God of War 3 downloadable content likely Challenge Rooms
God of War 3 DLC may be additional downloadable Challenge Rooms, according to game director Stig Asmussen in a recent interview with GamePro.
After asking about multiplayer and online support, Stig is then asked about the re-appearance of Challenge Rooms/mode (which is assumed to return in God of War 3) and how they have evolved or been upgraded for God of War 3.
Here is Stig’s long answer:
“OK, we’ll talk about online, which is one of the things we discussed earlier. It would make a lot of sense to be able to download them. That’s something we might see in the future. So, maybe you’ll see the game ship with a certain amount of challenges on it, then later on, we might put a download pack out with new challenges. It’s a good way to keep the series going.
We have different enemy types to work with, and the enemies do a lot of different things. Challenges are usually based off mechanics that are built in the game, so all the new mechanics will allow us to do different challenges.
For example, now that you have creatures you can ride, maybe we’ll put in a challenge where in a certain amount of time you have to get on a Cyclops and kill a certain number of enemies in a certain amount of time. Or, maybe you have to use the Cyclops to get through a certain type of hazard or area or something like that.
So, the new game mechanics are what allow us to create new challenges. Those are something that we usually do really late in development, and we haven’t even started on the challenges yet.
There are some ideas in people’s heads and other ideas on paper. It’ll be interesting to see what we come up with in the next two months.”
