but..but..sir.

256 megabytes of RAM!

tacked on last-gen GPU

Slow Blu-Ray drive ...


etc.

 

[MickeyKnox]

Also, I really hope the Titans as moving gameplay environments climbing up Olympus is just the first chapter, otherwise this game will loose the edge the series gained with the 2nd entry.

 

[WinFonda]

The look actually reminds me alot of Ninja Gaiden 2, which was released a year ago and got shit on. It looks very simplistic, hopefully they atleast got it runnung at 60fps.

Except the biggest level in NG2 fits snugly inside Gaia's ass crack.

Fuck that noise

What you said really brought a lot to the table, I thank you for that.

 

[Zen]

This is Killzone 2 all over again, 'but a texture!' when the game looks incredible in motion.

 

[Ramenman]

DLing the trailer right now so I can only tell with the screenshot, but that's clearly better than in the last trailer.

The environments are a bit simple (compared to the character models) as seen in the last screen, but I think it gives the game some sort of style. Might just be work in progress though.

Oh god.

wow that trailer gave me the chills

Same, the music epic music helps too

[TrAcEr_x90]

Ill admit, after seeing the first trailer I was a little worried. Did not look that great to me, but you need the full context of this trailer to really be impressed. I sort of hold killzone 2 as the graphics highbar now, but in terms of playing a level, fighting over 50 enemies at a time, on the back of a titan climbing up a mountain? what the hell is there not be impressed with?

 

[ultim8p00]

seems to be a trend really.

Kratos' riding cyclops on top of Titan that are climbing Mt Olympus (which is probably on top of Atlas since he holds the world or something)

Holy shit Kratos on Cyclops on Titan on Atlas. What will they think of next?

 

[Choke on the Magic]

Some people on GAF need to learn to fully grasp the concept of opinions.

I'm pretty sure what ~Kinggi~ was saying is this. The character models obviously look much better than the PS2 games, so we're not talking about those. Most of the environments in the screenshots however (minus massive titan in the background) are the basic buildings and pillars you saw a lot of in God of War 1 and 2 (haven't played Chains of Olympus yet, but I'd assume the same). Naturally, there are better textures and lighting, and more geometry. It's certainly along the lines of improvements one would expect (i.e. GOW2 in HD), and it does look nice, but not necessarily impressive. The screenshots that don't showcase the lighting very well in particular. You can only do so much with the those kind of environments, and in some shots they come off flat while in others noticeably better.

Now contrast that with the environments in the trailer (especially the beginning, also the end). It's that simple.

GAF grasps the concept of opinions, they also grasp the concept of trolling.

 

[Zen]

What you said really brought a lot to the table, I thank you for that.

You know, I am capable of real discourse, it just so happens that an opinion like that isn't worth addressing in full. We're not playing the game the screenshots, the game is early, and it already looks amazing in motion which is what matters. How anyone could look at what's happening in the video and be caught up on 'the lighting looks flat except for when there are all the light sources and lightning is going off' isn't worth the time.

In screenshots it look like God of War 2 in HD? I can see that, but it does not in that trailer because of all the things that can't be properly conveyed in a still image. He's free to his opinion, but it's nitpicking for nitpickings sake.

 

[Applesauce]

GoW3 Ps3 Bundle ftw!

Sony should do some sort of LE unit like they did with Chains of Olympus on the PSP, except use a darker shade of red and use the gold border design. Shit, that would be HOT.

the trailer is the same built as the last trailer, just the full 3 minutes trailer. the screenshot (the official ones, not screen captured like some has post) are supposedly from a newer built, clearly shown with a very improved Kratos model.

 

[Euphor!a]

Seems people are pissed that Greeks were consistent with their architecture. Yes, some of the architecture in GoW 3 looks the same as that in 1/2/CoO, that is because that is how Greek architecture looks. When I play the next Ace Combat game and the sky is not made out of fire I am going to be pissed... or something along those lines.

 

[jaundicejuice]

That trailer was fucking awesome.

And how exactly do you expect Greek columns and buildings to look? There is far greater geometry in GoW3. That alone is enough to elevate it above "GoW2 in HD" status.

Edit: beaten

Looks like a high res version of God of War 2, but I can care less because the gameplay will rock.

What the fuck? Do you not see all the detail on Kratos's model and the model of the fuck lion beast or whatever it is. And look at the Titan in the background. Shit is gonna look amazing when it comes out. Still have lots of dev time.

 

[Choke on the Magic]

This really is the best post in this thread.

Any Gif's yet of of Kratos using the demon as a battering ram?

Oh god.

What's the problem here ?

