I beat the first one in about 3 days, so this game will probably be RotY 2007.Reilly said:

Wow, other hack-and-slash brawlers have 50-100 hours of replay value? Care to name some, because that sounds great.

Most people who considered the game too damn short are those who beat it in the 6 to 8 hour range. But I can see it taking up to 10...I guess.
Also, what the hell is up with those screens. It looks 3:3 or something, not 4:3...I don't know, but they look like squares or something. Does that website just size them all kinds of fucked up or something or am I drunk on diet coke?
This is a guess here, but I'm guessing Damien is referring NOT to "hack-and-slash brawlers" but more combo / tactical / difficult oriented games, let's say Devil May Cry 3 SE and / or Ninja Gaiden Black which have numerous bosses, carry over RPG stats, and mulitple play-forms etc.
But from all the hack-n-slashers out there (Genji, Onimusha, DW games) GoW certainly has the most replay value.

Naww...it doesn't have more replay than Onimusha. Oni 1 maybe, but 2, 3, and Dawn of Dreams kill it in the replay department.
GoW games look really good. PS2 is kicking ass late in its lifetime. Makes me think...what will PS3 games look like at the end of its lifetime...

how the hell can you judge replay value anyway? If you like the game, you want to replay it. Do you have to count a bunch of inflated bullshit like unlockign worthless costumes?
Wrong, these shots are pooped out of the dev kits at mega-high resolution. They may be in-game assets, but sure as hell isn't real-time in this resolution. Notice the total absense of any form of jaggies (not to mention the aspect ratio's and picture sizes, dead giveaway)?Zen said:
Still looks great for a Playstation 2 game and I'm sure it's fun to play.

You mean like every other official game screenshot ever released?

Maybe I should have said, God of War 1. I mean, since 2 hasn't come out, one wouldn't know how much replayability it has...

I'd think GoW2's replay value will be helped by them taking some things from DMC3's combat engine. You'll be able to switch weapons and magic on the fly now

This is def. realtime, because it looks like you can see the polygon edges of the horses from different angles.....if you look carefully, you can see a small castle-like platform at the base of each horse's neck...actually, it looks like a castle in each horse's saddle
In this shot you are actually fighing on those platforms on the saddle of the horse....see his ears in the background?
And again, here you can see the side of the horse's neck in the background!!!
My guess is that those giant horses are real time.
You may be fooled into thinking they are pre-rendered, because of the way the artists have worked on the game (they model it, and bake on the appropriate lighting as textures AFAIK), and so it looks much like it's CG original model in the end. That's what I gather from the making of documentary that was in the first game. I think it's awesome and resulted in some awesome graphics, so that's why I think they're real time.

Mid combo switches is what made DMC3's combo so great. It allows you to be alot more creative when fighting and do some amazing combo strings.

You're even willing to derail PS2 threads with this now? That's dedication.Drinky Crow said:
Anyway, on topic, this looks white hot. I really do need to finish the original GoW. Such a good game, I'm not sure what made me put it down. Might have been to replay RE4 several times over. Either way, I know what I'm doing on my day off tomorrow.

Haha, Jaffe did say he had a night out with the ICO team.Ninja Scooter said:

what is scary is how a game would look around the end of the ps3 life.
this is has to do with sony hardware. by time, developers know the console more and more they produce amazing visuals.
ofcourse Xbox 360 or any other console is the same. but not to the same degree as Sony consoles mainly because the other consoles are way easier to make games for.

Basically. Its another reason, I am happy number two is coming out for PS2. Give david and crew enough time for 3, and it should incredible.
No launch FTW!
I enjoyed the first game but I had three big problems with it:
1 - camera control, and the way that it was almost never in the right position
2 - v-sync and tearing problems
3 - inconsistent and usually unfair checkpoint positions
If they had spent a bit more time fixing those design issues then it could have been so much better. I still don't know how people could say it was better than DMC3 though...
