God of War 3 News

SCEA today told an eagerly waiting audience at the E3 Sony Press Conference that God of War 3 (GOW3) will be releasing on March 2010! Kratos will climb Mount Olympus on the rising expectations of thousands of fans on this day to ensure that everything comes to an end, once and for all. Fans and media had been speculating for months whether the game would be releasing in December 2009 or in March 2010, however, all speculation has been laid to rest through this confirmed news by Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) themselves. A demo was also shown.

God of War 2 had ended on an intriguing note with Kratos scaling Mount Olympus and assisting Gaia and the Titans to fight the Great War 2 with Zeus and the Gods.

Additionally SCEA CEO Jack Tretton said that 364 Playstation Platform games will be released this year. Wow! That’s a game every day!

Playstation 2 outsold next-generation consoles in April. Even though this is its 9th year in existence.  Jack has announced that 100 new PS2 titles will be coming up this year.

PSP Go, the worst kept secret during E3 2009 was officially shown and will be publicly releasing on Oct 1 2009. The price of PSP Go will be $249.99 in US and 249.99 Euros in EU.

One of the really amazing things of the conference was the display of a motion control for PS3 called EyeTool, which seems to be a good answer to Project Natal.

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!!!
