Rumour – God of War III details leaked

godofwara5

This GameFAQs forum post claims to have info on God of War III from an upcoming Game Informer feature.

Official details are embargoed until this Friday, with a press event taking place for the game in LA last night.

This lot doesn’t sound amazingly far-fetched, to be fair:

Unlike God of War 1 and 2 where there are only 15 enemies on screen, there will now be around 50 this time.

You can ride monsters like the Cyclops and “control”.

Kratos on the PS2 used 5,000 polygons, now he uses 20,000.

They made the weapons “better” so it adds more variety. Like with a different weapon, you don’t get just a couple different attacks, but a whole different play style.

The lion gauntlets are called Cestus.

Enemy AI’s are a lot smarter. Some of the enemies will be “commanders” and control the other grunts.

Enemies will look different, even if they’re the same type. Like, even though the skeleton soldiers are in the same category, they will have varied looks, so it’s not like everyone looks the same.

More boss fights than GoW 1, but less than GoW 2.

No multiplayer.

Hades boss fight confirmed.

We’ll know everything officially at 9.00am PST on Friday. Thanks, Johnny Cullen.

Seems good. I think ‘bigger, better, more, shinier’ is all anyone wants. Don’t mess with it too much!

I’m excited. If it’s what it’s supposed to be I reckon Sony’s got its first proper “must-have” for the core.

Was a subtle dig at Epic I detected, Blerk?

I agree Patlike; This is the game that could sell the PS3 to me.

Not that I can afford one, but hey, at least I’d *want* one.

The price has to come down a little bit this year, shirley?

I can’t imagine that it won’t. Then again, if you’d asked me the same question this time last year, I’d have had the same response.

If its got real time weapon change for some crazy chaining it’ll be an instant buy fer me

Ja. Well, we’ll see. I guess it may not come down until next year. It still does feel a little “early” for proper movement. I’ve only just turned mine on, really.

Pat… YOUR first must-have title on the system.

Mine is still yet to come, probably after God of War at this point. I just have the sytem to enjoy other’s must-haves, like Uncharted, MGS4 or Killzone 2.

I am all in wait for a totally different game.

Is this certain game being made by a team whose name begins with I and ends with O?

Trying to think of a smarmy retort, by finding a team that starts with an I and ends with an O, but fuck it.

YOU KNOW IT!

Everything else is just gravy, but you gotta remember at the moment I am eating a plate of gravy.

For a Sony fan, you sure don’t like many Sony games, Pud.

Blerk, you insult me. ‘Fan’!?

Won fucking awards and you still don’t have the decency to use the right term.

Anyway, lets say the gravy is really awesome, and for some reason it’s in a bowl, so it’s more like eating some sort of stew.

Seriously though, I am fan enough for actually thinking it was weird Pat said ‘finally’ a must-have title. There are plenty of must-have titles, it’s all horses for courses.
