Learn how Kratos comes to life in this video
In this new video from Sony, we get a further glimpse into the motion capture process, specifically in regards to how Kratos comes to life in the upcoming God of War: Ascension. I don't know about you guys, but I can't get enough of these mocap videos -- I absolutely loved the ones from Devil May Cry 3 (my favorite!) and the Uncharted series. As for the game itself, however you may feel about the relevancy of the franchise in 2013, God of War: Ascension is looking great so far, and I can't wait to see if it tops God of War III's fairly disappointing conclusion.
