The game many are calling “Epic” is finally here. God of War III is the last piece to the trilogy featuring ex-Spartan Kratos against… everyone else. Greek Gods and Titans will have to face his Blades of Exile bounded by chains to his arms and dripping with blood. The opening cinematics preview flashbacks of Kratos’ previous adventures in God of War I and II. The suffering he’s gone through, the chaos he has caused but most importantly the revenge he seeks is what keeps this warrior alive. Given the name Ghost of Sparta and eventually dethroning Ares as the new God of War has not been a peaceful journey for Kratos. You’ll battle Titans, go face to face with Greek Gods with plenty of blood to go around. God of War III, developed by Santa Monica Studios concludes the trilogy with our hero Kratos, the new God of War, seeking what he fights for most, vengeance! Will he (and Santa Monica Studios) earn the term, Epic?
Ok PerezStart.com followers. There’s good news and bad news. Good news is there’s a God of War 3 Demo that we have been playing and loving with our official impressions coming Monday. Bad news is we couldn’t get a Demo code for you guys… yet (we’ll try). So make sure you come back Monday since we’ll have a full write-up on the Demo, with screens for viewing. For now, enjoy these screens featuring Kratos in these never before seen demo screenshots of everyone’s favorite Titan killer, Kratos!
These images are from Germany ala the GamesCon that is currently running. You might know our friend, Kratos, the God of War? Well, you’ll just love these new images setting up God of War III’s release date of 2010. Enjoy!
It’s coming March 2010. Unfortunately, God of War will be coming to an end. But what an ending!
During Sony’s E3 press conference, a live demo of the game was shown. Kratos looked absolutely amazing on the PS3, and I could only imagine what he’ll look like when I get him home. Kratos’ brutal fighting moves has only gotten stronger with age as the demo showed him riding harpies to progress through the level, only to completely butcher them when he reaches his final destination. He then battles a mid-boss Hydra. The battle changes as each head is cut off. When a head is removed, the battle stance of the hydra changes to the head that’s currently fighting (i.e. battle with the snake head meant the enemy would be at a lateral stance; battle with the lion head would have the enemy standing on two feet)
If the title above didn’t attract your attention this next sentence will. Sony is asking you, the gamer, on whether you would like to see God of War I and II on a Blu-ray disc bundled in with God of War III. Many of you without Backwards Compatible consoles truly have not experienced 2 of my top 10 PS2 Games of all time. So it looks like SCEA may grant those requests.
For those who’ve played ‘God of War’ on the PS2 appreciated the fantastic gameplay, innovative challenges and great graphics. Then came, ‘God of War 2′. Which upgraded all the ingredients that made the original a success. While many GOW fans prayed the “720p” resolution rumor was true on the PS3, that myth was debunked and an acceptable “480p” is what Sony gave us instead. Read more…
Posted on artists’ page, Cecil Kim, are some images of God of War artwork featuring a miniature Kratos and the massive Atlas in flames. Several pics show off some of the great work and pics that will make a great desktop wallpaper. Looking at these pics give us an idea just how big Titans are in the God of War series. If you recall, Atlas, was one of the biggest characters in God of War 2. In one part of the game, you’d never know that you’re actually walking ON HIM, until you reach his face.
Sony’s latest Press Release, mentions God of War III coming THIS Year!
Kicking off the new line up, Killzone®2 is set to launch on February 27, 2009 and promises to be the industry’s first major gaming hit for 2009 as well as a key driver for PlayStation®3 (PS3™) hardware sales. Killzone 2 is the third installment of the popular PlayStation-exclusive franchise, and the first of the series to appear on PS3. Delivering a truly immersive experience only possible through PS3’s Blu-ray gaming potential, Killzone 2 is already generating wide-spread critical acclaim, earning an impressive Metacritic score of 92.
God of War 1 and God of War 2, are in my top 10 games for the PS2! I may have to bump them in my “all-time” list, but I won’t blow you away with that now. Enjoy the trailer, which Sony is calling the “Conclusion” of the 3-part series. I really hope not!
