Game WQ : G.O.W : Ascension

The single-player will feature a "revamped" combat and weapon system, "promptless" mini-games and new puzzles. Sony stated the game will offer "fluid, life-like characters, dynamic lighting effects, and world-changing scenarios", although the story is "a little bit shorter" than previous games.
At E3 2012, a single-player demo showed Kratos with an ability to manipulate the environment to create usable platforms from wreckage, pick up weapons on the ground (or in the backs of corpses) for use against enemies, and apparently rewind time. Kratos can now slam the ground for a devastating area-of-effect attack. It also showed a new enemy, an elephant-man and a gigantic tentacled sea creature, possibly a kraken.
The story will focus on a younger Kratos, driven mad after being tricked into killing his wife and child by the god Ares and now seeking revenge. Joystiq confirms "players will be introduced to a more human Kratos than ever before" with director Todd Papy stating that the game will be "[giving] people a look at [Kratos'] human side so fans can relate to him better and understand some of the stuff he went through when he was younger." Papy also confirmed that Kratos will have the "Blades of Chaos" and that the story takes place after Kratos sold his soul to Ares.
