Jaffe said on his blog that what he saw that looked like a painting was not the footage they were going to show at the VGA's - no one knows how old this video is either, I have a feelings it an extremely early build that no where near represents the final product. Don't judge the game on this, as it was only like 7 seconds of actual footage anyways lol

It started on PS2 until they realized the end days were coming so decided to step up. Graphics won't get much better, if at all, so here's a prime example of gameplay > graphics. Heck, even the sounds topples the graphics! I don't know who this Jaffe character is or why people were praising his opinions so much, but the same exact thing is going to happen to hyped up products here on out. Only the small and unnoticed titles will prevail, while hype will continue to elude people into thinking GoW III has "some of the best looking cutscenes/ animations/ etc etc"

was it just me, or did it seem like some oft he footage was from the ps2 gow of wars. n e how. what spence1988 said is right. jaffe said that what he has seen is literally amazing in terms of graphics and such, and that what he saw, WAS NOT going to b shown at the VGA's. but off topic, them lion gloves looked freaken sweet, cant wait to beat down a cyclops with those babies.

Everyone was saying the graphics would redefine this generation of games, that's far from the case... The game play will most likely still be epic though.

Spencer, why shouldn't we judge this game based on the trailer that they've shown us, i see where your coming from, but this was the developers chance to show and eager audience their product, and unfortunately i think the expectations for this game (graphically) were really high, as they should be. From this trailer, it looks just like the ps2 game, only very slightly better. I myself had high hopes, that this game would be very easy on the eyes and if this is just an early build, then it should not have been shown, i have a hard time believing the devs would be thinking, hey we should just show them a crappy version. When a demo is shown to the public, its the best one they have. after-all the whole reason they show it is to impress their audience, isn't it? Either way, **** graphics or not, i love the gow series, so im betting this game will kick ass anyway.

You should know the final game will not look like this. It was just a short trailer meant to tease you.

Remember all the previews of Uncharted 1 and MGS 4? How everyone said the graphics were not much to talk about? Boom the final game hits and people are impressed with how the graphics looked right?

Another example is Killzone 2. Look how many changes it has been through.

So I say wait for magazines to talk about the game and show in-game shots and wait for internet sites to discuss it even more as well as show better progression of gameplay videos.

It's still at least another year until the game comes out. And I think you can download the trailer from the Store and it's supposed to look a lot better.

Im not really sure what your talking about, Kill Zone 2 from the getko looked amazing, and people have been saying from the beginning that it was to good to be true. And MGS4 looked great from the beginning as well.

The problem with this trailer is it looks like its been compiled on the same engine they used last time, that brief explosion looked just like the ones on the ps2, just a bunch of huge blocks. I just expected alot more from this team, they made gow 1 and 2 look absolutely amazing with the hardware they were using on the ps2. That's why everyone is expecting this game to look alot better than it is. The good news is i didn't know there was a year left, so i guess that's quite alot of time to make some big changes graphically, hopefully im wrong, and this is an hold version of the game. Still not sure why they would show us crap though.. meh.

The trailer wasn't mindblowing, but that's all it was..............a trailer. If that is how GOW3 looks at this point I'm sure it won't be out until the end of 09 or even possibly later :(. Sony knows this is a huge title and I'm sure they're not going to rush this game. Every solid exclusive is just another reason to add to the list of getting a PS3.

If this footage wasn't going to be as impressive as the footage that was shown to other people--why show it??? I don't get it. Why show subpar footage when better footage currently exists?

Wow you seem to know everything about GoW III eh? How'd you play it this early? I can't seem to find it at my local Wal-Mart or EB games. Do you even know what you're saying? There's so many fails in this post I'm just going to :lol:

As for everyone else this is probably an early build and it was like a 10 second thing don't complain. Jaffe said what he saw wasn't going to be shown at the VGA's and people will be disappointed with it. Which you are so I'm sure the games improved.

Anyone remember those KZ2 pics that got leaked before they showed it at E3? Everyone was going on about how the pic looked like crap and the graphics sucked and people were speculating that it's a poster that will pan out at the beginning of the trailer and everyone was wrong it was in-game! But did the graphics look crap? No it was an early build and they were panned into the bad textures, now look at the game a year later it looks phenominal so reserve judgement until the Game is close to release im sure this is an old build. STOP WHINING! I feel sad about PS3 owners sometimes always assume things.

You didn't see Sarcasm inbetween the lines. Fail :) So I did my homework and found out David Jaffe is a film director flop who turned to video games and is divorced with 2 kids. So tell me again, why do people care so much about his opinion? Because the last game he worked on was for PS2?? I swear some people make him out as PS3's savior. I don't understand... but I do understand God of War's gameplay will surpass it's graphics. How do I know? Just think of Prince of Persia and Valkryia Chronicles. What does this all mean? No matter how much better (if any) the screens become, God of War will be a great game. The end.

I don't think thats gameplay, that might be there engine (*cough* from the ps2 *cough*) but that was one of their cinematic things they do. If it is actual gameplay i'll be pleasantly surprised.
