Better not be a damn April fools (early I know) because this would be great, I was hoping for some co-op action but this would be brilliant too. Wonder if online would be supported.

Need better scan to translate text.

Again, April fools and I wont be happy.

graciousd5131d ago

It could be an April fools.. but more likely a real thing as it's on French PS magazine.

DeforMAKulizer5131d ago

But do april fools fake announcements include those done in a magazine?!
Thats whats making me slightly believe it... I hope!

blusoops5131d ago

Nogolis said a while back that GOW3 would b getting some sort of dlc and it would b like a gladiator arena or something of the sorts. I can never tell if that guy makes stuff up or if he really is an industry insider... Oh well this would b fantastic news if true.

deadreckoning6665131d ago (Edited 5131d ago )

WOW, thank God I saw this today! I was gunna sell GOW3 2morrow.

@ToastMan- Oh srry, I said sell but I meant trade. I already beat the game twice so I'm trading it in for a used copy of Yakuza 3 or Just Cause 2. By trading u don't technically lose any money, its just that u get a new game for the money u already spent. 2 SP experiences for the price of one =D

ToastyMcNibbles5131d ago

if true that would be amazing and i do hope theres online support as well if not its okay but i can definitely see this happening.. the beginning fight sequence with zeus shows that they can pull off something like this whether its on a 2d plane or hell even full 3d.. very excited about this

WildArmed5131d ago (Edited 5131d ago )

WOOOT

IMMORTAL KOMBAT! :D

Can't wait.

@1.7
exactly my thoughts.. you coulda just rented it -.-

ToastyMcNibbles5131d ago (Edited 5131d ago )

@deadreckoning i could understand wanting to sell certain games back that only have a single player to it but why would you buy it in the first place knowing you would sell it later?

Therealspy17765131d ago

can't wait for multiplayer battles consisting of 2 people spamming L1+Square.

blu_yu_away5131d ago

I smell an April fools photoshop.

EvilBlackCat5131d ago

is it real? or Aprils Fool?

Anyway that will be sweet!

bjornbear5131d ago

you want to sell GOWIII i can understand if it isn't your cup of tea with two cubes and a drop of milk

but some games are just keepers

GT3 for me for example, I am the biggest racing car noob, but that game is just something =) i get bored of it after a couple of hours but i always come back for some =)

GOWIII just has that *awesome* thing to it =D i mean, just keep it for sex scene alone xD jk

oh well, enjoy Just Cause 2 =) im sure who ever gets your GOWIII will make better use of it

beardpapa5131d ago (Edited 5131d ago )

I always thought the Zeus fight would've made an excellent looking fighter. The graphics in that part of the game were mind blowing. Imagine a multiplayer GoW "2D/3D" fighter like SF4 with the characters being the gods, perseus, hercules, and whoever gow 'mortal' characters I left out.

ZombieNinjaPanda5131d ago (Edited 5131d ago )

@1.7

Deadreakoning is probably just saying this to piss people off.

Edit:

Beardpapa spoilers please.

Boody-Bandit5131d ago

I have a bad feeling it's going to turn out as a lame April Fool's joke.

Maybe SM should consider a GOW fighting game. How awesome would that be to play as the cast from the GOW series in a well made fighting game?

UnSelf5131d ago

why would i want top play co-op in GOW3?

i havent come across one person on this site that has beaten it on chaos besides me

YOU TWERPS!! lol

Klipz-Wish5131d ago

I remember hiphopgamer was talking to stig about this in an interview

fusionboxer5131d ago

Like everyone else suspects it's an aprils fools joke. The first image is from the fight scene towards the end against Zeus and the second image is taken from the battle with Hercules.

The images were obviously shopped to add a long life bar and rage of the titans meter/symbol symmetrically on the image.

So don't worry people. Like Santa Monica has already stated the real DLC will be something far more exciting.

supahbad5131d ago

if its an april fools joke then thats pretty lame, but if its tru then i called a gow fighring gamemonths ago and it would be awesome

Danteh5131d ago

holy sh!t if this is true it would be awesome... maybe it's like the fight in The Challenges of Exile "Defeat Fear itself!", it was quite tricky actually to beat that Kratos :D

ABizzel15131d ago

This better not be true, I had a game idea and one of the DLC's was going to be a fighting game.

Galvanise5131d ago

One of the boss fights in particular reminded me a lot of Mortal Kombat (Scorpion VS Raiden). If they could throw in characters from GOWIII as well as past characters I'd love it.

WildArmed5131d ago

the zeus fight was 2D (some of it) so i can see this working out..
but they'll need to tweak alot of the gameplay for it.

deadreckoning6665131d ago (Edited 5131d ago )

@Bjornbear- Yeah man. To each his own I guess. I don't think its a bad game at all. IMO its the best in the series and its the most technically impressive I've game ever played. I feel GOW3 is something that should be tried by action gamer who owns a PS3, but its not something I c myself going back to.

Believe it or not, I'm getting more enjoyment from BC2 than I am from GOW3. In light of this news, I think ill just lend GOW3 to a friend for a while and take it back when this DLC comes out.

Redrum0595131d ago

look at one of the comments on that GTpage.
WHAT
THE
FU**ING
sh*T.

... well i thought it was funny...

(back on topic) could be fake, could be real, not realy interested though, big GOW3 fan but if its real, then the price will convince me if i should buy or not.

ELite_Ghost5131d ago

April fools!!!
It's def not coming with multiplayer lol

mcnablejr5131d ago

are droids so upset they are disagreeing with you?

peeps5131d ago

what i don't get about April fools is that anytime around this period ppl presume things will be an april fools, but of course in truth April fools is only on 1 day lol and in some countries ur technically only 'allowed' to play a trick on someone before noon else your the 'April fool'

it's April Fools DAY not April fools week lol

ELite_Ghost5130d ago (Edited 5130d ago )

yea i guess no one likes me XD
dont u remember the egm april fools joke a long time ago?
sonic and tails in smash melee?
well it could happen here

Somnipotent5131d ago

would be a little "kaotic" if you ask me... oh well, we'll see right?

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

Snookies12160d 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.

Monstieur160d ago (Edited 160d 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.

solideagle159d ago

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

Golfcoachh160d 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.

Crows90160d ago

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

JL2930159d ago (Edited 159d 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_Skywalker160d ago

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

TheEnigma313160d ago (Edited 160d ago )

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

Shane Kim160d ago

The newer games are better imo.

ravens52160d 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.

Snookies12160d ago

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

Crows90160d ago

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

darthv72160d 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.

ravens52160d 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_Skywalker160d ago

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

Inverno160d 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.

Crows90160d ago (Edited 160d ago )

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

Inverno160d 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.

Crows90159d 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.

Inverno159d 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.

God of War 3 Remastered Has Sold 4 Million Copies To Date

God of War 3 Remaster has sold 4 million copies since its inception, making the franchise PlayStation's most profitable gamer merch brand.

purple101322d ago

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

robtion321d 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.

SullysCigar321d ago

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

robtion321d ago

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

masterfox321d ago

I wished Ascension had the same treatment.

Heavenly King321d 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.

CrimsonWing69321d 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.

ChiefofLoliPolice321d ago

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

MIDGETonSTILTS17321d 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

robtion321d ago

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

victorMaje321d ago

One of my all time favourites.
