I can't still believe that the thing shown was not native 1080P... So when the game comes out at native 1080P, it will literally blow away any competition. I don't know why people keep comparing this game to Uncharted 2 in terms of graphics. I mean GOW3 has an over the top 3rd person view game and Uncharted 2 has a typical 3rd person view... Just look at the game when Kratos enters closed corridors and the camera zooms in and becomes like UC2... The detailing is as impressive as UC2. It's just that you can't fight 30-40 in that zoomed mode and so the camera zooms out and the same detailing seen in zoomed is not seen... I mean it's absolutely stupid to ask for something like that.

I have seen few sites saying that GOW3 doesn't live up to the graphical hype.. I mean have they absolutely lost it. Show me any other game where you have actually cringed at seeing heads being pulled out or eye being pulled out of socket.

ONLY ON PLAYSTATION BABY.

kratos is the best looking character model ever created, end of story.

guys, also note that this is goes from menu directly into gameplay. Major strides have been made, i love santa monica so much.

Is it close? Yes. Unbelievably close, in fact. Is it better? No.

The CGI is cleaner and has a much higher polygon count. It also has better lighting. The God of War III character model is unbelievable for real-time, but it doesn't surpass God of War II's CGI.

As far as character models between Uncharted 2 and God of War III? I'm inclined to give the edge to Drake, but I'm not sure that's fair. Kratos requires much more detail than Drake. He has scars and muscle, while Drake has clothing to cover that up. Kratos also has his fleece. Uncharted 2's character models look like CGI, but they don't have to deal with the same level of detail as God of War III.

Regardless, both games look great and both should be a blast to play!

Turn 10 would probably say something like...

"Kratos in God of War 3, looks great; but you need to realize that he's only one model. We have over 400 cars in our game. If we were to model only one car, it would look like real life. Give me 400 different Kratos's then we'll talk"

Obviously those are in-game models of Kratos and he DOES look much better than his CGI counter part in part 2 but it was said a while ago that he was made with above all other characters in polygons and whatever other technobable. They said that HE was the focus blah blah blah.

The rest of the game looks great but nothing in the game will look as good as Kratos himself. I wonder if this game will even have CGI cut-scenes like the others? I like CGI cut-scenes in games but they probably won't do it here because... they don't have to.

Remember that the game is still like 10 months from release, if you think it's close to the CGI render from GOW2 then imagine what another 8-9 months of tweaking and polishing will do.

Personally I like the GOW3 shots more than the GOW2 CGI shots but if anyone is unconvinced like yourself (and there's nothing wrong with that, either way the game looks amazing even at this point) then just remember how much development time is left.

Scary stuff.

Nothing looks better than CGI (execpt real life). The processing that goes into a single frame of CGI is more than the processing that takes place for the entire GoW game.

@tplarkin7

Dude, I was thinking the same thing until I ACTUALLY READ THE ARTICLE. Then I realized they were talking about the CG from GOW2, NOT the CG from the recent Assassin's Creed footage.

Even still, though, it looks the same to me. Lighting may be a bit better now, but the model of Kratos is fairly similar.

Killzone 2 set the bar for Graphics in a console FPS, GOW III will set the stantard for all cosole games handsdown, even before these pics, when G4TV was airing the footage of the demo, I was in complete awe of the level of detail displayed in the game. So as well as the top notch graphics you can also expect top notch gameplay

Something really great is happening here. Long gone are the times when people compared PS3 exclusive to 360 exclusives.... Just look at all the posts here. Gamers comparing PS3 games with each other. Just shows how much things have changed. We have come a long way since 2007.

Dear Lord Baby Jesus!. Eh I only see PS3 exclusives only in competition with itself and high-end PC in regards with the graphics. Just like the leap of 1st generation to 8th generation PS2 graphics, you will see it in the PS3 as well. Cell+RSX is a new concept in regards to rendering graphics, unlike PC where its separate. Developers are learning that the Cell+RSX should be treated as one.

Edit: P.S S.M please let this be DTS 7.1 surround! Alot of PS3 1st and 2nd party are in the DTS 7.1 codex, just total immersion is 2nd to none.

And Sony seems to be producing them like factory: NON STOP.

Xbots are right to fear the PS3. What they say again? "Waitstation", "delaystation".

ROFL Even back in 2007, it was obvious that Sony's high hitters will bring them to shame eventually. Today its not even 2009 end, and we are already ENGULFED in the high amounts of Triple A titles on the PS3.

Ironically, its the xbots that are "waiting until GDC, until E3 and until TGS"

Even after E3, there is simply nothing to play on the shiatbox until year end. So just like last year, they waited a whole year for just one game.

Wow, talk about pathetic. That my friends, is exactly the GAMECUBE EXPERIENCE.

One high caliber game in one year time.

The games on the shiat60 are fking UNDERWHELMING. And no matter what the bots say, their games line up SUCK. Hell, you cannot even call it a game line up. Its that pathetic. They can whine about Alan "king of disappointment" Wake all day long. But they are absolutely RETARDED if they think Alan wake is going to move systems.

PS3 however is doing just THAT. With each high caliber game, the PS3 sells a little bit more. And even die hard xbots will eventually see just how many MUST OWN titles the PS3 possesses.

bots are pathetic creatures. Green with envy they are.
