BEFORE HE WAS A GOD, HE WAS A MAN

Vengeance is born in the fires of betrayal in this prequel to the best-selling God of War franchise. Six months have passed since Kratos stood over the bodies of his wife and child, his hands stained with their blood - tricked by Ares into murdering the only people he ever loved. Swearing to avenge them, Kratos broke the blood oath that bound him to Ares, but oaths to Olympus are not so easily broken... Sentenced to an eternity chained within a prison for the living damned, Kratos battles insanity at the hands of the Furies. He will be tested as he seeks freedom, redemption for his sins, and the clarity to avenge his family.

I reckon this might just go very nicely .

Anybody got a beta key for this? - I get mine on the 18th! I got put on the Trojans side in the "Rise of The Warrior" and the Spartans won so they got their beta key already while Trojans have to wait until the 18th! FFS!

Anybody want to trade? lol

[Axe99]

lol, sorry Outlaw, can't help ya, but very interested to hear how it goes.  Trojans weren't all bad either, probably would have been nicer to live with than the Spartans .

[spectre51]

I get on the PS+ beta next year then, interested to see if I will enjoy the multi-player which if I do I will pre-order it if not, I'll wait until it gets cheaper.

[Outlaw]

Possible Horde Mode in GoWA? Or online Co-Op.

At around 3:40 you can see the players are killing gorgons. Could be something similar to the 'Challenge of the Gods' that are featured in all god of war games but co-op!

That would be fun.

I love the GoW franchise, ever since GoW1. It's visceral, uncompromising epic tragedy. This multiplayer, on the other hand, is God of War Smash Bros Brawl style. I don't like it.

I was a little annoyed and worried when i first heard about the multiplayer in God of War as well, but its actually quite fun to be honest. Just takes time to get used to, specially the Team games, like the Capture the Flag - its good fun.

I gave this a try today but didn't get a match it said that the best time is near 7pm but I got caught up in Batman and missed it and as such am only having dinner now.

Based on my performance in the tutorial I have a lot improvement to be made.

Looks pretty awesome!

I had forgotten how fast these games get into it. I've been playing the latest DmC and it's not helping at all. I need this now.
