God of War III – first trailer and Q&A

First!

Second trailer, no?

Bloody hell :S

Very very awsum

I say first official trailer, the trailer showed during those gaming awards looked more like a Teaser instead of a full trailer.

Looks real good.

That’s frigging mental.

*buys four*

Oh that’s good.

Hope my hand doesn’t fall off like it nearly did playing the first one…

here’s an other preview

and an interview with the game director

i guess he’s hanging of a titan climbing something, but where? cause he killed everyone in godland already.

PS: Awesome!

Holy crap, that’s insane.

HOLY FUCK!

Added the Worthplaying links, Rudolph.

Wow. Very very nice one.

Holy hell! I don’t have words for how cool that looks! Finally I can begin to understand what Jaffe meant by his recent statements about GoW III!

@El_MUERkO

Kratos is hanging on the back of Gaia, the Earth Mother Titan. They started climbing Mount Olympus at the end of GoW II.

Epic trailer made out of pure awesomeness.

This is the real deal – the system seller Sony have been looking for.

Kratos > Master Chief? I suppose time will tell.

Haha SticKboy, Kratos > Master Chief any day of the week.

master chief being hidden in his armour allowed you to ‘be him’, in a sense you were master chief, kratos is some one the player aspires or wishes to be, we’re taken on his journey by him

as characters go kratos is definitely the cooler

Are we comparing a future cyborg FPS character whom you control in first person with a fictional mythological character who’s in a hack’n'slash game and depicted in third person?

In terms of adrenaline rush, i’d say that they were comparable experiences tbh.

Right, I see what you’re getting at.

I think they’re both great in their own right, really. I can’t seem to weigh up one against the other.

Both are just brilliant characters, imo.

The G4 interviews… They make it sound like Shadow of the God of War. Not in any deep way, literally with the (again literal) Colossi.

But… It’s a superb team, can’t wait to see how it turns out.

Master Chief as someone said is a shell of armour you inhabit, who is synonymous with awesome. He is iconic.

Kratos is iconic too, but he actually is a character. One that is a rebel god, and he is badass.

God of War is the only game that Sony has produced a badass with, and that is really important if you ask me. Drake might be more badass in Uncharted 2, that might be Naughty Dog’s aim… But I hope not.

I’m stunned that more people on Jonny Interweb seem to be of the view that this game will shift PS3 hardware than will KZ2 or has LBP. I just don’t get it. Isn’t it just a pretty hack-n-slash arcade game? Is that better than a visceral shooter or a revolutionary platformer/physics game?

It’s not a new IP and the pervious games were good.

I wouldn’t pay much attention to Jonny Interweb. Most of us don’t have a clue what we’re talking about.

Just strikes me as one of those games where you can do well simply by hitting X as fast and as much as possible. I played the Chains of Olympus demo on PSP and came away thinking similarly.

Okay, not literally just one button, but you know what I mean.

That’s super-aweswome! Do we know if it’s actually real-time? I have an inbuilt sense of suspicion where Sony reveals are concerned these days.
