DevilWillcry said:I like Devil May Cry, but don't let my username fool you, God of War is the king of the action genre. Especially after seeing how DMC4 and NG2 turned out this gen ewww.
NG2 turned out better than DMC4, but God of War III is a first party game setting out to sell hardware, so I'm expecting a bit more from it.kpop100 said:I am in the minority, but I really didn't mind NG2, except for the mad slowdown in areas. But I have high hopes for GoW3.
Littleberu said:Yeah, just like that. What is it with Sony fans and over inflating hype? Everything has to set a new standard, and even if Killzone DID turn out to be amazing looking, it's probably of the first game to do so in Sony's lineup. .

GOD OF WAR III. Kratos soon arrives on the PlayStation 3 and only the VGAs will bring you the first-ever glimpse at this game. And let me put all you skeptics to rest right now. Im happy to confirm youll be seeing real-time gameplay footage.

Can't wait to see what this looks/plays like.

Visually amazing doesn't mean pushing more polygons. I did not mean to imply that.Dirtbag said:Actually what he said is, the game is going to look better then anything to date, resembling a painting and setting new graphical standards.
RubxQub said:Too strong a statement.
I don't think SotC did anything that people thought couldn't be done. If you put really nice looking big things on a screen, you're going to run at 5-10 fps, which is what that game did. The AI for the Colossi was nothing crazy, so it's not like the game was looking amazing, running smoothly and had complex algorithms being executed throughout.
The game's presentation was amazing, but lets not pretend that it did something that it didn't.
The God of War series is definitely a visual achievement on the PS2, and I won't contend that one.
Recent rumors are suggesting that MGS4 is finally coming over the biggestrival of Sony... the xbox 36. And this would be bad in a lot of cases, since Sony was pretty firm on the game being "EXCLUSIVE" not only would this make them look stupid, it'd also mean we could never, ever, ever, ever trust another PR rep again.
To me, knowing everything that I know about Sony's upcoming future now, it means little to none. MGS is an after thought to what Sony's console is about to give us.
Only 60% of the PS3's SPE's are being used for Killzone 2
This should lay rest to a lot of those"Ps3 is under powered" rumors as Killzone 2 is easily set to be the best looking console game on the market soon. What does this say for the growth of the industry, though? Sure 60% of the Ps3's power is being used and the game looks great but has any system ever been fully tapped? Was the Ps2 ever pushed past 60% of it's available power? I'm not so sure that it was... are any of you?
Ps3 has maintained a solid lead, easily eclipsing its minor set back for seven weeks back in the fall.
It looks like to me (resident Sony fanboy of the tilt) that Sony has once again solidified their next gen crown in Japanese soil. It also looks like Square-Enix is going to do about as much for Microsoft in Japan as Shit does for Chocolate icing on a cake -- Just my take.
Wake up gamers... Installs are bad, remember? The media taught us that installs were bad because the Ps3 has them or is this different because it's on the xbox 360? The only system leading the charge in digital downloads and installs is the Ps3. They are the only system you can buy that allows a full game install on the hdd without the use of a disc... The same system that the media baked under the sun on a cross because they gave you the option to do so.
Now while it might seem like news on the exterior they couldn't resist taking a jab at Sony in the end with that absurd two way split "Good for those who don't like them and bad for those who do" As if that is even fuckin' applicable here you stupid Dick Twist. I hate Kotaku and this only furthers the hatred I have for them even more... They are trying to put it into gamers heads that Installs are now good and it's a shame for them to not include the "option" to do it. And why is this you ask? Because xbox 360 just got optional install features inside the NXE.
Games Blow and I crossed paths on NeoGaf back in January and I quickly didn't like the guy. He would come into a thread, disrupt it and talk about this and that and how he knew this and that and then he'd leave and people would follow this guys word like he was speakin' Gospel.

They need to put a muzzle on some people, because it creates unrealistic expectations.
The whole 1080P native res at 60fps sounds like some bullshit & why even start that conversation and level of expectations...
I'm sure GOW III will look amazing, but I remember some "Sony insider" claiming that Heavenly Sword was on a visual level with FF Advent Children; now we all know that's a ridiculous claim.
EmCeeGramr said:We need to stop listening to this guy. He said that "uncharted 2 has snow and is like mgs" and suddenly his blog is a prophet.
PLEASE look at his other posts.

..."Games Blow" is the guy that apparently is talking about GoW and is a Sony sales marketing employee. And he's a GAF user.
RubxQub said:Visually amazing doesn't mean pushing more polygons. I did not mean to imply that.
I would say "Mission Accomplished" if the NEXT-generation would run with smooth 720p and 30fps without dips and tearing, and I bow to any dev that accomplishes 720p/30fps without performance drops these days. Yup, pretty low standards right here, but what can you expect when you have a tearing and below 30 fps experience in almost every hd game.MvmntInGrn said:Yes thats too much, maybe someone will pull that off in a disc release before this gen is over but not now.
720p/30fps is likely, if they could pull 60 off that would be godly.
As far as HS looking like AC, AC is CG and that just cannot be done with these machines. HS is still very pretty and the 4xAA sure does make it look very smooth, not to mention its character models were outstanding their skin looked for real than AC IMO.

