this game will be ignoring how Kratos' allegiance switched according to the novel, does that mean the entirety of the novel is now ignorable as part of the story, or only that specific part of how Kratos' allegiance switched?

You said anything is acceptable, so you asked for it!

Ok, I think the sex mini-games need improvement or something new. I was thinking, Kratos could enjoy the spoils of war with a blowjob from two babes. And the game is a button masher. There's a climax meter on the right side of the screen and you have to mash the O button and when you do, the screen is covered in his man juice.

Or you could have Kratos try new positions in the sex mini-games. And go for a shocking finish, show them naked, show genitalia. GTA already did it.

I'm also a pervert.

**Sylar** · 01-30-2013

Have they maintained their position on violence against females in the game and if so, how do they justify their acceptability of violence against men?

i wanna ask: why do you think going multi-player is a good move for the series?

LOL...

PSU: Have you maintained your position on violence against females in the game and if so, how do they justify their acceptability of violence against men?

SM: Oh sure, hey great question. We are fully behind and maintain our position on violence against women. Our position is the same, doggy style, pounding that shit! bang! bang! bang! Same goes for men, slap, slap, slap, thats the sound of us being behind our position. Violence is now carried out against elephants...

Just tell them please. Don't make any online trophies because I hate them.

Agreed, games should follow Uncharted 2/3. Base game was mostly single player, with a few easy multiplayer trophies.. and all the DLC added all the multiplayer trophies.

Your deep yet meaningful post, although appearing as though it was written by an eight year old; has convinced me. Thanks for the input.

I hope you know I wasn't taking the piss out of your question at all.

I just saw that elephant scene in my head when I read your it and was a fair bit pissed.

It looks really sarcastic but it wasn't meant that way.

**jj03** · 01-31-2013

Here`s a question:

Having played the demo, how do you plan to stop this game feeling like somewhat of a hit n miss button masher in the final build?

(Love gow, but after numerous games, it leaves me very underwhelmed)

When will they stop milking the franchise? GOW3 was the end the series deserved AND needed. Kratos sucks and

Serious question: can we expect new IPs anytime soon?

**IWAO** · 01-31-2013

Will there be any add-ons for this game?

**Ixion** · 01-31-2013

Will there be any type of co-op mode? And if not, why the F not?!?!

**Lethal_NFS** · 01-31-2013

Seeing how they added a multiplayer mode, has the single player campaign been shortened at all? Is the single player campaign comparable to God of War 3?

I'm pretty sure I read that the campaign would be a bit shorter than usual due to the multiplayer.

I know friend and they are so stupid. Last night I was the flying game that I bought from PSN, and its called "SECRET WORLD CONFLICT" and there are 2 trophies that will require from you to get a kill from 250M. You can't get 1 kill by opening fire and the game is so bad. Its compeletly stupid and I have left after 3 minutes.

I'll be sure to check into that

Any idea what "a bit" was? This kind of makes me unhappy. I already found them on the short side from most games.

**MBS D@v!d** · 02-01-2013

1.) Is there a possibility for another GOW game after Ascension?

2.) Will Deimos be mentioned - or another one of Kratos' family, like his mother, father, or somebody else besides his wife and kid?

3.) What are you favourite games? Do you play games like Dead Space, Metal Gear Solid, Batman, Far Cry 3, Darksiders (hack'n'slash action-adventure), and Devil May Cry (also hack'n'slash)... ? I would like to know what game developers play and what they think about games like the ones I mentioned.

4.) Is Kratos' model in Ascension higher in polygons and texture resolution than GOW3's? What about other characters and the overall detail of the world?

5.) Will there be SINGLEPLAYER DLC?

**KyleOnTheRun** · 02-02-2013

Ok guys, my response to this thread has been a long time coming (I just slept for 17 hours to recover from my trip).

For a detailed read of my impressions, see here: http://www.psu.com/a018168/God-of-Wa...nsion-hands-on

That should answer some of the concerns we have about SP and if it will suffer (I don't think it will; in fact, it seems like they care about Kratos more than ever).

The game flat out looks better than God of War III. We didn't think it was possible, but the animations and scope of everything on display trumps III for sure. Textures and detail are probably pretty much the same, but Kratos looks better to me too.

I asked about the possibility for future titles in a more subtle way... the answer was basically, "We're always eager to jump into new projects and continue Kratos' story if we think it's right and the fans demand it."
