Well I think God of War: Ascension will represent the pinnacle of what's possible on current generation consoles since the PS3 is the most powerful console this generation. What's the best looking game on PS2? God of War II, the PSP? God of War: Ghost of Sparta, the PS3? So far God of War III is still easily the best looking game and God of War: Ascension is going to top it.
The Last of Us doesn't look anything special imo, it has really bad image quality with ja...
Fuck that pathetic site and that parasite of a writer Tom, how dare they have the audacity to label God of War: Ascension a 'loser'. All the past games in the franchise were unrelenting masterpieces so why would God of War: Ascension be worse, after experience making 3 critically acclaimed God of War games before and now having the most time, biggest budget, bigger than ever development team and the technical know-how they are in the best possible position to make the best God of War ...
Kratos did begin to care for Pandora after a while, she was almost like his second chance at being a father and in his mind caring for and protecting Pandora was a way for him to make up for failing his real daughter.
It wasn't forced at all, all the characters he acts brutally towards are in his mind insignificant sacrifices that were completely necessary so that he could achieve his goal to kill Zeus and free mankind from the tyrannical and absolute rule of divinity. Hi...
I love seeing people who understand and appreciate the amazing story in God of War III. It has so much depth but because there isn't a narrator spoon feeding people information a small amount of people just couldn't comprehend what was going on and why it was happening.
I want Sony to do a remake of the mobile phone game God of War: Betrayal for the PS Vita, then I might consider buying a Vita just for that game... Huge God of War fan here, I only buy Sony consoles for God of War, all the other good stuff is just a welcome bonus.
Are you mental? Batman: Arkham City is a much more critically acclaimed game and won MANY more awards. Uncharted 3 didn't come close. And anyway since when were amount of award won an indication of a better game? Do you not have a functional enough brain to determine the better game for yourself or do you have to rely on others opinions? If the latter you're just a mindless sheep who should feel pathetic.
Hell, the most critically acclaimed PS3 exclusive of 2011 wasn&...
Uncharted 3 was a huge step down from Uncharted 2. I'm not even a big fan of Uncharted 2 (8/10 from me) but Uncharted 3 (6/10) is just a big step down in every aspect other than graphics, but even then Uncharted 3 was nowhere near a polished as Uncharted 2.
As NathanExplosion said, God of War: Ascension is the biggest change out of all the God of War games yet. The game looks so fresh with the new art-style, locations, enemies, gameplay mechanics, multiplayer and it has a new composer.
What you're describing is called a new IP, why would Sony scrap one of the most popular and beloved characters in gaming history, change the fantastic Greek Mythology inspired story when God of War is by far the most critically acclaimed and b...
NG3 failed because they changed what their fans loved to try and appeal to God of War fans since God of War dominates the genre like Gran Turismo to racing and Call of Duty to FPS's, so they thought they could grow the the franchise by appealing to a much bigger fan-base.
The problem is nothing else in the genre comes close to the quality of a God of War game and after hearing how bad NG3 is and playing the awful demo GoW fans didn't buy it, also the old NG fans were ...
The God of War series gets some hate, but it doesn't matter because they're just an insignificant minority compared to many millions of adoring fans that outnumber haters by at least 1000:1.
I guess some people don't like God of War because it's an American game that completely took over as the undisputed king of the genre in terms of sales, critical acclaim and mass of fanbase from the Japanese games like Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden which are both dead now...
I have no problem with QTE's when they're done amazingly like in the God of War games. It's not Sony Santa Monica's fault that after God of War released to massive critical and commercial success that other developers started using QTE's poorly and excessively in unnecessary ways.
Kratos is my favourite character. He's tragic, determined, courageous, direct and badass. We need more characters like Kratos and less goody two-shoes do-no-wrong protagonists.
I'm sick of mostly playing the overwhelmingly good guy who'd rather take the long way round to avoid confrontation instead of the move out of my way or I'll beat the living out of you approach Kratos takes.
Also Kratos has the most back-story out of any game character I&#...
I will only buy a PS4 when God of War IV releases, I'm not interested in any of Sony's other franchises.
1. God of War III
2. Killzone 3
3. Uncharted 3
4. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
5. Gears of War 3.
Runner up: Alan Wake, that game easily has the best lighting on consoles and has great looking dynamic foliage and environment effects.
God of War III is still the best looking game on consoles by miles, nothing out now comes close and not even upcoming games look better. God of War: Ascension is going to be face-meltingly gorgeous.
You are such a fool. God of War III released when there was only about 30 million PS3 consoles sold and to date God of War III has passed 5.2 million back in May 2012 and is now around 5.35 million and is tracking towards 6.5 million+ lifetime. God of War is now a more popular franchise than Zelda which is just declining in relevance. By the way, only a fool would trust Vgchartz numbers.
The God of War franchise dominates the hack n' slash genre more than any franchise dominates any other genre.
What's the highest rated & best selling hack n' slash on last gen consoles? God of War, this gen consoles? God of War III, last gen handhelds? God of War: Chains of Olympus.
Nothing else will ever compare to God of War. God of War killed Devil May Cry & Ninja Gaiden and everything in the genre since God of War released except for t...
Games will NEVER look as good as Avatar and Toy Story 3 which is very underrated graphically due to it's cartoony aesthetic, it's absolutely stunning looking. One day games might come fairly close but they'll never be good enough to be of film quality. Even the absolute best looking games today don't look nearly as good as Toy Story 2 from 1999.
God of War, this list is missing God of War.
The only franchises Sony owns that are the kings of their genres in terms of sales, critical acclaim and sheer amount of fan-power is Gran Turismo and God of War, nothing else Sony owns comes close.
God of War should be first for still being the absolute top franchise of its genre today, Gran Turismo should come second because GT5 was so disappointing and in terms of acclaim it has been surpassed by other games. ...
Oh well, the only hack n' slash I need next year is God of War: Ascension which is guaranteed to be a huge masterpiece. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is going to be amazing too so I highly recommend trying the first game and then you can look forward to sequel.
2013 seems to be the year of the hack n' slash, it's funny how all the hack n' slash games always release during the same year a new God of War comes out, they're hoping and trying to thrive off o...
