Medusa Blades- An idea for a Alternate blade type that would stone enemies
which didn't make it.
GamePro Screens-These screens are from a newer build than E3. To be honest the game
looks better in the current build.
Trailer-Can't say when the new trailer will be out, but there will be a new one when we are
ready to show you guys something cool.
GOW2 Ending gods- Zeus-guy with white beard, Hades- guy with helmet
and horns, Hermes- guy with Flaming head, Poseidon- Brown hair and
facial hair, Helios- the guy with laurels in his head (If you guys looks closely
you will see that the Colossus boss from GOW2 is actually a statue of Helios, the sun god!)
Atlantis/Hades- I cannot talk about details when it comes to locations of the game
but you guys are right about "depths".
Voice casting for GOW3 on IMDB- Voice actors change all the time so nothing on that list is
final or accurate.
Trivium song- Sweet band, awesome song, not in the game. We will stay true to original
GOW soundtrack. The will be a seperate Metal Soundtrack which should be really awesome!
Sixaxis- If it gets used it will be in a manner that makes sense and works for the game.
We will never put it in, or be forced to put it, if it means it will hurt the game in any way.
Making of Documentary- Yes, we are making one. If you bet the GOW3 demo from the Distric 9 bundle you will unlock an exclussive making of GOW3 documentary.
Alpha/Beta stages- Can't say exactly were we are but we are in really good shape as Stig
mentioned.
Enemy Variety- We will have a nice a variety of enemies. We are actually having a hard time getting them all placed around the game.
How does Kratos reach the gods? Sorry you are going to have to wait and find out for yourself!
How long is the game?- About 10 hrs for hradcore gamers, 20 for casual.
Game Cover- None of the game covers shown so far are the final and oficial covers.
Please make some comments on the 2 post below......one is for the Demo Impressions and the other for Th Ultimate Edition. By having seperate posts I can answer more specific questions. Thanks for reading!!

This sweepstakes is only for US.Not even canadians ,not to mention europeans like me... :(
There is GOW fans outside of the US you know.Why we are always forgotten?
With post above I meant that not even canadians,not to mention europeans can win,only us citizens.
The lack of GoW3 information and advertising is pitiful.
GoW will likely fail in terms of sales on Ps3, all because you can’t let any of your cards show.
GoW1 was being shown in great over a year before it was even released. Try harder, Sony Santa Monica.
God of War III is really coming along, and as we get closer to our March launch date, you will definitely start seeing more of the game.”
But what you mean by “get closer to march”? March is 3 months away. How much closer to the release date we will start getting new (videos)(screens)(info?)
However…regards for making the best game ever and don’t forget all your fans....
No matter what we talk here or on the official gow forums(forums.godofwar.com)and how much we beg ...nothing.
I've begin to worry about GOW3 ,really.the game is gonna be released after 3 months and there are no new media from it.If we talking about some mediocre game(on of the many) it would be ok.BUT we talking about for the biggest(along with GT5) exclusive for PS3.It need some hype around it,at the moment people really not talking about GOW3 in the game forums.:(
This cannot be good for the sales of the game.I really want GOW3 to be super hit ,bigger that U2 for example,but with this advertise...I don't know
WHEN IS THE GOD OF WAR COLLECTION COMING TO EUROPE?
Everyday I come to this blog hoping for something new.
And everyday I'm disappointed.
We (god of war fans) are forgotten these days ... ;(
God of War II was shown a full trailer one year before release, with a huge ovation, I can't find the video on youtube at the moment(maybe it was E3)
The reception of God of War 3 E3 show was much more quiet..
Come on GOW and Santa Monica meet the expectations you created with the first two games...
The lack of patience of some people....
ATTN WHINERS: GROW THE FUCK UP.
You are not entitled to communicate directly with developers, and yet this developer is kind enough to occasionally talk directly to fans. He is NOT ALLOWED to just say whatever whenever.
I thought these games were rated M... how is it that a bunch of children are the biggest fans?
