One can hope! EDGE just deserve to go bust for shoddy journalism and hipster reviews.
Sony Santa Monica are #1 in my opinion. In 8 years their lowest rated game averaged 93/100.
EDGE always trolls God of War and Sony Santa Monica, one of their writers must be really bitter that God of War killed off all of it's 'big' competitors like DMC, Ninja Gaiden etc.
Do you really think Activision will let Bungie make an Xbox 360 when thay could make twice as much money going multiplatform?
And God of War: Ascension alone will easily outsell Gears of War: Judgment considerably, it may not have as much hype as GTA V, TLoU or Bioshock Infinite but it has a ton more than GeoW:J and it's pre-orders are more than doubling it in both franchises strongest region the US, God of War is a much bigger franchise than Gears of War in Europe and J...
Most of my favourite games this gen have also been multiplatform. The only exclusives I care for are God of War, Gears of War 1 & 2, LittleBigPlanet and Alan Wake. I couldn't care less for the mediocre Uncharted 'games', MGS4 is awful (never played a previous game in that series and never will), don't care for Halo (might try Halo 4 though) and I don't care for racing simulators so no interest in GT or Forza.
I own all current generation consoles and ...
@GranTheftZamboni Nope, Resistance 1 sold much better than 2 & 3 because it was massively bundled unlike it's sequels. Most of Sony's biggest IP's are massively bundled like the Uncharted series, Gran Turismo series, LittleBigPlanet 1 and Motorstorm 1, the only huge franchise Sony has that has never been mass bundled is God of War.
You're just an insignificant minority of haters. The series is consistently critically acclaimed, bestselling and beloved by millions of fans. In fact the God of War fan page on Facebook has passed 4 million fans today, not a lot of franchises have as many or more fans than that, it has more than LittleBigPlanet/ Gran Turismo and Uncharted combined.
And even if you don't like it you can't say it 'sucked' because obviously it doesn't, it's just not...
What being similar to a critically acclaimed, beloved and bestselling franchise is a good reason to pass on it? Are you stupid boy?
Nothing is a sure thing, if a game is quality and has a decent marketing campaign it will sell.
I love God of War so much! I can't wait for God of War: Ascension, the wait for God of War IV on PS4 is going to kill me and I can't wait to see what Sony Santa Monica's new IP for the PS4 directed by Stig Asmussen is going to be like, it's going to be awesome for sure but I wonder what genre it'll be in? E3 this year should have answers.
God of War will always be the best the genre has to offer as it does everything flawlessly, only Sony Santa Monica can top themselves.
Also God of War and Sony Santa Monica deserve every fan of the genres respect because without them the genre would be dead now. God of War inspired many developers and they saw that hack 'n slash games could be huge success' so that gave devs confidence to make their own.
The game will sell poorly. The DMC name isn't even big, it may have been a decade a go but times have changed and now the latest DMC game (DMC4) couldn't even sell half as much as its biggest competitor did (GOW3) across 3 platforms VS 1.
DMC's popularity has been in decline for a while now and this new rebooted DmC will be the worst selling in the series yet, even if it ends up being a decent game.
All I want is God of War: Ascension. It's going to be amazing in every way and will easily be my favourite game of 2013 if the single player exceeds or even matches previous games in the series. Also the multiplayer is fantastic! I loved the beta and can't wait until I can play it again!
Kratos is Sony Playstation's mascot.
God of War is Sony's most popular story driven franchise by miles and his character and equipment has appeared in the most amount of games outside of his own franchise. He has also been parodied the most as well where he was even parodied in an episode of The Simpsons.
Kratos is the most popular, recognisable, beloved character Sony has which is why he is their mascot but mainly for the older gamers, Sackboy is th...
Nope. God of War: Ascension will be the best selling in it's series yet and outsell Gears of War: Judgement which will be the worst selling in the series yet.
God of War: Ascension releases in 13 weeks and already has 124,819 pre-orders in the US.
Gears of War: Judgment releases in 14 weeks and only has 32,470 pre-orders in the US.

Not only is GoW:A far ahead but it's more than doubling GeoW:J'...
GoW runs at a variable framerate which stays around 50 fps by the way (even with full v-sync). The new DmC running at 30fps is terrible considering he series is known to be very fast pace and it isn't even close to being as good looking as the 2010 release GoW3 so there's no excuse to to have it running at 60fps.
It doesn't bother me because I'm buying God of War: Ascension next year, the developers of that series always deliver exceptionally well and would n...
It will be mine!
It's for 2012 game releases only.
God of War 3 is easily the most impressive sales wise (and the best PS3 exclusive this generation imo). It's a 10 hour game, launched during a PS3 shortage, had little advertising outside of the US, wasn't bundled for more than a week and has no multiplayer mode and yet has sold about 5.5 million copies to date thanks to amazing quality and word of mouth.
Uncharted is Sony's most bundled series of all time which is the only reason it appears to have sold as well a...
It's truly amazing what Sony Santa Monica have accomplished with multiplayer, it's fucking brilliant and it's still only in beta. The final game will be more balanced and polished as well as having an additional 3 modes for a total of 5 and a lot more customisation. I just can't wait for it to release!
I felt so stupid after playing the beta for doubting multiplayer in a God of War game, it works and it's absolutely great, the old and new fans are going to...
God of War: Ascension is by far my most anticipated game of 2013.
Why are some people so confused of what to do? Team Favour is the first team to reach 8000 points, capture the flag is self explanatory and Favour of the Gods is just a free for all mode with the winner being the first to reach 8000 points. I don't understand how anyone could be confused.
This preview had a lot of text but barely shared any useful information about the beta. I and the vast majority have been loving the beta, of course some things need tuning, polishing etc, ...
