I'm not the best judge of framerate, but it's definitely 60fps and I didn't really notice any dips. It feels really smooth to me. But I guess you'll have to wait for TTP or jett to get it as they're much more critical than I am in that area.

Tiduz said:im really impressed with the framerate, i didnt notice any problems at all, verry smooth! IMO
Also, im confused at the endingwhen he attacks the huge dude and it ends, isnt he a titan thats on your side? like gaia and others? i thought you were on their side
When working at Comic-Con i asked one of the product managers for the game this exact question, he responded
"Their your friends when they want to be, everyone has their own objectives"
he wouldnt answer any further then that.

Awesome, thanks! I just posted there to get in the queue. Thanks again!GeeDuhb said:There is a demo share account set up already. Go HERE to get in on the action (just post that you want to be added to the list.)
Someone who got a code for the demo set up a dummy account that we are going to pass around and d/l the demo

How big is the demo? MB/GB wise.
Almost 3GB.
It looks very good. Very stylized, Jaffe wasn't wrong with his picture comment. It's up there with the best looking games. However it feels strange that the camera angle is set, don't know when I played such a game the last time. Takes some time to get used to. Feels a bit old tbh. Gameplay wise it's just what you expect, nothing more and nothing less.

I'd like to take this time to let all the people who are playing this know that I hate you, and everything you stand for.

Well, the new R&C game has had 2 demos, both of them larger than 2 gigs. I think that wins, for now.
Amazon preorder link [U.S.A] if anyone's interested.

Aww man after the end came I just wanted to keep playing. I didn't find the demo that hard but the Icharus vent at the end kind of annoyed me.
Love the Cestus weapon especially when performing the L1+Square attack that spins them around and launches the enemies crashing into the walls.:lol
I'm not sure if anyone got their demo from the GameStop voucher like I did but it has another voucher coupon code for the "Phantom of Chaos" skin for final game, which is Kratos' original design before they changed it to what he is today. Hopefully I don't lose it between now and March.

Amazing demo, goddamn!
First, the good stuff: graphics are fucking awesome, the image quality is great, the lighting is sublime (the illumination of surfaces looks spectacular), and the game's visceral and meaty as fuck. Those boxing gloves (Cestus?) are fun as hell to use, and the demo wasn't as easy as I'd imagine.
The only real negative I have is the fluctuating framerate; it sometimes hits 60 fps, but most often it feels like it's staying at 45 fps or some odd number. At least compared to other games it actually feels very smooth most of the time, which is a serious plus, and thankfully there's no screen tearing to speak of.
FUUUU-, I must have this game now!

Insane For Sony
The question is if the new build has this color correction done through some post processing on the fly or it's just all the result of camera flash. There's a distinct yellowish tinge to the older build direct buffer screen, it should be easy to see if the demo that we can download has that scene looking just like that.captscience said:I'm pretty certain it's the same build.

Honestly, I picture I attempted to take was during the brief plastforming section where I was kinda stunned by how nice the walls looked. It's hard to explain, but it was like there was depth between each layers, and each layer didn't seem flat either. What was really amazing is when you lean to make the jump, the perspective shifts, and it doesn't seem like the camera just pans, it seems like it's on a crane or something that makes the little gap seem like it's really there. If you took out the Kratos model, it probably would have looked straight of of concept art.

True. I'm still guessing that the difference color/contrast is a result of the off screen capture and or TV settings
But regardless, the excitement over a dramatically new build/lighting/etc is almost certainly just an overreaction.

On the upside, when you play the game it looks dramatically better than any movies you've seen of it so far. So even though it's not a new build it'll still amaze you with how good it looks.
I didn't get too far in the original God of War, never played God of War II and didn't dig God of War: Chains of Olympus - now I'm sitting here downloading the demo of God of War III at 88% and I'm excited. I like hack 'n slash games like Heavenly Sword and Bayonetta, so hope I'll join the side of Kratos this time.
Wow. Wow. WOW!
It´s like, uh, God of War in HD. With a few better textures. And some enemies crawl over the floor and try to grab you after you cut off their legs. But is that already enough to call it a new God of Wa...OMG I CAN´T ACT LIKE I´M NOT IMPRESSED!
Demo was fucking awesome!
I had three things that bugged me, though.
-Flight controls.
-Font. The menu that popped up when you pressed Select looks horrible.
-The guy that you, uh, helped to get off that building. When you pressed "O" the ketchup sauce
stain that splash on the wall was right there, even before the head touched the wall. Happened during two playthroughs, but that will probably be fixed in the full game.
Uncharted 2 and GoW 3 on the same day. <3 <3 <3 I love the smell of being a console peasant in the morning. Or something :lol
