On March 31, 2010, Sony Computer Entertainment's Santa Monica Studio will be releasing 2009 Spike Video Game Awards' "Most Anticipated Game" of 2010, God of War III. The game is the fifth and final installment of the series and will be the first God of War game to be released for the Playstation 3.
G.O.W. III takes place immediately after the events on God of War II and is promised to take full advantage of the PS3's rendering muscles and will support full 1080p HD and Sixaxis vibration capabilities. But, will it be as good as Uncharted 2: Honor Among Thieves? That remains to be seen.
G.O.W. III will see Kratos on Gaia's back leading the Titans to charge up Mount Olympus to take on whatever God dares to stand in their way to finally fulfill his relentless pursuit of vengeance. Does that mean Kratos is the one responsible to the end of Greek Mythology? It sure looks that way.
While there will be new weapons and new bosses involved this time around, the developers have focused on increasing the number of enemies that appear on the screen from 15 to 50 and giving a better sense for gamers when they're fighting one enemy as opposed to a horde at a time. In other words, your strategy of fighting one will be far different from when you decide to take on an army of them. Furthermore, the combat system for G.O.W. III will feature a seamless switching of weapons during a battle allowing more ways for gamers to eliminate their enemies.
I'm a fan of the franchise, and I must say that their decision to have a game for the PS3 is a no-brainer and is the perfect arena to end the series. But what I enjoy most about the entire God of War franchise is the engrossing storyline, superb dialogues, gorgeous character and environment designs, and of course the action. Everything else is just a bonus for me.
Here is the Japanese trailer:
