For any male aged 13 to 40, odds are you have played God of War. And with some of the highest video game sales ever, and assloads of awards, Im backed up when saying this series is one of the best in history.
So with shitloads of money being a strong possibility, and a “to be continued..” style ending to the second one with Kratos charging an army of Titans up Mount Olympus to fight the gods, you knew the third was coming. Right now its scheduled for release in fall of 2009, which in video game language means Christmas time 2010. Nonetheless, I cant wait for this damn game.
In the third game the hardcore rip your face off and use it for toilet paper bad ass, Kratos, is getting
set up for battle with the greek gods. How much more fucking epic can you get?? Insiders are saying that its going to stay true to the roots of the game with vicious combat graphics, gigantic worlds in full HD, (FULL HD GOD DAMMIT, THAT IS FUCK YOUR EYEBALLS AMAZING) elaborate puzzles to keep your brain firing and an unreal story that will round out the trilogy. The entire game engine has been rebuilt from scratch because of the depth of the graphics, they actually said just the file size of the PS3 version of Kratos wouldn’t even fit on the PS2. Sweet Christ… The god of war 3 engine will be stronger than anything any video game has ever had, with enough power to have your character fighting 40 different bad guys at once, altering weapons, destroying the environment and doing all this while moving on a moving breathing Titan, which will actually be the environment you navigate through. By the Titans “being” the environment I mean literally that. The creators are saying the Titans would be larger in size than that of the Sears Tower in Chicago, and the majority of levels will be Kratos moving on and around them. The war between Gods and Titans is the backdrop of God of War III and will constantly surround Kratos throughout the game. The director of God of war 3, Stig Asmussen has said he is setting his team out to create a game that would help define action for this generation of consoles and for the entire industry.
With this unreal graphics engine comes even more crazy ass gore. Some parts of the game that have been demo’d have included disemboweling a Cyclops. (1. To cut or slash open the abdomen of, as by bayoneting, so as to expose or remove the viscera and bowels) I’m sure many people are aware of what disemboweling is, but to actually have it in a game… it needed a dictionary definition to really extenuate that. Asmussen explained that showing the innards pouring out was something they were calling Zippertech, which would make for more realistic kills. Some of the old favorites are back like ripping the arms and wings out of the sockets of flying bad guys, only with HD graphics. BOO YAHKA!!
Only a select few critics and other reviewers have been shown a demo of the game but from what they are saying so far this could be the biggest, coolest, awesomest, craziest, game… Ever.
