God of War 3 looking very close to CG teaser in terms of graphics

In the latest HotSpot podcast -from GameSpot- , numerous sources reported that "the level of realism as far as the graphics go in God of War 3" looks very close to the CG teaser. They actually said it is looking like Beowulf the movie. The discussion lasts 59 minutes.

There shall be only CHAOS when this game launches.

StayHigh5775d ago

will be one of the best lookin action game for the PS3 when it releases!!

mesh15775d ago

gamespot are in a bad spot atm this is just an attempt to gain hits throw the internet from the people that control this site and TRY to infiltrate other sites ahah you must be slipping past the delusional state to believe this 1 guys.

sonarus5775d ago

I do not care about graphics. All i care about for this game is the gameplay and the story. With jaffe and barlog gone i am simply terrified at the direction this game will go. I also hope they make a true next gen leap and not just lame like DMC4. They have to do stuff other action games aren't doing. They have to put DMC4 and Ninja Gaiden to shame.

GOW is one of my favorite games so i hope it is a win all round
Story gameplay and dare i say it give me some online features and really push the franchise as hard as you can for 3.

zypher5775d ago

well, from what i've heard both Barlog and Jaffe (Jaffe for certain) have expressed genuine interest in being involved with GoW3. given how closely the two are associated to the GoW series, as well as the series importance to the PS3, i'm sure Sony will let the vets back on the project in some meaningful fashion. i remain highly optimistic about GoW3

sonarus5775d ago

I disagree. Especially not barlog. Maybe jaffe but his creative control will be ridiculously limited

Chris Bosh5775d ago

O MY GOD.
AND I ACTUALLY BELEIVE THIS TOO!!!!!!!!!
GOOD JOB SANA MONICA!!!!!!!!!

Panthers5775d ago

I remember them saying that when they left, the story was already completed. So all we have to worry about is gameplay.

dude_uk5775d ago

Yea... i remember that...
it was just after they split and because independent from Sony

DarK-SilV5775d ago

Guys Where did barlog and jaffe leave to? Are they working on another project?

zypher5775d ago (Edited 5775d ago )

jaffe left and started his own independent company called Eat, Sleep and Play. think of them as a second-party studio, sorta like Insomniac; they aren't owned by Sony, but they're pretty much exclusive to them. as for barlog, i honestly don't know where he went or what he's doing.

zypher5775d ago

maybe, maybe not. who's to say? still, i think i'm gonna remain optimistic until i have a reason doubt. plus (and i could be wrong), but didn't barlog lay out a lot of the ground-work for GoW3 before he left Sony?

dude_uk5775d ago

hahahaha

I LOLed with your comment

CrazzyMan5775d ago

And after seeing CG-like graphics in KZ2, Anime-Like graphics in Naruto:Storm, CG-Like graphics of Ratchet, almost Photorealistic graphics in GT5P people should stop doubt in power of PS3. =)

thePatriot5775d ago

I thought we were looking at a ingame futage. that tree looked like in game in the way it looked and moved. I will get a stroke if the entire teaser was ingame fotage

jtucker785775d ago

There was an interview on N4G about Barlog and Jaffe leaving...

....BUT in that interview they were saying how practically the entire dev team are still there working on GOW.

I wouldn't worry too much, we know the tech and graphic side will be fine, and if jaffe has put down the story already then we have quite a few bases covered.

Let's see how some of the early play tests go before we condemn the game.

gaffyh5775d ago

WOOT! I though that CG teaser was a target render (and they hadn't started the main games development yet), but it seems like the have made the game if these guys are discussing it.

Now I cannot wait for God of War 3.

Overr8ed5768d ago

if it is then GOW is going to be epic.

In the end, there will only be chaos

Pr3-M3d_G4M3R5775d ago

Yes like at the end of playing GoW2, there was chaos in my room due to my ANGER AT THE SUSPENSEFUL ENDING WHICH ENDED ABRUPTLY...leaving me in despair and a state of tease!!! I've been waiting for years now for GoW3..ah boo hoo!!!

m-s-8-25774d ago

Youve been waiting like 16 months.

poos35775d ago

i think this is ken kutoragi second account or 1 of the other not to sure becuse iv hears that quote before let me think ahh when resistance debut gameplay was announced(looks crap)also when mgs4 was going to end the war we all heard that ken and let not forget when final fantasy 13 was announced as a ps3 exclusive we all heard "it begins" "the end begins" it gets announced foe the 360 they cry who would have guessed ff13 coming to 360 . i can bet god of war a 2009 game ? maybe 2010 wont match multiplats not alone exclusive being released in the same period

Veryangryxbot5775d ago

Questioning God of Wars visuals is akin to being STUPIDITY itself.

