Ken Feldman from Santa Monica clarified about the 8 hours long gameplay. Here is the quote:
-------
Hey Guys,
Reviews are awesome, we are humbled as developers. I think around 40% are perfect scores, unbelievable!!!
The one issue that has irked me is some reviewers are listing this as an 8hr game. This is not an 8 hr game, the fastest play tester on normal mode took 12 or 13 hours during the final play through - the fastest!
I have no idea why or what the motivation is to put out misinformation.

The Opening Levels that hooked gamers from the outset.
Cultured Vultures: Let’s delve into Kratos’ long and rampageous history and find out which games are worth the hype and which are better left buried under the weight of Kratos’s might.
Both requels over 2 and 3? Clowns. Those are two of the most boring games I've ever played.
My favorite was part 2 and I think Ragnarok is better that 2018.
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.
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.
God of War 3 Remaster has sold 4 million copies since its inception, making the franchise PlayStation's most profitable gamer merch brand.
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
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.
Thanx again US Media
cant u guys take off the fanboy goggles for one sec to give a fair review? Yes am looking at u Shane Satterfield, lol
Yes it is 8HRS long someone on youtube done the whole game. Blame the lazy developer of GOW3 who had 40GB blu-ray disk and couldn't make a 20 to 30HRS long game. It's not as if he had a DVD disc to work with so at the end the REviews were right it's not a 10/10 game.
i think someone who owned a ps3 scarred him 4 life, someone made fun of him when he was younger
you'd have to be insane to not understand that god of war 3 is atleast 16-20 hour game.
I am really looking forward to this game and I am really glad that they are calling this sort of crap out.
A nice long single player hack and slash is just what I want.
