Why do none of the Greek God of War games have functional New Game plus (except Ascension, the one thing that game did right)?
GoW 1 and 3 don't have it at all (including the remaster of 3), and GoW 2 has a fucked up version that only lets you replay with all your stuff on difficulties you've already beaten.
Devil May Cry 1 had the perfect New Game Plus system figured out in 2001, GoW 1 came out 4 years later, there's no excuse.

@Indigo Maybe time constraints. You also have to debug and find the right balance.
@xianc78 Very possible... But I still don't think that flies for GoW3, especially not the Remastered version.
It's just bizarre to me because I consider NG+ to be near a crucial component of the spectacle fighter genera, to have it missing in one of the games that established that genera is... odd.

@Indigo You'd expect the same for Zelda since the first game included a second quest, but most of the games don't have one.
Lucky for me though, it's something that I won't have to worry about as a gamedev because I plan on making roguelike elements a staple for my games for here on out.
But what's GoW2's excuse then? Maybe having things like The Blade of Olympus and Maxed Magic created balancing problems with the higher difficulties (Made them too easy)?
But even that I don't buy, just rebalance the numbers to accommodate, or just say fuck it and let me have fun.
And I really don't get why they didn't add that in the GoW3 Remaster, that just came out a few years ago.
It's a nit-pick yeah, but... It irks me. I am irked.