When Bruno looks at this blog, do you think he wants to see people bitching about no information? He can't do anything about that; there is a PR schedule. It will just make him regret communicating with fans directly.
So please, maintain a mature tone and be patient. Sorry to act like some kind of moderator, but the people posting here need to think a little more about what they're doing.
Come down people...
About the post above,no need to curse:)
We all know that it's not depend of Bruno when something new will be released.
Let's hope that the people from which depend when the new info will be released see that the interest is high and do something about it ;)
I think most of the people above are just concerned .
Have a nice day/night...
http://www.gow3forums.com/download/gow3forumsPRO4.jpg
Came on guys, look at this picture.. This game is already looking better, than any console games out there..
Uncharted 2 looks a lot better.
Yes Uncharted 2 looks very beautiful ,but GOW3 from the Gamepro screens looks at least on par or even better than U2.Kratos model is the best in-game model I ever seen and this is even not the final version of the game.
Stop with this "Uncharted 2 will not be surpassed this generation" .It will be...very soon
Uncharted 2 HAS been surpassed.
A game called CRYSIS says hi.
We talking about console games.
If someone still not voted for GOW3 in the most anticipated game for the 2010 make it here http://www.spike.com/event/vga2009/page/vote
Let's show which game is the number one for 2010
SCEA Santa Monica and all the staff are working on full blast, as UC 2 is so spectacular and so were to struggle more and more, so all the fans because they ask for your patience ... for staying with us new trailer soon ......
Where you found this Heracles?
Is this a statement from the developers?
Bruno Velazquez said... SCEA SANTA MONICA.
Uncharted 2 is an amazing looking game. It has really set the bar for all PS3 games. Everyone at the office is playing it and we are very inspired by what Naughty Dog has done. It is making us work harder to make GOW3 as good as possible. you guys know.
There are many things that still need to be optimized
Kratos' brother? I assume he's going to show up at some point during the game. I noticed you're rewarded a trophy for watching "The Birth of the Beast" in the first game. Why would they give you a trophy for watching that particular video if they aren't trying to make sure that everyone is aware that Kratos has a brother who is seeking revenge on him? He's gotta show up in III.
went through a couple pages of the forum and didn't see any new topics about this so i thought i'd ask what your opinions were.
Well,Kratos will have a travel to Underworld once again to kill Hades,so maybe he will meet his brother,but I don't think he will have major role in the 3rd part.
However I still think he will not show up in GOW3,but this is just my thoughts...
Show or not show... after 3 months things will be clear ;)
it`s sunday, time for a new update, common Bruno...
Leave the Bruno alone...
He will update when something new is released officially from Santa Monica.
@gow-fan:
how old are you?
Вhat does it matter how old I am ?
@heracles
That's something I was thinking as well. Why award a trophy for watching that particular unlockable video? It must mean something.
So I guess he'll be a boss or... a playable character?
If he's a boss I hope he shows up repeatedly throughout the game to mess with Kratos like the Tyrant from Resident Evil 3, or Nero Angelo from Devil May Cry.
It seems that many people want to see Kratos brother in the 3rd part.Yes the trophy about this video is one serious hint(there isn't trophies about watching other bonus videos),but it doesn't mean 100% that he will shows up ;)
However if he does it would be interesting because maybe we will find out more about Kratos past (in the cut scene eventually )
Maybe he will not be a boss,maybe he will help Kratos in fight with Hades...just a thought :)

Another month is passed... GOW3 getting closer and closer.
The most anticipated game ever!
Maybe the game is delayed.
yeah march 2011 seems to be the new date.
The game is not delayed.
As Bruno said in some of the previews posts,the game will not be delayed no matter what.So no worries about that... ;)
cant wait for the game
bruno has mention before that the game is not delayed
There were no more new info after the Gamepro and the Ultimate Edition~
This post was posted at 1 November...
It is a mouth already...
The floodgates was open?
I don't think so...
I hope there will have something big in december.....
The fact that there is no new info in the last one month doesn't mean that the game will be delayed.
