Maybe because the demo is the E3 09 build. Educate yourself and watch the GTTV episode.

Apparently it looks better now because that was an old build...I didn't find the demo to be impressive at all but some recent gameplay videos look much better.

The demo didn't wow me either. But the gameplay videos sure did. The demo an old build.

The demo is from before last year's E3... not exactly up to date. Regardless, the game's scale is insane. You'll be fighting a boss the size of the Sears Tower at some point in the game.

I've watched lots of videos. Still nothing. Looks about the same as the demo. Stop binging that 'it's in beta' BS because that almost all the time turns out to be what the final product looks like.

This demo is dated. Look here GTTV God of War 3 special. Looks 100 times better then the demo. Be sure to watch it in HD. :)

If you still don't think it looks better then I advice you to get your eyes check.

Hah, why would the supply an old build for a demo that is meant to draw gamers in to purchase the product? Also, do you really think they would just overhaul the graphics in a eyars time and then release a demo of the old engine build?? If anything they've polished off certain scenes, but upgrading the graphics after the games made, very unlikely.

Like an earlier poster said, don't take our word for it. Go watch the latest GTTV episode and see for yourself.

Remember the demo was first made available months before to people who pre-ordered and what not? What would be the point of giving pre-order customers an early demo if they are going to release a much better demo later on? And beside, I'm sure they have a lot more important things to do than release a new demo, when the old one is just fine. Say what you will, but apparently everyone who has actually played the final game says its the next leap in console graphics so it would seem that the graphics have indeed improved. So I'm willing to go with first hand reports rather than assumptions that no improvements were made.

The demo build is from June 2009, it looks much different now as pointed out by earlier posts. Go watch the GTTV episode featuring the God of War 3 special.

I think the graphics are very good, but I agree they aren't super amazing. With those polished up looks however, God Of War III overall looks to be amazing. I got my copy preordered with release day delivery, at this point I'm foaming at the mouth a little.

The demo got me thinking tho, since in the end Kratos aparantly attacks the titan scaling the temple, so what, now he is trying to wipe out both the gods and the titans?

Ok to the people calling BS on the improvements (and who obviosuly haven't watched the GTTV video) lets take a quick look at Kratos:

Footage from around the E3 time (Same as demo graphics):

Footage from GTTV Video (New footage):

And for people claiming this game isn't impressive I say "What you talking about Willis!?"

Sorry for the blurriness, but these are still captured from the GTTV video and are in motion, so I can't do anything about the blur. Anyways, the sheer scale of this game is impressive and even more so is how amazing the textures look for both the large things (Titans) and the small things (Kratos, Hades) despite the large difference in scale. This game is VERY ambitious and pulling it off. I can understand if you don't think it's the next graphics king, but to claim that you don't see what the "Fuss is about" means you either gotta get your eyes checked or take off the green tinted MS goggles.

uh, what are you talkign about exactly? Did i somewhere say the game doesn't look good?? Maybe you read that between the text lines on the monitor or made that assumption incorrectly. What I said was its unlikely for a graphics overhaul from demo to retail. PLS read before posting responses.

Considering the clearly visible difference, and assurance from multiple game reviewers and people who own the game and the dev studio themselves that the game has improved from the demo and is quite possibly the most visually impressive game on consoles...I think the smarter thing would be to take the newer videos over the old and out of date demo. And I even recall when the demo was released the devs saying that the demo was old code and they had improved it...this was in back in June 2009...so if they claimed the demo was older code back then, imagine now.

I was impressed by the demo. It came out one year ahead of time and looked that good (while also being playable.)

People were coming on saying "I wasn't impressed by the demo", and I'm thinking wtf? This is a beta build and it looks decent.

I do believe the graphical part of all this is getting too much emphasis placed upon it, it's one of the better looking console games, but it's by no means spectacular.

there were rumors that gow3 was finished from beginning to end (alpha) last year around spring

the guy you quoted probably thinks santa monica finished gow3 around that time and just left it there to sit over the next 9 months

yes, and the same you see in cgi in Gow2

i was refering to his looks,

i checked it out on youtube

and in GoW1 he dosent have the mask on

and apperently there is a statue of him in the underworld which i dont remember, might be the big one with the lava puzzle.

but he dose look the same as he did in GoW2
