I think they just bypassed the Pink Age and go right to the Bronze Age. And for good reason, too.

So true. I didn't know God of War III has to look better than Gears II to be fun.

you didn't get the neogaf mail?
i'll give you the short version:
if game x comes out after game y, then game x must look better than game y.

Wow.. Someone needs to take a figure drawing class. Kratos' proportions are completely wrong here, and it looks like he's falling over rather than looking forward. Terrible.


Lemme see your concept paintings.

Game looks great. GAF is being GAF.

I don't even own a PS3 and I'll say this. Game looks good. And God of War is all about the game in motion anyway. The graphic hounds on this board are really out of control recently.

Ahhh I want this so bad! The music is one of the best parts of these games and I can't wait to hear it in 5/7.1.
Yes. I am listening to some of Gerard Marino's work on the game right now. Pardon the pun, but it's Godlike.
 
The graphics aren't mindblowing by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm sure I'll enjoy the game.

Doesn't look as good as I expected. It's not even close.
Maybe, but the scale they've hinted at in those final trailer moments could make up for any graphical shortcomings in close-up. Think of the scale, man, the scale!
 
I think it looks pretty good, especially when you consider they are aiming for 60fps. And with how much time is left for development, its almost guaranteed the graphics will be improved upon before release.

When I think of scale, I think of an engine that can do really nice indoor platforming environments, and then scale back the assets to make really epic outdoor environments, all seemlessly.

Weren't you also the guy that thought the project Trico Video had "Shitty" animation and bad cinematography? :lol

That's creepy.

Yeah, it is... :D
 
Damn guys. We aren't even done nitpicking inFAMOUS and Heavy Rain and you're already moving onto God of War 3? What happened to trolling one PS3 exclusive at a time?
 
The static images really don't do God of War justice. It is like saying the sun isn't beautiful, because in pictures it is just a uni colored globe.

Gow is all about expression, movement, attitude, aptitude, aggression, sheer epicness, a celebration of all things ONLY noticeable in its dynamic glory. Look at his face. How awesome is Kratos when he mimes, rips and rents. How mesmerizing when he walks the path of scarification on the beats of war. Elegance and Fervor, Strength, but precise and refinement. He is the sculpture of strength and the strong is the Will.

Misguided thy are, comparing such glory to some dirty game like Gears ass War. Fools thy are, judging so fervently from a static images. What’s next? ‘Beautifully’ textured RE5 pictures? Then again I know as much of GoW as the ignorant haters themselves, since what do we know of the game. Since GoW 2 is still visually strong TODAY, DESPITE its simplistic static form, I dare not pronounce God of War 3 visually weak.

They're spreading themselves thin and going to wear themselves out going at this rate.

But hey, it's a good way to identify and weed out all the (stealth) trolls, so I'm all for it.

What exactly did you expect, when we've seen what the game looks like several months ago, and the new screens look better and more detailed? Its not like this is the first time they've shown it, so that there's no reference point for what to expect.

*edit*

Ah yes, it was him, and he actually sounded dead serious about it...

Seriously, if that's an in-game model that would be just fuckin ridiculous... and i'd like to see better if anyone has any examples. The model is almost perfect, tessellation issues down to an absolute minimum, the skin shader is superb and the texture detail in general is also pretty crazy especially on the head.

Love it, santa monica has great artists. Cant wait to see more.

Can't wait. Bought my PS3 for THIS game and no other.

I'm just starting to worry it won't be as good as 1 or 2. Not sure why.

I'm still buying day one though.
Thats what I originally thought. But then I heard pretty much the same team who made the first two games is working on the third game. I'm sure this should be a top game.

Stealth trolling truly is an art form.

Best part is, they even have his muscle animations done right. Down to sixpack stretching/squishing (you could actually see this in the trailer)

Well I didn't see those screens so that's not really my problem. What I expected was something new, I expected epic environments, not the same old type of characters running through the same old routines. The scale of the trailer looks great to me but these images suggest nothing of the sort.

I'd say these images don't even do the franchise justice. Hell if they're going to go with a more dark 'edge' for the art then they should go all the way instead of this half hearted watered down mess. There's nothing in these screens that I couldn't do in the original, except fight a massive golden lion thing- which actually looks pretty cool.

Don't get me wrong, the game shows promise with the whole Titans trailer, and the characters and animation will no doubt be flawless. But the rest of it just seems pretty so so from these screens.

Would you (and others) kindly back off with the running commentary on the trolls in this thread?
 
This game looks like Age of Conan in a big bad way. The art design is nearly identical and the graphics aren't far off. Not saying that's a bad thing, just that the resemblance is striking.
 
The game will be epic in narrative and visuals. The thing that will set it apart from other games will be the sheer fun i will have with this game!

What are you talking about man?

Did I even mention graphics?

I'm one of the biggest God of War freaks you'd ever meet. I'm also one of the few smarter GAFfers who knows the first game is better than the second game thanks to the lack of CONSTANT puzzles and QTEs the second game is flooded with
including Zeus at the end
.

Just because someone isn't a blind fanboy, doesn't make them a troll. I adore God of War, but if the second game was not quite as good as the first, and now the third game is coming to hardware that ISN'T already 5 years old by the time they get to it, then it's only natural to assume the third game might dip in quality again.

Don't blame me, blame the godliness of God of War 1.

Once again, I'm more than happy to PM you my PSN ID if it makes you feel better.
 
These screens look pretty simple and bland to me. Not very good shots to release. I want to see some of the flashier set pieces, they really stepped that up in God of War 2 so it'll be neat to see how crazy they can get this time around.

You know exactly what I'm talking about.
I've read enough of your previous posts to know what you did with your post here.
No need to defend your GoW or PS3 credentials.

And I couldn't care less what your PSN ID is, as it proves absolutely nothing.

It's a shame though that most people don't know even half of the technical and artistic prowess in some games unless they're an artist or coder themselves.

The game looks slick as hell, it's got attitude and tons of style.
GoW-titles have always looked beautiful in motion and I doubt this one will be a disappointment. I was really impressed by the Trailer released, really dynamic animations as always. :)

Of course it doesn't right?

I'm sure many Australians would pay $1025AU on a console JUST to be able to have 'licence' to troll the PS3 on GAF to piss YOU off right?

So because I'm also pissed off with Killzone controls, I MUST be a troll yeah? Get fucked.

So I'm sure you DIDN'T read my posts then about Uncharted, not to mention getting into the BETA, and about inFAMOUS or any of the other PS3 games I love? Like Valkyria Chronicles?

Of course not, as a more traditional PS3 owner, you probably don't even HAVE those games right? Isn't that what you guys are known for? Not buying any of the GOOD games that come out on the system?
