God of War III

[RuNNing Riot]

Heck, I'm surprised there isn't already a thread for this. Or, there might be, but the search feature is clearly very useful by called the words 'god' and 'war' too common (or having to wait fifteen seconds between each search, but that's a different story). So I made one here.

God of War III takes place right after the events of God of War II, with Kratos upon Gaia's back eager to exact vengeance on the gods and make them suffer. As seen in the trailers, the whereabouts of the Blade of Olympus is unknown, even though Kratos had been wielding the blade at the end of God of War II. Little information has been released on the battle between the Gods and Titans that will explain the end of Greek mythology. A more recent screenshot shows Helios on his knees with a bloodied face, Kratos is also in the picture grasping the god's head, about to tear it off with his bare hands. A game demo released at E3 2009 shows Kratos, with assistance from Perses, bringing down Helios and his chariot and then ripping off the god's head.

Set in the realm of Greek mythology, God of War III for the last time puts Kratos at the center of the carnage and destruction as he seeks revenge against the Gods who have betrayed him. A single-player game, this final chapter allows players to take on the climatic role of the ex-Spartan warrior, Kratos, as he treads through the intimidating heights of Mt. Olympus and the dark depths of Hell once more to seek revenge on those who have betrayed him. Armed with double-chained blades, Kratos must take on mythology's darkest creatures while solving intricate puzzles throughout his merciless quest to destroy Olympus.

Utilizing a new game engine built from the ground up and state-of-the-art visual technologies, the development team behind God of War 3 have made significant strides in giving players the realistic feel of actually being on the battlegrounds. With texture resolutions being quadrupled since God of War 2, God of War 3 will feature fluid, life-like characters, as well as dynamic lighting effects, a robust weapon system, and world-changing scenarios that will truly bring unmistakable realism to Kratos' fateful quest. Players will have a chance to join battles on a grand scale with many more enemies on-screen and be able to interact with levels like never before.

I probably won't be regularly updating this, so anybody who's got the latest news on the game's development would be most welcome.

Discuss!

I cannot wait for this game, lmao. I was thinking of buying a PS3 just for it, but if it's anything like the other two, it's gonna be extremely short.


Played I, II, and Chains of Olympus. This one looks better.

God of War... if you like history, violence, or awesome you really don't have an excuse as to why you haven't played any of them.

Overall from the trend that they've done with the series they've improved on most faults and extended the play value and enjoyment for anyone that has played it.

By the looks of this one they made the alternate weapons be a valuable tool for you unlike the second game where they were for the most part gimmicks. Haven't gotten a chance to look at it too much as of late but I'll be keepin my ears open for news.

Now excuse me as I wait for SSF4 to arrive and blow my mind.
