• God of War III is the epic conclusion to the Greek mythological trilogy which will complete Kratos' story that began in the original title for the PlayStation 2.
• True to the series' roots, the four pillars of gameplay – brutal combat, intricate puzzles, exploration of awe-inspiring worlds and a compelling story all return to make God of War III the ultimate experience.
• God of War III picks up exactly where the action of God of War II left off – Kratos must take his quest for vengeance to the very stronghold of Zeus. As the Army of Olympus surges out to meet him in battle and the chaos of the Great War is reignited, Kratos must scale the summit of Mount Olympus on the back of the mighty Titan Gaia, leading his new colossal allies in an all out assault on the Olympians.
• The menacing creatures of Greek mythology in God of War III are not only targets of Kratos' brutal destruction, but can now be manipulated against their will, as he uses them to cross chasms, inflict blind rage against enemies, reveal puzzles and secrets and as tools of complete annihilation as he makes his way on a quest fueled by hate and vengeance.
• As Kratos continues on his path of revenge, he will uncover new deadly weapons like the Cestus – powerful metal gauntlets with devastating strength, and other brutal instruments of war that will allow him to learn ruthless new techniques such as grappling with enemies and launching explosive wall to ground attacks.
• Built from the ground up, the brand new engine that powers God of War III was designed for one main purpose – to achieve a level of scale never thought possible. Kratos can now carve through armies of enemies while navigating on the back of a ‘living level’ – a massive, moving, breathing Titan as tall as the Empire State building.
• The PS3's capabilities have allowed the developers to bring the world of God of War to life like never before. Battling in detailed and unique 3D worlds lit by hundreds of dynamic lights and featuring textures with quadruple the resolution, Kratos and his enemies now feature realistic muscle striations, detailed facial expressions and heightened levels of brutality and gore.

The North American Ultimate Edition will feature the following:

• Exclusive Collectibles:
  • High-End Sculpted Replica of Pandora's Box
  • Limited-Edition God of War Art Book featuring exclusive art, content and interviews
• Exclusive Digital Content: (available via PlayStation Network voucher codes on day of launch)

  • Premium Kratos Skin – Dominus
  • God of War: Unearthing the Legend Franchise Documentary – a full-length movie documentary depicting the history of the God of War franchise
  • God of War Trilogy Soundtrack – God of War, II, and III scores from the game (PSN download)
  • God of War: Blood and Metal EP – a heavy metal homage featuring original music inspired by God of War (PSN download)

Those that pre-order God of War III at select retailers will receive a voucher code for first access to download the God of War III E3 2009 Demo, plus you will receive an exclusive downloadable skin from the following retailers: Amazon, GameCrazy and GameStop.

CVG is reporting that the next issue of UK publication PlayStation World will include an extensive preview on Sony's upcoming God of War III, including all-new screenshots as well as a firm release date.

[Nerdkiller likes BD]

Yes! Give me those screenshots. Hopefully, they'll look so good, I could eat them. (Does the Cookie Monster guzzle) OM NOM NOM NOM!

[Toxa]

Not good

It's a four page ‘feature', only two of which contain any words (the other two are taken up with Kratos' face). All the screens from what I could tell were from the E3 Trailer. From skimming through the article it's a drawn out look at the trailer, with speculation thrown in.

Cover worthy? Absolutely not. Godfather 2 was the actual magazine cover

[Malosch78]

wow ... nice Thread! Can't wait for the game.

[richieb1971]

GOW3 is just going to rock. I will probably play it 18 times through like the others hehe.

[Simplayer]

Christmas 09 release?

[silversnake]

i am being cautions but killzone 2 was pretty damn near close to the CGI target render so if it can look anywhere close to the target render , God of War 3 will look amazing. I can't wait to play this game, beyond EPIC

[Chris60119]

I still need to play 2. 1 was one of my all time top ten games. A little short though.

2 is epic. the ending is just unbelievable.

[Groo The Perverted]

BTW: anyone know if GOW 1 or 2 are out for PS3? I know they were originally ps2 but I didn't know if at least #2 was put out for PS3.

Nope. You're unlucky. Wish they were though, then we would've seen something.

Edit: oh great I'm a "special" member now. Now, I feel downgraded all of a sudden.

[Groo The Perverted]

They should make GOW 1 and 2 downloadable for the PS3 in the PSN STORE.

I prefer the original where you go through, f*ck sh*t up, and keep it moving.

I hope III goes back to what I enjoyed in the 1st one.

The bells, right?
Sacrilege, but I actually found myself quitting out on a GoW game, and I'd even stuck through finishing the first one. (Albeit with GameFAQs help.)

And while I applaud the idea to take it to PS3, I assume it's not wrong for asking what is there mythologically left for Kratos to fight, if we can assume that Zeus is dead?
(At least, now that X-Box already did its own shameless Norse-myth plagiarism...)
Even the PSP version is going to be a prequel, with nowhere else to go.

did you miss the whole plot of 2? Kratos is using the Sisters contraption to go back in time and aid the Titans in hopes that they will win the great war over the gods and the god's power will be completely wiped from history.

Yeah, he killed Zeus in II, but Zeus is still alive in the past and thats where III will most likely be taking place. GoW III is going to feature tons of gods and tons of titans.

[A-PHI-A]

Actually Zeus did not die in the end, he was beat pretty bad but not dead, that other female God stepped in and Kratos killed her. then later kratos and the titans climbe mount olympus to go after Zeus and the other gods tht were left

Well I got JUST past the one with that real big fat gorgon chick. I was past frustrated at that point, and I just was not liking it.

The graphics and whatnot were fantastic as usual, I just didn't like all those stupid Puzzle type boards.

Probably just me though because everyone else seemed to love it.

[helfdene]

GOW III is available on Amazon for pre-order.
