Nice, but the gifs and images really need to be aligned properly and the bundle image is stretching the forum for me, and there is rarely a greater crime than that, lol.
Where has everyone/anyone pre-ordered from?
I think after the slightly heated discussion in the other topic anything else would be robbing us of a great title.

God of War: Ascension |OT|Comes free with The Last of Us demo
Only special edition in NA is the one with the statue/steelbook/soundtrack.
Red PS3/controller edition is just the game with GoW saga.

Damn. I want the steelbook and OST but don't want the rest. Thanks!
Yeah I've been going back and forth on it. At least it isn't a 100 bucks or something.

Check out the part where the monster emerges from the hand. It suddenly cuts to a different angle and the color profile of the image changes slightly. It then returns to real time when the platform is ripped from the structure.
Go to 13:20. It's not as clear in youtube quality, but once you see it here it's obvious in the actual game.

It's a clever and mostly seamless use of pre-rendered footage.

Looks exactly the same to me and the gameplay never cuts. It is definitely real time i would say

The hand bulges, then the camera angle changes in a cut right before the monster bursts out.

The Best Buy pre-order says you get "Mjolnir"
Can that be used in single player or only multiplayer?

Exciting, I look forward to renting this when it comes out. I enjoyed GOW3, but not enough to buy the next in the series.

Okay, I see what you mean. Doesn't look like any difference in quality to me though.

Yeah, that sucks... I want that controller too!
It's using in-game assets and was probably a video to show a nice animation while cloaking some background loading for the sequence that immediately follows.

Great eye. You are correct. Everything else is in game.
Using metacritic as the basis for purchasing something is slightly absurd. No?
My favorite suggestion for an OT title comes from the reviews thread, though I forgot who said it exactly:
God of War: Ascension OT-Trophy Furies
It's like a triple entendre!
had this been post 79 I would have said this was a Joke post. But because your post is even lower than GOW:Ascension´s Metacritic score, I´m just going to pass on your post.

HYPE! Does anyone know how long this game roughly is? The campaign.

The Last of Us won't touch RE4 with a....well, something extremely long!--in terms of quality. That game was a masterpiece.
I was, too, then a guy who did an unboxing of the CE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS1LeoNO6_I) said the online pass, season pass, and the rest of the content are separate DLC codes. So at the very least, I figure I'd be able to sell the season pass for $20 on eBay if I don't want that content.

It's not supposed to look "better," it's probably just because that scene has too much going on to render at 30fps or something. They did the same thing in GOW3's intro and it was hard to spot there as well.
When you're playing the game on a TV in front of you, if you're looking for it you can see a slight desaturation of the color during the video part, but it's really no big deal.

I'm sure they said the same thing about RE4 when it was coming out.
that RE4 isn´t going to touch RE4..? mindblown..

In regard to The Last of Us, I think it quite possibly could be RE4 tier. It's by Naughty Dog who are one of the greatest developers around, it's by key members of the Uncharted 2 team, which is regarded as one of the best games this generation on any platform. The Last of Us seems to be doing groundbreaking work, in terms of A.I and random generated set pieces - stuff that could be a real game changer. I think it may well end up as the masterpiece of this generation, and seen as being just as significant as RE4 was back in the PS2 days.

And it blew everyone's minds when it came out. Not many games are that masterfully designed, and The Last of Us is being made in a time when cinematic presentation and gameplay are very popular. Don't crucify me, because I haven't seen a ton of the gameplay, but again, I'll be very surprised if it even comes close to RE4's level.

Yeah. It is funny, because that scene did stand out for me when I initially watched it, but I didn't not carry the logical explanation through. Good one
All I have to say is 'bless the chips'

perfect!
Wow, didn't know the Game Director is in gaf!

I'm sorry, did you say randomly generated set pieces? Did I miss some marketing material that I should know about?

I actually kinda DON'T wan to play any Last of Us demo. I'd like for my first experience with it to be the actual game. In fact, I haven't even read any of the other previews OR seen any videos released in the past month or so.
ditto. And MAN it's been hard. Trying to do the same with Bioshock.