1) yes, the trailer was awesomely looking but its not exactly unattainable. KZ2 already proved that Sony can achieve those graphics. Not just KZ2. But Gran Turismo, Uncharted, MGS4 all looks that good.

And people still question Sony and GOW3? Ha!

2) God of war series always known for its INCREDIBLE graphics. And people still doubt it? My god, if thats not called stupidity than what is? Hahaha

Real gamer 4 life5775d ago

You know what? I will not doubt sony this time. They proved it with killzone, they will do the same with god of war.

dude_uk5775d ago

haha yea...
after killzone 2 its a bit hard to doubt them

Kami5775d ago

i believe them. you know why?? because GOW2 looked better or in the level of the first 360 games(not bashing)
and weren't they the ones giving guerrilla tips?

AlienGorilla5775d ago (Edited 5775d ago )

Are you serious?
Maybe if you're playing on a 13 inch TV.

That's probably the stupidest thing i have ever heard anyone say, ever.

Statix5775d ago

So does this confirm that GOW3 gameplay was shown behind the scenes at E3?

YogiBear5775d ago

God of War is their baby. There is no way this is getting messed up.

Overr8ed5768d ago

i wonder how much of the PS3 power GOW is going to use?

JL2930185d ago

Both requels over 2 and 3? Clowns. Those are two of the most boring games I've ever played.

Snookies12185d ago

GoW 3 was amazing, but I personally hated just one thing. (This is on me alone, because I was dumb, lol.) I hated that you couldn't skip cutscenes on repeat playthroughs. I had to go back through the game a third time because I missed one trophy accidentally on my way to the platinum... The cutscenes were great the first go round, even the second... But the third was pretty agonizing.

Haven't played Ragnarok, but I still think GoW 4 is a wonderful game in its own right. Not sure how I would stack them up against each other honestly.

Monstieur185d ago (Edited 185d ago )

I don't consider the reboot part of the original series. The original series were high-skill games with combos and rewards for mixing things up.

solideagle184d ago

lol square, square and triangle is the only combo you needed. I have played all of them on the hardest difficulties...

Golfcoachh185d ago

Maybe I’m just old school but I just couldn’t get into the last two. Maybe it’s the slower action and more story telling but the original trilogy was by far my favorite.

Crows90185d ago

It's not that youre old school. They're different genres

JL2930184d ago (Edited 184d ago )

Me either, at all. It's just yap yap yap. They try to be a RPG's instead of being action games like they used to be.

Fluke_Skywalker184d ago

I'd put the two psp games over 3 in terms of story any day. But not over 2.

TheEnigma313185d ago (Edited 185d ago )

My favorite was part 2 and I think Ragnarok is better that 2018.

Shane Kim185d ago

The newer games are better imo.

ravens52185d ago

There is no worst. Except for Ascension, only cause I didn't play it lol. They are all masterpieces. 1,2,3, 2018 and Ragnarok. 1 of, if not the greatest video game franchise...besides MetalGear.

Snookies12185d ago

Oh wow, I actually forgot that Ascension even existed... I never played it either.

Crows90185d ago

I like ascension. It was different and some interesting combat additions.

darthv72185d ago

If you didnt play it, how could you call it the worst? Its not as bad as the media portrayed it. Honestly the worst are those flash games. they arent even considered true GoW games but in name only. At least Ascension is a real GoW game.

ravens52184d ago

Not saying it's a terrible game. Just mean it's at the bottom of my list. I played a little bit of it. Jus to me, compared to the other main games, it's last.

Fluke_Skywalker184d ago

Ascension is the only GOW game I never finished. Hated it.

Inverno185d ago

Can't agree, older games do so much more than the last two. More weapons, magic abilities, enemies are more varied, level design is also more aesthetically pleasing, and agree with those who say that they shouldn't have removed jumping. Was a time I'd agree, but those old games are so so much better, that they really should've looked into bringing into the reboot/sequels.

Crows90185d ago (Edited 185d ago )

If a game is good then a game is good. Doesn't matter what came before or what comes after.

Inverno185d ago

Of course it matters. If not for what what came before there wouldn't be an after. And if something is great before then you strive to make it just as good if not better, after. I personally don't think there's a fair way to judge the new with the old because the newer games are still essentially a reboot, and went a way different direction. But I still believe the old games did it better. I'm probably bias though since I've been going back to old games and have been finding that they lack all the annoying aspects that devs have shoehorned into new games to fluff out game time.

Crows90184d ago

@Inverno

Im not talking about the passage of time here. Im talking about individual pieces of software. If a game is good then it is good. Thats not a controversial statement. You can compare good with good...sure. But you still end up with good. Now if there is a bad game in the mix and you compare you do end up with some differentials between them...makes sense to compare and see where it went wrong.

