God of War IV Set To Feature Online Co-Op - PSM3 INFO

[Fargo]

Following mounds of speculative rumors regarding the next entry in the God of War franchise, UK gaming magazine PSM3 has weighed in and reported that God of War IV could possibly feature online multiplayer co-op, in the form of a plot-line involving Kratos and brother Deimos attempting to escape from the afterlife. The information was provided in an article pertaining to the hottest PS3 titles of 2012, with PSM3 further hinting that the title is in development, and is coming sooner rather than later.

Rumors regarding the potential development of a God of War sequel surfaced in late-2010, with New Zealand retailer Mighty Ape publishing a placeholder date of September 28, 2012 for the blood-soaked title. Evidence regarding the unannounced title began to pile up with the emergence of a job listing by Sony Santa Monica, seeking a “Senior Staff Concept Artist” for a project called “God of War”.

PSM3 previously rumored the existence of God of War IV in mid-2011, with anonymous sources close to the respected publication confirming the forthcoming title, in addition to hinting at online multilplayer and a 2012 release date. As usual, take these rumors with a pinch of salt until further confirmation is provided. Check out the full details below, or in the January 2012 edition of PSM3.

“Why is it hot? It’s bringing double kratos to the series. GOW 4 was confirmed to PSM3 mid-2011 by a reliable source, and rumours point to a multiplayer twist. Mad idea? Online co-op with a (possibly) dead Kratos and (very) dead brother Deimos teaming up to escape the afterlife.”

GOW3 was one of my games of the generation so another game in the series is great news. Not sure about co-op mind

I'm seeing four Kratos's here

Blurgh, if this is really the best they can do with this series than I don't think they should bother. Plenty of potentially what with all the mythologies and this is really where they want to take the series?

Leave it until PS4

...PSM3 has weighed in and reported that God of War IV could possibly feature online multiplayer co-op...

Could POSSIBLY feature.

When magazines speculate and pass it off as solid info it damages their reputation because their content is no more reliable than bedroom blogs.

The series has had a sort of AI co-op bit once before so it wouldn't surprise me at all if they went down that route.

PSM3 is always full of rumours, so this is hardly gospel.

EDIT: Oh, and I don't really trust much of what they say now it's basically been revealed that they sometimes play through 360 code for their reviews.

I wouldn't trust our stores. Although MightyApe is a good shop.
