Just pre-ordered and paid in full the collectors edition.

Way to early for me to preorder I have a feeling that Ascension will be a disappointment.

I have the same feeling. Hopefully I'm wrong though.

Cool, but we're only getting multiplayer trailers. I want to see how the single player is looking like, more of the story.

[CrypticOne]

Does this game even have a story?! I thought they built it solely for multiplayer?

Multiplayer wasnt announced until after. Its a prequel to the GoW series and will deal with Kratos' original deal with Ares

Hmm. I thought they already did that with one of the PSP games?

I think you are referring to Chains of Olympus but Ares wasnt a part of that story. That one dealt more with Kratos' daughter and took place about 10 years after serving the gods

Oh that sounds interesting.

You can get the code for the multiplayer at IGN. I already downloaded mine.

EDIT: Just played it and it's not bad at all. I had fun. It certainly will extend the life of the game, but I still would never change the single player experience for this.

[Iceman]

I expect I'll think the same. At least it looks a worthwhile addition.

[Havok83]

I played it last night and I have to say, Im not impressed. Maybe i need to spend more time with it but that one match I was in, wasnt really fun

Nice. Finally more on the story mode, because we've seen almost nothing.
From what we can see, they certainly are trying to craft a more relatable Kratos.

[Superhero 101]

For some reason the lighting in this game or something is throwing the visuals off for me Nonetheless the teaser looked pretty good.

[Havok83]

Single Player demo coming next month. Open Beta for everyone this Tuesday. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/...-limited-time/

Also here's the final image of the CE

[Superhero 101]

I wonder if its the same short demo that came with total recall

Let us know what you think of this bundle in the comments below. Will you be picking it up?

Big fail on this being $349. Sony STOP releasing expensive bundles. At this point $299 is the most any PS3 should cost. Releaseing one now that is $50 more than the current most expensive version seems counterproductive and makes this bundle seem like less of a deal

Did you play any more since then by any chance?
