[smokeymicpot]

Holy shit at the trailer.

 

[Zeliard]

This looks excellent. What the fuck are people smoking?

 

[deepbrown]

TRAILER LOOKS AMAZING....

 

[Haunted]

Screens are underwhelming, trailer was OMG FUCK AWESOME.

 

[CitizenCope]

Will save judgement for animation. The God of war games have always looked incredible imo.
Edit: Wait is there a gameplay trailer?

 

[fatigues_gasolini]

From the trailer, it looks like his feet go on fire before his wall run. Wall running combat mechanic?

I can't believe they are showing this part....

Hmm I wonder if anyone can figure out what's going on.

 

[Choke on the Magic]

Goddamn! :lol

 

[ypo]

Character model looks excellent but everything else looked early. Where's are teh realtime shadows???

 

[The Orange]

Oh maaan, in the end when you realise the whole fight is happening on another monster. Hooleee sheeet.

 

[anddo0]

I like the crow at the start of the trailer.. Its something you naysayers should get used to eating as the games release draws near.

 

[Esch]

That trailer is fucking incredible. Holy shit SCEA Santa Monica. Epic as hell. That looks like an older build than the screens we've been seeing too, judging by Kratos' character model.

 

[Zombie James]

"Looks entirely flat" with "no life" alright.

lol...see what you did thurrrr.

 

[Tom Penny]

Though it would look better. I'm sure the end result will be great though. Without question.

 

[FrankT]

It seems E3 is when the release date will be announced. Early 2010 expected.

Yea, no date named in the trailer. Any of the previews giving a hint?

Oh nvm I see now;

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3172778

March 2010 is what I would put my money on as well.

 

[CiSTM]

IGN screens looks much better and the trailer was fucking awesome. Now I'm blown away ! Good job Santa Monica.

 

[LowParry]

Fuck you haters! 2009 is my wishful thinking of game release!

 

[RamzaIsCool]

Really the end part part of that trailer made me go wow, when I realised

Spoiler

that the whole thing took place on the back of a fucking huge Titan, climbing the Olympos (I presume)

 

[____]

I can't believe they are showing this part....

I'm pretty sure in a few more seconds, old Icarus there won't have that head attached to that body anymore :lol

Uh...yea...The art direction is not that impressive but the animation is superb. O_O

EDIT: might not have been gameplay though...after realizing that there is no hud. :/

EDIT 2: Its in engine though...I wanna see gameplay look just a staged as that :O

 

[zeloe326]

Win.

 

[PuppetMaster]

http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/886/886158/imgs_1.html

Holy crap!

 

[Cruzader]

So damn predictable that someone will refute this way when their hurt...again.:lol

Uncharted had that covered and Uncharted 2 will still have that covered. Now thats one game with impressive art direction.

ppls here should stop neglecting the fact game is more than 1 year away and judging the whole game from a few pictures/early trailers is ridiculous. Im pretty sure when this game comes out, it will impress everyone except haters that is.

 

[Haunted]

Someone update the OP and thread title with the trailer.

So much better than the screens.


edit: and done.

 

[CrushDance]

I like the crow at the start of the trailer.. Its something you naysayers should get used to eating as the games release draws near.

:lol

 

[KZObsessed]

So he was fighting on a Titan... while it was scaling Mt Olympus?

:lol :lol

Definition of epic.

Trailer confirmed to be gameplay

NOTE: A Sony rep confirmed that the trailer’s action is taken from gameplay. But franchise fans will notice the absence of signature enemy-drops (the light orbs) and battle prompts (the appearance of icons matching buttons you need to press for gory mini-boss kills) light-orbs dropped by defeated enemies are absent. I’ve checked with Sony to find out whether those elements have been dropped from the game or, more likely, simply been cleaned from the action for the trailer.

Spoiler

No what, motherfuckers ?

 

[SolidSnakex]

At a media presentation earlier this week, Sony announced that they will reveal a release date for God of War 3 at E3 in June. Yes, it's kind of silly that we're reporting on when an announcement will be made rather than the announcement itself, but it's God of War 3, so this story exists.

[Doc Holliday]

Nice!

 

[Majmun]

That trailer....


OWROFGFNSJonnffbfklgafdbjiopr

wow

 

[ypo]

Damn the trailer is smoking hot! Holy shit at the last part. but it's still the same build as the earlier trailer. The opening is equally impressive

 

[Madman]

Though it would look better. I'm sure the end result will be great though. Without question.

You can't be refering to the trailer, right? That trailer is fucking insane.

 

[Brandon F]

Not bad for a target render.

 

[Digital-Hero]

Is that... a Titan?
wow

A Titan is holding the area you are fighting on. Epic God of War style as usual!

IGN's 4-page preview.

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/954/954097p1.html

Stig Asmussen, the director of God of War III, started his presentation by mentioning that the development team had three main points that they wanted to focus on with God of War III: First, they wanted to wrap up the series by creating a game that would help define action for this generation of consoles and for the industry in general. That stood out as a bold statement, particularly considering that many people would argue that the first God of War titles broke barriers for action on the PS2 as well as the PSP. However, Asmussen felt like his team was up to the task, primarily because the majority of the design team has come from the first two games. The second element was working on creating groundbreaking moments of play, while the third facet was redefining the sense of scale in games to levels that had never been seen before.

Trying to bring this sense of scale into perspective, Asmussen mentioned two facts that would drive the size of the titans home. The first one was that many of the titans would be larger in size than that of the Sears Tower in Chicago, which gives a real world perspective on these character/levels. The other was that the titans were so large that the large Medusa Lair from God of War II would easily fit in the palm of Gaia's Hand.

Scale scale scale seems to be the order of the day.

 

[abstract alien]

Youtube youtube youtube!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im going to blow my brains out if i dont see this soon...

 

[captscience]

Hmm, well the screen look like an upsca...

HOLY CRAP LOOK AT DAT TRAILER!

Stig mentions in the IGN preview that the trailer was completed in the fall.

And judging from how much better the Kratos model has gotten since then, I can only imagine how awesome the game looks in motion now.

 

[Das-J]

They're not showing the right screenshots yet. God of War isn't about close-ups of Kratos...but Kratos fighting in front of epic backdrops, against lots of badass enemies.

There were plenty of those shots in the GI article...

 

[SovanJedi]

Okay, ignore my last post. That trailer was unbelievably fucking epic.

Uh...yea...The art direction is not that impressive but the animation is superb. O_O

I don't mean to be rude...but you're crazy.

 

[Callibretto]

ripping his head off?

I think that might be Hermes

 

[Dante]

looks brilliant, I can't wait to see how it animates! PS3 is on fire right now, so many good looking games

 

[KZObsessed]

oh I like scale.

 

[Paracelsus]

Not bad for a target render.

Especially if you consider that target render is actual gameplay.
