That's a bit simple minded in my opinion. You're thinking of a story the way that movies and books use them.
This is a video game.
I'm not going to write out my full thoughts here, though, since it would take a good few pages and I'm busy today >.<
Why put all your chips on the table at once? They show us an old build, then when there's an actual important event (VGA... LOL), then they show the REAL build and blow some minds.
As often as people say "I don't buy into hype," that is exactly what happened. They believe not only that this is the most current build, but that it will LITERALLY look like a painting come to life.
90% of the bashers will probably eat their words come, oh I don't know, something like 365 whole days from now? Huh, that seems like a lot of time to update graphics and what not. Eh, I'm sure they'll just piss away that time making GoW themed levels in LBP. That's what I ...
Hurr hurr, I love trolls!

It's not just the physical attributes. It's the personality he has that separates him from other characters. Give me any Gears character model and add a personality as amazing as Nathan's here and I'll love them just as much.
And they showed GoW3 game play footage. Not a cut scene made in-engine. It's just not fair to compare graphics like that in my opinion.
@3.2
Of course it was more impressive. It was Uncharted 2. And it WASN'T ACTUAL GAME PLAY LIKE GOD OF WAR 3.

I actually feel sympathy for the people getting the job cuts, not the corporation that's going to get through this relatively easily...
Its not biased in my opinion. It's a PS3 website, so PS3 owners will be there. They may not care about 360 info. Kind of like me right now. I'm not planning on buying a 360, and if I do it's just for the exclusives, so I don't really care to know details.
If it's on PS3, then I'm set. They're just targeting a specific audience.
That's my take on it.

"Information discussed within the confines of internal company meetings is confidential and subject to change."
Yeah, they just basically told me that that info WAS discussed in internal company meetings, isn't confidential anymore, and will probably happen.
They should have stuck with; "We do not discuss rumors and speculation."
Santa Monica is making GoW3, and Jaffe left that studio to start his own. That's why he's not the director.

I never noticed the color scheme in Killzone 2 before. Thanks for pointing that out! Wow, it's been shown since 2005 and I still haven't noticed that... I shore must be stoopid.
Do you know how big Level-5 is? They don't want to be bought, and they don't need to be. They're going to stay independent, I can nearly guarantee that.

Those are called fanboy goggles. Stop insulting PS3 owners just because you're a fanboy. It's not fair to all of us legitimate gamers. I'm ignoring you, so don't get back to me with one of your lame insults.
@2.3
Mind telling me how you're an expert on all this? You seem pretty sure of yourself, yet I find myself hesitating to believe a word you say...
I agree with them. God of War 2 is an AMAZING game.
Jealous? Who the Hell gets jealous over games unless it's the developer? You need to get some maturity brotha!
@1.6
Good job explaining why it was outlandish. I totally see it from your perspective now.
Wait, this is an RPG by Level-5? Quoted as being the biggest project some of the devs have ever worked on? It's promising more than any other currently known RPG (possible exceptions: FFXIII, FF V XIII)?
Looks like I DON'T understand your perspective. Huh...
@4.2
I'll let you know once you stop posting.
Why must you assume that the quality will drop? This is Sony. Not Nintendo. Not Microsoft.
Look at interviews from Yoshida, for instance. He loves hardcore games, and he wants to please hardcore gamers. Would we have Team ICO if that weren't the case (look at their sales record. It stinks, relatively). God of War can continue past 3 and still be a fan-f#cking-tastic game.
You're a pessimist. I'm an optimist. I think that's the kicker.
