The Monster Hunter franchise is massive. It may not have sold by the bucket load in the West, but in Japan it is one of those games you have to play. Owners of a PlayStation Vita and a PS Plus Membership can now recreate a day on the Bullet Train by downloading Monster Hunter Freedom Unite for free.
Think you are the god among gods in God of War: Ascension? Think again! A bunch of co-op specific weapons have been released today on PS3 that add their very own kickass co-op moves into the mix.
The latest entry to the God of War series, God of War: Ascension, has been out for almost a month now; providing players with plenty of opportunity to play against each other in its competitive multiplayer modes, or cooperatively in the "Trial of the Gods" mode. As with other games that have some combination of competitive and cooperative modes, your avatar's levels and progression carries over in both modes. So if you sharpen your blades in the competitive world and then decide co-op is more your pace, you don't have to start all over.
Longtime fans of God of War and lovers of co-op rejoice! God of War: Ascension will contain a special cooperative mode that can be played with two players. The mode is called the "Trial of the Gods," and it is the first cooperative mode in a God of War title to date. The trial will find you teaming up with another champion in order to survive five waves of enemies in a timed event.
After hearing the announcement of the upcoming prequel, God of War: Ascension, we found ourselves looking at a video of a God of War multiplayer mode for the first time and hoping for some co-op love.
It's Twenty Twelve, the future is now, and the rumors are flying! The fact that God of War IV is happening should come as a surprise to no one. Game franchises never die so long as they're popular profitable (sorry, Shenmue). I don't care how may Greek gods you kill off or how little sense it makes, Kratos is coming back.
Wow! Who knew the Spring time could be so jam packed full of gaming goodness. We've got the most reviews ever in an issue of Beyond Co-Op, stack in at eight high with the likes of God of War 3, Final Fantasy XIII and many, many more.
Sometimes it sucks being right, but it looks like that was the case when we posted about the possibility of online co-op play being in Sony's upcoming game God of War III. The source was an official Sony retail training program, which contained a quiz for the game. In the quiz we were asked - "Will God of War III have Online Cooperative Modes?"
With The God of War Collection hitting the PlayStation 3 this week with remastered graphics and trophy support, it appears rumors have resurfaced that God of War III will contain an online cooperative mode.
We had been hopeful of co-op somehow being included in Sony's upcoming mega smash sequel, God of War 3, but now we know for sure. In a recent interview with God of War 3 director Stig Asmussen, CVG asked if co-op would be included in the game, perhaps even in a patch. The reponse was quick, harsh, and to the point, much like Kratos himself.