I'm also impatient to see something new,but ... we have to wait
unlike other users here, i dont mind waiting for new info/screenshots/trailer:)
the game is delayed i`m sure!
I wouldn't mind if the game was delayed I'm sure it would only make the game better..
I wouldn't mind if the game was delayed I'm sure it would only make the game better..

Dude,why you posted your message 4 times?
And the game will not be delayed.GOW games are always release in march so if it is delayed it should be to march 2011.And this of course will not happen.So...
It seems that it really a time for something new-people starts to think nonsenses:) GOW game delayed after month march?You really are not aware of the games released so far...
They are maybe starting to grow a hype for a year. That would be epic..
Wait another year for the ultimate experience..
Deep in our heart we know, that the E3 demo was pretty lame..
We want to see something we have never seen before..
We want to see a new standard..
Only on PS3
E3 demo lame?How can you even say that? :(
It was EPIC!!!
______now.....
No longer will the Fury of the Gods, or the Clash of the Titans, now is the Fury of Kratos....coming soon...
how is the e3 demo lame?
@heracles
Why do you post random nonsensical thoughts?
All over the game forums there is threads about when there will be new media from GOW3.Many people counting on VGAs about this...
I hope they are right.
I don't think so since Sony isn't listed.
Where you find out which games and companies will present?
I have a question about the making of documentary in the District 9 blu-ray.
How long it will be and what will include(new footage?)?
How do you know that there isn't be Sony games at VGA?
Well... waiting for something new from gow3 we can play Dante's inferno demo at 10th decemeber
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/105/1050766p1.html
is true that the game David Jaffe is working on is being tease at vga?
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/12/behind-the-scenes-with-the-scea-music-department/
gow-fan : There was a press release about the Video Game Awards abd Sony isn't listed in it.
"The 2009 "Video Game Awards" will reveal blockbuster global premieres of never-before-seen titles and break international news with announcements of new games from the industry's leading publishers. Game companies contributing exclusive new content to the VGAs include 2K, Activision, Disney Interactive Studios, Electronic Arts, LucasArts Entertainment, Microsoft Game Studios, THQ, Ubisoft, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, with more to be announced in the coming weeks."
See ? No Sony.
Microsoft will be there though, with Halo Reach.
Hmmm this isn't sound good,not at all.
No Sony games at the awards? :(((
So if there is nothing at the VGA,when we will see the new trailer?
The people begin to be exited more and more about games like Bayonetta and Dante's Inferno.They forgetting about GOW3.This can't be good for the game sales. :(
you think sony will not be in the VGA ..? GOW3 if the studio is in the Angeles....
with more to be announced in the coming weeks...""
They don't talk about companies when they say "with more to be announced in the coming weeks".
So Sony won't be there, stop dreaming or you will be disappointed.
Game companies contributing exclusive new content to the VGAs include 2K, Activision, Disney Interactive Studios, Electronic Arts, LucasArts Entertainment, Microsoft Game Studios, THQ, Ubisoft, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, with more to be announced in the coming weeks."
The "more coming" almost definitely refers to game studios. I don't know how else you could interpret it.
Think what you want to.
GoW III won't be there and you'll be disappointed.
It doesn't matter will GOW3 be at VGA or not.However it is nominated in most anticipated game section of the awards...
We just need new trailer,the event doesn't matter :)
Yes yes I want a new trailer too but it seems that it won't be at the VGA like last year.
here are my questions.
1. will be in full 1080p?
2. will it support upto 7.1? (Dolby/DTS/LPCM)
"Think what you want to.
GoW III won't be there and you'll be disappointed."
I never said it would be there for sure, I merely said that there is no reason conclude at this time that Sony WON'T be added to that list of studios in the next week and a half.
Why are you acting like you know something when you obviously don't?
I'm sure we'll see something new in the next month whether it's at the dumbshit VGAs or not.
hey Heracles i think u meant will it be native 1080p?
