God of War: Ascension won't feature violence against women, after the E3 presentation was criticised for being needlessly violent.
Sony Santa Monica design manager David Hewitt told IGN that the violence has since been scaled back.
"There are some things we've pulled back from," Hewitt said. "I think where this has been an issue is with violence against women - the team's pulled back from some of that and assessed that a little more carefully."
"There are certain things that carry a different kind of resonance that we don't want to get into. This isn't about statement-making in that regard. It's about fleshing out this character."
