Honeyslug's Hohokum has put in a fair few appearances at games events over the years, even scooping an IGF nomination in 2011, but the particulars of its release have been a mystery until now. The Frobisher Says! dev yesterday revealed that it has teamed up with Sony's Santa Monica Studio to bring it to PlayStation 3, PS4, and Vita in 2014. It's lovely.
God of War: Ascension is a return to Sony Santa Monica's familiar hack-and-slash action series. However, with God of War 3 raising the bar so high and closing the book on Kratos' journey of revenge, Ascension sorely lacks the marvel of the previous games.
It's hard not to get impressed by the awesome scale represented by God of War: Ascension. While Santa Monica Studio's latest is a prequel, it manages to match the epic nature of God of War 3.
Sony Santa Monica has unleashed the Manticore from God of War: Ascension in a new nine-minute "making of" trailer showing how the massive monster came into being from concept art to animation, and footage dating back to 2010.
Sony Santa Monica Studio director talked about the studio's attempt at moving away from Kratos, and what ultimately brought them back to the franchise.
God of War: Rise of the Warrior tells the "untold story" of Ascension's multiplayer mode. This social game/graphic novel is also your chance to get early access to the game's multiplayer beta.
Want early access to the God of War: Ascension multiplayer mode? Sony has just announced a global beta for PS Plus members.
God of War: Ascension allows the team to create a more "likable" Kratos--someone you could "somewhat relate to." At least--according to the game's director.
Seth Killian, co-founder of the EVO fighting game tournament and former Capcom man, has signed up with Sony Santa Monica Studio as lead game designer for fight 'em up PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale and other games developed externally.
God of War: Ascension may not be ready until March of next year, but that hasn't stopped Sony from announcing pre-order incentives and a Collector's Edition.
