i don't know why no such thread is up yet.

anyway, here we discuss what we saw/played form the demo.

personally,  i'm glad they allwoed us to disable those pesky tutorial messages, and let us leap upwards on ladders.

[QUOTE="blackdiamond50"]why?curlfro

I would rather wait for the real game than the democoolgamer6

Not I..I'll be surprised if their isn't some sort of drawback later on though.

~I'll have more to say (that I haven't already said) here after I get my copy of the demo

think well be seeing underwater fighting?etrnalconundrum

Quite frankly..no...but here's to hoping..

If they could give us Typhon's Bane in the air..I don't see why it at least could be used underwater for interesting effects...even puzzles.  However..I'd have to guess that X ascends, [  ] descends and R1 performs the swim dash.. unless they changed this setup (which you would think would have been reported by at least one person who played the demo) I don't see underwater combat in the truest sense..in our near future.  They had their hands full with the Pegasus thing..I suppose 3 unique combat set-ups would be more than they could bare...I'm going to go out on a limb and guess we won't be getting an UBER aerial combat system. (using Icarus Wings for actual attacks and positioning)  It was never expected..but one could hope.

~I can't wait to see how Rage of the Titans effects the various weapons (and perhaps the spells..relics seem like a bit of a stretch no matter how I look at it)

Here's to not keeping up.  AoH is loosely reincarnated as a BK hammer special..look at the Comprehensive Thread for the discussion Soul and I had about it.  Artemis has been dropped apparently...for BIGGER and BETTER things apparently...so long as the Homerun technique returns I do not care.

The pushed things to the limit already.  This would be too much.  That is why we aren't getting the playthrough benifit they originally intended to give us for GoW1 save data...that and starting with enough power to instantly beat the Colossus would ruin the game for most.  They had to go a different way with it.

Just got the demo 2 hours ago and i've been playing it since then (non-stop)... It's pretty short u know.. I've repeated it more than 10 times now... Perfected it.. I'm not lieing or anything (it's not like it's impossible to get the demo (not here 3C).. There were like 20 copies of it at the store so i thought i'd get 3... The newest moves i've loved till now were the rappling (we all knew that) and the altering of R1 + L1 to get free from the collossus' hand (bet we'll use it more later on)... The way he climbs the walls is also pretty cool... You could actually feel the blades puncturing the wall and his movement changed a bit (better).  Kratos is much powerful than b4 (since he's a god now)... And Poseidon's Rage is pretty much the same... It's shorter and less efficient than in God of War 1, although it's maxed out... Some minor changes have been made like Gate-opening. Instead of reapetedly pressing R1 u hold it with R1 and tap O.  I just couldnt wait a bit more for the real thing... The urge just got to me eventually... It's ok... Atleast I'd own the demo and the real thing eventually... YoZbaNaToR

*****!!!!SPOILER!!!!**********!!!!SPOILER!!!!**********!!!!SPOILER!!!!**********!!!!SPOILER!!!!********

Oops! Sorry... I was still playing it again... I"M STILL GETTING ONE HIT FROM THE COLLOSSUS! I WANT to perfect it! Ok so i memorized it... You guys probably saw the intro... When Kratos is sitting on his throan and the woman starts talkin (blah blah blah) he gets up and heads to the city... Athena conspires against him (lol) and wakes the collosus.. You shrink and end up in the a room filled with soldiers that keep on commin... The woken collosus would be watching u all the time and would be trying to get to u... After u kill them all you open a gate and kill 10 or more soldiers.. The collosus hits the wall (taking 2 hiding soldiers with him) making a hole in it... You get in and climb a ladder to your right...Once you get on the balcony ahead of u you'll notice the collosus' arm rushing towards u.. u double jump and he hits the balcony... You start fighting him on the ground.. He starts throwing soldiers at u and hitting the ground with one hand to crush u  (just use the right analog stick to avoid).. You then start hitting his hand everytime he hits the ground... You keep doin it unitl he gets knocked out (closes his eyes)... Run left and jump to find the catapult... Launch the rock at him and then get on it... (you probably saw that part in a trailer... 4got which one.. the part when he says: I am what the gods have made me!) The sequence is [], [], [] , and []... You'll take out his right eye.. You get thrown to another building (you''ll land on the roof then fall into water)...It is then when u get introduced to grappling... And to the new wall-climbing skills.. Yes i performed the wall moves and they were facsinataing.. Kratos moves pretty quickly now on walls (with the help of the new controls ofcourse...).. I don't want to spoil it any longer for u.. You get to fight the collosus one more time and u get thrown to another building and climb a ladder to find him poking at u through the window with (left) eye... You hit it and then he breaks the wall to throw u backwards.. And that's the demo... I found 1 secret and that's it.. i REALLY don't want to spoil it for u any more!... I'm pretty hooked on it!!!!! BUT IT"S TOO GOD-DAMN SHORT (and still hooked!!!)... Oh yeah i 4got... Hit SELECT and you'll access:

Powers Ups: Poseidon's Rage and Athena's Blades.. both are maxed and 6 others are locked...

Items: Gorgon Eyes (collect 6 to expand health), Phoenix Feathers (collect 6 to expand magic bar), Cyclops Eye (Slay the cyclops and collect the eye to earn a bonus treasure. There are 20), Urn of Power (only 6 to collect. They contain untold power), Poseidon's Trident (ofcourse you start with it and know it), 5 others are locked...

Moves: We know them... Basic moves and some new style moves since you have athena's baldes rather than the blades of chaos..

Status: It records your over-all playtime, Total deaths, Total Saves, Max Combo, Red Orbs Collected, Kills, Brutal Kills, Dismember Kills, and Shatter kills...

The urns of Power are as follows: URN OF GAIA, URN OF THE GORGEONS, URN OF OLYMPUS, URN OF PROMETHEUS, URN OF THE FATES, and URN OF THE POSEIDON....

The thing is i found it at a store u won't know... Evan knows where i'm from so he'll probably know i got it easy....;).. Hope i've been of some help...

Max Combo: 714, Max orbs acquired: 2924 How's that for a record??Soulxxx

I can't believe a student of GodModeGOD would still think combos worthy of note..

I may be wrong, but wont getting huge combos help in GOW2? if you get a 714 hit combo and press L1......everyone gets pwned......so it cant be that bad.

Snake, mind not this foolishness of GMG. *Envy drives him*

SRSLY, GMG what's with the hate? I dare ya to try PR whoring and get to such numbers. I DARE YA! And what the hell made PR Whoring a LOSE?? Since when??

Did anyone see the GDC 07 Keynotes?? I WANT A PS3!! LittleBigPlanet looks so awesome!
