*God Of War 3 Thread v2.0 + Interview Stig Asmussen

Seems like it was complicated to them...didn't the devs state that it took a year+ to do?

 

Indeed, copied some of the comments here for lazy surfers.

 

That's probably how Splinter Cell 2 had a level that was a moving train, if I recall correctly.

Isn't the worst case scenario that you have one or two additional matrix multiplications per moving object?

 

NaughtyDog mentioned that the problem is non-trivial.

I suspect the calculations cascade through the different subsystems (environment, AI, animation). And then they are left with lesser time to render the graphics.

 

Didn`t see that info before

 

I was wondering if the giant plot hole at the end of GOW2 is explained in GOW3. Since Kratos can go back in time all the way back to the war between the Titans and the Olympians, and all he wants is to stop the nightmares from killing his wife and child, why doesn't he go back in time where he killed them and stop himself, or even go back and stop making a deal with the gods altogether? Is it because all he thinks is "RAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGEEEEE" and not very smart? I know most stories with time travel have huge plot holes, but they're usually explained with "you can't change the past, or you can't change your destiny"

 

It's a videogame with a B-movie plot. Well, C or D-movie, if even that. Just enjoy the ride and don't take it too seriously. Read a book if you want a good story!

 

Maybe because he wan't to punish his "own" father? If you remember GoW 2 you would know that Zeus has killed kratos in the very beginning of the game, and he use the time travel to go back and defeat Zeus....It's not only for the nightmare, it's for the betrayal of the olympus.

 

Apologies if this has already been answered, but is the following footage realtime or pre-recorded using the game engine then played back to mask loading times etc.

Wow in German it sounds SO much more epic!
Anyway i'd be very surprised if it was realtime. It's in-engine for sure but it can't be realtime. Can it...?
It does switch to gameplay at about 3 minutes.

 

I believe its realtime. It IS GOW afterall.

 

I don't know if the first three minutes are realtime, i think it's in-engine but pre-recorded.

 

I think so. The rest is real time i think (when poseidon jump down from the olympus). It's an unbelievable sequence, very epic, imho the best so far.

10/10 from Game Informer

 

I think 2:36 is probably where it transitions to realtime, then pre-rendered again from 3:40-4:30.

 

I just looked at that video and WOW. I was already going to buy the game.....but I just have to say. The way the game switches from cinematic to game play is so seamless that I'm at a loss for words.... to the point where if the HUD didn't pop up, It would a take a few seconds for me to figure out that I had control of Kratos.
