Yeah, it was quite funny that in GOW you screwed him over twice. Just let him fall into the Hydra`s stomach the first time, and then in Hades, caught onto him to prevent from falling, climbing up him, and letting him fall into Hades. No way he`s a boss though, like the Barbarian king, returning from the dead, even though that would be kind of funny.
Blast it evan! You have jinxed us now!(j/k) But that is something to worry about, since a desert level on Kronos the titan was shown as a demo before GOW came out, but in the end it was deleted. So, even a demo`ed level can possibly be cut, although it would be highly unlikely. And, were only one of these box arts to have that terrain, I`d be more nervous about it not actually being in the game, but since two of them(both being highly possible box arts) have almost the exact same kind of art in the backround, it would seem like something solidly put into the game. Although GMG has a point since we have no idea how old these are, and in the end anything can happen. Just cross your fingers everybody.
Nice new banner GMG. I certainly hope that at some point we fight at least 2 mobile ones. Perhaps on higher difficulty levels more will appear in a place where there was only 1. That is really what video games like this are about, the really high-paced fierce battles against multiple opponents(or 1 if it is a boss). And besides, in GOW1 we fought multiple cyclops`, although I think the maximum for cyclops` was 2.
You`ve got a point, although I still think the head completely says Minotaur, not just the horns, but the general shape of the head as well. I highly doubt it would be known as clone, since were a monster to be called clone, logic would dictate that it would change form to "clone" something, or it would be a mass-produced clone, which is pretty much what the undead soldier is, so clone doesn`t seem like a fitting title to me. And, I think I remember that in one of the first GOWII interviews, I think at last year`s E3, Cory, David, and one of the guys from Gamespot had a talk and they showed clips of the game, and one of them was that rock beast, and I think the Gamespot guy(I forget his name, sorry) called it like a rock/whatver minotaur, I would think, if it wasn`t a minotaur, Jaffe or Barlog would have corrected him, even if they didn`t give the actual name.
Crosses fingers. But looking at the box arts again, despite my initial assumption that that mountain in the backround is the one we see sometimes in screenshots from the temples of the fates, it could easily be argued as Olympus. I still think it is the mountain at the edge of the world, likely the home of the three sisters of fate, but I can`t really give any concrete reasons.
Interesting observation about that phoenix symbol GMG, in my mind, since even if neither of these box arts is the real one, for both of them to have that phoenix symbol and similar temple design would mean it is more than just concept art, and would actually have some meaning, which would imply that those soldiers that we saw are likely soldiers stationed in that temple and we will fight them(already known since that pic shows us fight them right?), and also, that there is a good possibility of a phoenix boss/regular enemy, leaning more toward boss. Otherwise why would it have a symbol on a temple if it was just a regular enemy?
I would think Rock Minotaur or Lava Minotaur. Because it is obviously a minotaur, so I would assume that Minotaur would be within the name, and as it is made of rock and lava, one of those two would make up the other part of the name. But, as you said, we`ll likely have to wait for the game to know the real name. Although anything with Minotaur in the title would likely be a safe bet.
I say number 2. Well, we can now, sort of get a good enough look at the statues. I`m thinking that at least the right statue is a giant/cyclops. The image for the left statue is slightly different between the two box arts, on 1 it looks like it has a beard and hair(making me think Zees), but on the 2 it looks a little different, more like there is a collar, or corrosion.
