God of War 3 details are coming!

I was recently sent a pretty detailed run down of what to expect from God of War 3... This is an actual build of the game and not the trailer we\'re all set to see at the VGA\'s. I am told that it will only be a very short glimpse of what the game is going to offer and will probably be further edited down to about 20 seconds if that. He thinks it could be so edited that if you blink you might miss it... 10 seconds, even.

Sadly, I\'m not able to go into as much detail here. It sucks, I know. But, at the request of the man in question and in hopes of building a better relationship with him in the future I will honor that request.

What I can talk about is this:


Graphically it is going to set a new standard. Easily eclipsing the detail in Gears of War 2 and uncharted... God of War 3 is set to offer up the most cinematic experiences ever! He was over the moon about how good it looked... he said there is nothing that comes remotely close. "The detail is crafted with highest of care and the animations sell the experience like nothing you\'ve ever seen" .

He was told that the game will be 1080P and 60FPS... He then said it was obvious the footage he seen wasn\'t, though. So, if they\'re shooting for 1080P and 60fps and haven\'t hit it yet that\'s a good thing... since the game already looks better than anything out there. This is a win for the gamers.

Kratos doesn\'t look like the only playable in the game. Apparently their might be someone along for the ride... His brother perhaps???

Gameplay remains somewhat the same but with tweaks that begged to be put in from the beginning. The camera is now placed much closer and everything is bigger and only on "certain" instances does the camera pan way out on you. He explained to me there are 3 new mechanics to the gameplay engine that drastically alter it for different players.

There will be an online mode... Gladiator mode and co-op are two he touched upon.

The area he has seen shows Kratos battling hordes of rotting corpses in a highly detailed cemetery. There is a a sea supplying eerie fog as the backdrop, along with dead trees and headstones. The sky has a reddish hue to it but real time storm clouds act as a blanket of night for the setting.

He said the zombies realistically came up through the ground, disruptting the dirt and clawed their way into battle. He said the detail and quality of work represented in this was something he\'d never seen in a video game before. After Kratos had ripped through the onslaught of undead he comes to a tomb and a battle rages on between he and a reaper-like boss battle.

Described as one of the most cinematic fights in gaming history, it came together by actual fighting, timed button presses but also another brand new mechanic he didn\'t elaborate on further.
He said the there will be100% be a playable demo for the PSN in the coming months ahead. Maybe sooner than later???

He ended it by saying the trailer we see at the VGA\'s isn\'t going to be anything to get too excited about and will end up showcasing very little of the game. And finally, while highly impressed with how the game looks and seems to play, he said he was hoping to have seen more than the cemetery in wish he feels probably starts the game off or finds its mark shortly afterwards. He said the fighting and sheer amount of enemies on screen is unheard of and was epic enough to open up the game, but he wouldn\'t be surprised if they didn\'t toss in something even bigger than what he seen.

maybe it was the "graphically set a new standard" comment that raised my expectations, but i was kind of disappointed with how the trailer looked.

going by those 5 seconds, whoever said it \'easily eclipses gears and uncharted\' is retarded

Mind you, the game is rendering at 1080P, 60 frames p/second...

Then again, tbh... the sacrifice are the graphics, evidently. Formally, some of the ingredients are there - a bit of normal mapping, somewhat higher poly models etc. Yet, it all looks very flat...

I think it\'s the \'flat\' lighting setup and the lack of high end shaders and high rez textures which make it look less than stellar.

So.. idk wtf Jaffe was hyping about ...

Looks just as good as god of war 2....which is good for ps2, bad for ps3....the game doesn\'t look bad by any means, but it looks exactly like the previous game...i really don\'t see a graphical upgrade.

I would go with 720p/60 fps for this game.  We\'ll see when the engine is more far in development.

[size=+1]God of War III Scans![/size]

[size=+2]First God of War III details emerge News![/size]
Quote

God of War III will see Kratos hop on and control mythical beasts such as Cyclops, crashing through hordes of enemies to get to objectives and solve puzzles.

And that\'s just one of the new mechanics in Sony Santa Monica\'s new game, according to a preview in the latest issue of GameInformer magazine.

The biggest challenge will be harnessing what the PS3 can accomplish. "We want this to be the game that shows people what the PS3 can do," game director Stig Asmussen told the magazine.

That means titans: enormous and ancient god-like beings that have been tussling with the Greek gods for a while. Whereas action sequences involving titans in previous God of War games were restricted to cinematic sequences, they\'re now integrated on a much more dynamic level.

Kratos - a tiny cluster of pixels compared to the full model of a titan - clambers up their immense frames as they rock to and fro, some even aggressively interacting as our hero ploughs forward. "It\'s not just a set piece anymore; it\'s a living, breathing character," added Asmussen.

As for Kratos himself: he\'ll be around four times as detailed as on PlayStation 2. "Kratos on PS2 was probably about 5,000 polygons, and now he\'s 20,000," said art director Ken Feldman. "We wouldn\'t even be able to load him on PS2."

The gnarled warrior also visually carries the scars obtained in previous God of War games, as well as some of the abilities acquired: the Golden Fleece and the Icarus Wings are mentioned.

There\'s plenty of room for him to grow, though. The skill-set has expanded to include a wider array of combos and grapples and environmental interaction like smashing heads on walls. And a brand new supernatural magic-type has been introduced, as relying on god-powers of the past would be thematically daft; the gods are no longer friends of Kratos and are unlikely to grant him any more power, so his magic will come from somewhere intrinsic, somewhere else.

Additional weapons also await, and Sony Santa Monica promises each weapon will feel completely different to the signature Blades of Chaos, providing real alternatives rather than quick-thrill distractions. The Cestus gauntlets are given as an example; these spout spiked balls on chains from their decorative animal mouths, causing shockwaves that throw enemies back on each hit.

Abilities such as those will come in handy, as Kratos faces much stiffer opposition than ever before. The developer reached around 12 to 15 enemies on-screen in God of War II, and has bumped that number somewhere closer to 50 on PS3. Enemies can also jump on Kratos, eventually weighing him down and smothering him. This can be broken by wiggling the analogue stick.

Multiple baddies will now coordinate attacks, too, or take orders from a commander to organise into formations. And, of course, Kratos will face boss battles.

"You can look at the cast of characters from the end of God of War II, and you can kind of deduce [the bosses] from that," hinted Asmussen. One confirmed battle will be with Hades, who rules the underworld.

Sony Santa Monica went on to confirm that God of War III will not have multiplayer, although DLC remains a possibility for the future.

As far as story is concerned, God of War III will bring the trilogy to a close, but the franchise will live on, although we\'re told it won\'t be "run into the ground".

God of War III is in development exclusively for PlayStation 3. No firm release date has been set. Sigh.
