Same monster from the E3 trailer or no?

Yup it looks like Charybdis.

[Sn4ke_911]

People are saying it's this creature http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charybdis

Good to know there are an unlimited amount of mythical creatures to take from :D

[apesh1t]

These graphics make me wonder if the new Metal Gear Solid is really possible on the PS3

[LastNac]

And Kratos already fought the Kraken in GOWII so this can't be the same one. .

SSM Delivers when they fucking want to.


God of war fans will love it.

[Seventy_X_Seven]

P.S: As I said in the previous thread, DID KRATOS GAVE A HINT OF A FUCKING SMILE in that teaser? Finally.

Hope he's less of an asshole in this game.

This is something I always wish Santa Monica would explore more. Despite how angry and jerkish Kratos is, you get glimpes of the man inside throughout the series. The flashbacks during GOW1, the scene where you find he last surviving Spartan (other than himself) and then imagines his wife in GOW2, and pretty much the entire ending of GOW3. Now this teaser. Before he lost everything, Kratos was a loving husband and father and also had a strong patronage for his city. Glad to see hints of them diving deeper into this, make Kratos more like-able.

However . . .

Wait, Kratos is with his family despite his family being on him?

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Kratos did have the war paint before the ashes curse so maybe the lighting is just bad, but that was definitely a little odd.




Also to further add onto what everyone else has been saying just to emphasize the point,

THIS IS THE KRAKEN (GOW2) THIS IS THE CHARYBDIS (GOWA)

Too bad the Scylla has already been used in a GOW game, would of been sweet to fight them both at once.

[meta4]

Please top GOW3's opening SSM. I know it's hard but if anyone can its you!

[B.O.O.M]

LOL Kraken actually looks 'cute' compared Charybdis!

[Just_Tank]

The lighting is not bad, lol, and the skin tone is on purpose as it relates to the timeline of this story. For now, i'll just remind you what we've posted here:

http://www.godofwar.com/game/

BEFORE HE WAS A GOD, HE WAS A MAN

Vengeance is born in the fires of betrayal in this prequel to the best-selling God of War franchise. Six months have passed since Kratos stood over the bodies of his wife and child, his hands stained with their blood - tricked by Ares into murdering the only people he ever loved. Swearing to avenge them, Kratos broke the blood oath that bound him to Ares, but oaths to Olympus are not so easily broken... Sentenced to an eternity chained within a prison for the living damned, Kratos battles insanity at the hands of the Furies. He will be tested as he seeks freedom, redemption for his sins, and the clarity to avenge his family.

As far as SCALE goes...don't underestimate us, hehe. The opening of the game will have an EPIC God of War "scale". It'll be a different type of "scale" feeling than GOW 3 with Poseidon, but you'll know what I mean when you play it.

-Tank

[strafer]

Gooooooooooooooood, I don't remember Kraken in GOW2.

[ced]

That looks like a giant snake in the foreground.

[Gsak]

I am going to keep my lips sealed tight right now about what you saw in the trailer, i'll just say...that's barely...barely scratching the surface. You know what we do. we do God of War, it can only be EPIC...there can be, only chaos!

I know I'm repeating myself but please, let there be Typhon/Typhoeus in Ascension. If done right (and I trust you will do so), this could be essentially be Kratos vs Greek Cthulhu.

I know. SSM never disappoints.

[strafer]

Hey tank, can I ask you something?

Are the same people that did the score for GoW3 back?

I loved that score.

[Sid]

Damn! and just to add to the above point

[beast786]

SSM Delivers when they fucking want to. God of war fans will love it.

YES I WILL

[jett]

Really, only a 30 second teaser for a game is being released in two months? Yet we get hours of multiplayer footage. Who's making dem decisions at SSM?

What I saw looked all right, actually, it doesn't look as impressive as GOW3.

HYPE HYPE HYPE!!!!

[Endo Punk]

There are ways to top GOWIII without going bigger and bigger. But I fully trust SSM to combine the best of GOW1,2 and 3. Man this teaser is exactly what I needed, looks so damn amazing, just when I think I have had enough of this franchise something comes up that blows my mind.

BTW don't skimp on the tatas. It's GOW tradition damn it!

[Wynnebeck]

jett Mr. Negativity

This definitely looking to be on par or better than GoWIII. I just think it's because the game looks softer compared to the "hardness" that came with GoWIII's art style that may throw people off at first.

[MrTroubleMaker]

To short but great!

[Just_Tank]

Yes, 30 seconds right now, really...that's how we roll. We've got plenty of time to ramp up and have far more in store, this is just the beginning.

Did someone say snake scales in the background =) One of the true powers of a God of War game, is things are not always what they may seem...

Cheers,

holy shit I trust you man. You better not let me down or there will be hell to pay ;)

[Himself]

Am I the only excited that SSM isn't blowing too much before release? I wish more companies would be more secretive about what's in store. I hate feeling like I've already played a game before getting my hands on it because everything was revealed.

[Carl]

Tank always delivers

How the fuck do you guys make a game that looks this good?!

Edit: Naughty Gods better watch out.

He's right, no need to tag-quote him.

It's a short teaser with barely any footage, game is two months away, it may look on par with GOWIII as you say ( then again how would be know since we barely have footage, outside of a few, literally, few frames of singleplayer ) that doesn't negate the fact that it still might not be as impressive as GOWIII which keep in mind is several years old by now.

Seems way more impressive so far, at least in graphics and the art we have seen

Are you guys speaking graphically? Cause I think it definitely looks better than GOW3...noticeably so.

In terms of quality, we'll have to wait and see.

God of Uncharted

A collab between ND and Santa Monica. ^^

[Endo Punk]

The Boss fights in Revenegance look insanely good so up yo game son :P And I hope we get boss fights like Hercules in GOWIII, one of my favourites.

[Alligatorjandro]

Looks awesome.

Let me bring something up:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhon

Typhon was described in pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheke, as the largest and most fearsome of all creatures. His human upper half reached as high as the stars. His hands reached east and west and, instead of a human head, he had a hundred dragon heads; some however depict him as having a human head and the dragon heads being attached to his hands instead of fingers. He was feared even by the mighty gods. His bottom half was gigantic viper coils that could reach the top of his head when stretched out and made a hissing noise. His whole body was covered in wings, and fire flashed from his eyes.

Hype.

[Lifejumper]

Wasn't Typhon in God of War 2?

Oh shit!

HYPE!

[ViewtifulJC]

This could be better than GoW3

but I'm still waiting on a sequel better than GoW2

[keltickennedy]

[Carl]

Wasn't Typhon in God of War 2?

Yes...but i don't think we killed him...

[Wynnebeck]

Wasn't Typhon in God of War 2?

Oh darn! He was in GoWII. Then what creature in mythology could potentially have scaled tentacles that large? I mean that things was almost as huge as Cronos from GoWIII!

[Sid]

So that's why Typhon was pissed in Gow II?

[Phaethon0017]

There is nothing wrong with that. I've only played GOW3 this gen and I'm really looking forward to more.

This. Don't get the hate. I love every minute of the games. Just so short.

Also, that elephant thing must be Ganesha! Hindu gods confirmed :P.

[SltyPoison]

No one does scale better than SSM. I know the game is going to be awesome but the million dollar question now is can this top GOW3's opening. Is it even fathomable.

The real million dollar question is, what if they do?

[Katana_Strikes]

Is IGN down right now?

Can't get in there.

[gibration]

[Wynnebeck]

So that's why Typhon was pissed in Gow II?

What if you imprison Typhon in the mountain in GoW:A which makes him want to kill you in GoWII?



We gotta go deeper...
