New God of War 3 Screenshots feature a giant...

PSUni: A new set of magazine scans featuring God of War III have been released, with a number of new screenshots. One of them shows Kratos fighting a giant gorilla. You'll also find the full set of magazine scans from Hobby Consolas #221 Feb 2010.

[nskinnear]

Wow. Looks amazing.

[ipwnall]

Not even High Quality but my gosh it looks great.

[nskinnear]

Yep - March can't come soon enough :D

[FangBlade]

but still, you can see how the pics scream GOTY 2010 RAWR~!

[nskinnear]

Hopefully Sony will release a higher-quality version of these screens soon :)

[iron_sheik]

cant get better than that

[WildArmed]

lol I've been locking out all info since 28th Jan.. but all these screenies keep poping up D:

I Don'ts wantsa spoilza Godza Warza.
D:
Wellz maybeza peekaz won'tsa hurtz O_O

[cmrbe]

are doing the best they can to keep the full quality of GOW3 from the public to surprise people. Thats why we are getting crappy screens and very little information.

SM knows that GOW is an established franchise and such they do need to put out amazing assets to impress people. This is what the director of GOW3 said. They want to blow people away when the game is about to release. GOTY contender.

[Guido]

This game is going to be epic. Easily one of my most anticipated action games this year IMHO.

[PLASTICA-MAN]

so the next God Of War installment will be set in the chinese civilisation? Proof: http://www.playstationunive...
I know those are Andy Park's artworks (the man who didd all GOW artworks) but since many of those artworks were released even before GOW3 announcement, so he might be teasing us about the next GOW!

[FamilyGuy]

Where? I don't see a giant gorilla anywhere in those photos. Is it supposed to be that picture that this article uses as a sample because that *creature* is hardly "giant" and doesn't really look like a gorilla either (though the image IS of poor resolution).

It must say it's a gorilla in the text somewhere but I can't read the language. (spanish?)

I suppose some of these big, hairy, armored guys could pass for gorillas but these are concept art so they may not even be in this game.
this more than the rest

But those are still concept art, they may not even be in the final product. And not to mention the article poster wrote that the picture shows kratos fighting the gorilla and those concept arts are all solo monster pieces.

[exnihilonihilfit]

Between a Gorilla and a Golem.

[sikbeta]

GOW3 = EPIC BEAST GOTY 2010

[techie]

Quite a few more new screens in the scans.

[artsaber]

Kratos kills King Kong too? 0_q

[bnaked]

b... b... but.. only Chuck Norris can do such things ...

[Shane Kim]

Noes....only teh 360'z with it'z red death gaze.

[Coffin87]

Haha that was hilarious!

[cmrbe]

lol

[redsquad]

They hit 'disagree' but daren't show their faces.

[AliTheBrit19]

Hi :)

I'm a bot right?

Anyway, games looking great, a lot better than the E3 demo, will be picking up if I enjoy the first two.

[awesomeperson]

But Ali your not a good bot. Half the time you have a decent argument and actual facts... And you don't troll 90% of the PS3 articles. So I don't really count you as a bot :)

[taylork37]

...yet he still gets 5 disagrees for saying something good.

@ redsquad

You were saying?

[redsquad]

Bloody hell... literally!!

And seriously, 'phantom disagree smasher' whoever you are, are you THAT scared of this game that you have to deny everything about it so petulantly?

Sad sad sad...

[onanie]

I don't think they could bring themselves to come up with an intelligent response, as is usual for them.

[tudors]

is there going to be multiple paths, or exploration sections? just all looks a bit like it's on rails, the graphics are exellent though.

[alphakennybody]

do yourself a favor and play the frist 2 god of war.

[nskinnear]

The God of War games have always been pretty linear. I don't expect this one to be any different.

[Rauland]

What's with all this "this game looks too linear" bs talk lately? It's not like old games were all none linear and open world.

[Dacapn]

GOW games have always been like zelda games(dungeons) where you're given an area, but you have explore that area to unlock your linear path out of that area...if that makes sense.

[Lord_Ranos]

The delusional disagree bot fairy strikes!!!! lol

Anyway.. God of War 3 GOTY 2010!!!

[Lord_Ranos]

WHATS WITH ALL THE DISAGREES!!!!!

God of War 3 is GOTY 2010!!!!

[cmrbe]

because we don't know if TLG comes out this year. If TLG comes out it will be game over for every other game.

[Myze]

Funny thing is, the main game that beat out Shadows of the Collosus (on most sites), the year it was released, for GotY was God of War 1 (which, I know many will disagree with, but I enjoyed GoW1 more than SotC).

I have no doubt if TLG comes out this year it will be a heavy contender, but I also believe that it, like Ico and SotC, will be seen by many sites/mags/etc. as too niche to win GotY, whether it deserves it or not. That being said, I'm not willing to label TLG as GotY simply based on past games, since we know far more about GoW3 and at the moment there is every indication it may be the most epic game ever made (not saying best).

Also, after playing a good bit of Mass Effect 2, it will be hard to top, and knowing that GoW3 may do it just helps me realize how much I have faith in the game and how excited I am for its release.

