Hopefully Kratos learns how to work through his anger issues in this one.
As for the Hades stuff its possible you people will be hearing Nolan North again since he did the voice for Hades before.
Nice Hades boss battle spoiler there, UGH shouldn't have opened this thread :-\lol, BAWWing over action game "spoilers"
Hopefully Kratos learns how to work through his anger issues in this one.
Anyway, are the enemies still damage sponges in this one? Because if so, kinda want less.
I haven't played enough of any Ninja Gaiden to know how the two compare.
That's a great cover.

I feel like I'm required to buy this game as a PS3 owner. This system doesn't have anything else worth getting. :-\::)
Except when they are not. Pretty much 99% of multiplatform games have shitty textures, vaseline filter, worse framerate than the 360 version.Really, that's not true. There are some significant exceptions, but most of the ports are very much on par.
X360 exclusives are nothing more than downgraded PC ports.
Halo: Reach is on the PC?
Fable 3 is on the PC?
Alan Wake is on the PC?
Come on man you are better than that.
PS3 has GoW3 this year and that's that.
Heavy Rain will be another Liar with 6.0 reviews.
GT5 is probably 2011 in the States.
FF13 is on 360.
Third, you never answer my questioned! :-\
You seem like a pretty informed individual. What do I have to look forward to on the PS3 for the first quarter of 2010?
I am picking up Heavy Rain but that's a QTE-fest, not really a game.Shit, even the developer admits it isn't a real video game :lol Interactive movies, ohboy ohboy
It's as much a real video game as any old PC graphic adventure. If you consider Grim Fandango or Monkey Island 3 a video game then so is Heavy Rain. :) Heavy Rain seems like an evolution of that formula, really. Will they succeed? Let's wait and see.I am picking up Heavy Rain but that's a QTE-fest, not really a game.Shit, even the developer admits it isn't a real video game :lol Interactive movies, ohboy ohboy
Batman X360 wasn't superior. Most multiplatform games are basically the same nowadays. Only Bayonetta was an odd one.
Most X360 exclusives can be played on the PC, in superior form. While Ps3 has real exclusives.
Gaming PC + Ps3 is actually the best combo you can have.
DMC4, Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden 2, Dante's Inferno, God of War 3 and Bayonetta.
This combo is only available on the ps3. :smug
Fable 3 is on the PC?
Sure would be nice to see the footage that those screens are from :punch
Another bog level :gloomy
ah. so that level does take place on a Titan. I figured as much.

More God of War games after GOWIII confirmed...
I wonder what they'll do to the franchise after this trilogy ends. :-\
it was in the fucking trailer, whats there to figure :lol
the screens are getting me a bit excited. i'm sure i'll love it once i get my mitts on it. haven't even bothered to DL the demo though - after finishing the other 3 games, i feel i already know EXACTLY how it'll play.
Those screens look great, but 30 fps :-\.
Nice,a PS3 bashing thread :)
PS3 sucks,has shitty hardware and no games.

Yeah demo is same old GoW but it looks FUCKING AMAZING. The trailers really do not tell the whole graphics story. If you have a big HDTV and PS3 you simply have to play the demo.
Well I don't :gloomy
:bow Same awesome stuff with better graphics :bow2
God of War :rock
Badass QTEs :rock
It's just the same exact game with better graphics...i feel like i'm the only one who's not hyped for this (excluding hardcore xfags)
i remember that live demo they did at sony's e3 press conf and how it basically put me to sleep...same exact shit
At least Sony tries to make the games look better with each installment. Can't say the same towards Nintendo and Bungie. They basically also do the same shit again, minus enhancing the graphics to the max.Bullshit, H3 had the best lighting engine this gen. Underwhelming in everything else tho.

Good shot showing what I'm talking about:I keep hearing this, and I don't get it. The game looks mostly flat. I don't know what exactly people mean by "lighting" these days, but if the end result is excessive bloom and flat presentation, and the lack of AA is supposedly a direct result of the lighting engine, then it can't be that grand.At least Sony tries to make the games look better with each installment.

he game is inches away from scoring 10/10, and it's only the familiarity of the core gameplay that makes it feel less than the very, very best. But it's definitely the biggest, and if this is the finale (and the corpes littering the stage by the end of the game suggest it might be), then God of War III gives PlayStation's toughest hero the send-off he deserves.

