EYO ITS YO UNCHARTED BRO ALDRO HEWE
xD I was at a swedish game convention and got my hands on Ascension (as well as All Stars with all chars [jizz]) and Halo 4 even. Anyway, I wanna talk a bit about Ascension and its SP.
So at first when I got into that little booth in the corner, Kratos face was halfly shown in the camera just like GoW3. Its basically the E3 demo (yknow the one with the elephant and tentacle rape shit) but holy fuck dat graphics xD. Like Kratos looks really good. Im not too sure if I prefer this or GoW3 version of him (hes far more bulky in GoW3 and yknow ripped) but the graphics in term of colour and lightning is far more ..vibrant (?) i suppose. I like it, it feels fresh. And if the GoW3 demo is any indication of the difference between the full game and the build I saw, then holy fuck.
Anyhow moving on, the gameplay is largely the same but it feels as if Kratos is somewhat faster. The weapons you pick up are added to the circle....
you know what? fuck this.
I enjoyed it very much and th ebiggest awesome shit was the R1 tether thing (you can tether one of ur blades to another guy and then attack others or him and throw him around). With that said: It still.. feels a lot like GoW. Almost a little too much like GoW xD. I dont mind it at all, but based of the SP being a prequel and unless they have any huge ass plot regarding future games in the series, then I am very very scared that this game might be seen as ..more of the same and not in a good way. I am hoping the MP is very good because the SP doesnt convince me of the quality I loved in GoW3. Its far too early to tell since we havent seen anything else but it looks and plays well. I just hope the reason we are playing it is more than that of just slicing similar to all other GoWs (not that I dont like the gameplay because I do, but I just want something to motivate me and something as simple as wanting to fuck Zeus worked in GoW3 as I didnt know the outcome but here I feel like I do).
Tl:dr =>
Looks and plays great. But sceptical on story and feel it might not get so much praise unless the MP prooves to be VERY good.