It's likely that they'll close out the story arc on this game and make it the end of the trilogy.norinrad21 said:Aren't they running this franchise into the ground by releasing so many games?
norinrad21 said:Aren't they running this franchise into the ground by releasing so many games?
I agree that SotC was something of a technical achievement on the PS2, but considering it ran at sub 30fps (probably somewhere around 15 with dips even lower) indicates it was even beyond the ps2 capabilites. That to me puts God of War 2 well ahead of it in my eyes.Issun23 said:Tell me of any other game that allows you to interact with enemies like Shadow of the Colossus did. Tell me of any other game that has levels that move; the polygons your character is walking on deforming constantly.

Oh and don't forget to find a game with better character animations.
How would that even benefit the God of War gameplay style?CurlySaysX said:I hope the power of Cell allows the developers of GOD3 to have a behind the character view like in Warhawk. IMO.

So who is he? It'd be funny if his "source" turned out to be some dude banned from GAF for bullshit.BeeDog said::lol . But you have to admit it would be fun if what he says actually is true, especially after all the (so far deserved) hate the site has gotten.
And why do you do that? Cause the Pussy Squirt who wrote that blog entry is the video editor of the site. ... He, for all we know, is a paid Microsoft shill.
Now that you know the editor is a blatant bias Twat Rash... you can't. How can you put GT's scores in with an overall % at a meta site? You can't. Gametrailers with 1 blog post from a guy who simply edits videos has been brought down to Gamespots level in just 1 night.
Shane Satterfield should fire this editor and then give a response.
Why you ask? Cause they're faggot. Simple as that... if you're a guy, over 21 and socially active, these avatars are an embarrassment. Remember the Yaho avatars? Remember how you could dress them up? Well, same difference... only now instead of only the person you're e-mailing seeing them, the entire xbox 360 community does.
The facts are the facts.. these are too cute to appeal to such an established "hardcore" crowd. Sorry, Microsoft... these things are absurd. They might fly with women "who don't even game on the average" and prepubescent tweens. But the shit don't fly with me and my crew.
Avatars are queer.... I don't care how you put it. A 3-d, dress me up, avatar is nothing short of Barbie playhouse for the xbox 360 community.
Recently Microsoft has been on a bender about how they've sold 25 million xbox 360's in 3 years time... That in itself isn't that great, but since the sun is shining on their cats ass right now let's pretend it is. I mean, would you take cake from a retard? No... Same difference here.
What happens if --
("WE DON'T CARE!" pic)
Why you ask? Well, the guy who gave the review sounds like he just got out of a 3 hour rectal examination and that he just took a bottle of downers, but on top of that he said that Resistance 2 doesn't offer anything new. We've been there and done that.
All running 60 players, mind you. Yeah, I'd say that's just a bit different than anything we're use to on a console you DICK SKIN! So, while they're telling you not to buy the game... I'm asking you not to visit their site.
The scenario based levels are very short... 20 to 25 min a pop and there are only 4 of them. This means the "story mode" can be beat in 2 hours or less.
*no matter what you do or what kind of tv or cables you've got... your game won't even look as good as that shitty picture... Just a heads up*
(can't pick just one quote. He starts out with an Uncharted-best-game-evar comparison and how great Nathan Drake is)
manueldelalas said:Get's really annoying; Heavenly Sword (Goddess of War, lol), MGS4, LBP, KZ2 (why? the first one sucked), Motorstorm, Uncharted, Ratchet, GT5 (even prologue got hyped to no end) and GoW3. The FFXIII hype died down after the X360 announcement. Even Home is a victim of the SDF.
I know Nintendo and Microsoft do this, but it is not as bad as the PS3 games hype. Sure, Zelda, Smash, Halo and Gears get announced pretty early, but after their releases that is it. For PS3 it has been one hyped game after the other, and the games take years to release after the announcement.
Apparently it's a joke site.So who is he? It'd be funny if his "source" turned out to be some dude banned from GAF for bullshit.

Nobody is saying this. But the "wait for" meme isn't just accidentally tied to ps3 sales and games, for example.Basically,we shouldn't say good things about Ps3 exclusives. It's okay to rave about Galaxy, Mass Effect, Bioshock, GeoW, and Halo;but if you mention a ps3 exclusive you've just gone too far.

The game ran at horrible framerates.

"Like a painting come to life" does not imply that the game is going to be pushing a huge poly count. Maybe that means it's cell shading on top of a relatively higher poly model or something to that degree.Dirtbag said:???
Jaffe was quoted in saying GoW3 will set new graphical standards, looks like a painting (beyond even GearsofWar2 - his standard for graphical achievement), and become the best looking game on consoles.
I'm not following your polygon comment at all.
GOD why won't Sony fans just figure out that they've LOST and AREN'T ALLOWED TO BE HAPPY OR EXCITED ABOUT A SEQUEL TO ONE OF LAST GEN'S BEST GAMESmanueldelalas said:This is what happens when you want to take me out of context.
It is not bad to hype games, but when EVERY single exclusive game on a console get the hype treatment for 2 YEARS (or more which I suspect it is the case of GoW III) it gets annoying. Just that.

The wait for this game is definitely not healthy...there's too much anticipation.Pojo said:This kind of hype is unhealthy and can only lead to disappointment upon seeing the first jaggie.
I think Killzone is great and all, but it's incredibly overrated. I think technically there's only so much these consoles can handle, it's all about the artistry. And I didn't much like the choices they made in GoW 1 and 2, it looked very bland.
If it makes the bosses twice as big, though, it will have accomplished something. I'm buying regardless.