"Simply one of the best games of all time!

Forget the demo, you will almost pity, forget everything you saw until then, because even the great Nathan Drake (Uncharted) will falter. The god of war has hit all his power on the PS3 and after him there will be only chaos."

Overrated developer. SCEA Santa Monica's only masterpiece is God of War for the Playstation.
Game is great and really fun but it's exclusively for and bought by the Otaku marketI feel a little insulted being lumped in with those neckbeards :lol
:droolseriously? the game looks good but the textures look crappy in those shots. it's probably because the camera is too close or the specular maps are overdone or something but they look too fuzzy or washed out.
Seriously, this game is going to own.

Discount GPU strikes again! The game is actually only running at 720p and the system upscales it to 1080.

The developers were hyping it to be native 1080p.
They even tried it:
"We evaluated 960*1080 and decided that we preferred the look of 1280*720 along with our AA. If you force your tv to 1080, the game will upscale and run just fine. But it will just be upscaling the 720 image.
As far as the back of the box is concerned we tried not to be deceptive. But I guess ended up just making it more confused! Sorry about that."

I think the game looks great and I know I'm going to play it but the God of War games were never ones that I felt satisfied with buying them at release. I'll probably get it around summertime or maybe I'll just rent it in few weeks.I'm just renting this one. I bought both GoW 1, 2, and Chains of Olympus on release dates. With the GoW games, once you finish the single player there's not much else to do. The Gametrailers review said it clocks in at around 9 hours. Still the attention to detail on the gore is unbelievably impressive. Some of the best looking spilled entrails and eye gouging I've ever seen.

Just played the demo. Was epic but I've never loved the feel of GOWs combat. Only a rental for me, I'll buy Bayonetta instead once I'm not such a dirty poor :-\
The thing I liked the most about the demo were the QTEs and riding the troll. That's how shit the combat was. Clunky as fuck, Bayonetta needs to school Kratos's slow ass sometime. Also Kratos has some seriously weird walking animation (when you're holding the head of Helios for example). I did get used to the combat again pretty quick (been a while since I played GoW) but I still can't help but think about how much better the game would be if you could cancel moves and string together more dynamic combos. Also the dodging is a little broken.
Great looking but feels stiff.

The final game offers way less in the way of clunky combat. Lots of things I found annoying about the demo were addressed. And if you want dynamic combat, wait until you get all four weapons. It's insane the amount of things you could do now.
Also just finished the game. In two words: BALLSLAPPINGLY AWESOME.

I don't mind the ending. Kratos has been a dick since the 2nd GOW.
His constant bitch moaning gets on my nerves. I wish the 3rd game lets the gamer fight Kratos instead. It would actually make sense because Kratos would try to destroy the entire world just because he's a selfish asshole.

Dont tell anyone, but I hear it plays just like God of War
And looks at least three generations better than the best looking X360 game.
Holy fuck at the graphics.
And it will get outsold by 3rd party, multiplatform 360 games 5:1.
Do we really have to system warize each game's thread?
Is the first level the same as in demo?Nope. That's a bit farther in to the game plus at that point in the game you don't have the weapons you had in the demo just yet.
Is the first level the same as in demo?
1st level was kinda meh for me, mostly because of that part where Kratos has to fight that horse creature from a hanging position. The controls + camera angle made it hard to move Kratos around but I guess the devs knew that since all you have to do is keep tapping attack. It just wasn't a very fun section to play. Luckily, the Poseidon fight is not far behind and really picks things up.I hated that part too. :maf
Did you guys beat it yet? It is a freaking God of War game, what's taking you so long.
Casuals
It's not like there are any other games to play for a while. Resonance of Fate if you're into tri-ace rpgs and then...nothing until Splinter Cell next month I think?Sakura Wars, dode.

