From skimming the thread I think there was a media event today (and Sam's reaction) but the press embargo is in place until this Friday. I'm in Europe so cannot recall the timings (it was PST or EST or something).

I'm pumped for this game, GoW2 was mega-awesome. Damn, Uncharted 2 and possibly this game this year, good stuff for a gamer.

New God of War III info from Gameinformer...

There's like 8 pages on it. Here's some facts on it...

- Unlike God of War 1 and 2 where there are only 15 enemies on screen, there will now be around 50 this time.
- You can ride monsters like the Cyclops and "control".
- Kratos on the PS2 used 5,000 polygons, now he uses 20,000.
- They made the weapons "better" so it adds more variety. Like with a different weapon, you don't get just a couple different attacks, but a whole different play style.
- The lion gauntlets are called Cestus.
- Enemy AI's are a lot smarter. Some of the enemies will be "commanders" and control the other grunts.
- Enemies will look different, even if they're the same type. Like, even though the skeleton soldiers are in the same category, they will have varied looks, so it's not like everyone looks the same.
- More boss fights than GoW 1, but less than GoW 2.
- No multiplayer.
- Hades boss fight confirmed.

I only skimmed through it, so I'll add more stuff to it if I missed anything when I fully read it.

Awesome. Boo to the fewer bosses though, I recognize that they mean lots of design effort but I wanted to fight every Olympian and every Titan. GoW only seems to have about five of each, which is cool because nobody wants to fight Hestia anyway.

Hopefully we get to take down the Gods in boss battles.

Actually, I bet the game has a God trying to take down a Titan and your goal is to scale each Titan (level) to reach the God (boss).

Nah, it'll be more varied and awesome than that and, of course, Kratos needs to die at some point so he can fight his way out of Hades (again).

They should switch it up by having him fight his way into Hades this time.

Real interesting stuff there, especially regarding the weapons. Alternate weapons in the previous games were just crap.

Just as long as the enemies have decent AI.

I hate when it just feels like you're cutting grass. Please don't make GOW3 a lawn mowing sim.

The 'commander and grunts' bits seems to hint at that. Although I personally have nothing against large-scale mayhem against powerless fodder. :D

I am the only one thats a little dissapointed at less boss fights than GOW2. Personally i rather take less enemy per screen but more boss fights.

That Said...


I will sell my First born child to play GoW3 right now.

Fewer boss fights is fine with me (even though I want to fight every Titan and every Olympian) if they're all up to the quality of the Colossus, the Kraken, Euryale, Zeus, the Minotaur, the Hydra, or the Fates. Perseus, Theseus, the Barbarian King, and Ares, even though they had fun finishing animations, weren't as epic as those others.

I get the embargo, but what I don't get is why you'd set the same embargo for yourself? I guess they don't want to scoop the press and piss em off.

I don't get the embargo either. What is the reasoning behind the 3 day delay?

I don't think I want more enemies on screen. I don't want to see GoW3 turn completely into a button masher. I liked fighting few enemies and brutally killing them in interesting ways. I fear wading through a hoard of foes will diminish that aspect.
