I'm watching the VGA awards on Spike now, and they showed a clip of God of War 3, which was quite short. I hope they show more of it, but with how Jaffe talked about the game, saying that its graphics blow everything we've seen so far out of the water...I wasn't too impressed. No doubt, the game looks great, but at the same time, it doesn't really look THAT much better than what we have right now, with Gears of War, MGS4, Killzone 2, etc. Anyone else see the short video and think the same?

Didn't Jaffe say that the build used for the trailer was inferior to the one he saw?

I liked it.. The direction seems to be epic in this one. I liked the begining with the lightining and Kratos breathing. Some people didn't like it I suppose, O owell, I enjoyed it

It's ok don't panic. Things can always change, that could have been just a bad clip (some games have really bad looking spots at certain points.)

I'm not trying to make anyone mad, but the game didn't look much different from God of War 2 to me. I love the franchise and will be buying GOWIII day one but it is not the graphical powerhouse it was penned as.

It looks on par. Why would you ask? The actual gameplay footage of FFXIII is nothing special either...

Figured GoW 3 would have a similar style to FFXIII so it would make it easier to compare. By the way I think FFXIII look great, top notch.

Downgrade? You can have a game that looks way better than GOW2 and it still won't compete with Gears, Killzone2 and the rest of the games this gen. They are working on new hardware so there is no garuntee just bc their last games were great but there is time.

I generally trust David and he won't go bat sh it crazy over nothing. I want to see what he saw because this trailer was well mediocre at best.

Definitely should not have had hyped graphics. they were only marginally better than Heavenly Sword, but with half the facial emotion.

I think you guys will think differently when you see the direct feed. I was dissapointed to not see any good gameplay action... but the gfx look good compared to everything else they've shown tonight. I'm not hyping it as best gfx ever or anything like that, but they looked pretty solid... particularly IF that was gameplay.... On a sidenote, I think I'm also impressed with the graphical style of Maffia II.

Yea, that's the same thing I was asking people.... the game looked better than most of the games shown. Especially considering we aren't seeing a direct feed. I'm not worried though, the game will speak for itself over the coming months.... I can't wait. Uncharted 2 looked freakin great too.