After the intro section the game gets really awesome and stays that way until you finish it. Even just the things they put on screen to look pretty keep getting more and more outrageously good looking.
I think I liked it more than the past two games. The combat system is better than past games, the pacing is better, and there are less annoying sections where smaller enemies stop you from doing a simple task like turning a crank.
One thing I really liked about the combat wasspoiler (click to show/hide)that all the weapons are on chains like the default blades.[close]
Jumping stinks in this game. I don't know if it's the software or the Dualshock3's squishy analog buttons but I never seem to be able to jump right when I want to. I can't count the number of times I fell into a pit or fail to jump over a boss's attack.
Also, GOW3 uses double jumps, which I really hate. Who the hell invented double jumping? It's one of the dumbest things ever. Not only is it counter-intuitive in terms of physics, it does nothing to improve on platforming games with just single jumps.

Games use double jumping because it makes platforming easier since you can correct your jump in mid-air.
The first level of the game is usually the most worked on in a normal development schedule. Considering how technically complex that entire level was, I'm sure it was tweaked all the way up until the final milestone. The demo was the E3 build so they really didn't have much time in the final 6 to 10 months of development to even consider polishing the first level for public consumption. I would say they did the right thing but most likely it was the only option they had.
It depends on the team and whether or not demo production was reasonably calculated in the project, but putting together a demo while you're rushing to meet deadlines is very hard work. E3 demos are usually special case and the team is working directly for the publisher so I'm sure Santa Monica had plenty of time to prepare an E3 build.
The level design in this game is right up there with the first game, and much better than the second. The Cronos fight is one of the coolest levels I've ever seen, and there is just enough backtracking (much like the first game) that it makes the entire game cohesive. The second game was much more like, go to point A then point B to point C, etc. with no cohesive reason or recurring environments that tied it all together.
Anyways, I am on the shitty Zeuss fight. Other than this one and the scorpion (which was shitty because sometimes it wouldn't recognize when I was hitting the legs :-\), the boss fights have been good.
also,spoiler (click to show/hide)it doesn't make any sense why Kratos feels attachment to Pandora. They had an opportunity to make it seem like Kratos was confusing her with his daughter, but they didn't. Instead we are supposed to believe that Kratos has a conscience all of a sudden >:([close]
Okay, I beat it. The Zeuss fight actually isn't bad. I think I died a total of 10 times throughout the entire game on normal difficulty. Easiest game in the series by far. The game was just the right length, never overstaying its welcome. I much prefer the easy endboss fight in this game, as opposed to the shitfest in GoW 2 and the not fun Ares fight in the original.
As far as feeling like Metroid, I agree with that. I was thinking that it felt more like a Zelda game, getting newer items and weapons that unlocked areas in environments that you had already visited. Pretty cool
Maybe you're just on a lower tier of gaming ability...Yup. The QTEs are more intuitive and forgiving that in the previous two games. Perhaps you need to go back and play the previous two games Bebpo. I just replayed them last weekend, so I played the entire series from beginning to end in less than two weeks back to back. GOWIII is by far the easiest game in the series. There are no difficult platforming sections, and you have newer and better moves while the enemies have alot of the same attack patterns (best example of this that I can think of is the guys that go underground and spin like razors. They used to be a bitch, but now you can use L1 + O to grab them out of the ground). Game is ridiculously easy, Demi right again, Bebpowned, etc.
Anyways, started playing - about 3 hours through. Game has some amazing set pieces but i think i'm suffering Kratos fatigue. The whole angry got-to-kill-everyone thing is so fucking boring now that i'm rolling my eyes every 5 minutes. As a character, he's really outstayed his welcome at this point.
also, is it just my controller or is the double jump a little flakey?
I mean, sometimes it seems pretty hit and miss as to whether it happens or not - been driving me nuts.
i've been playing GOW1 via the collection recently and I'm up to the Poseidon's Challenge portion and FUCK. i remember having such a terrible time getting past this. basically you fight fire shooting three headed dogs. it's one at first but it's little spawns will grow to full size if you're not quick (which you never are). so you basically have to fight up to seven of these things.
plus the little spawns have unblockable attacks and they swarm you.
been stuck on this for three days
Yep, drives me crazy. It just seems to fail at random. I've fallen down so many random pits as a result of this issue. Not game ruining by any means, but it definitely shouldn't be present. Would be nice to see a patch address this.also, is it just my controller or is the double jump a little flakey?

