Wow that was a big jump from VGA to E3. Well they have over 8 months, and I for one think they can do it, seeing how it's already on par with many of the best looking games all console right now.

But hiphop I'm going to have to smash you. Killzone 2 was not the only game to look like CG. Ratchet and Clank: FTOD I was the first at least to me.

Even with games like these the Ps3 gets soo much hate,
and the 360 gets praised even when it has technical defects (and yes 360 fanboys it still is defected forget about the e74 virus?).

But I won't be buying this game. I'm so over hackand slash buttonmashers, they just get overly repetitive. Pushing button combinations over and over and over again loses its fun too quickly.

The other God of War games, DMC4 and Heavenly Sword are recent examples of games that are just too repetitive and involve too little interactivity to keep me interested.

@abizzel...you're so right..I downloaded all three trailers on my ps3(VGA,SCALE,E3) and even thought all three are suppossedly the same, you can see the differences majorly, escpecially when you pause at the close up to Kratos's face, great work Sony Santa Monica
@ mal_tez: well..thats your opinion and I respect that, but I just want to say the director of GOW III Stig Assmussen said that there are two ways to play throught the game( this comment applies to all the GOW's) you can go through it with a couple of combos, like square square triangle, or you can create combos through out, I used to love creating combos escpecially against the Minotaurs...dude you hit them a couple of times then swing up the air grab them in the air and slam them, they would bounce back up then you would swing them onto the floor and right before hitting the floor you would press square and Kratos would swing his other blade to keep the minotaur in the air, you could also hit him before he hits the ground and make fly off the cliff(if you were on one)
man.....oh...sorry about that, gd times, might actually replay it for like the fourth time

I own all 3 "next gen" consoles and I can honestly say that the PS3 is the only game system I play now. I have no bias towards any company and as a HUGE fan of the original XBOX I was hoping MS would have created the 360 with more storage and power.

Regardless, back on topic. I CANT WAIT for GOW3!!! I am in the UC2 beta and the CO OP gameplay is AMAZING! You know a game is good when you play the same mission close to 100 times!!!!!! This is unheard of. The graphics, gameplay and immersion in the environment with the other 2 players has never been presented in this way before. I love it!
KUDOS TO SONY!! THE GAMES ONLY GET BETTER FROM HERE ON!!!

I love Hiphopgamer's enthusiasm for the gaming industry as a whole but jeez, tone down the hype on the titles of the articles. Peter Molyneux would be proud.

For example:
"Bethesda Software Brings Killzone 2 Quality For Xbox360 With Brink."

It may have great graphics but Killzone 2 is at a very high bar in terms of visuals. Hell, I'd be surprised if Brink surpasses Gears of War 2. I don't doubt God of War III is going to have eye exploding awesome graphics but rival CG? It cannot rival CG without AA, locked FPS, and high IQ. Even Killzone 2 cannot rival it's infamous CG trailer. It can look close but NOTHING will ever rival CG this generation.

Im sure that The team is sharing info with Polyphony digital and Insomniac ,Naughty Dog , will bring to the table more Cell RSX BLiss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1080p is an amazing feat!! Anyone with a 1080p 50 inch screen knows this!!!!

If you've witnessed anything like the Darknight's, imax scenes in 1080p or GT5 in 1080p you will understand!!!!!!!

NOTHING COMES CLOSE TO THE STIRRING VISUAL IMPACT OF 1080P.

DROOOOLS!

What does locked FPS have to do with CG quality graphics? By your analogy, since GoW3 runs at between 30 and 60 fps i guess that means it already surpass the CG trailer which i persume run at atbout 30fps.

Also as far as im concerned to rival something doesnt mean that you are better or as good as something else. It means that you are close. Also while you could say KZ2 didnt look quite as good as the CG trailer, it was still better then the CG renders in some areas while not quite as good in others. Overall i think you could say it pretty much met the target render.

Comparing pixels in multiplatform games. It only makes sense that if folks are going to bash consoles for sharing inferior ports then there should be news explaining how awesome and eye melting the exclusives are going to be.

It's not like they say they can do Transformers CG. It's pretty obvious that you are jealous no games from the other consoles are compared to any CG at all let alone PC games. Mind you, Crysis is still impressive.

Just like everyone here but to say that GOW3 isnt graphically impressive would mean one of three things 1.) You are an extremely jaded gamer 2.) You need ur eyes checked or 3.) You're in denial.

The marine in the StarCraft II cinematic trailer is one of the most complex rendered characters in history.

I think he's got something in the neighborhood of 5,000,000 polygons, and that rendering one frame took a whole farm of computers HOURS to accomplish, because of the insane textures, reflections, effects and lighting. In fact, it was such a massive load that Blizzard's own renderer BROKE and refused to render the scene. They had to do separate rendering passes in the end LOL.

http://eu.starcraft2.com/fe...

The only thing that comes close to this is Gran Turismo 5 on the PlayStation 3, which can render up to 16 car models on track with each car having approximately 200,000 polygons.

Running at 1080p and fairly steady framerate of 60fps, this brings the total to approximately 3.2 million polygons, notwithstanding the character models on the sides of the track, the environment and the skybox.

I'd say a fair estimate of a fully-loaded environment in GT5 to be approaching about 3.5 million polygons. Let's not forget about 128-bit precision HDR lighting, independent A.I. and physics per car, and animations for spectators, water, textures on and in the cars and on everything you see,

So for the PlayStation 3 to come past the 50% point of that amazing pre-rendered StarCraft marine and in REAL-TIME no less...is absolutely stunning, shocking and awe-inspiring and it further shows that the PS3 is indeed a technical innovation and inspiration, and that when put in the hands of a talented developer and when running a proprietary engine built for the machine specifically..you'll see results that are nothing short of amazing.

And a side note...I'd love to see an animated film with Ratchet, clank and quark made using the R&CF: TOD engine. The animations and graphics are so nice, I know I'd watch it for sure.
