Co-op in God of War III?

Sakaguchi: GOW III Opening Too Long [16]
Mascots Of Our Time [39]
GOW 3 Ultimate Unboxing [35]
Remember ages ago when everyone thought that God of War III would have either co-op or an online mode? Then remember when Sony confirmed that there would not be any online modes? Then can you also remember when they said that it would be good to have some DLC in the form of Challenges of the Gods? Can you also remember a time when you just saw that a game had come out, you bought it and there was none of this on/off confirmation of modes? Ahh. Good times.
Well the latest chapter in the “Does God of War III have online?” saga has arrived. Someone on thegameraccess.com is claiming to have played through the demo and then logged onto Sony’s retail loyalty site where they undertook the God of War III test. I had never heard of such a site, but apparently it’s there to educate retailers and their employees on the features of upcoming titles. Upon reaching the question about online co-op, they were surprised to find that the quiz seemed to think that there was co-op.
So it’s confirmed!(?) The negative Nancy within me tells me not to believe it. Which I don’t. Though somewhere there’s a naive little Lorcan who thinks “Goodness gracious! It must be true!” but like I said, he’s naive and should not be believed. He thought that Metal Gear Solid would never end up on the 360 and we all know how that turned out…

That would change the dynamic of every battle and be the ultimate swine to keep secret. I’ll go with him being mistaken… For now.

No thank you. I’d rather not have Co-op it kinda ruins the dynamic. Unless of course it’s something totally different, kinda like MW2.

It could be the quiz-thingy that just got it wrong.
And I really can’t see how they would do this and still have it make any sense. Kratos doesn’t have many friends.

i definately agree. i just dont see how it would work. it might be fun, but hopefully it would be like a bonus or challenge map and not the main story. co-op in story mode would just be kind of stupid.

Ow sweet, a dlc addition is always good in this form. They just shouldnt touch the story based game with a co-op buddy, wich Im sure they wont, cause if they do…. The game is ruined.

Is it possible that this was put into the quiz to try and mislead people? or perhaps its something there considering (either for the game itself or as dlc) and they want to see how people will react to it.
I agree with everyone else though, i dont want co-op on a GOW game.

I hope it turns out to true, as I love co-op. I’d probably still play it through on my own first, but the co-op mode would add another dimension to it.

I couldn’t even begin to imagine how co-op would work…I mean for starters who the hell would the second player be? And who in their right mind would want to be them over Kratos? Then there’s the way the game plays. Ridiculously fast paced with weapons flying all over the screen. How can you get a cohesive bit of co-op play out of two players wildly button bashing? It just doesn’t seem to make sense.
There would need to be a whole separate story to go with the co-op by which one player plays as Kratos and then the second player would take control of a character that is in context with each individual level who can help Kratos take down some of the larger foes and bosses easier…just a thought.

It would be good if it did have online but the image on the link can easily be mocked up. I could get my 11 year old brother who knows nothing about Photoshop to do it.

No no no not GOW co op for GOW is a big mistake what they hell are they thinking?!?!?!? DLC is fine by me for a “god” challenge mode on that highest difficulty and nothing else! That’s all I need for a GOW game.

As Kratos is a god killer they’d never be able to have a second character strong enough to keep up with him so what they’ve included for the co-op PC is Krato’s pet poodle. Player two controls “Captain Squeeky” to follow Kratos around so they can yap at the enemies making distracting them allowing Kratos to rip them limb from limb.