I'd my most epic experiences on it so what ? between KZ2,Uncharted 2 and this, i really feel i'm a happy owner of a great piece of hardware(and happy to have the 360 and Wii too).
Chill out dude.

 

[Russian Steve]

Those shots in the OP are hot shit. If the final game looks that good remains to be seen. However, I'm really hoping they make some serious gameplay advances. If it did look EXACTLY like a fucking Van Gogh but still played about like the second game, well I would take a pass.

Unfortunately since Jaffe is a huge doucher and had to open his stupid mouth, now everyone will be bitching back and forth over whether or not the game looks like a godamn painting.

 

[Oblivion]

Is it painterly enough for you guys?

It looks fantastic, but I really don't see it being any more 'painterly' than any of the other top graphically impressive games.

 

[TrAcEr_x90]

was the music just not absolutely fuckin epic??? damn.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Yea, Jaffe's claims were exaggerated BS, thats all. But the community lapped it up like anything.

 

[beast786]

even when EVER SINGLE media source preview is drooling over the game and in many ways calling the possible best ever action game. Some are compairing to PS2/GOW2

Oh my... :lol

[yurinka]

The game looks great. Hype +100!

BTW yep, it looks a face. This one, maybe?

Spoiler

Just kidding

 

[Catalix]

Oh man as awesome as the Titans were, I think I am most excited about being able to use enemies as battering rams. I am so stoked they confirmed that mechanic will be in game.

Also who wants to bet those chains get modeled on in a later build?

Seriously! That move looked like so much fun to perform in the trailer. When he grabbed that one guy and used him to force his way through the group of other guys... then they all piled on top of him. FUCK. I think I read that you press O to grab then [] to initiate that "battering ram" maneuver. Can't wait to do that shit!

I also really like that you can pull yourself toward the enemy with your chains now. Hopefully they still have the option of pulling the enemy toward you, like Scorpion.

 

[sca2511]

just let the haters do their job its alright. Just beat the other two GoWs recently and this looks really good. Plus they still have time to make it look even better.

 

[Raistlin]

Holy shit Kratos on Cyclops on Titan on Atlas. What will they think of next?

Mount Olympus is actually a tentacle from Krakan, that was frozen by Medusa. Once you get to the top ... he awakens

God damn you fucking trolls! Why is every PS3 exclusive nitpicked to death by the trolls and even the media??? WHY????? why so much hate??? Why can't they be happy as gamers that PS3 is doing good things to move the gaming forward by giving us new exciting games which look amazing then any thing on the market?? PS3 or sony butt raped you guys or something???

</rant>

OK .. damn it looks amazing!!!!111!!

 

[Bojangles]

The screenshots seemed extremely underwhelmaton to me.

But that video trailer? Holy fuckshit! That looked delicious *and* nutritious.

 

[Confused101]

Holy mother of pearl! Sony needs to take the marketing to the next level with this game.

I'm thinking a Spartan themed PS3 that comes with God of War 3, a 300gb hard drive and the movie 300 on Blu-Ray.

Do it Sony, god damn!

Oh, happy is fine, of course, I myself am very happy to own some of my consoles right now.

It's the "proud" that had me facepalming. I just don't get how you can be "proud" to own a console, but if you actually meant "happy" then just dismiss my post as useless nitpicking :/

 

[-tetsuo-]

Oh my Jesus, Kratos is a savage. Fucking Titan tipped up and that Cyclops was just trying to live, trying to hold on, and Kyle Barker is just eviscerating his face with the blades of chaos. That was just not even necessary.

This must be put into the the official thread when it comes out!!

Same thing was said about LBP and KZ2 and look what happened.

Sony is too poor to market anything.

just saw the trailer. ZOMG

Screens didn't look quite right to me for some reason, but in motion looks better.

That reminds me, I have to go back and beat II....

 

[Zen]

Sony has like, the awesomest first party every and the shittiest marketting on the planet.

 

[bloodforge]

Screens and video looked underwhelming to me, I'm not seeing why everyone is getting so hyped up already.

 

[Azzwanker]

Do we have a new voice-actor for GoW3? Kratos sounds diffrent?

I also really like that you can pull yourself toward the enemy with your chains now. Hopefully they still have the option of pulling the enemy toward you, like Scorpion.

I think it's X to throw, /\ to beat them up, [] to battering ram, if you push them to wall you can initiate smashing enemies head to wall. O for something else, probably for riding the big monster like cyclops and harpies.

really love the expanded combat option and the focus to crowd control. the change to evade while equipping different weapon is also a nice touch, you evade roll like usual when equipping blade of chaos, and quick but shorter dash when you're equipping Cestus. really nice touch.
