Why Kratos Is Saving Civilians in God of War: Ascension

02:58 : is that eye of the fate ???? << they said it's a prequel of the GOW series

As long as they don't half *** the story, I'll buy it (standard edition). It looks like what they should have done with the PSP games or what they could have done if the first two games had been released for PS3. I like the combat moves from the previous games they added.

Are they counting the civilians that would just be running around in some areas? Because those cases it was purely your own decision if they lived or died so I don't think they should count. Most of the civilians it was necessary to kill to progress such as the guy on the wall near Helios, or just unforeseen consequences of killing gods such as the flood from killing Poseidon or the plague from killing Hermes. The only unnecessary killing of a civilian I can remember is in GOS when he drops a block on a guy trapped in a crack in a wall.

@HipHopBeats Well there's secondary weapons that can be picked up, a new kind of rage meter, a new temporal power, new enemy types, new part of the story, no prompt minigames, multiplayer and elephant brains. And that's just what we've seen so far. As for how easy it is, that's what difficulty settings are for.

Kratos is in rehab after killing his father Zeus he decided to seek help by taking Prozac.

Kratos saved a man?? probably a bug that will be fixed in the final version

I like how people say "nothing we haven't seen before." Is that what people say about the CoD series too?

I didnt want a prequel. Save Kratos!

best games best character Kratos best everything of all time

he only saves him because in the end he knows hes going to die anyway lol

Seems awesome

he saved him by mistake

First off, let me say the God of War series is undoubtedly one of my favorite in modern gaming history. Kratos is one of the best anti-Heroes of gaming and I don't care what anyone else says, but especially knowing the 1st and 2nd story lines, GoW 3 was one of the most epic and satisfying games I'd played in years.

On that note, this trailer excites me just as much as it bothers me. It looks awesome, but...more like GoW 3 awesome. Pretty much the ONLY thing I was hoping they could improve on was enemy reactions to your hits. I hated beating down someone my size or slightly bigger with chains only to have them run through it or stand there like nothing is happening. Doesn't even have to be as accurate as, say, Arkham Asulyum, but that general idea. Just seems so PS1..

Otherwise, it looks to be just as epic as ever. Undoubtedly I'll still buy it and play the crap out of it...

As a die-hard GOW fan, I simply cannot wait for this game. :))

The Sony classic

Can't wait for this

I think what they meant is Kratos saves a civilian...... for later, meaning that he didn't want to eat them right now, but save them for when he's a bit more peckish.

that's the only saving the Kratos I know would get involved in.... ha ha

He's got some crazy gorilla arms in this game but his facial animation is awesome. Not sure I understand the explanation of the quicktime replacement on the elephant-man.

Demo Stars: I was like " hmm same thing, better animations, different style and graphics, doesnt looks anything like GOW 3 hm..

"Kratos saving a civilian from an incoming spear thrown by a satyr."

me: HOLY COW O.O!!!!

I can wait to see the fan arts in devian arts XD

Kratos saving a civilian? Must've been hard for him

i played the god of war demo 12 times which i was like this will ruin that part of the game, but i shouldve played it 80 more times cause it didnt cause god of war is the best series to me in the world, next to resident evils, silent hills, gears of war, halos, and of course any game that comes from the maker of heavy rain , and uncharteds, by the way last of us is looking to be game of the year stuff, and alot more my taste than uncharteds

On the one hand I have a pretty strong, "Why are you selling me this game again? Buying it three times already wasn't enough of my money?" On the other hand I feel like Smithers in the episode where Lisa makes a doll but Barbie wins doing the same old thing, "SHE'S GOT A NEW HAT!!!!!!!!"

I don't get the point of this game. I thought they explained his past in the main trilogy. Not to say that the gameplay doesn't look good, but it can't match the epicness of the third game.

well, i know i'm buying it.

The graphics look a bit better, gameplay somehow renewed...well, just hope the story is good!

lame as can be i don't care how kratos was "nice" back in the day... with knowing how stupid this series ends this game can just fall off a cliff and commit suicide kratos you emo pos you deserve nothing but the worst hate imaginable

Looks more like God of War: the lost levels to me

Even before this article, I'd guess it's before he was betrayed over and over again, after a while your just gonna have enough of the bull s*** and stop caring about everything.

I almost forgot about this at the Sony show, blinkin heck, don't know what happened, I didn't mention it in my last comments, sorry Sony Santa Monica =/

lol I thought I was the only one that noticed Kratos actually push that guy out of the way. I was like "WTF KRATOS!! HE SAVED A MORTAL'S LIFE..."

Was I the only 1 that noticed that f**king cool reversal power that he had?? You can even used them one enemies...I'm totally trying that sh!t out!

@Gelugon_baat he doesn't mind elephant brain though

when the prompts came up, to press "X" "O" etc......i noticed my thumb twitch as if i was actually playing lol way to suck us in, with this eye crack!

GOW is awesome,

I'm just not too found of yet another prequel. I would rather have the sequel to the last one, but oh well.

I just hope this is the last prequel that they trow at us to milk the franchise, because i want to play a sequel to the GOW 3 but if they keep trowing at us more and more of the same it will enventually lose it's magic and then the chances of a GOW 4 will be lower :(

looks awesome... good thing i have a PS3
