God of War 3
 

this game will probally be the best game on the PS3. can't wait till the end of the year.

Another Xbox killer!!! Microsoft better think of something quick!!!

You better believe it. This game is going to put the PS3 on top of the gaming industry.

Never played God of War. Ever

This is one of the only reasons I wish I owned a PS3.

Um... no. Looks great, though.

The console needs more games like this.

Well, I've got a PSP (new 3000 model, bitch) in the mail with Chains of Olympus not far behind and a nice little collection of games (Jeanne D'Arc, Vice City Stories, Crisis Core FF Tactics) already here, and my brother is getting a PS3 this week, so things are shaping up nicely in my immediate gaming future.

You guys are a little delusional.

I have seen nothing from this game that makes me want a PS3 any more. I mean there hasn't been enough video of it to make any judgment on it at this point.

I mean sure the series is great...I've played all three games. But I want to see something new. Something...anything.

This is not a console seller, but it is going to be amazing nonetheless.

There is a new video out for it go to IGN.com. It's awesome.

Half the reasons I wanted a PS3 were announced as multiplatform later on. I'll probably grab one way later on.

IGN.com?! What's that?!

I don't think I can remember the last time a game trailer made me excited for a game. I mean sure it uses the in-game engine, but its still showcasing the <u>same</u> <u>game</u>. Gameplay footage would appease me better.

And it is the end of the trilogy, yes...so I will give it some slack. But I still want some evolution of gameplay somewhere.

Ya know... switching up the gamplay isn't always the right thing to do. Something sticking with what works and pumping it full of next-gen power while tweaking what was weak in the past is all you need. I'm not saying release the same game, but DMC4 is largely unchanged from DMC3 save for about three mechanics that alter gameplay. Even then it pretty much plays a lot like part 3, and I could care less because it's an awesome engine to begin with. Sometimes an update is good enough, and people need to stop expecting the second coming with these franchises.

It's actually very rare to see a jump like RE: Zero to RE4.

I'm not saying change the gameplay. I'm saying evolve it. Resident Evil is the perfect example. It's still by and large the same game...they just made a refreshing version. I had no problem converting to RE4 from the others (I just played RE3, RE: CVX, and RE4 back-to-back-to-back). It felt like the series always had, which was nice.

I think God of War will possibly achieve some of this with what they have discussed as a big change in the game: the amount of enemies, and how you fight them all rather than focusing on one or two enemies only to have an occasional attack hit others around as well. If they achieve stuff like what was in the trailer (the whole ram into tons of enemies only to break out of the pile), I will be somewhat appeased. New weapons will not do it for me, not unless the weapons bring a greater sense of strategy to the game. But that's getting a little too hopeful. This game isn't much about strategy. I mean sure some creatures are better fought with some weapons or attacks, but by and large you can get through the game without much bothering with what weapon you are using.

GoW is a great game series, but I always found it overrated.

It happened with the first two. The hype hit me, and then when I picked it up, I was underwhelmed. I think this will be good, but I see the same thing happening.

Given how long they had to make this thing, there should be some welcome revisions. And the dog pile thing would be a great effect during battle. They keep throwing 'Scale' around as a key term so I guess changes will be related to that.

Study beats hype 100% of the time, but you knew that, did you?

I'm horrible at checking out games before I buy them, because I tend to be cheap. Even so, after doing my research before buying, I was still underwhelmed after I played the final result. Not a bad game by any stretch of the imagination, but this one just seems majorly overhyped for what it is.

But...this one may make me change my mind. We'll see though.

It looks like GoW3 will be more of the same, just pumped with flash and some gameplay tweaks for tone and scale.

If this debuted on PS3, you could view the hype as suspect, but it came out on a console with a lot of great games on it prior. I'm not a big fan of GoW (don't dig the aesthetic) but it's a well put together game. Just not my cup of tea.

A friendly reminder:

District 9 hits store shelves tomorrow. The Blu-ray version has the God of War 3 demo on it.

That is all.

lol What?

probably just a trailer or some gameplay footage

No, it's the demo of God of War 3. It was announced a while back.

really?! damn I will have to check that out

That's some random cross promotion.

God of War III demo included on District 9 Blu-ray

<!-- sphereit start --><CENTER>http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.c...10/gow1028.jpg</CENTER>If you're interested in checking out God of War 3 early, but don't want to play the first two God of Wars again, Sony corporate synergy has a solution for you! The Blu-Ray release of District 9, due December 29 (a bit later than the God of War Collection), will include a playable demo of God of War 3. Once you've played through the demo, a making-of featurette will be unlocked (for the game, not the movie).

While District 9 and God of War 3 are united in that they're both things that people presumably want to see, it strikes us as odd that this rather random collection is the first Blu-ray/game demo pairing for SCEA. The Watchmen movie and game actually related to one another in some way, and they came on separate discs.

awesome. thanks Clockshot

Will the demo be released on PSN later on?

Need to play the first two God of War games

get the god of war pack that's been remastered for the ps3, that will put you up to date. I haven't played the second one, but I beat the first one.

I assume it will be.

The demo also comes with the gow collection.

Finally got around to playing the demo of this today.

Simply incredible. Gonna go throw money down on this tomorrow.

Go get District 9 or the God of War collection NOW!

Friend got District 9 and he let me install the demo onto my system. :cool:


Pretty freaking awesome. I'll have to go back and play the first two now.

Anybody standing in line tonight for midnight release?