To the anonymous before rocky : I don't know anything, but Sony / GoW III are important and if they were there they would have been announced them since the beginning.
I hope we will get something new soon ,at least few new screens...The waiting is unbearable :(
Not showing something new is bad for the game. Not enough hype around GOW3 and people start to talk about Bayonetta,Dante's Inferno and etc. forgetting about the biggest game of 2010.
These days games need a lot of advertise no matter how big are they,there is too much competition
I'm sure they can release a dozen screens and the trailer,but why wouldn't ... I have no idea
I know we be dying for new info. but we must patient only 10 days we will c the answer
9 days to VGA and then what?
If GOW3 not present at this awards,why we should wait this event...
Becuz. It's no confirm GoW3 has not to show in VGA. So I still hope for this game award
To the guy(s) whining repeatedly about how the game isn't getting enough hype compared to Bayonetta and Dante's Inferno:
There were already 3 very successful games in the GOW franchise. It's not starting out at the same hype level as Bayonetta or DI. It's already above that. And even though fans really want more info now, there's no point in starting massive hype when it's still almost 4 months away from release.
Very few PS3 owners are going to buy Dante's Inferno and NOT GOWIII. That would be insane. And Bayonetta isn't a direct competitor because it's a very different game, despite being in the same genre.
Maybe you're just trying to goad the developers into releasing something by pointing out how bad their sales will be if they don't show you a new trailer right now. I'm sure you understand the business better than them /sarcasm.
oho, the developers are reading...
to the guy saying that 4 months before a games releases is not time to start hyping it with trailers and such, praytell when is the time two weeks before release date?
http://themindchannel.blogspot.com/2009/12/edge-bayonetta-slaps-dante-kratos-and.html
@most recent anonymous
I'm sure you can think of a time frame that is reasonable. I obviously didn't mean they should wait until it was 2 weeks away. Who would do that?
@heracles
Not surprised at all. The combat in Bayonetta is probably the deepest yet in the genre. Or at least has the most combos.
Fortunately GOW's focus isn't on having the best combat, but the best overall experience. In terms of presentation and story, it will blow away Bayonetta (and every other Japanese action game, frankly).
The last ( and only ) trailer is 10 months old and we didn't see anything except the E3 level ( they have been showing the exact same level since February, they didn't even make a new demo for the TGS ... ) and some random screens.
The demo would have been a good idea if it wasn't the level that they showed to us in February ( screens ) and in all the video games event like E3, GamesCom, TGS ... When I played it I already knew what's gonna happen, no surprise. Plus it's an old build so we don't know how does the game look and play today.
What the hell ? Where's the hype ? Where are the information about the game ? Where are the videos / trailers / screens ?
They seem to forget that GoW III won't be the only beat them all in Q1 2010, there are also Darksiders, Dante's Inferno and Bayonetta.
Sony isn't listed for the Video Game Awards 2009 so we won't see anything new there.
I'm really disappointed by the lack of medias and information. It's 99% sure that the game will be excellent ( it's my most anticipated game for 2010 ), but it's not a reason.
It won't surprise me if the game is delayed.
And sorry for my English.
I understand your concern over lack of media for this game compared to other games, but let's look at it compared to its own prequel, GOW2.
Based on the dates on gametrailers.com, the vast majority of promotional material for the game was released in January 2007. That's 2 Months before launch. The earliest trailer was shown at GDC in April 2006. The only footage shown between April 2006 and Jan 2007 was a trailer in September 2006, which looks like it was just thrown together and had a lot of the same stuff as the first trailer.
Stig has said that they keep on tweaking things in the game until just before it ships, which leads me to believe they are not the kind of studio who is comfortable just showing whatever they're working on at the time. It might change, so they don't want to make promises by showing things in trailers.
We should be grateful for their perfectionism. If they aren't ready to show something, then I'll live with that, knowing they care a great deal about their work.
Corrections to the above: They showed the majority of footage from January onward, including Feb and March.
And there was also an E3 demo, from which much footage was captured.
