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.

Jesus. The scale and sense of adventure were always my favorite part about the first two games. Awesome to see they're just ramping that up.

"The best way that I can describe it is take D-Day, the Battle at Normandy, combine it with the movie Cloverfield, and put Kratos smack dab in the middle of it," Asmussen said.

Watched it again, and so yeah, this is basically the most amazing looking game after all. That trailer is simply insane.

That trailer is the best GoW trailer ever IMO. And that's saying something.

 

[h3ro]

:O

 

[otake]

I wants it. Give it to us!

 

[McLovin]

OMG OMG that was awesome!! Kratos I <3 UUUUUU!!!!11
awesome

 

[Esch]

The animation is like... So good. Probably the best I've ever seen. I like it even more than crysis and killzone in some respects, simply because it's going so fast and Kratos in particular is like an achievement. His muscle movement is eerily good, it looks like CG animation or something.

Pretty much.

Just had to watch it again, fantastic scale in that trailer, perfect ending.

No one has a monopoly on huge chains.

 

[Blimblim]

Amazing scale and animations, that's for sure. Lighting is somehow a bit strange, I really don't know what it can be.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

Killzone 2
Uncharted 2
GOD of War 3

Exactly. I expected this to complete the holy trinity of PS3 Graphikal Powaaahhhh.

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

Are you guys seeing the Q&A posted on the official PS Blog?

"Playboy: Gamers don’t want long load times or storylines, do you plan to recap everything?"

........just.........ughhhhhhhhh.................fuck

 

[Boulayman]

This game looks damn impressive.

 

[dragonflys545]

WOW I AM SPEECHLESS!!!

 

[RamzaIsCool]

:lol I really get a SotC vibe when all those Titans where shown climbing the mountain.

 

[truly101]

I don't know if you can call 2009 "the year of the PS3" but damn if their 1st party exclusives aren't stepping up. Aside from KZ2, both Uncharted and GOW will help Sony sell some systems and I hope Infamous lives up to my hopes. I'd release it over the summer and hold uncharted for sept, gow for late october/november. All they need is the next GT but thats not happening any time soon. Oh, and a price drop.

Looks like a ton of bloom.

Holy shit. It's not Trico, it's Greeko.

"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."

That's just incredible.

 

[braimuge]

Best presentation I've ever seen for a game.

 

[raYne]

In shots, great. In motion, incredible. Mmmm..

 

[RavenFox]

Pretty underwhelming from Jaffe's hype. This is no painting. I don't even think they're trying to harness the PS3's power with this one.

Saw this and then read your post in the other thread. :lol
That vid pretty much owned you

 

[ZeroFate]

Ugh, it still hasn't loaded up for me! I needz a Youtube HD link stat. The first few seconds with the crow (lawl) looks good though...

</3 GT. -_-

 

[Esch]

I like that it's bloom heavy- it gives the magical effects a hazy look and the game overall a mythic atmosphere... Although some better range would be nice too.

 

[criesofthepast]

That trailer blew my fucking mind.

 

[Bunny]

okay....that trailer was fucking awesome.

God of War III Design Interview

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/45520.html

That guy looked a bit nervous to be giving an interview for the camera. As the gaming industry moves forward in popularity, it's going to become more and more of a necessity to have a CliffyB type person at your company: someone who can not only talk in detail to the games design and implementation, but can also be a solid presenter.

Can't wait to see what the team can put out.

I'm curious to find out just how much, if at all, they are going to be changing the way combat works. What new elements they may add in addition to just different weapons.

 

[Ezduo]

"Painting come to life" my ass. Still, looks good.

Personally, I can't wait, because if it's even close to what we were shown during the screening, in the end, there might be only chaos, but it could also be one of the best games any system will ever have.

Begin the hyperbole train.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Were you guys expecting a painting or the fucking Sistene Chapel ceiling?

 

[RiverBed]

No? That's the first thing I thought.

Fucking awesome pics and trailer, by the way.

EDIT: shit, beaten. lol

The build they used in this trailer was from Fall of '08.

Kratos never fails to get the hype

wow

Didn't Jaffes comment appear around that time, though?

 

[lowrider007]

Are we really going to debate this ?

 

[Blimblim]

Shit, the 1080p version of the trailer is somewhere on SCEA's press site, but since it's beyond shitty I have no way to get it. Seriously, this piece of shit of a site doesn't even work (anymore) with firefox...

 

[Wii Will Rock U]

Okay I reuploaded them.

Personally the graphics are not even remotely impressive to me. I'm pretty disappointed. At least it's sure to run at 60fps...

I'm in the same boat, after playing and seeing Killzone 2, it's hard for me to go back.

Of course, the game looks GOOD but I don't understand the graphic hype.

That said, the stuff in the trailer sold me on the game and I will be there Day One to pick it up.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Didn't Jaffes comment appear around that time, though?

Yeah, but he also said that what he saw wasn't the trailer build, it was a later version.

I couldn't care less about Jaffe's original comments though and you people need to stop clinging to them. The game looks great, that's all that's important.

 

[Esch]

Are really going to debate this ?

I just want to actually see the comment because my friends do not believe me.

 

[Tieno]

Holy shit at the "Epic Scale" trailer! Epic scale is epic, Insomniac am cry?

They have always cried, it's just that only now the actual top PS3 developers are showing up.

The trailer, he stated, was a piece of work that had been completed last Fall, but the team had been waiting to fully unveil the entire thing.

We actually completed this several months ago," said God of War 3 director Stig Asmussen at a press event earlier this week. "We've been sitting on it. I've anxiously been wanting to show it, but today was the day that we decided to unveil it.

For one, it's basically an extended trailer of what we saw at the VGAs, back in December(graphically it's exactly the same). Two, the directed stated so in the IGN article.


Is this really all we're gonna get today?

 

[Truant]

Yeah, but he also said that what he saw wasn't the trailer build, it was a later version.

I couldn't care less about Jaffe's original comments though and you people need to stop clinging to them. The game looks great, that's all that's important.

So what you're saying is that Jaffe traveled in time?

I'm just kidding. I trust that the game will look up to scratch come release.
