This Demo can only be described with one word.
"Awesome" Can't wait for the actual release date. Midnight release baby! (if PSN gets fixed...)

They need to fix those framerate issues that occur when you're smashing a ton of guys at once, but other than that it was good. Although I have played that demoso many times I've become sick of it.

Has it changed from the demo released when you bought the GoW Collection or is it the same one still?

I think with GOW 3 Released the ps3 has a really good and valuable line up. Its one of the type of games the Ps3 needs. Its gonna be a very good game.

The demo is freaking awesome, I got mine when I bought a copy of District 9 (Blu-Ray, and it's an awesome movie). Here's an interview with God of War III's combat designer, link.

I somehow felt more impressed with the dante's inferno demo (yeah, im mentioning it cuz everyone compares GOW3 to it). Hopefully the actual game is much more fluid.

although i havent played the demo it looks good by the youtube videos.

the only reason i havent downloaded it already is beacause the size of it is something like 2.6 GB, and all you get out of it is like 10-15 mins

It is probably the best demo ever. The ending made me want to keep playing on more than any demo before. I can't wait for the 16th, its my birthday too :)

I pretty much agree. Two of my friends who don't have PS3's are practically convinced that they now need to go out and buy one, just by watching me play the demo.

From the GT video, it looks a lot better and this guy just confirmed it.

"God of War III's visuals handily set a new high watermark on the PlayStation 3, thanks to their insane level of detail, sheer scope, and impressive art direction. One key thing to note is that the game looks a lot better than the recent PlayStation Network demo. The static environments are gorgeous, and the Titans--living, moving environments in their own right--look fantastic."

For a demo that is almost a year old, i LOVED it. The graphics were top notch, and are obviously gonna be better fort he final release. After playing through it 3 times back to back to back, it has become a must buy for me :) I cant wait!

He also went on to say "The package is topped off by some jaw-dropping lighting effects, smooth animation, and a steady frame rate that we haven't seen waver--even when things onscreen are going nuts."

Personally, I wasn't worried about the framerate, but it's nice to have a confirmation that it's steady.

Stig (the bald guy) said in an older interview that the final version would be 1080p 60fps or that they would try to get that. Definitely looks 60 fps smooth. But id rather have 30 fps with even more high res textures. Plus they could just use some cheap motion blur to make 30 fps seem 60 fps. yes?

I don't necessarily say they need change it, i just mean Darksiders offer so much more. Let God of war stay a extremly linear button masher for the fans of it while some other devs try mix and make better games for us other that want something more than just button mashing.

Its not button mashing. Button mashing in God of War 3 will NOT get you far. There are a multitude of new weapons to choose from to break from "button mashing". Watch the GTTV video on Gametrailers.

i think it will score mostly 9's around but i gamespot will give it an 8.5 b/c its not going to be groundbreaking enough.

demo was quite fun though and is definitely not a game to be missed, especially if you've played the previous 2

I completed the first 2 games just button mashing...used like 2-3 attacks only. Sure you have tons of combos you can learn if you want to but not needed.
