I looks like they didn't give Kratos the momentum he had in the PSP game. I liked it how in Chains of Olympus, he wouldn't just go from 0-his running speed instantly. He had to actually gain the momentum. Oh well.

I think I saw some Havoc physics in there but it's hard to tell - I saw some canned death animations too.
...

Developers at GDC09 said that God of War 3 has no physics processing.

I think that fans will like this game,it's obviously not trying to do something new,but who cares,you can rip off heads and ride cyclops...

the part at the end where he's riding up the shaft on the wind looks stunning graphically

The last 2 minutes looked awesome. I wonder why they didn't showcase that during the conference

It seems like they lengthened the combo slowdown

Much like Halo 3 was Halo 2 HD this is "just" God of War 2 HD.

but unlike halo 2 hd, gow2 hd is actually in hd and doesn't look embarrassing

bayonetta >>>>>>>>> this shit

bayonetta

Bayonetta is "Deviless May Cry" amirite? 

I hope Bayonetta is good and fresh but I think God of War just may have a bigger following and won't have the multiplat conciliation..

Bayonetta looks aight (now that I googled it) but wtf, how can you even dis Kratos in comparison?  He rode a cyclops to break a phalanx.  There is none pimp-er.

Unless this is one of those ironic posts that I miss because I'm from the land of lack of subtlety.

I think they're dissing GoW in general because it's gameplay isn't as good as most 3D action games. Just watch the last vid posted in the Bayonetta thread.

Gameplay is not as good, or gameplay is not as technical? It feels really fucking good beating up creatures in God of War, and the gameplay (combat and other aspects) is both tight and varied. It's not very technical or demanding when compared to other action games I've played, but it's a shitload of fun with an awesome feel to the combat, even the QTE bits. QTEs may be seen as cop-outs, but what they accomplish in these game is just fucking awesome. Other games will throw a QTE at you for performing some basic move, but in God of War it can result in you ripping out monster eyeballs, impale a Hydra head on a broken mast, or tear the armor off a giant minotaur.

And yeah, presentation matters to me. Music, creature designs, backdrops and architecture, they have nailed the presentation with each game.

I've always been mildly interested in the God of War series, but not as much to actually rent, loan, or buy any of the main PS2 releases.  Being a big fan for DMC and Ninja Gaiden also gave me a chip on shoulder. 

[Beezy]

It's not as good or as technical imo. I'm not saying the game is bad, I like what I played in the first God of War. Just not as much as NG or DMC.

[dammitmattt]

I've realized that in my old age I don't have patience for games like DMC/NG/Bayonetta.  A God of War 3 rental is perfect for me since I'll have a ton of fun for a dozen hours, I'll be mildly challenged, and I can send it right back when I'm done.

Looks boring. God of War is running out of steam.

[Cyanista]

GOW gameplay is amazing good, what are you fellows smoking?  Nevermind, I know.
