Before each multiplayer battle, players choose to align with one of four gods: Ares, Hades, Zeus, and Poseidon. The game introduces online multiplayer for the first time in the series. Three new relics are also introduced, giving Kratos the ability to manipulate time, create a "shadow" self, and remove illusions created by his guardians.
Rage is gained through attacking enemies and when the rage bar reaches its max, Rage is automatically unleashed and lasts until the player stops attacking or takes damage. Like previous games, Rage is featured in this new installment, but with some changes. For example, the Ice of Poseidon allows the player to breath under water. Each discipline provides a unique ability to the character as well as imbue his weapon with the magic. Kratos can now learn up to four magical disciplines, which include the Fires of Ares, Ice of Poseidon, Lightning of Zeus, and Soul of Hades. Kratos is still equipped with the Blades of Chaos, but now is able to pick up a few different weapons through the new weapon mechanic called the World Weapon system. The game uses essentially the same hack-and-slash combat system from the previous games. Subsequently, Kratos is imprisoned and must fight his way out of his bond between him and Ares. When Kratos is tricked by Ares into killing his own family, Kratos abandons Ares, breaking the blood oath between Ares and Kratos. The player follows Kratos, the protagonist of the other games, who is the former servant of the God of War, Ares. Good to know, chief.God of War: Ascension is the seventh installment of the God of War series and serves as a prequel to the games. The 5MB listed on box back is for save game only.” This information comes from Sony Santa Monica technological boss Christer Ericson, who Tweeted: Now, Sony fans have another big-name title to add to the “no install necessary” folder: Despite clocking in at a hefty 40GB, God of War III won’t require anything beyond a simple 5MB install to save your game. Some games are managing to get around the issue thanks to some technical wizardry, such as the mammoth Final Fantasy XIII. Devil May Cry‘s 20-minute install time may have been the extreme exception rather than the rule, but it’s still a bit of a mood-killer when you take the shiny new game from the package, put it in, and … have to sit for a few minutes before getting to play. If the powerful PS3 had just one hardware weakness, it would probably be the system’s need to install data for most of its games before you get to actually jump in and start playing. Good news, God of War fans: The final game in Kratos’ bloody revenge trilogy will completely avoid the dreaded scourge of PS3 games – the hard-drive install.
