Creator and director of the original God of War, David Jaffe, has expressed his thoughts on the recently revealed multiplayer<\/a> for God of War: Ascension, as well as his lost co-op plans for the series.<\/p>\n

The online multiplayer will be a first for the epic god-killing series, and despite fans worrying that the single player will suffer because of it, David Jaffe is confident in Sony Santa Monica’s abilities.<\/p>\n

“I think it looks cool,” he said to IGN, reflecting on the footage. “It looks like another great, impeccably executed Sony Santa Monica game.”<\/p>\n

Speaking about the concern for the single player’s quality, Jaffe said: “I think that anger is well deserved for people who have felt that way for certain games, but I think so far — you know what I was Tweeting<\/a> about was — Sony Santa Monica, and certainly that team, really hasn’t done anything ever to let people down as game developers.”<\/p>\n

David Jaffe also revealed some of his previous ideas, most notably when he was considering co-directing God of War III, which was possibly going to feature co-op.<\/p>\n

Although he never needed it, Kratos was maybe going to have a sidekick throughout his adventure, with the co-op explaining a different spin on the fiction.<\/p>\n

“It was kind of like a hyper-violent, screwball comedy where they hated each other but they had to work together — which [was] totally stupid.”<\/p>\n

We agree.<\/p>\n
