God of War III will be at E3

Has the stage been set for Kratos' PS3 debut?
It's being reported that a Sony rep has let slip at the GDC Paris event that God of War III will make its debut at E3 next month in Los Angeles.

According to a few different French sites the game's not likely to be playable at E3, but to be fair, it's not expected out before the back end of 2009 anyway, so that doesn't surprise us.

The only official mention of the game in recent months was an ad on the back of the manual for GoW: Chains of Olympus, saying that the game was "coming soon".

While no further details are available, we'll be hoping to see some in-game action though, rather than a load of CGI - preferably of Kratos going mental and stabbing a giant Cyclops in the eye with two rusty blades, before ripping his jaw off his face and using it to beat his mother to death.

We've contact Sony's UK office for clarification on what's actually been said at the Paris event and will update you accordingly.

It will be interesting to see how far they are able to push the PS3 at this point in it's life.

The PS2 God of War games were technical marvels, as was the PSP game.

God of War III and ICO 2 are the games that will end Xbox 360 and cause Bill Gates charity foundation to become bankrupt.

I don't want any shooting in either of these games please. That is for the xbots only.

Thanks, Suivaloom

Good old Sony, showing off a game that won't be released for a good 18 months... have they not realised that this can actually p**s people off.

I'll look forward to seeing if there's any news on the game. God of War 3 will probably be the game to make me buy a PS3.
ginsin on 24 Jun '08
Im not a huge fan of God of War, its a good series but i fell it gets more praise than it actually deserves. God of War 1 was very good but two was a lazy clone that added very little to the series, hopefully GoW3 will delivery to me the experience some people claim to have had with the prior games in the series.

You can never have too much God of War. The original was one of the best games I've played for a decade.

Excellent news - am preparing myself to be blown away by GoW 3

Well you've had 3 decades of gaming you loser, no wonder you are hard to impress.

I'll warn you now to save your dissapointment : There are no guns or shooting in GoW. So don't cry when you go home, get in your padded cell, and fire it up.

Assgay.
Suivaloom on 24 Jun '08
This may very well be the game that I buy a PS3 for. I've never been too excited by the Metal Gears (I found them a bit too talky) and loved the action of GoW. Only Shadow of the Colossus beat it on the PS2, I reckon.

sigh. Microsoft showed Gears of War in May of 2005, and the game didn't come out until (drum roll please) Nov. 2006, about eighteen months later. that didn't stop the fans from drooling over it, nor did it stop it from being a friggin good game.

no matter how you look at it, a public unveiling of God of War 3 can only be a good thing. lets just keep it as simple as that for a change.

Touche... but they haven't been ramming that down peoples throats every few weeks with a new batch of screen shots have they?

I'm so sick of seeing LBP and KZ2 pics and videos that I no longer care for either game... anticipation has become apathy.

This, along with FF13, are the two major AAA games that will shift consoles if they fulfill their poetntial.
My only major concern is that the director left the studio some time ago. He was a major creative force behind Gof of War 2 and the PSP game. Sony seem to have played this down but I feel it's of major concern but hopefully there are other talented individuals that can set into his shoes...
vulcanraven01 on 25 Jun '08
I thought the first was the best one too, although I enjoyed the 2nd one better on the 2nd play through. QT events are okay but they were just too quick in GoW 2 especially when you need to watch the cut scene again to replay - Zeus final battle I'm looking at you.

I wonder however what they will do to use the power of the PS3, hopefully improve the jaggies from the in game engine cutscenes (some looked horrible in GoW2) and have tonnes of Titan on God fighting action.

Burn Olympus to the ground!!

i think your in the minority on this one....
i love gow and i dont know anyone who doesnt like it
JAKEevans on 25 Jun '08
Excellent!

By the time this comes out I should have a PS3! (It will take a year of convincing the fiance that i need "another" console heh). Wonder how much it will cost then!
Petebrolly on 25 Jun '08
Hummm, i plyaed GOD of War 1 & 2 recently i do feel that sony will have to pull something good out of the bag to make sure they dont repeat the same gameplay elements.

The press x ,o ,Tri shen mu gameplay has been done to death, i hope this isnty just going to be god of war 2 with a new lick of paint
willbrowne81 on 25 Jun '08
Really should pull my finger out and play a God of War game.
*Bosker* on 25 Jun '08
I reckon Kratos being in SC alongside Vader is a more exciting prospect. Bring it on!

To be fair on Gears of War, for the first 6 months after it was first shown the console wasn't on sale either, so between console and game release about a year.

Whereas we've been force fed Killzone 2 shots for the last 18 months and its still at least 6 months from release.

Oh, do you really want to go there again?

I seem to recall that last time you tried it on you wound up first desperately trying to defend yourself with an alternate account, then finally running crying to an Admin begging to get me banned.

It didn't work out too well last time, you think this time will be any better?

Now if there's no thing that can get you banned around these parts, it's posting homophobic messages.

Admin!

I've heard this is the last GOW Sony will be making.

I hope (Sony or no Sony) God of War turns into a real "legacy" sort of series like Tomb Raider or Mortal Kombat, where it's always around no matter how tired everyone gets of it!

It seems nowadays you play a game and it's awesome and you long for a sequel and it never comes.

Like Black for the PS2, one of the best shooters i've ever played but where's the sequel? Where's the developer milking the success of a previous edition to make a few quid?

I look forward to playing God of War XIII the revenge of Kratos' Mother's Armpit demon!

And you blame me for using the alternate account trick SunScandal?

May try out the previous god of war's as I've never played them but always hear good things about them. Can't be anymore boring than looking up the bottom end of a gun Laughing

Oh please.....you troll these boards trying to call out SunScramble all day - then, when he finally turns up and shows you to be the a*** that we all already know you are, you pull your typical 'too-cool-for-school' card and call him a loser.

Seriously Suivaloom - you go get a life, you're becoming really boring, really quick.

OK good infos.But God of War 3 dont interest me.Sure the God of War games are good,but it is an hack and slash.The only thing I want to see is TEAM ICOs ps3 project/Shadow of the colossus sequel or something new from TEAM ICO.Shadow of the Colossus was more amazing than God of War 1&2 and metal gear solid 3 combined in my personal opinion. Wink
ancient-spirit on 25 Jun '08
Shadow of the Colossus was more epic than metal gear solid 3 and god of war 1&2 combined.I played all 4 games.And in my opinion Shadow of the Colossus deserves more praisings than metal gear solid 3 and god of war 1&2 combined.TEAM ICOs ps3 project will blow me away more than God of War 3 and Metal Gear Solid 4 combined.Fumito Ueda/Team Ico will blow the competition like metal gear solid 4 and god of war 3 away with their new game.For sure.
ancient-spirit on 25 Jun '08
Sony shows God of War 3,Final Fantasy 13/versus,LBP,Killzone 2,Resistance 2,motorstorm 2,Infamous...and many others.But sadly Crying or Very sad those games dont appeal to me.I have bought a playstation 3 for TEAM ICOs ps3 project/Shadow of the colossus sequel.Shadow of the colossus had a score of 97 at IGN without hype.I hope that Team Ico will present their new game at E3 or TGS...or maybe GDC 2009.

Suvivaloom you boring retard get a live.We dont need s**t games with guns and war...How many shooters are released?Maybe 10000000000000000000x.What we need are EPIC masterpiece adventures like Shadow of the colossus/Ico.WAR and guns never changed games and never will.Mark my words.The most important things in a game is that you have fun and good memories.The Shadow of the Colossus memories in my head are stronger than every other game.
