God of War 3 News

Fast Facts:

Believe it or not, God of War 3 is already FOUR years in the making. While most of SCEA team was giving the finishing touches to God of War 2 in March 2005, couple of developers had already started work on creating the Engine for GOW3.

Gameplay:

The game will be running at 1080 pixel High Definition resolution. And developers intend to extract every single bit of gaming prowess that is dormant under the PS3’s hood.

It has been discussed, though not confirmed if God of War 3 will have a separate multiplayer capability.

SQUARE-SQUARE-TRIANGLE is alive and kicking! Kratos’ Plume of Prometheus, the most famous combo in the Playstation world will be continued.

Kratos will have the ability to interact with the environment. In previous versions of God of War, he was able to interact only with orb chests, doors, elevator cranks. This time, Kratos can use one enemy against other, cross chasms using harpies and also use enemies to unravel puzzles.

The scale of the game will be Titanic literally. If you haven’t yet checked the third trailer of the God of War 3, do so now. Kratos fights off a centaur, then undead skeletons and finally a Cyclops in a forest. What’s new? You may think. The scariest part is while fighting the Cyclops, the earth starts shifting and Kratos grabs a Harpie’s legs and flies to safety. Then you realize that the forest within which you were fighting was Gaia’s back??!!! OMFG!!!

We have seen, and you may have heard some online stores saying that if you pre-book GOW3, you will receive it within few weeks. I believe that its a software glitch, which usually happens for unreleased products.

The price listed for God of War 3 on Amazon is $59.99. At that price it certainly isn’t the cheapest Playstation 3 game around. But considering the fan following, people will gulp and buy it online. Hell, I have even seen gaming freaks purchasing a PS3 just to play GoW3!

Are you one of them? I wouldn’t be surprised.

What is the release date for God of War 3? Kratos’ mega-epic and the contender-in-waiting for the Game of the Year 2009 for PS3 was announced in E3 2008. And fans found that in the end, there will be only Chaos.

Sony has said that it will likely be announcing the release date for God of War 3 during E3 2009 in June. Fans and media alike are speculating whether the Playstation game will be pushed further till 2010.