But theyre different genres and styles which were individually executed very well.

And no. The new games are not a reboot. Theyre a new direction but simply a continuation.
Tomb raider was a reboot.

Inverno184d ago

The new games are definitely a reboot, and a continuation, it can be both which it is. And a good game might be good, but my point is that if there are things done better before it then there's plenty of room for critiquing and trying to make whatever comes after better rather than just good.

Haha I still remember my brother playing the opening scene on ps3!!!

Yeh he had to put the controller down his heart was beating too fast trying to get past first 10 minutes. He said "it's too much". Best thing I've ever seen in gaming. Haha

robtion346d ago

A great game from an era before things went politically correct and gaming turned serious/'mature'.

It certainly wasn't concerned about upsetting or offending anyone and was more fun because of it.

The boss battles and set pieces still top most games released today.

SullysCigar346d ago

This game was absurdly good for it's time. The very definition of 'epic'.

robtion346d ago

Yes. The graphics were just ridiculous compared to most other games on the market at the time.

masterfox346d ago

I wished Ascension had the same treatment.

Heavenly King346d ago

Ascension SP had some things better than GOW3, and also some things worst than GOW3. But in general it was a really good game, for me it also deserves a REMASTER. The problem per se with the game is that most people were satisfied on how GOWIII ended, so Kratos got his revenge, so in order to rise the interest in the game how have to make it MORE EPIC is that the game did not had the epicness of fighting huge bosses (I guess due to technical difficulties,the game had actually a lot more colors (because the world is not dying like in GOWIII) so it is graphically more demanding that is my guess), but it compensated with having in general a more complex combat system, and an amazing soundtrack. but in general the game needed to be more epic than GOWIII somehow, and that did not happened, after GOWIII people had expectations through the roof. They should have waited and release it for PS4 so the vision of the game is not compromised.

My list of good and bad compared to GOWIII

GOOD: THE COMBAT
The combat was more elaborated, which allows you to be more immersed in the fights. Also every enemy was more resistant, even those that you could usually kill in 2-3 attacks in previous games. THE LAST BOSS is so damn epic!!!, but there is only one moment like this in the whole game.

GOOD: LESS QTEs
I love the fact that "cicle" in the new enemies (killing animations) are not QTEs, in Ascension they are mini-games on their own, depending on the enemy, making it more engaging. You had to dodge and hit when the window was open in order to eventually do the killing blow.

GOOD: The Soundtrack
it has the orginal trilogy musics, but with a new perspective since the game had a new composer. The ST was amazing also the new music written specifically for this game were badass

GOOD: The puzzles actually require you to think.

BAD: There are bad camera angles during the game, like zooming way too out of vista, and then swarming you with "light units" that like I said before had better AI and did not die of 2 attacks. those parts a few, but are a mess.

BAD: EMPTY ARENAS
Other thing that really annoyed me is that when you fight a sub-boss/heavy unit in a big arena; that ARENA WAS EMPTY, it was just you and against the medusa, or against the manticore. They should have zoom in into the action to avoid noticing the void scenario. I guess emptiness was because of the game having a lot more colors (because the world is not dying like in GOWIII) so it is graphically more demanding. My guess is that it was not possible technically, since in most of those cases you had huge vistas or intricate scenarios that needed to be rendered. The fact that the cerberus is smaller in this game disappointed me.

BAD: Only one BADASS EPIC moment, the others moments of the game were great but, they needed to set the bar even higher than GOWIII and they failed miserably.

BAD: The graphics did not improved much. I was GOWIII with more colors, and that's it.

So 4 good things against 4 bad ones. The problem is those 2 last BAD aspects are actually why the game was received so poorly. Everyone expects the next game to have a really BIG improvement in all aspects in contrast to the previous one, and that was not the case in ascension. And also GOW is the definition of EPIC, and that was not there neither. The jump on every aspect from GOWI to GOWII was huge being on the same console, and the jump from GOWII to GOWIII was humongous (obviously because a more powerful console). While the jump from GOWIII to Ascension is too little, and people expected more.

On it's own is a good game; but is not sufficient when GOWIII was released before it.

CrimsonWing69346d ago

I know this is unpopular opinion, but I prefer these over the new ones. I’m not saying the new ones are bad or anything, but they sort of get boring to me, whereas the older games were like non-stop roller coaster rides.

ChiefofLoliPolice346d ago

I love the new ones but I understand what you mean. The older ones had more action and was more arcady like.

MIDGETonSTILTS17346d ago

Ragnarok was not BIG at all… GoW1 had larger set pieces, and it was on ps2.

GoW 2018 had big moments in its own way…. Ragnarok abandoned these aspects though

robtion346d ago

I agree. It was just less serious and more fun.

victorMaje346d ago

One of my all time favourites.
