God of War: GTTV Thread - There be spoilers!

Just arrived at my office. Too bad the video's not up yet, as I've got a meeting in 10 minutes, so I won't be able to watch it right away =(

But the GIFs... Wow! I'm so pumped for this game!

We're less than a few weeks to release and we are still left extremely in the dark on all the features the game has to offer.

This game is a tightly-wrapped surprise gift for everyone.

That'll be changing in some ways come Monday as SamBishop mentioned that we're going to be seeing lots of impressions and interviews then.

To be fair, that trailer looked 'bland' in comparison to the new stuff, but many of those comments were ridiculous nonetheless..

Jaffe's comment made (and makes) sense 100% from his perspective, as a game designer, it's like the concept art which depicts such incredible rage, is finally coming to life like never before.

to be fair, it looked bland because it was like 2 years before it got released :P

And the comments about the visuals were still exaggerated since that WAS the current build. It looks amazing now, but I don't think a lot of the comments need to be picked on in the old thread, because it really didn't look special at the time.

Or it's possible they were only showing parts of the game they wanted you to see, or a trailer they had made months prior.

I mean, it's 2010 and most of us are playing the demo that SSM brought to E3 last year...which was even then probably already months old. And it was pretty good looking.

I can't really remember...I thought it would have been mentioned that the trailer shown was running on an old build if it was, since we knew that about the E3 one.

But Jaffe confirmed what he saw wasn't what we were shown. And it was only natural to assume the game would end up looking much better. Some haters just love the pessimistic cool aid. Same shit happened with Killzone 2. I remember that infamous first shot lol...

I'm starting to think Sony intentionally does this to make fools out of the opposing fanboys or doubters.

I remember after I watched the first trailer, I kept thinking Sony was setting up a trap. Not much scale (when GOW is all about scale), not much going on, a lack of ambition and just an overall lack of polish we'd come to expect from Sony's first party. It was always destined to offer more and improve considerably.

They revealed a very short clip of that exact trailer in December for the VGA Awards in 2008...and an extended version later in early 2009. I think it's safe to say the trailer was older than we thought.

But regardless, I'm not sure why they would want to tell you that the trailer is old stuff. XD

I think they just know what they want to do from the outgo, and they work on making the "game" aspect and getting everything nailed down, and then finally work on visual and other problems afterwards.

At least, I hope that's the case for Modnation Racers (which is another exclusive IP, and it's suffering from bad camera/framerate/controls)

Lets read some of these while looking at the gifs :lol

Although I wasn't as insane as those other comments I was underwhelmed by the first trailer. I guess now it's safe to say the visuals are amazing and Kratos model looks considerably better than Snake.

I still cant get over how clean the game looks--from the textures to the AA.
 
Holy shit just saw it

you know when they show GOW2 CG (titan battle) it looks less impressive than the gameplay of GOW 3

its so beyond anything right now
 
About 3 minutes in and....


There is just NO FUCKING WAY...

How the hell...??? WHAT???

How is this even possible on current-gen consoles?

Almost everything looks CG...

I don't understand...

In fact I'm a bit scared...I think the fabric of my very understanding of the PS3's capabilities is caving in around me...

Should I save this awesomeness or fold and watch now? argghh

IMO I think most of the footage was pretty safe. They did show some new things in it though. For example, they showed off some new weapons and moves. Most of the footage is of stuff we have already seen, but they are the extended versions of it.
 
ahahhahahahahah wtffff is this?! AHAHahah shiiiiiit, seriously I have the biggest grin on my face right now :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD, this does look surreal absolutely surreal
 
How the fuuuuuckkk? I was sure KZ2 would keep the graphics crown, then U2 came and smashed it away. Then I was even more sure U2 would keep it, at least till KZ3. But this....this is just something else....WTF man....Bar raised....yet again!
 
They should have sent a poet...

Okay, heavy spoilers or minor ones like Fatboy says?
Click to expand...

I'm about halfway through...they show 2 major boss battles...one of them being the one from the last GT TV trailer. The rest is either minor, regular gameplay, minor mini-bosses or a sort of cutscene that occurs that triggers the boss battle from the last GT TV trailer.

Outside of that, I wouldn't say there's much spoil.

So yeah, I'd say it's pretty minor. What they do spoil seems to be from pretty early on in the game.

I'm not finished with it though, and I don't consider what I saw very spoilery, though, so don't hammer me if you feel you're getting spoiled XD

well they tell you how the game begins and stuff.

We always knew how it began...it starts off right at the end of God of War 2.
