When David Jaffe weighed in on the God of War III footage he saw, we desperately wanted to get a peek. Apparently, the trailer they previewed at the SpikeTV Video Game Awards wasn't shown in its entirety, so ever since, we've been wondering exactly what it was he saw.
Well, we're not sure if this is all of it, but the new Epic Scale Trailer is downright amazing. And believe it or not, Jaffe is actually nervous that everyone might not be as impressed as he was; here's what he wrote over at NeoGAF:
"I tell you what, I'm not even WORKING on this latest GOD OF WAR game and I feel more nervous about the press and net responses to THIS game than EVER before 🙂 Sh**…what if – TO YOU- it DOESN'T really look like a painting come to life!?!? Ah well, I stand behind what I said. Eager to see if you guys/gals (as well as the press) felt/feel the same way."
Well, color us amazed, even if this trailer isn't exactly what Jaffe saw. And the best part? An SCEA representative confirmed to the MTV gaming blog that the entire trailer is indeed in real-time , and another Sony rep confirmed with Gamezine.uk that there "was no post-work done on the trailer." Okay, so who isn't drooling right now? Who hasn't soaked their keyboard with saliva? …okay, that's gross, but you know what I mean. Oh please let this game come out ASAP!
Oh yeah, and if you want to check out the freshly launched God of War III website , feel free.

Well that beginning when the crow was pirched on the rocks. The grass looked so real, i thought it was a real scene captured in the video until i see Kratos trample over it.
i was very impressed by the trailer.
Was that Gaia they were all fighting on?
It was one of the Titans from greek mythology
you know the original gods
so yeah, it was.
There are some new screens that do look like a painting . They are not from the trailer and show Kratos fighting a centaur while a red titan looks on from the background .

I'm so excited for this game. The trailer was amazing. That little 3 minute long trailer is better than most full games. This game is turning out to be everything I hoped it would be.
very nice lol, seems that things will go well for sony, I wonder what the production cost is, hopefuly low I mean they already got the engine.
Its looks very nice, If you open GameTrailers in two windows and compare the VGA and EPIC trailers you will see the mass amount of improvements Jaffe was talking about!!
Well, after seeing that, if it is "real-time" generated as claimed… it is goodbye to the competition… This was the tipping point I was waiting for… better than Killzone 2, yes?

I'm DROOLING. Omg this is freaking beyond awesome!
Oh man that's awesome.
Very impressive, if it is real time then GOW3 is the best looking console game by far. On a side note am I the only one who felt bad for that bird creature when Kratos ripped it in half?
I felt bad for it… and yes, GoW III is the tipping point!

Meh, I chuckled when he tore the bird in half.
Can you believe I've never played a God of War game? I know im a disgrace haha. I cant wait to play this though! Seems like a must buy.
I'm in the same boat
considering buying the old ones after seeing that trailer though
It's a must buy. As were the first two. Go get the first two…NOW.
I say don't get the first to yet. Wait about a month until GoW3 releases, then buy it. If you play it any earlier, you will become hopelessly addicted to the series, which will make waiting for the latest installment almost impossible.
Right now, you have it easy because you don't really know what to expect. Playing the awesomeness that is God of War is like playing a game created by the [Gods].

best game trailer that I have seen in a while. The first glimpse of the titan climbing up the wall looked good and made me crack up laughing in disbelief
All these trailers are just teasing me give me the game already II can't wait anymore.
"Painting come to life", "running in real-time","gorgeous animations","ginormous scale"!!!!!!!! (Shit, I just wet my pants!) Huunnngggrrryyy for more! THANK YOU Sony Santa Monica!!!
I need a new keyboard!!! ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS WOW WOW WOW!!!
Damn i need a new diaper…

Wow
WOOOOOOOW…………THAT SHIT IS FUCKING RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!

Tipping point! 3-4 years into the consoles life and we begin to get a sense of what Sony has been saying all along… what will be interesting is the review from Edge… I think if they don't give GoW III a 9 or above it will really expose them for who they really are…

So you've played the current build of the game, Qubex? You know how the game plays? I'm not saying GOWIII will be terrible, but you haven't played it yet, so how can you get, eh, pre-angry at Edge? It could very well be that the game deserves a low score upon release. Hopefully that won't be the case, but you never know. . . .
Wise words LividFiction… but from their track record it does show bias toward the 360. Also, with some intelligence, noting how well the first GoW games did, and having played the second one, and also knowing the developer is one of the best out there… one can make an educated "guess" and/or "conclusion" that the third installment should be stunning, unless something has gone terribly wrong… the chance is there that it could go bad… but I highly highly doubt it… and I am sure most of the readers here will agree with me on that!
Therefore, if Edge gives it below a 9 I feel they are then truly exposed!

I need to play GOW, GOW2, and GOW CoO before this comes out. First KZ2 shows what the PS3 is capable of, next Uncharted 2 will show us a true action movie in game form, then GOW III will rewrite what it means to be EPIC, and then GT5 will have people thinking they can drive their in game Ferrari to pick up groceries! What's next? SOCOM becomes a true Navy Seal sim, M.A.G. becomes a new way to plan out or fight wars, HEAVY RAIN looks so good that a movie adaption is made using real gameplay!!
Footage looks better than DMC4 and NG2. I'm actually kinda psyched.
it looks like the titans are climbing mount olympus…
which means that Kratos is probably part of a large-scale effort to fight them off, which in turn means that it is within the realm of possibility that you could be fighting alongside other gods…
if you remember the end of gow2, kratos is climbing mount olympus with the titans to take down zeus and the gods.
That's brutal Lightshow… thought you knew something about GoW. Apparently you know nothing about the series. What happened to you?
i know what i read on Wikipedia, I've never actually played the games =S
well to LightShow and everyone reading this, this God of War will be the last…the final chapter in the epic Playstation classic. His reference "EVERYONE MUST DIE!" should point out that Kratos is out to kill all of the Gods.
Well, thats what I THINK is going to happen. Not to mention in the trailer on the playstation network are the minions of Zeus, which is for whatever reason, trying to kill Kratos.
It is going to be game of the year. Killzone 2 looks amazing but god of war three is going to be the mark for all future action games. Too bad the series is coming to an end. The should release the first 2 on psn
All I have to say is BAD ASS. This is the reason why I bought a PS3.
I think my eyes just had an orgasm.
I discharged in my pants..again
Very nice. It will be one for the record books. But if you haven't played any of the others GOW's I suggest you do, it is my favorite game series ever.
@cheng – A new diaper?… So umm you wear them all the time? Hehe
That is one detailed crow, the stills look great, but the trailer still kinda looks weird to me.
It looks awesome, but it doesn't look hi-res. The screens look way different though, I guess it's the video.
The intro with the crow looked phenomenal o_O
And now we know it's actually real time..

yeah, someone has been thumbing down alot in all of the posts in the last 2 weeks.
Graphics still need improvement imo. Can't wait to see the finished product.
incredible……
Heavy rain pls
If that's real time that's it….
Seriously best game ever lol…
Every GOW game owns!
One of the best gaming series ever!
Cell B.E + RSX. Nuff said.
