Behind the scenes of God of War: Ascension's multiplayer
The team behind God of War: Ascension has shared a behind the scenes videos showing how they started life on the multiplayer component to the game. The video spans over two years of the development process, and it's really cool seeing how freaked out some of the team members were in the beginning. It's understandably a stressful endeavor adding a multiplayer mode to a series that has only been known for single-player. The multiplayer beta is open to all PlayStation Plus subscribers now and I'm curious as to what you think of the multiplayer. I've yet to get my hands on it, but based on all the videos I've seen it looks like a super gory version of Power Stone.
