God of war 3 had up to 40-50 enemies on screen at the same time, but that happened once in the entire game I think (in the Tartarus).
Lol at the cgi trailer btw.
Yeah, i mean how would you fight with hordes of enemies with Handed weapons like Axe or Swords , unless untill there are weapons which can be Extended for long range swirling attack like Blades of Chaos... wait a min.. omg!!

Not the best video IGN has done. I mean get the info correct.
They didn't show a CGI trailer last year at E3, it was live gameplay on stage, also Kratos has always been a father, not just in this one.
I'm really looking forward to this new GoW, the change up is very welcome after 6 games, makes it feel fresh again and it's looking fantastic with the highly detailed characters and environments. The musical score should be pretty epic too.

You keep talking about God of War as if it's Bayonetta or something, when it isn't. It's pacing wasn't fast, nor was that what made it unique in Sony's first party lineup.

He showed that demo behind closed doors to journalists and confirmed that what they saw at E3 is only 2% of what that section has in terms of content and secrets:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=207296445&postcount=1260
The demo focused on the exploration side of the game rather than just the combat. GOW is no longer a bland classical hack'n slash but now it is an advanture game with RPG elements.
I don't know if he showed this behind closed doors but I like how he made Kratos throwing his axe on an enemy sticking him to a rock, and you can continue the game without it by punches or another weapon and when you want to call it back, even at the middle of the game, you can see it coming back to you from the place and direction you left it specially if you are in higher grounds. Cory made the programemrs crazy by asking this but they accepted and made a greta code to store such data in the memory.
I clicked on the video, and in the ~second sentence the guy said that the game was unveiled with the CGI. I immediately closed the browser tab.
Damn it IGN, at lest try a bit.
CGI? He said them shits twice.
IGN continues to be the gold standard lol.
Too late. I'm pretty sure no bewbs/sex mini games have been confirmed
Doesn't mean the game won't be bloody fantastic though.

How would you come to that "2%" Quote, What I thought was that they showed the same demo behind closed door , but with a lot more exploration and explaining.
Yup , Those axe combos and mid air stomp is really great to watch.

It is really known.
I think you missed all the infos about this game.
It is hard to find almost 1 year old infos scattered around.
By googling I couldn't find the exact place. This person highlists it too: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=207567357&postcount=50
Ask him if you want.
I think it was a video interview after people starting looking for secrets and he said they barely found 2% of secrets in this demo.
Maybe the IGN E3 video interveiw with him.
Feel free to check if you have time.

Shows how good the segment was that a big reputable (puke) gaming site like IGN got it confused for CGI.
Ok, you are talking about the Easter eggs and hidden content , i thought you were implying that the demo we see at E3 presentation is only 2% of what was shown behind the door.
Yeah, there are lots of hidden easter eggs in the game , and cory himself comfirmed this on twitter , like this Lady

Well, that demo didn't show even 1% of the game: https://twitter.com/corybarlog/status/758221340662898688
The game must be very rich and varied.
Hopefully this E3 Demo will take place in one of those new areas, finger crossed.

Also The game environments are very dynamic and alive and you can interact with everything much dynamic the environment elements will be: I loved the fan like plant. You can cut vines by throwing the axe to create bridges and walkways (this axe is very useful even for retrieving far objects). The flora is either: a foe attacking you or you can regain health from it:

This reminds me of the flora of Xen in Half-Life where plants attack you or light the path or heal you.
The plants seems to be the titans of this game. Look how tiny Kratos is compared to them. There are leaves that are basically the ground you walk on.
This is surely very demanding to achieve.
The artworks show that area. I am sure they will show this.
Because the artworks and ideas seem very impressive.

I really hope they add Multiplayer (after the multiplayer job lisitng). A good way to keep the game alive long enough in such lush environments.
Multiplayer won't hurt it at all. It did neither for Uncharted games nor TLOU.

Anything or all. Horde mode could work since the engine allows multiple enemies now.
Coop maybe like in Uncharted games allowing people to play as Atreus.

We can safely say that last year's most surprising and impressive reveal was GOW in terms of tech, direction, suspense, artistic and level design etc... the symphony, the direction, showing Kratos, the new settings, ideas and gameplay.
I wonder if they can top that this year or there will be another contender to take the crown.

