God of War 3 coming in 2008!?

[블라스]

Oh man!
I'm pretty sure I'll have a Ps3 by 2008's holiday season
But this makes me think...isn't it too soon?
They certainly need time to make a game as epic as God of War, is one year enough?

Shazam!!

That would be fast Granted most of the pre production and tech work probably started before GoW2 was complete.

 

[블라스]

Yeah, it's weird huh?

I want to play GoW2

 

[sandwraith]

Don't you have a PS2? Its matter of what? 19.90?

 

[Havok83]

yeah that is fast, especially since we havent heard anything yet

 

[Spidey17]

I hope they put as much polish on as the first two games, other than that I don't care when it's out, as long as it beats RE5. And put in flying damn it! Hovering is for kites mother****ers, he has f***ing wings!!!

I do have a Ps2, and I do own GoW1 and 2.
What I don't have is my own apartment, not yet

 

[DorkyFresh]

woah...no way! it took them at LEAST 2 years to make the 2nd one. i hope they're not rushing it. i'd rather them take there time on making a solid game instead of rushing to get a so-so game out.

Chances are they were working on GOW3 since before GOW2 came out, so it wouldn't surprise me if it was possible to get GOW3 out by next Christmas. But on the other hand, they may be just as well off waiting till 09 since 08 is already looking pretty beefy. We'll see what turns out true.

This is what I hate about this gen of gaming. Everyone "needs" a release date, then about 2 months before, when everyone is getting hella hyped, they delay it. If GoW3 really has a release date of sometime in 2008, it will be delayed.

 

[Superhero 101]

I don't care when the hell it is coming out as long as it does come!!!!!!

 

[Concept Name]

2008=PS3

seriously they will probaly catch up to the 360 in 2 years.

 

[Spidey17]

Probably, but will have to wait til the end of January for the dust to settle. Sony really needs to get at least second in sales, this is their best chance to seriously catch up.

 

[Havok83]

Im not sure if I buy a 2008 release date. It will probably be delayed to Q1 09

 

[Zenien]

Hopefully they remember to add a decent plot this time.

What you guys don't realize is that game companies do the same thing as movie companies.

I look at GoW2/3 as like Matrix 2/3. The first one did so well, that it warrneted a sequel, so they said **** it lets make it a trilogy and put the next two out quick to capitalize off it.

 

[Spidey17]

For a rushed sequel GOW2 was the ****. And it only took such a short time cuz the engine was already finished, and a ****load of the character models and animations. I'm thinking early 09, because they'll probably harness the PS3's power better than almost everyone else. I mean, look at what they got the PS2 to do.

thats true. Plus I dont see them rushing GoW3 if its going to affect the quality of it bc these is one of their most valuable franchises. I dont think they are going to release it until they feel its near perfect.

 

[Spidey17]

Indeed. Not to insult Sant Monica, but they didn't do a whole lot besides implementing a couple new ideas(time control and chain swinging are awesome, and wings are great, but they become skeetastic when you can actually, you know... flap them maybe?), making some new character models and cinematics, some more animations, and a new story. For the most part they refined everything from the first one, which was totally fine by me, but I want some bigger ideas this time, some more risk taken. I doubt they'd put anything bad in cuz they playtest the hell out of their games, and they pretty much have the BoC down to a science, so no worries there. They should really focus on two or three other weapons. When the nonmain weapons don't even have counters you know you didn't put all your effort into balancing them out. They also had nothing to do with the grapples, which was kinda lame.
