Technically this rumor has been around for quite some time, but there’s some new evidence thatGod of War IIIis going to have online co-op in it. Nick McCandless, fromThe Gamer Access, played theGoW IIIdemo and loved it so much he desperately needed more info on the game. He thus logged onto Sony’s Retail Loyalty Site, where those in retail can learn about Sony products by taking a quiz. There he found a very interesting question: “WillGod of War IIIhave online cooperative modes?” The answer was yes.
Before we all get really excited or really disappointed (depending on what you think ofGoWco-op) it should be noted that Nick “has quotes from developers just laying around” Chester was told by design director Todd Papy in February that multiplayer is “definitely something we’re looking into. But as far as any multiplayer experience, this is a solo campaign. Kratos has never really had a buddy for the trip so … but we are looking at downloadable content, and also Home support.”
Were they lying to us? Why would they do that? We even gave them a friendship bracelet after the last time theytold us things that weren’t true. Seems strange that Sony would be educating retailers with false information, though. If this turns out to be true, know this: Sony has broken Mr. Destructoid’s heart for the last time. He won’t suffer their lies anymore, it hurts too much.