No. This year is GT Sport, its the best candidate., and maybe Kcnak 2 or Dreams.
Detroit, GoW and Ni No Kuni 2 , - 2018 -
Spiderman, Days Gone, TLOU2, Matterfall, Death Stranding - unlikely on fall 2018 or 2019.

It would be really cool and epic if Kratos can wield two axes and do many combos with both.
I hope there are so many weapons that you can upgrade and not just the axe.

Sunset Overdrive was released in 2014, after 3 years in development and they started working on Spider-Man right after that, so there is a very good chance Spider-Man could be out this year (3 year development, plus capitalise on the new Spider-Man movie) or early next year, if there is a small delay.

You forgot that released Ratchet And Clank meanwhile last year so this took them time too. No way Spider-Man is going to release this year with so scarce material shown. The game is still working title.

A pre-E3 event where a member of each media outlet, nominated as a "Judge" is invited weeks before E3 to play and vote on the official "Game of E3" awards. Not outlet-specific awards, but rather the primary E3 award.
For a game to be eligible for voting, it must be playable. Therefore most of the time announcement-games that are not playable by the press will not be at Judges Week.

Well Nightengale already answered but i can say it was 36 games this year according to Brandon Jones from Easy Allies.

Brandin from IGN responded to me about how he meant the beginning of the demo, and realized how it might be confusing the way he said it. I reminded him that it seemlessly transitions to gameplay.
Then Cory Balrog (director on God of War) responded saying it was all real-time / pure game engine. Can't wait for E3 heh.

They also released Fuse in 2013 while working on Sunset Overdrive. They have a pretty big team, so probably split the team to take on a few projects. I guess we will see how far along it is when E3 arrives.

No more walkthroughs.
I want a super epic badass trailer like God of War 3 trailer. Shit got me hyped beyond reason.

What are changes they fix the video? In the interest of disseminating correct information.

It still has to make SSM feel good that people actually think what they showed was CG. With that said, i'm not really sure how IGN could've confused that for CG. Not because it doesn't look good, but rather because there's never a cut. If it were CG then there'd need to be a point where there was a cut to black to transition back into the game engine, and that's not there. It's all done with a single shot like the whole game is supposed to be done in.
PLASTICA-MAN

He still insists that there CGI? Cory said since last year there is no custscene and everything is seamless in transition eitehr when you play or when you watch.
Exactly.
This is by far the best GOW trailer ever and one of the best trailers in general. I can't remember how many times I watched it or the persons to whom I made watch.
I remember calling Todd Papy (Ascension director) whether they can make a trailer as epic as this. He told me that such types of trailers need so much time and dedication to be so well orchestrated.
In fact nothing from that trailer made it to the final game.

Slightly OT but that impressed me about Lost Odyssey on the 360. CG to gameplay transition without a cut to black.
Giant Snakes...
Like the ones in Ascension?
SolidSnakex

Doesn't the cut to black there occur when you select an enemy?
https://youtu.be/pJWZlqLxiLg?t=185
When you select the first enemy there's a quick cut to black that never occurs again until it enters another cutscene.

I forgot about that video. Thanks.
@vivekTO, I witdhraw what I said before about the game being 30 FPS.
This is within the line of the previous GOW games (not remastered) where the framerates are unlocked. So this is between 34-37-40 FPS which is very impressive giving such visuals and I expect even more optimizations for the final game especially if the base game is finished and they are left with only refinement. and on PS4 PRO I expect even higher FPS.
GOW will set another benchmark for this gen again.

Yes? What did you want me to do with this old video? Or is this directed at IGN?

I agree that it is one of the best trailers ever made. I rank it next to MGS2 reveal. GOW III reveal works best, even though you said nothing from it made it to the final game. In fact it kinda does. You can see the Boots of Hermes in action where Kratos run sideways, and you can see the gory fatality he does on the Minotaur. Then you can see him grab an enemy and use it as a battering ram (another cool feature). After he gets piled on, he uses Nemean Cestus (Hercules' weapon) and smashes through the horde. All of these items are being showcased, including the fact that the ability to ride a Cyclops has returned for GOW II. Finally, he rides a harpy and you realize the game took place on Gaia. All these made it into the game, even though the particular setpiece sequence didn't.
