GoW: Ascension’s Collector’s Edition Revealed

Wasn't the CE announced a while ago? Just look at Med's post about five posts above yours. It's also been listed on Amazon, Gamestop, etc for months now.

I didn't post on this earlier, but I am NOT looking forward to the online component. I am waiting to see what ACIII brings, but so far, a single player experience driven by story (yes, GoW is brutal, mind-numbing fun but there is also a mythological component that is entertaining to many) doesn't do well when the attention is split between the two. I'll remain confident and I'll still buy Ascension because it's GoW, but I hope nothing is lacking from the core experience.

I hope not either, but I felt the same way about Uncharted 2. When they said that it would have multiplayer I scoffed. It ended up being one of my favorite multiplayer games of this gen. I'll reserve judgment for now.

I'm more concerned about the single player suffering, but either could happen. You don't want a throwaway multiplayer experience that is for sure, but GoW is a single player game from the start, so I hope they don't forget that.

So the MP is basically a fighting game with 3D maps? Yeah, I can see myself never playing that.

By the way, is this one of the games you can pre-order at Best Buy and get $20?

Yup

I need to get on that. Along with Bioshock.

God of War: Ascension PS Plus beta takes a stab at January 8 launch

That PlayStation Plus-exclusive multiplayer beta for God of War: Ascension has been dated for January 8. Those who participated in the Rise of the Warrior social game and were on the winning Spartan team for the game's first team challenge can check out the beta starting today. Losers on the Trojan team can check out the beta starting on December 16.

The multiplayer beta for God of War: Ascension is composed of two modes: team Favor of the Gods and free-for-all Favor of the Gods. These modes task teams and individuals with reaching a certain requisite number of points, "earning points via kills, bonus brutal kills, opening chests, capturing domination points, and, if you're skillful enough, performing executions using the Spear of Olympus," the PlayStation Blog reports. The map featured in the beta will be the Desert of Lost Souls, seen above.
