[PS3] God of War III Pre-Release

The trailer is great, Kratos is just so ridiculously badass.

 

The start of it is epic.

 

How long was GoW II ? And what's the average time to beat a boss (e.g., the last boss) ?

I am asking because I usually avoid long games even though I like third person view action game more than shooter. MGS3 would be too draining. Valkyria Chronicles is perfect for me because it breaks down the game into small morsels and the gameplay is deep and varied.

 

I would say between 9 and 12 hours depending on how good you are.

It's a great game though.

 

I am still buffering mid-way in the trailer,................................and its CRAZY guys !
This shit is so cooOOool !!!!!! Its all in-game coz it looks just like the screenshots, what a big difference watching the same stuff in motion makes ......... !
HOLY SHIT ! Watched it fully now ! THis is awesome...........I was guessing he must be on a Titan, but seeing it like that was just so cooOOooOOooL !
Nice............wating to see what daytime looks like !

 

God of War 3, my impressions of the game from the Sony event...

Normally I write something up for something like this, but this time I got the chance to put it into words for everyone--including my interview with the Design Lead. enjoy:

 

At work so I can't see anything but yes Renegade, the trailer was put together from in-game gameplay. Sony even made mention that they played the game for all media outlets to see so they would know that everything in the trailer they can do right now. Also Stig states the trailer was put together Fall 08.

I am so pumped for this game, and I haven't even seen the stuff released yet. Just all the impressions over the web.

 

DAMN!

 

Great trailer.

 

Just watched the new trailer. Wow. I can't believe some folks said it looked like a "high res GoW2". It looks really good. Though I neve really doubted the game since it's VGA debut.

It seems the trailers are 30 fps encodes, but the animations are very, very smooth. A little too smooth for 30 fps.
I also notice that some parts of the environment (some of the wall and ground textures) lack the advanced shaders we usually see in 30 fps games.
I'm dumbfounded at the fact that not one bloody preview has given us any kind of information on the framerate and native resolution.

 

Didn't Barlog state it would be 1080p?

That was almost 2 years ago though, so who knows if they are still shooting for/able to achieve that resolution. If these graphics are in 1080p, I'll be even more impressed.

The frame rate is still an interesting question though, since GOW1 and 2 both ran at 60 fps. I could imagine these graphics are achievable at 720p/60fps...? Regardless, I'm still looking forward to it!

 

I can't wait, this looks incredibly epic.

 

If everything is real, they should have shown a video where they freeze frame halfway and pan around. I love those things.

 

Supposedly this is an old demo, prepared in the Fall, whenever that was. Journalists did get to see the real deal. warcrow's podcast has some impressions of the non-trailer footage they saw.

 

Ha, I'm not doubting them. I'm asking for eye candy, my preferred way. That is all.

 

Holy cow, I just saw the 1080p trailer that I downloaded from PSN. It is truly amazing looking and I think it'll be a great game. I loved the first one, never played the second though. Maybe I should pick it up to catch up.

 

The trailer was incredible...the gameplay was WOW. Can't wait.

 

One of the most epic trailers I have seen. Really very good. The action, the graphics, the scale, and the music are top notch. Kudos to Sony Santa Monica!.
