On the whole though morriss, I agree with you. But I don’t agree with assigning that observation to one group of people and actively ignoring the same (and typically more pronounced) behaviour from another set of people. Principles are meaningless if you only ever apply them selectively.

Maybe, just maybe, this is actually his opinion and not a double-deception coated in bluff and guarded by lies?

And even any game that be that impressive, it’s God of War. I’m not big on the whole macho thing, but the God of Wars games have always had an epicness to them that most games could only hope to achieve.

Ask yourselves one thing, what can the GOW team do that Guerrilla or any of the other strong Sony first party Dev’s cant?

My feeling is that they are using a post process heavy engine akin to KZ2, and I base this theory on his “it’s painting-like” analogy.

But whatever the case may be, I guess we will see sometime in late 09 or early 2010.

What repressed and conservative corner of the world do you originate from? Lord forbid a human being actually… act like a huan being for a change.

A compliment that a game looks good? I fail to see how *that* would be damaging to them. If anything, it would get people more excited about the game…

Hopefully Sony will be releasing some media soon so we can see for ourselves.

If that’s true, I want to replace mine with his. We need more mothers like that! What a great woman.

I actually traded LBP in for Fallout3 yesterday. I’ve had 2 weeks of cutesy jumping around and can’t takes it no more!

Funnily enough the missus was more interested in watching me play Fallout than build a rocket in LBP. Until of course I pasted someone’s brain bits all over the walls with my gun. Chortle. She almost threw up!

I’m sure God of War 3 will be great. I just frankly wish there was more than two games every year on the PS3 worth thinking about. Unless someone can point out anything on the PS3 to me that’s worth getting remotely enthused about next year, other than Heavy Rain.

And please, dear god don’t say Killzone 2. I prefer my games to have at least *one* inventive quality about them to even matter. It’s just another FPS with a testosterone problem.

I don’t quite get the point about PS3 graphics though. Anyone whose ever bothered to check already knows the Xbox 360 has a more powerful graphics card. Though graphics aren’t a big deal if the game itself is up to scratch.

I’ve been too busy on weeknights to do any proper heavyweight gaming. Mainly playing Castlevania on DS and playing LBP with the wife on PS3.

I’ve been buying games on Saturdays and beating them on Sundays. Mirror’s Edge one week and Tomb Raider yesterday.

Tomb Raider’s pretty good. Doesn’t re-invent the wheel, it’s a bit buggy, but it’s well designed and more challenging than the last two.

Tidy darts, on my way over now. Erm, where do you live again?!

Oops, better watch what I say or I might be seen as an internet predator trying to ‘groom’ my prey. hahah! How old are you? Hope you are over 16 or I’m done for.

All joking aside, what game were you playing that kept you from the apparently seminal Gears2?

As for being in charge of stuff, I think people read far far far too much in to a couple of comments by people on the internet and believe that it sums up their entire persona and abilities. Besides, the guy’s repeatedly proved he’s got the credentials to lead game development.

And, as big a fanboy of God of War as I am, I can’t help thinking that Jaffe’s a bit biased.

But then, isn’t everyone?

I know it ain’t gonna happen, but I wish Epic could port Gears 2 to PS3. Even if it was yet another sub-standard PS3 port it would mean I could at least play it.

Gears, the one and only thing I miss about my old 360.
