Kratos absent at E3 2008?

Contrary to what we announced last Tuesday, that God of War III would be presented at E3 2008 to be held from 15 to 17 next July in Los Angeles, it is not acquired that Kratos will travel up the USA, Sony had no confirmed information during the IDEF 2008. A misinterpretation on our part which should not prejudice the career of demi-god of Olympus.

I think Sony shut them up, so that they can surprise at E3. I just hope they release a teaser trailer:D

Not actual trailer but a fan made trailer. Just gave chills up my spine :P

supahbad6532d ago

really, pretty annoying that they can put up contradicting articles back to back. i'm sure we'll have a little GOW3 goodness at E3

hazeblaze6532d ago

Yea, I didn't expect to see gameplay. But I at least hope to see a trailer for the next GOW! If they don't show one then I will be very doubtful the game will make it out by next March.

Condoleezza Rice6532d ago

Let's see how this unfolds,I have a strong feeling we'll get a whiff of Kratos in HD soon.

TruthBTold6532d ago

first get your attention by saying they know something about the GOW3 showing at E3 and then after a couple of days come back and say they received "new" info that the game wont be shown just to get peoples attention again. For me it is obvious that GOW3 will be shown at E3 considering it is supposed to be coming out in early 2009 as well as this is a game developed by a U.S. studio and that it was mostly created to appeal to the western audience first and E3 is in the U.S., it just makes sense to use this event to show it, why show it anywhere else? I think its safe to say we dont need someone telling us this is news when its expected. I'll forget what they have to say about GOW3 and just wait for E3 for the showing.

jtucker786532d ago

Let's hope so, but I have a feeling the trailer will only be a teaser like the first Resistance 2 trailer.

...still like to see it though.

hack64646532d ago

We will definitely see... something. Sony wants to surprise us.

NO_PUDding6532d ago

I truly hope we don't, becuase it will just be all opver websites for the next 6 months. And I can't be bothered with all this Resistance 2 Gears of War 2 crap. God of War III will be much the same.

I want some new IP's!

Kratos will be pressing "circle button" on everyone @ E3.

fishd6532d ago

Maybe M$ paid money to SONY and asked them not to show GOW 3[/End of BS!]
But maybe SONY want to surprise us,huh?

Ryuk6532d ago

Hehehe, I'd say that he better show up. If he knows what's good for him >:D

THE_JUDGE6532d ago

that he will or will not show up. If he is going to show, Sony sure as hell won't be telling anyone. They love to have suprises!!!

Personally, I'd rank Pacific Rift in my top 10. It's the best of the series.

badz149438d ago

We desperately need Motorstorm back. Evolution is no more though and this makes me sad

Cacabunga438d ago

Sly Thieves in Time
Stay the Party
Portal 2
Dj Hero
Demon’s Souls
God of war Ascension

rudero437d ago

2 of those games got railed through the “gaming media” during release.
Sly and god of war.
Both of which were fantastic games.

Cacabunga437d ago

Ascension is VERY underrated. Remake please!

Venoxn4g438d ago

Decent list.. I would put the Castle Crashers as well..

1Victor438d ago

Yes it’s a decent list of popular games with a heavy hand on FPS and no Warhawk or Starhawk 2 of the best games (not sale wise) on ps3.
I would buy a Starhawk again even if it didn’t have a graphics upgrade hell I would even take a new one with micro transactions 😱🤯

Profchaos438d ago

I've noticed a recent nostalgia for the PS3 and I don't get it for me it's been my least favourite generation to date and I've been gaming since the NES I just feel like the ambition of the developers outweighed the capabilities of the consoles so I remember lots of games running in the lower end of 20fps range and I remember for the first time ever actually disliking the duelshock 3 and it's curved triggers

Sure there were some standouts and great games but that's the only gen I switched entirely to PC gaming

darthv72438d ago

Maybe the recent nostalgia is because pretty much all of its games are trapped on that console. People want to play them on more modern hardware. hell... if XB can do it then so can Sony. there are competent emulators out there that can run on PS4/5 hardware but Sony just wont let them become official... why is that?

If we are talking least favorite generations (personally) then this one is certainly mine. i had more fun playing 8th, 7th and 6th gen stuff than 9th. And it isnt like i dont have access to do so... the heavy hitters just havent shown up anywhere close to those previous gens. The few here and there just doesnt cut it compared to the likes of constant good games that showed up in 6th, 7th and 8th gen. hell.... I'll even throw in 5th gen has been better than this one.

