God of War 3 trailer gives first look at the PS3 blockbuster

Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) announced today, the unveil of God of War 3 — the last installment of the multi-million unit franchise — exclusively on the PlayStation 3. The first gameplay trailer was unveiled last night (see below) at the Spike TV Video Game Awards in Los Angeles, showcasing the game’s beautiful cinematography and its groundbreaking depth of scale that is four times larger than its predecessor on the PlayStation 2’s God of War 2. Developed by Sony Computer Entertainment’s, Santa Monica Studios, God of War 3 will bring epic battles to life with stunning graphics and an elaborate plot that puts Kratos at the center of the carnage and destruction as he seeks revenge against the Gods who have betrayed him.

“We have large shoes to fill following the success of the previously released God of War titles,” said Stig Asmussen, Game Director for God of War 3. “But with refined gameplay and jaw-dropping visuals, I guarantee that God of War will give fans what they have been eagerly waiting for, and much more.”

Set in the realm of Greek mythology, God of War 3 is a single-player game that 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.

The revenge of Kratos will soon be at hand, as seen in this first God of War 3 gameplay trailer.

Can’t wait either! Jaffe says God of War 3 looks 25-30% better than that trailer!

I sure hope they can make GOW3 longer. GOW2, while satisfying, felt way too short. I hear a lot of people complaining about how the trailer looks-granted, it’s not what I’d expect of a PS3 game, but development is still continuing, so I expect to see a much better end result. In any case, I’m still a huge GOW fan, so I’m buying a PS3 specifically for this game.

I commented a post on here about MGS5. Some guy said please make MGS4 for the 360 and I replied the raw power of a MGS game could blow his 360 up and I believe God of War would do the same. Dont be mad at the creators for just making these games on PS3. There just concerned fo your safety.

Anyone is wondering like me, where the Blade of Olympus is? If the Titans have it, its bad; if the Gods have it, its worse!
