God of War III to hit Spring 2009?

45
PSU Writes:

Beginning today, Gamestop and EB Games are taking pre-orders for God of War III. As of now they have the title listed to release March 2009 and for $59.99. Since Gamestop receives their release dates from their distributors, our guess is that SCEA plans to have God of War III ready sometime around Spring to Summer of 2009.

Yeah seriously Kevin...God of War is a good game but just a button smasher. You can beat the whole game using the same weapon and attack. Ninja Gaiden is an extreme action game. Takes mad skill to beat.

Thats not what I was going with this.

There a both button mashers.
Yes NG has mor eof an advanced combo and combat system and it has more combat elements but they are both very similar in design. Enter area and clear area of bad guys

trying to compare NG with GoW if both were movies is like trying to compare green fried tomatoes with 300 (in that order)

the problem with that is that every single GoW game was scheduled for release Holiday but bumped back to March. So if Sony is planning a March release I'd actually expect the game to drop in Fall. It's been a trend with the GoW franchise. Not that it's a bad thing. Obviously those extra months have paid off because GoW is a spectacular game every time it hits the market... But if the development plan is March I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually released in the Fall...

At the end of the day we all know how reliable retailers are. absolutely, positively 100% not reliable. Guaranteed Sony would say that there's no release date scheduled if asked right now...

ThaModzRaJoke, Yup. Just like it takes mad skill and effort to change a leaking pipe, compared to calling a plumber to fix it and making love to my GF at her house while waiting.

But I'll tell ya which one is more fun ...

But March is the month for these games. I think we will see it March 2009, or it will get delayed to March 2010. haha

They just want your money sat in their bank making interest for the next year.

They have no more an idea of the release date than you or I.

true...... but say some younger gamer ( 25 here) hasnt got a job and goes on allowence alone, they have the opportunity to pre order and pay the game off before the release date. id do it but first an HDTV for me :)

edit: to all who are reporting.....yeah this is gamestop but then again how many devs have said " our game is coming out this date " and end up delaying. even cliffy b said the date for GEARS is just a month and not a set date..... god forbid they delay GEARS 2 :( but seeing as how every GOD OF WAR game has been released in MARCH its a safe bet the game would be out then.

Maybe we should all pay in full for a copy of GOW3. Here Gamestop, take my money. I'll wait a year.

No thanks. I'll buy the game but no way am I pre-ordering it for $5 a year early. Is there a special demo of the game at least?

Just about one year away. Of course I think this is all guess work but, it seems like a good guess to me.

17 - Then
what the heck is he gonna kill next?

If he kills the titans there is nobody left to kill?

I think that gow's story is just too brutal and chaotic. It's all over the place.

Yes I've played god of war 1 and god of war 2. And I will buy god of war 3.

When I went to pick up Chains of Olympus at Gamestop (take this however you want it) when the guy asked to me if I wanted to reserve God of War III I asked if it had a release date and he said March 2009.

The guy also mentioned that they might do something special for pre-orders but like many were speculating here March 09 seems like a good bet for God of War III.
