No, im sorry. It's not coming late 2009, or 2010. There's no way in hell they'd start marketing it as a "coming soon" title for a release that late.

I'm curious what GoW3 will bring to the table gameplay-wise for the first "next gen" installation of the franchise. I have this feeling that without Barlog or Jaffe it'll just be a safe, by-the-numbers sequel with amazing graphics. Of course I hope I'm wrong.
One area where I have absolutely no doubt, however, is that the graphics will completely blow away DMC and NG. It won't even be a contest.

They've acknowledged that they have to go all out for GoW3. So I wouldn't count on them playing it safe.

Where is that "FUUUUUCK" gif when you need it?

I've yet to play the first 2 GOW's. I've been dragging my feet on the matter...

One of the folks I teach with is a concept artist on GoW3. He's still working on character and environement designs for the game so I'd think it's way early.

Metal Gear solid 4 easily isnt in the upper echelon visually IMO..not to say it doesnt look great..but it just isn't up there with the top. From the textures, to the effects, to the animation, to the color palette..it just has way less going for it than other games visually.
God of War 3 is going to look spectacular and will indeed be the best looking PS3 game..until Ico 3 comes out.

Early 2010 Expecting it earlier would be setting yourself up for disappointment.

He was working on them until recently, and now he is doing environments and whatnot IIRC. He is a pure painter, not a 3D guy, so if all the concepting was done, he would have moved onto another project at Santa Monica.Madman said:
I think they are still quite early.
BTW, designs of the characters he showed me look very classic and realistic, as far as his paintings go. The look of the designs should improve by a huge fold.

When I say early, I'm just saying don't expect anything this year, not saying to expect it in 2010.Madman said:
Formula for this game is fairly straight forward. Should be a speedy production compared to other PS3 games, especially with the locked camera making good looking visuals easier (his words about the camera making things easier, not mine).

Exactly. Just pretty it up in 720p. Call it God of War HD pack. Charge $19.99. I'll buy it.
Gotcha. I have called, against the majority here, that it will be out by Christmas 09. I could be wrong, but that seems like the best time to me.Shogmaster said:
I'm sure the fixed camera makes things easier and better looking. I do not see why some people dislike them. It gives the developer the ability to make movie-esque scenes in game and it reduces the workload on creating assets. It's a win-win si6tuation in my eyes.

is Sony likes money, that's the last thing Sony will do. GoW2 haven't even become greatest hits titles. no way they'll sell hd version for $20 for each game, let alone both game as hd pack

I want this game more than ANYTHING.
Except a real Shadowrun RPG. That is the Ultimaton!

Seiken said:This game can't fail, graphics wise. I mean, if it looks JUST LIKE GoW2 with HD resolution, it will look like this:
And that's not bad, is it?
Yeah I absolutely expect this game to push the ps3 to a whole new level graphically.
DarkJediKnight said:
time to do all that: 1 year. # of ppl required to do all that: 50. Average salary of programmer: 65k
Total cost to do what you just said: $3.25 million dollars, not including electricity and other costs.
at $20, with full return it'll take 1.6 million downloads to make back the costs to program what you just wanted.
Yes. Sony likes money. As in, not wasting them.

1080p @ 60fps?

Nice math, but you can't possibly expect it to take 50 programmers to do it? Or should I say 50 people all making $65k/year... My guess would be more like a handful or two of people making that money and a whole lot of other people making a whole lot less...
Not saying that this is happening, just that I think your estimate's out of whack. Not to mention people would pay $30 easily for this... I'd probably fork over $40 myself...

Insane For Sony
You cannot possibly think there would be 50 people needed working one whole year to basically port a game from a last gen platform, with all assets and everything else reused. More likely it would take 5 junior to mid skilled people working for a couple of months.Tideas said:
Here's what I think will happen to God of War 3.
They will show screens of it, and people will be disappointed. "That doesn't look much better than God of War II. Yeah, Kratos is obviously much higher poly but I don't know it seems like they didn't push things like they could have."
"Wow, doesn't look much better than Conan."
Then they'll have a blowout near release and it'll totally look pretty good, but it just won't set the golden standard of next-gen. I HAVE REAL PREDICTION SKILLS BELIEVE THIS.