Luckily it's not just you and me that are having problems. If it were only the two of us, people would probably think that we're just being fud-spreading Xfags. In the most recent RebelFM podcast, those guys were having the same problems with the double jump.
I was trying to play GOW3 in front of my friends yesterday but gave up after several embarrassing falls into the pits. I don't think it has anything to do with framerate as the double jumps aren't responsive even during areas that are running smoothly. The devs fucked up majorly. How could such a glaring problem be missed for a game this big?
also, is it just my controller or is the double jump a little flakey?
I mean, sometimes it seems pretty hit and miss as to whether it happens or not - been driving me nuts.
whats funny is that the only part in GOW3 that gave me trouble was when you have to fight the three headed firedog and the double sided axe goats. fucking firedogs.
But I think GoW2 is still the best in the series though by a good margin. It felt bigger and ended on a stronger note. I'd put GoW1 around a 7.5, GoW2 around a 9 and GoW3 around an 8.5
Despite GOW2 having a more intricate plot, the story is superior in GOW1 because Kratos is still a somewhat sympathetic character. In GOW2, he starts becoming a raging distinguished mentally-challenged fellow that only gives a shit about his revenge. It's like, stfu already about your sad past, you're not the only one that's ever been screwed.
Kratos was never a sympathetic character from day 1. In the very first level of GoW1 you kill the boat captain for no reason besides being a total asshole. Kratos is an unlikable jerk but that's the whole point.
GoW2 has some amazing boss fights, the best stage design and locations of last generationWe're going to have to agree to disagree. The colossus level (while cool) and the horse level are only superficially large in scope, which is the same as Pandora's temple in the first game. Yes, it takes place on a titan's back, but it doesn't matter from a gameplay or any kind of interactive perspective. It merely serves as a cool backdrop. Where Pandora's temple does shine is that while progressing through (which is the meat of the entire game), you keep unlocking new areas located in the temple while having to backtrack through the same main hub area, which creates a much more cohesive experience than the ADHD levels in GoW2.
Despite GOW2 having a more intricate plot, the story is superior in GOW1 because Kratos is still a somewhat sympathetic character. In GOW2, he starts becoming a raging distinguished mentally-challenged fellow that only gives a shit about his revenge. It's like, stfu already about your sad past, you're not the only one that's ever been screwed.:bow this man knows what I'm talkin bout. The first story is also better because it is more minimalist and much of the plot is a mystery through the majority of the game. While not in the same league, the brand of storytelling is similar to Half-Life 2 or Portal. The game doesn't go into great details to explain why things are the way they are, instead they offer well placed bits of narrative scattered throughout the campaign. The story in GoW2, which much more detailed and intricate, is overshadowed by "raging distinguished mentally-challenged fellow" Kratos. The titans versus Gods stuff is cool, and revealing the narrator to be Gaia was a cool twist. Still not as good a story as the original game
Nope, but I got the superior version of Bayonetta when I picked up FF13. I won't play Bayonetta immediately since I like to switch genres between games but I have high hopes for it. How challenging is it, compared to normal difficulty in DMC4?
FINALLY received the goddamn copy. Had to email amazon and everything.
I don't man, why am i supposed to be excited at the beginning? It's a waste of an amazing sequence, it's like the initial Transformers 2 sequence. It doesn't click, because there's no build up.
You are supposed to feel amazed just because you are supposed to, because you saw those videos. I finished God Of war 2 2 or 3 years ago, you can't just cut to action like this.
Terrible.
XFE's get delayed codes.
what a boring ending.yeah, it was pretty terrible. I liked the overall game though
Swaggaz, hook me up with the Phantom costume code. Sony, inept as usual, still hasn't send me the code.
Zero, blame the XFE. He deserted his troops. As much as it pains me, it's my duty as a Xbot prince to follow. :'(
Hook me up with the code if you still got it, bro. I guess I'll be keeping GOW3 for awhile. Gamestop offered me $30 for it when I checked a few days ago. :rofl
This double jump glitch is driving me insane.

whats funny is that the only part in GOW3 that gave me trouble was when you have to fight the three headed firedog and the double sided axe goats. fucking firedogs.
Just beat GOW1 for the first time (got about halfway through it years ago when it went GH), now playing GOW2 for th first time.