Profchaos438d ago

I tend to agree there's lots of amazing games locked to the PS3 like GTA IV or mgs 4 but then again my issue was never with the content the PS3 had but rather it's performance many other people have said the PS3 felt like it couldn't walk and chew bubblegum at the same time using PSN and downloading a game could take a few minutes to just start a download.

I typically don't worry all that much about performance I've never had a problem with games that run at 30 but games like crysis 2, Skyrim are good examples where the performance was so unstable you would never even touch the top of the frame cap and the hitching was worse than say Goldeneye on the n64

I think emulation is more than possible on the ps5 though it's just that Sony has no incentive to rush it's development it will likely be a ps6 feature if it ever happens at all.

But yeah the 9th gen has been so bad from a content perspective thats a given I see constant articles where people are frequently expressing their disappointment around the industry as a whole right now to much live service competition that sinks longstanding studios and consumes Devs time less ambition and games cost so much to make they have to play it safe.

The 5th gen was easily better than the 9th we had some all time greats crash, Spyro, Tony hawk, mgs, Mario,64, Goldeneye, Mario kart 64 the list goes on. The 5th gave us a new dimension and I remember being blown away by how much more open gaming had become the 4th gen with the mega drive and SNES was great and very easy to still revisit some of the greatest games of all time came out like earthbound, secret of mana, sonic , Mario world etc but saving our games was still not a standard function or a given so gaming was still evolving but it was very impressive to see some of the tricks Devs used like dithering to give us new experiences those earlier gens limitations bred innovation.

Michiel1989437d ago

if XB can do it so can sony? I didn't know xbox had a cell processor in their older consoles, that's the reason why ps3 was so cool, but also the reason why games are hostage there and no, xbox did nothing similar even though their backward compatbility is good, they always had a similar architecture to their consoles.

darthv72437d ago

Sorry Michael... I guess you missed the obvious part where i said there are already emulators out that do this. and that is what XB is doing... emulators for OG and 360 games. Its why the full slate is not BC on XBO/Series.

coolbeans437d ago (Edited 437d ago )

The list is missing Folklore.

14 Years Later, God of War 3 Still Has The Best Boss Fights

Kratos' journey in God of War 3 was an angry rampage against the Greek Gods, resulting in some of the best boss battles in gaming.

They went from amazing, huge scale bosses to shirtless Norse people with tattoos...

The only good boss in the new god of war was the mountain dragon.

xHeavYx592d ago

I like the new GOW games, but I do feel that the brutality of the games were toned down way too much in favor for (what some people may call) heartwarming stories. I think both things could co-exist, but if I had to choose, I'd rather have the brutality back.

Goodguy01592d ago (Edited 592d ago )

Agreed. I... barely even remember any of the bosses in Ragnarok even lol. Story bosses only, optionals excluded. Kinda wish Kratos was still an all brutal angry man that way we do go after pretty much all the gods in each mythology. New gow, you feel bad about them...

ravens52592d ago (Edited 592d ago )

I have to agree. Some of the best boss fights. Felt so good to get a new weapon when you beat em. The Hades fight and Hercules fight were dope. The Poseidon fight was fire especially when you went first person. Damn I want to play it over. Sadly all I have is 3 and the new ones. That's why I want a remaster of the first two.

Levii_92592d ago

And we will never.. EVER, get an insane awesome game like this ever again (at least not directly from SSM and Sony)

Hey do you remember those Atreus sections and that Angrboda section where you collect fruit or whatever the f was happening? No. You remember when Kratos ripped off Helios’s head just to use as a flashlight. You remember when he chopped of Hermes’s legs to just so use his boots and you remember the Aphrodite section, when he was gutting Centaurus’s with guts spilling out and when he tied a half naked girl to the gate mechanism pulley thing or whatever it’s called just so she can hold the heavy gate by being mangled into a bloody mess. Good times. 😂

victorMaje592d ago

Mark my words, maybe not God of War, maybe not SSM, but a few years from now, the story will be one of vengeance, the protagonist will be there, the gameplay will meet the expectations, and the right team will be put together, it will feel so refreshing again, and we will rejoice. It’s inevitable.

jambola592d ago

I remember it slightly more fondly because with only 2 characters it was nice to have less yapping and mimir not yelling forced tutorials at me

mkis007591d ago

I like mimir though. He gives more lore for this universe, because God of war has its own lore somewhat separate from actual Norse myth.

jambola590d ago

@mkis007
I'm ok with mimir in cutscenes
I just mean constant yapping and yelling in battle mostly

mkis007591d ago

I do love the hades fight...so fricken brutal how you bash him into the ceiling with his own weapons over and over.
