God of War 3 News & GoW3 Reviews

Because… come March 16th… it will be just you and your PS3. Chaos will reign. SCEA announced that God of War 3 release date is set to 16th of March.

With God of War 3 (gow3) having a run-time between 12-20 hours depending on your personal expertise, you will need some time away from your real life and Get a Greek Life. Have you got a chance to pre-order the game? If not, here’s your chance to get God of War 3.

When this fansite was launched, I had used God of War 4 as a prank. Now, it seems that the joke is on me. SCEA Director of Product Development John Hight recently spoke with Gamervision about the possibilities of future God of Wars.

God of War 3 will be the end of the trilogy. I have no idea how they are going to make God of War 4, what the story will be about and what time period from Kratos’ life they will take up. I am sure that there will be mixed reactions with some fans rejoicing that they will be able to do more hacking-n-slashing… and some fans thinking that it will be too much of a good thing.

The biggest concern that I have is of the story. This is also addressed by John: “This is not the end of God of War. This is definitely the end of the trilogy, but we are going to continue to do God of War games. We are going to be careful about what we do. We are the keepers of the franchise and we don’t want to see it ruined or polluted.”

I am guessing that “God of War 4″ will be a PSP version. What do you say? Comment below.

Its not just the graphics that separate God of War 3 from the other wannabes. There’s more… you know the story, you are familiar with the gameplay… you know that there will be unexpected twists. Here’s hoping that God of War 3 is the Game of the Year 2010. An ode to Kratos is given in the poem below:

Text format:

2010… we are ten days into Twenty-Ten
2010… the biggest year in the history of Greek mythology
2010… the year that will end the tyranny of Zeus

So, my fellow Spartans… arise…
shake off the dust clung from the battle of Rhodes
wash off the blood splattered by the death of Theseus
shrug off the loss of Caliope and her mother…
the Glory of Sparta beckons you.

We have fought many battles…
Tired, weary, bloodied we are…
Pained, cramped & numbed we are…
But defeated… we aren’t…

The Great War has started once again
This time it will be decisive
The Blade of Olympus is on our side
Be it Gods or Titans
It will be their Final fight

Reach both hands behind your neck one last time…
and unsheath the awesomeness that is the Blades of Chaos
Because… it is the End…
and in the End, there will be only Chaos.

Have a safe and happy 2010.

You will remember that SCEA had done a survey of what fans would want in a God of War 3 Collector’s Edition. Most, fans opting for seeing God of War 1 & 2 on PS3. Ofcourse, we know that SCEA listened, and listened well.

Finally, John Hight has some great news for God of War fans. The Director of Product Development revealed that the God of War III E3 Demo will now be included with the God of War Collection. Remember, that SCEA didn’t want to include the Demo as it wasn’t up-to-standards yet.

They seem to have done a rethink, based on the general response of fans. You can download the Demo over the PSN, however there is a catch. It will be available only for those who purchase the God of War Collection through a voucher code.

Still, its a pretty good incentive for those who were on the fence, in deciding to buy the God of War Collection. To remind you, the Collection has both God of War games at 720p and 60fps.
