God of War 3 arrives on PS3

December 16th, 2008 by Edwin in Games – New Releases



Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) has just unveiled God of War 3 – the latest version of the phenomenal hit that will be a PS3 exclusive. Will it be a system seller just like how MGS4 was? Perhaps, but whatever it is, a good game will definitely move systems, and God of War 3 does come with a pretty impressive past, so hopefully it will be able to live up to the hype by offering gore and carnage in a high definition glory, placing Kratos at the center of the carnage and destruction as he attempts to gain revenge against the Gods who have betrayed him.

Set in the realm of Greek mythology, God of War 3 is a single-player game that allows players to take on the climatic role of the ex-Spartan warrior, Kratos, as he treads through the intimidating heights of Mt. Olympus and the dark depths of Hell once more to seek revenge on those who have betrayed him. Armed with double-chained blades, Kratos must take on mythology’s darkest creatures while solving intricate puzzles throughout his merciless quest to destroy Olympus. Utilizing a new game engine built from the ground up and state-of-the-art visual technologies, the development team behind God of War 3 have made significant strides in giving players the realistic feel of actually being on the battlegrounds. With texture resolutions being quadrupled since God of War 2, God of War 3 will feature fluid, life-like characters, as well as dynamic lighting effects, a robust weapon system, and world-changing scenarios that will truly bring unmistakable realism to Kratos’ fateful quest. Players will have a chance to join battles on a grand scale with many more enemies on- screen and be able to interact with levels like never before.

There is no word on pricing, but expect it to retail at prevailing market rates. We can also look forward to God of War 3 picking up accolades from the industry if it proves itself worthy to demanding gamers.
