Wooow, JUST WOOOW!!! 9/10 from OPM UK???

You know these guys gave the great god of war 1 = 6/10
and even greater god of war 2 = 8/10...

DAMN a 9 from them assures an Olympus-load of 10s and maybe 11s... heeheehee. Impressive, the status of the game is already spanking! see what GameInformer journalist has to say:

Can't wait for GI review, as he said: The phrase 'OMG' has become 'OMGOW' !!!

Its... Finally... Here...

For me, GT5 got transcended, but that might only be excitement, though, this is better than CG, better than Uncharted 2 or the picture quality of Killzone2... Heh, fear and tremble competition, I may sound like a fanboy, but PLZ don't get me wrong, this game transcends fanboyism... and yeah to reiterate it, not 360 and not even high-end PCs have anything on it... HHGS was all right... this is PS4 stuff!!!

HAHAHAAA I've gone mad, THIS IS REVELATION, and get mad yourself:

Your Post is more EPIC than the trailer itself (Epic Fail that is, the trailer is awesome though). Thanks for an early morning laugh.

Told ya, didn't I? ;) you'll be talking mad after you watched this !

Insanity in itself, can you think of fighting a colossus from SotC while you and the colossus are on the body of another colossus that is constantly moving with physics shifting and camera flying into scope at an insane 30-60 fps with intact draw-distance and amazing gameplay controls??? ... heeheehee all Cell+Blu-ray here, and on top of that, some of the most impressive lighting and post-processing ever!!!

bu...bu...but RSX was the weaker GPU... ;), c'mon we've all come to know of better over the years heh!

Can't wait to look at that Aphrodite mini-sex game ;)

OK people better/smoother quality one here, make sure HD button is clicked(it already is pressed by default), and enjoy this transcendant beauty:

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/02/god-of-war-...

And I thought the cg smooth ray-casting induced deferred lighting look of Killzone2 and the scale and physics-bending tech of uncharted2 won't be passed over for some years to come...
Heh, gow3 seems to be child-playing with those techs hehehe. Even more terryfying is that its only the 3rd year of PS3, what will this studio bring out after 5 years or so ??? :)

If you guys dont see anything wrong with that then I feel sorry for you...even you Thor.

Why can't they focus on the actual combat and hit detection, you know, the one thing we are going to do in the game that matters.
I hope they focused on the combat as much as they have with the visuals, I hope so anyways.

what are we looking at in that gif? looks awesome to me. and the combat is fine, never had an issue with it the past games, didnt in the demo, wont in the final game, you seem to want every enemy to reel back from every attack, but if that happened the enemy wouldnt be a threat since all they'd be doing is reeling back from attacks.

it's gonna be awesome. there is no doubt about that.

lol you cant see it?

Look at the chain...it skips animation and the chain goes the opposite way before going the right way when he wants to swing it, thats lazy and I cant understand why they let this one pass.

And no, the combat feels weak from time to time. You dont really sense a real lethal weapon is hitting them and they dont react well to the weapons.

IMO, they dont focus on the core, which is the combat because the combat is what you are doing using most of the time than anything else. But these guys are focusing more on scale, visuals and story and art. Granted, those aspects ARE going to be good, why? because they focus on it more, but the combat is decent. I dont mind the basic combat, I like it from Darksiders, and Dantes Inferno...but the hit detection and animations doesnt feel or seem right at all.

But I need to see the latest gameplay just with combat alone to see how it is because I am worried.

Well I hope for the best, but things like that gif makes me worried.

Sorry, but Ninja Gaiden beats the shit out of God of War interms of combat, and considering in these games, you are fighting most of the time, combat is the core so not having that right then the game is meh. Visuals can be as good as they can get, samething with art and story. But when the combat isnt right then whats the point.
I was surprised how Darksiders was well made, really well made for the combat.

The reason for that is because TN said they focus on Ryu's animation and combat first and foremost, or most of the time so the combat feels perfect considering such games you are fighting alot and if its not good then whats the point of PLAYING it.

Believe me, I am trying to have faith for the hit detection and animation to be good in the combat for GOW3, but I am a bit "hmm, i dont know".

But as I said, I hope so.

and i thank god it isnt that steaming pile tbh, NG shouldnt even be mentioned in the same breath as GOW..but to each his own i guess. i know i'm going to be buying the ultimate editon, and i know i'm going to love it.

Thats why i said this aint ninja gaiden sath, they may be the same genre but i belive there totaly diffrent types of games, ninja gaiden has been made as testament to challange, GoW is more of a action romp, lead desighner said himself he never wanted the combat to get in the way of the story and adventure.
For me i cant ejoy ninja gaiden because its just "bullshit" and its like most fighting games, I have not got the time energy or commitement to learn the moves the combos etc etc (SF4) and i thank the gods GoW is not like this

Halo is the action romp answer to half life.
God of war is the action romp answer to gaiden.

as for the animation, i cant argue with that.. that is sloppy, but i would of never of noticed it if you never pointed out, you maybe to busy looking for errors? i do it myself with other games so i cant argue :)

Ninja Gaiden's combat has NOTHING to do with the challenge.
I am talking about the polishness of the combat. The hit detection, the weight of each weapon, the enemy reaction from each weapon...etc. thats what I am iffy about for GOW3, not the challenge.

Posted by ManThatYouFear

Lol, stop dying too much, jk :)

But seriously, NG is one of the games that is the most combat and most unique weapons in each game in such genre, you put GOW next to it, and guess what fans of the genre will like more...only through the combat.

Besides, if you dont learn then the combos then you will keep doing the same thing over, over and over again until it gets extremely repetitive, enough to shut the damn thing off.
The fun for the new combos are for learning them and keep seeing fresh new ways of killing your enemies, and Bayonetta, NG has that.

So basically you want the easiest combat out there so you can experience the game easily without memorizing how you do it...lol then GOW is definitely for you :P

And no, I dont find for errors, I didnt find it either until someone at Neogaf posted that and then I got worried.
I only find errors within the combat because thats the main thing the game is for me considering I am going to PLAY it.

I agree with Sath in that combat,animation,hit detection are the core of an action game.

Games like Ninja Gaiden Black,2,Bayonetta are created with those things in mind from the start,they know that is the core then comes everything else,in GoW games first is the scale,graphics then its those things,nothing wrong with it but when you do that you tend top have problems like Sath here is describing,bad animations,way off hit detection,bad weapon weight and all that.

The trailer was insane and I will buy the game but I always saw this games as I see Darksiders and not as I see Bayonetta,Ninja Gaiden,DMC they are not the same action type of game to me.

Good we can agree on something here...again :)

I am not saying GOW3 will be bad, but when you focus on one thing you tend to overshadow other things, things that is important, and in GOW, its the combat. Lets face it, GOW's platforming is bad, decent at best, so what else does it have that we can actually CONTROL,no not the QTE nonsense, yes its the combat.

But ever since E3, I am keep hoping the combat of GOW3 will be perfect because NG2, Darksiders and Bayonetta (demo only has spoiled me).

PS. Dude, you should have mentioned NG2 considering that combat system is leaps better than NG Black ;)
