The beginning was pretty funny. But i guess it can offend some lovers of the medium.

I'm streaming 4 cameras at the same time. Best part of this whole thing! The King Camera is filming the babes, nice.

At the same time i'm re-enconding a 8gb HD video. Love me some quad core.

Dante's Inferno? Is this a Devil May Cry game?

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Obviously I know What Dante's Inferno is, I'm seriously asking if this is the name for DMC5 or DMCWii
[close]

No.

It's a new EA game, it's supposed to be a pretty big deal, as many movie studios are already "fighting" for the adaptation rights. And the game hasn't even been announced.

LL COOL

Also if Dante's Inferno is EA doing DMC like how Dead Space was EA doing RE than consider me excited.

I don't quite understand why their camera work is so bad.

Yes i'm watching this because it's gonna have stuff we haven't seen.

That God of War 3 stuff looked cinematic, but will have to wait for the HD video on GT to make anything out of the graphics.

Man this whole thing is fucked up.

The streaming from the cameras is out of sync by like 20 seconds. And the motherfucker camera man, must have a carrot up his ass, because he ain't filming the trailers right.

Post by: cool breeze on December 14, 2008, 09:55:52 PM
It does look in game to me, but (hopefully) early or just not the best looking footage.  Why would they break out worse CG than the E3 trailer?

I still think it looks good, just not the 'best looking thing ever rawr' or anything.

Pretty sure Jaffe is talking about some "Look in the horizon" kind of shit.

And for that...ugh..games this year already did that well. Force Unleashed, Gears 2 for example, all had that kind of "Omg look in the distance, looks fucking amazing" shit.

I bet that's the origins of the comments but we will see.

What's a "painting" style, though? I guess I need more than this little screen here, but I'm not sure what's supposed to look better.  Well, at least not while still looking decidedly like God of War. I don't get the defense, or the criticism.

If anything, I'd say the vengeance shit is getting a bit long in the tooth. It didn't feel relevant in God of War II, and even less now.

I thought God of War was hot because it was so insanely, over the top brutal, in a mythical sort of way. It helped that there was some justification for all the brutality. Not sure what he's still so pissed about.

Well yeah, I'm fucking pumped because I loved the shit out of God of War II.  Best PS2 game I ever played, both in looks and gameplay.  But people are kidding themselves when they say in its CURRENT form, gow3 looks better than NGII or DMC4.

I don't really care either way, but I like to see the PS3 fans try and jump and people who merely say "eh."

Right, but it feels pretty petty at this point. Oh no, I don't get to be the God of War, let me kill everything! Compare to the first one, I mean, being tricked into killing your own wife and child, that's just fucking cold. And definitely something that warrants some surliness.

I don't know, did something else happen in the PSP version?

PSP version takes place before 2

Kratos is basically finishing what he started by destroying every God and Mt. Olympus

I assume GOW3 is early in development. It'll look good once it comes out. Right now it looks like an Xbox 360 launch game

Uncharted 2 looked glorious though and I'm no sony dick licker

Seeing Mafia and playing Fallout makes me yearn for a good Deus Ex game.  I have no faith in Eidos Canada doing it well on a shoe string budget.

Do these guys just have their gif makers open for special occasions?  It's near instantaneous.

Kratos still has a lot of people to kill in God of War 3.  First there is Zeus and some other major ones, then there is his brother mentioned in God of War 1.  Plus you're probably gonna be killing Hercules at one point also.  And Hades.  Hades is most definitely gonna get killed by Kratos.

Eidos has Batman Arkham Asylum as their biggest game in 2009, so maybe that could get them some cash.

And the Double Lion fists in God of War 3 look awesome.  The Giant fist from CoO was the best weapon in any God of War game and now there are two, and both are lion heads.

I don't think 1 game is capable of saving a company though. And with the credit situation the way it is, if you're slipping, you might as well just pull the plug because ain't nobody gonna save you. :(

Deus Ex is one of those games that really didn't need a sequel (or, as time will prove, a prequel). Unless they were going for something wildly different that only shared aspects of the game world, like its sociopolitical history, with Deus Ex. I guess that could have worked.

I have no idea.  That game could be on hold for all we know.  But after Far Cry and Fallout I now have a jones for some open world cyberpunk.

It'd be cool if Ubi Montreal absorbed development on it.  But God after trying to play PoP I am remembering how uneven there stuff can be.

It doesn't have to be Deus Ex in name.  It's more that thematically, I want some cyberpunk open world gameplay.  There's a lot more a dev could do with the new tech in these consoles (and PCs lol), and anything cyberpunk would be accused of ripping off Deus Ex, so why not just use the name?

God of War 3 looks good, though expected more based on Jaffe's comments.

You don't play a Tim Schafer game for the graphics (would he really get the budget for that?), but for the writing and its quirckyness.

God of War 3 looks pretty good. It's not the "painting come to life" Jaffe called it, but the majority of the shit he says is pretty distinguished mentally-challenged so I wasn't expecting much.

God damn it I will personally fuck up all the God of War haters in this thread.

God of War is the best franchise PS2 ever had, next to Final Fantasy.

God of War III looks sick :drool :drool :drool

I'm with you.  I never heard about Jaffe's comments before I saw the trailer and I was pretty damn impressed.  Looks a hell of a lot better than any action game in existence or coming soon.  Great lighting, great modeling, great animation.

GoWII was  :omg If they pull off GoWII scale environments with the graphics in tonight's teaser, GoTY 2010 indeed.

Yeah i think Krato's character model is pretty shitty. The normal mapping is very noticeable, notice the abs, just ugly.

Doesn't have shit on Dante/Nero.