But my point still stands that so far GOW3 has been no less promoted than GOW2.
It'll be a damn shame if we have to wait until January to see more, but whenever we do, I hope they don't show way too much.
I'm well aware about the media from GOW2 and GOW1.I'm following gow since part 1.
But,now the times are different .Now there is more competition,now big games are promoted months before the game release.This is the way things work 2009 and 2010;)
For me it doesn't matter if the trailer is released decemeber ,january or february .I will buy the game.In fact I will buy two copies-one normal and one ultimate edition.The trailer is more for the people which forgetting who is king(god:)) of the action adventure genre and think that Bayonetta,Dante's inferno,Darksiders and etc. can overshadow GOW3 .
I want the trailer because I'm curious how the game progresses ,I'm sure there is a lot differences compared to the E3 build ;) I'm just impatient :)
Regards!
the developers have no idea what to show, the game is overrated...
so leave dont follow the games progress or play it!!!!!
ok, i won`t be the only one...
Hi Bruno, what do you mean with. "update soon"? your last post is more than a month away...
when can we expect some new infos?
please give us an exact date.
thank you for reading and updating.
i think you`re the only one that cares about gow fans...
"Now there is more competition"
I would actually say the genre has shrunk since the days of the original God of War, which launched shortly after DMC3. Those were also the days of Ninja Gaiden and maybe one of the Onimusha sequels. The competition in the genre of late has been bad GOW-clones like Conan and only recently have real contenders emerged like DMC4 (which was somewhat disappointing) and Bayonetta and Dante's Inferno (which is practically a direct copy).
God of War did fine back then and it will do fine now because it LOOKS the best and has the MOST ACCESSIBLE combat, which is a recipe for greater mainstream success.
I maintain that you are just looking for excuses to justify your impatience and you're trying to persuade the devs that they're going to lose sales.
Why do you care about sales anyway? It's an exclusive, so it may sell worse than Dante's Inferno, and even though that would be unfair, what does it have to do with whether GOW3 is great and you enjoy it?
Like I said, you and other people here are trying to push the devs' buttons in the hopes that they'll break down and release a trailer right away so they don't lose any more fan support. It's not going to work, is my guess.
when is district 9 coming out again?
i'm sure, i heard there is suppose to be an exclusive behind the scenes of GOW 3
http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/District-9-Blu-ray/7594/
sweet, thanks for the link
Hey Bruno just one quick question on animation, how successful has designing posidents minoins been. I rembered in Feburary an article said that they would be insect like beings with water flowing under their translucent skin and I was wondering how realistic they look or if this idea has gotten scraped.
http://www.split-screen.com/2009/12/03/scea-santa-monica-working-on-new-ip-after-god-of-war-iii/
Here we all know that GOW3 is the biggest game this generation...I just wish more people to understand this, patience....coming soon...
Who knows? Beside all those known announcements...I'm sure that Spike saves one or two big surprises for the show. And it's REALLY time for Studio Santa Monica GOW3.. NEXT WEEK MAYBE....
I seriously agree with trilogia_THEEND.All we have to do is be patient.There is bound to be alot info in the future.I mean you guys know how Sony markets God of War games right? They show limited info at first and then they show loads of info like 2 or 1 month before the game comes out.
i remember, back last year when they shown that 45 second trailer on vga.
People were complaining that it look like a ps2 game.
yeah since that Video majority people indict GoW3 graphic like Ps2. and now that people still believe it. next trailer(sure it's anew build) are very important. GoW3 can negate that indict?
"I will update you guys soon with a new post."
That was more than two weeks ago. ;p
"yeah since that Video majority people indict GoW3 graphic like Ps2. and now that people still believe it. next trailer(sure it's anew build) are very important. GoW3 can negate that indict?"
What do you know about what the majority of people think? Did you do a poll?

The god of war team are fantastic .
that an old magazine?
jesus man. you've got a following on here. lol! hope you're well.
hey bruno,
just wanted to add to the 300+ comments here. haha. can't wait until the game comes out!