[cmrbe]

The thing was SOTC and ICO in particular was vastly underapperciated. I am sure that will not be the case with TLG this time around.

[Myze]

I completely agree, they were under-appreciated. You can tell that by their sales. I hope as much as anyone that TLG is not in the same situation, but I just don't see why it would do better than the other two games (both received good reviews), unless Sony markets it like they should.

Only reason I care about sales is because if it don't sell well, TeamICO might be asked to quit making the types of games they are doing (games that some might title as "niche"), and that would be a real shame for people who can appreciate them for how good they really are.

[mushroomhead]

What gorillas we talking about here?
On one of the pictures he fight Talos(the black big statues),on the other I think the golden giants with clubs (next to the teleport) are called Brute.
Gorillas... LOL!

[Crossifixxo]

OH MY LORD!!! Why do you persecute me?? , RELEASE THE GAME ALREADY, I'm dying of anticipation, how long must I endure this wait!!!! Doesn't anyone else fell my pain???

[info]

looks like they ve ramped up d detail on the skeletons. its also says there is physics on the enemies body parts. you can see some ribs flying off on a struck skeletons.

@ tudor. GOW has always been linear for the best. its how its inspired puzzles & exploration parts are woven into it that makes it a fantastic experience. If you ve finished 1, 2 & chains of olympus you know its going to be one amazing game.

[redDevil87]

How is that a gorilla? someone needs glasses lol

Anyways the game looks fukin great! Would be nice to see better screens but i'm sure they'll pop up soon.

[alphakennybody]

http://www.playstationunive...

looks so out of place, it looks like a chinese or japanese temple or castle of somekind, maybe the next GoW will be set in feudal japan/china? They do have a violent past. And They have some of the fiercest warriors of all time.

Edit:
http://www.playstationunive...
look it's holding nun-chucks it reinforces my speculation even more

[nskinnear]

Hmm, never thought of that. That's just a piece of early concept art, but you cay be on to something ;). I think it's safe to say GOW III won't be the last GOW title. An established franchise like this will be around for a loooong time.

Feudal Japan would definitely be an interesting setting for future titles.

[artsaber]

Isn't that guy holding nunchucks from ThunderCats?!!? Panthro, is that you?

http://lifeofaladybug.typep...

or

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_B...

This game is so awesome its got fvckin Thundercats! I am even more excited about playing it now.

[SmokeyMcBear]

dude.. thats panthro... no way is that going to be in gow

[Convas]

Those Creature/Demon Concept Arts are Marvelous. Especially the ones with multiples arms sparking electricity!

[ForROME]

I think this and Mass Effect 2 are going to go head 2 head for game of the year

[xabmol]

I think there will be a lot more than 2 games worthy of the GotY award in '010.

[nskinnear]

God of War III
Mass Effect 2
Halo Reach
The Last Guardian (?)
Gran Turismo 5
Alan Wake
Heavy Rain

The list goes on and on, lol.

[xabmol]

...Zelda, Red Dead, Splinter Cell, Metroid, Agent, Halo, a few unannounced titles, etc, etc...

[agent027]

Can't be done on the Flop60.

[Xflopped-3+6=09years]

sure bet ;O

[Eamon]

After you defeat Zeus, Kratos will be fighting a giant Hideo Kojima =P

[nefertis]

I cant wait for this game to come out in march. Playb3yond

[SpartanZero]

meh

[awesomeperson]

Our first bot shows his face! Oh and what an intelligent response to lead the pack "meh".

[redsquad]

Well, if these images induce nothing but a rather clichéd & unimaginative "meh" from you then you must loathe the visuals that the 360 produces far more than you let on.

But I guess the whole "meh" attitude sums up the 'success' of the 360 perfectly.

[Meryl]

oh my looked at the first few screen shots and almost died lol, no seriously it's that good, this game is shouting buy me, goty me now!!

[steck67]

I just got a "giant" in my pants!

[PS360PCROCKS]

so you're gay?

[PS360PCROCKS]

omg this game graphically is just terrible, it's just not that great! NOT! Wheres all the haters at who says this doesn't look that good?

[jax07]

I saw a Thundercat in there. Its Panthro!!!

[tyrok3k]

I was expecting a...GIANT CRAB! Brings back memories of E3 2006.

[Nicaragua]

I missed both the orginal God of War games on the PS2 but i imported a copy of God Of War collection and have just finished it.

F**K ME! these games are pure awesome, i am a full on God Of War convert and cannot wait for the sequel.

I have to say though that Sony have seriously messed up by not releasing God Of War collection in the PAL territories. Im sure it would generate a lot of excitement for the third installment from people like me who missed the boat first time around.

[FelicityOldGamer]

This game will be sooooo EPIC!!!

I just cnat wait more! :)

Games! That´s what matters!

PS: I am sorry for some problems with my english... it´s because I am a brazilian gamer , and my english it´s a little rusty.

[Tesselation 360]

to enjoy. Make sure ur mama is ready to buy you a new controller. Just like small kids they can never wait to play with sumtin new.

Like me a real gamer i laugh when i see those characters lol here kiddi kiddi.
