jett is your glass half full or half empty?

Some more info translated by me:

-God of War 3's battlefield is described as intense as the invasion of Normandy, between gods and titans with Kratos right in the middle.

-There are still two main weapons left to be revealed, developers say they will blow our minds.

Info from the interview with Stig:

-Stig has a plan to make new GOW players familiar with the story of the previous games, designed to make anyone catch up with the story quickly and to grab you from the start. It won't be be just a video.

-It seems they still haven't included any sex0r mini-games, it seems like Stig doesn't want to simply tack it on. Sounds to me like there won't be any.

-Some of the titans are twice the height of the Eiffel Tower. The Colossus of Rhodes from GOW2 would fit on the palm of their hands.

Pictures are mostly old stuff.

Funny stuff: they have concept art of a new golden enemy, with the caption "this could be what Zeus looks like at the end of the game!". In the same page there's a picture of the game showing they're just regular enemies.

Goddamn.

"the landing of Normandy, featuring gods and Titans, with Kratos in the middle of everything."

This really trivializes WWII

Spoiler

in the best way possible!

 

[RustyNails]

Well, having sex on the back of a titan who's scaling Mt Olympus sounds absurd

 

[Denzar]

15-20 hours? Not convinced.

Me neither. Probably a good 4 hours shorter (from the 15 hours).

 

[Mad_Ban]

I'm crossing my fingers that we get to sex a harpy.

Not if it's part of an epic Aphrodite boss battle.

 

[Denzar]

10 - 12 hours is around how long the other games were, so I'm fine with that.

Yeah me too. The longer the game the harder to pace. But if it really was about 15-20 hours long, and was paced just as wel as GoWII, then my mind would be ever so blown.

 

[-viper-]

GOWII was a fairly lengthy experience. I'd be happy with a similar length as that game.

I'm following this thread right from the beginning and I've not seen these artwork images and sketches here. So, here there are:

I'd love to see this in 3d.

The pic screams Valhalla to me

despite Valhalla belonging to Norse mythology

Lost for words thinking about this....

There are no words.

Kratos needs to tame Aphrodite

 

[carlosp]

There's no way GOW Collection wasn't profitable for Sony. It was just a port job done in 4 months. How well would a Team ICO Collection fare I have no idea, but it'd be nice if they put SotC HD up on PSN.

Dude they made the port in 5 weeks, not in four months. The devs said in an interview. They used couple of more weeks for the PSN feature. The whole packafe was done in less then two months iirc.

There's always time for sex. ALWAYS!

Kratos needs to tame Aphrodite

:lol So awesome.

You haven't seen them because they aren't for God of War 3

They are just made by one of GoW3's artists

No way this is true.

 

[chubigans]

Yeah, it was slightly less than four months total:

New trailer debuting February 11th on GTTV.

Man if that wasn't on the official blog, I would be saying that is fake. That box looks terrible.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

So this was the official boxart all along? Meh, pretty different than the style of previous GOW games.

 

[kaskade]

So FFXIII comes out the 9th and God of War 3 the 16th. Damn.

 

[deejay8595]

WOW...GOW 3 trailer and Heavy Rain Demo on the same day..WOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!

 

[Salz01]

[jett]

The giant eye cover. I should've known. You fucking idiots!

 

[VariantX04]

UNF! UNF! UNF! HNNNNGGG!

Man that looks sexy. *throws wallet at Sony*

 

[ClearCELL]

Box art is not what I had hoped for but March 16th can't come soon enough.

 

[TONX]

I should have known SCEA would fuck up another cover YET AGAIN.

 

[KingDizzi]

that box is HOT

edit: guess there's not gonna be a superbowl trailer after all

Pretty funny that Sony are not while EA will be with Dantes Inferno. :/

We can always count on Sony marketing!

That looks awesome and F*** You GTTV, I know it was you guys who made us wait for the trailer.

 

[Yoshichan]

Oh my god I love that cover!

 

[Shadow780]

Oh man that box is full of WIN.

 

[TTP]

I'm disappointed with the box-art. But whatever, the game can't come soon enough!

Good thing game lacks any multiplayer. I bet SCEE would have placed the big blue circle right on the eye.

Besides, I like the cover. Doesn't look messy from distance and should stand out on shelves.

http://bit.ly/bWBxg7 Great news: New GOD OF WAR 3 trailer coming exclusively to GTTV on Thurs, Feb 11. Game ships 3/16.

 

[Baki]

I should have known SCEA would fuck up another cover YET AGAIN.

The box art does suck. I liked the other one. :/

Pretty funny that Sony are not while EA will be with Dantes Inferno. :/

Well isn't there about a month difference between superbowl and GOW 3 release?

Keighley:

KEIGHLEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYY

 

[BeeDog]

I like the cover too, don't mind it at all. Compare it to the awful cover of Mass Effect 2, and this one's a friggin' masterpiece.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Pretty funny that Sony are not while EA will be with Dantes Inferno. :/

One game really needs that kind of exposure and the other doesn't.

[Easystride]

Damn, so close to FFXIII. I probably wouldn't have got this day one, but I have it on order with amazon for $48 after ECA and quick picks. Hopefully Amazon includes a promotional gift card to soften the blow.
