There’s a secret (well, until now) Sony event going on in New York City just now, with a brand new area of God Of War III on display to the lucky Americans present.  The level, and even the theme of the level, is strictly under embargo until January, but that hasn’t stopped me trying to push anyone I know over the pond for the tiniest snippets of information.

I got nothing back, though – nobody’s prepared to speak out.  I even asked Jeff Rubenstein who told me he had to remain as tight lipped as everyone else.  I do get the impression it’s fantastic though, and although the GoW series has always been about spectacle and staging, this new level is supposed to be particularly wonderful. I’ll keep pushing, mind, even if it’s just for some idea of the new level’s setting.

It’s Friday, what else am I going to do?

  1. HipHopGamer has done a quick video where the presenter and guest have just witnessed the short new demo clip and both of them are speechless!


    • Believe me, there is nothing better than HHGS being speechless


      • :-D


      • Awww leave him alone, he’s like an excited puppy :D


      • He’s very funny. Unintentionally, but funny.


      • Meeeeeow!


  2. Embargo’s suck but it’s still good to know that God Of War 3 is looking as good as ever, I just hope they have the controls fixed as I was unimpressed with the demo release, I know it was old code so I hope it’s been sorted out.


    • Is it likely that they would change the controls? I have never played I or II (but hopefully santa will see me good) and I could not get my head around the roll control on the demo. Is this likely to be made into a sensible control for camera? Or is it something I need to deal with.


      • That’s something you’re going to have to get used to, and once you do you won’t be able to imagine any other way. You’ll notice it to begin with but that roll really is handy!


  3. God damned Americans get it all… Look New York is already one of the most awesome places in the world in December – they should have shared the love a bit and brought the GoW roadshow to rural Leicestershire


  4. Tad off topic,(and not if you catch my drift) but has anyone downloaded the Dantes Inferno demo off the yank store?? i have and i must admit, i was pretty impressed (they seem to have burned the controlling an ogre type thing straight from GoW3) cheeky buggers, and it releases before too…


    • Yeah the demo is alright, pretty slick tbh, its obvisously taken alot from gow series and added some of their own, think of it as a horror/darker version of gow in many respects, you can choose to punish or obsolve enemies too, load of cool stuff, but nothing beats god of war, NOTHING! :)


  5. I WANT NEW GOD OF WAR FOOTAGE NOW! Embargoes are useless anyway, we all know that. What’s a couple of weeks? Release now!


    • You know damn well, someone will of got some hidden camera footage…keep em peeled ;)


    • It means that lots of sites have gushing previews ready to go at the same time. Apparently it’s better if it all comes at once, rather than lots of pieces spaced out.


  6. Kratos: Lost in New York.


  7. Friday 11th Dec, 10.30pm, Channel 4 – Sex In The City: In this weeks ‘Sex InThe City’ Miranda starts dating a new man from Greece. During their date, all hell breaks loose – literally! Will Miranda fall for the gruff Kratos? Watch out for the sequence when Kratos shreds Carrie Bradshaw limb from limb – with hilarious consequences! Also available in HD.


    • How often does ‘Sex and the city’ get mentioned on this site? Once, hopefully.


      • Nofi prefers “The L Word” anyway.


  8. Just tell me whether there were topless women and a goat sacrifice at this one.


    • Bizarrelly we had a stripper at our works Xmas party last night.


      • Raen put on a good show, yeh? :D


  9. Looking forward to seeing whatever it is anyway, I’m really hyped for both GoW3 and Dante’s Inferno right now, Any new screens or footage would be nice!
