GOW 3 Trailer


Here it is finally, the trailer that you guys have been waiting for. Everything you see is 100% in-game. All camera features, including motion blur, run real time in the cinematics and in-game. For this game we decided to try and blend in the cinematic sequences with the in-game sequences,so all models and assets are used for cinematics and for in-game. The Kratos that you will control will be the same you see in extreme close ups, no smoke and mirrors, no model switching. There is no CG cutscenes like the ones in previous GOW games. What you see in cinematics is what you get in-game, no difference. We didn't want to have any jarring changes in detail between gameplay and story. Both Gaia and Kratos are voiced by the same actors as the previous GOW games so please don't worry about that. We would never change Kratos voice. Please enjoy the trailer!

Bruno, How do u feel about this game?

Anonymous said...

Although, the graphics look great. The trailer failed to meet my expectations. We waited a year to see 1 minute of a "big blur." There's a cool glimpse of Hades and of the Leviathan, but that's basically it.
The overall best trailer for this game was the "Fear Nothing" because the graphics were excellent, the music was great, and everything ran at a good pace. Looking back, I think that the trailers for God of War I and II, were better than this one because we got to see cool parts of the game with great music combined with Kratos' wit...

Nonetheless, I'm still very much looking forward to this game. But I must emphasize, I don't think it is right how Sony seems to playing with its fanbase. The trailer should have been longer and done better...(For example, on first watch, it seemed that Kratos had thrown Zeus against the wall....but on pause..it was Zeus who overpowered Kratos...) Now why would you have a trailer done that way..

the trailer was a success. I visited game pages from Spain and Mexico and every comment that was spectacular and the game promises to as high or even a fan boys of Microsoft recognizes the high quality of god of war 3.

santa monica sony can rest assured MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

saludos amigos.

That maybe, but it is also important to listen to the fans. We all like GOW III and want it to succeed. Showing a nice 2-3 minute trailer at a fast but not ludicrous speed is not going to spoil the game.

That would be what the 17 page GOW Review in the UK article does.

If you're going to show something, then you show it. Don't claim you have something cool for people to see but tell us to squint our eyes...and not get a full view.


Nevertheless, I can't wait for this game to come up.

For those of you whom dislike this trailer, just wait a few weeks, you'll be seeing more in the upcoming weeks.

Geoff Keighley will be hosting an episode of Gametrailers TV with the main feature being God of War III

Also, expect to see another trailer around the game's launch.

Heh. I sound like some Sony rep. Awesome.

Jack said...

Hello there!

In the demo you switch weapons with the D-pad.

Do you still use the D-pad or not? I ask because I read in some scans of the UK Playstation magazine that you have to cycle through them with L2 and X. So I was just wondering if you could comment on that. I really hope you guys kept it on the D-pad.

Thanks!

Rock on Santa Monica!

P.S. - The trailer was amazing!

In the trailer when the leviathon shows up,I saw a very long serpent body going from the leviathon down gaia's arm.Can you tell me what is that bruno?

Some questions Bruno, pleasse answer. :)

- Who many hours is the team working per day to polish the game ?

- How would you compare Stig Asmussen to David Jaffe and Cory Barlog, as game directors ?

- Is the game longer than the previous ones ? How long ~ ?

Thank you. ;)

I also don't think it is right how Sony seems to playing with its fanbase.
give us a story-trailer with Gaia`s voice like for the previous games.

they're doing an entire GTTV episode about it, so more will be revealed soon.

@anonymous

"playing with it's fanbase" by not giving you a perfect trailer?

Dude, just shut up. They are making this game for you. It's ok that you don't like the trailer, but to say that they are purposely trying to annoy us, well that's just ignorant. I hope you love the game though.

Rock on Santa Monica!

i agree with jack 100%

Bruno Velazquez said...

Weare not trying to play with anyone or piss of anyone. Each director of each GOW game has his own approach and Stig has decided to not spoil the game by giving away the story. I personally respect this because I often see movies and games giving away too much on their trailers. I feel really good about the final game. At this point we are hands off so what we have show is the final stuff. The trilogy is now complete. Es un placer para mi que hay aficionados de GOW en Mexico, realmente me da mucho orgullo. Gracias a todos. I haven't played the game on Standard definition yet but I'm sure it will look good as well. As far as Atlantis I can't comment at this time.

Bruno Velazquez said...

Oh almost forgot, let me make it clear, there are 2 ways to choose weapons: L1 + X. AND. Select the weapon you like by using the D-PAD just like the demo so please don't worry about the review. They did not discover the D-PAD switch and yes we do have message letting the player know when they acquire a new weapon.

Bruno Velazquez said...

One more thing, that was the Leviathans body, its serpent like.

Unknown said...

thank u Bruno i like the idea of the slecting the weapon with L1+X and the D-pad does that means we will have more than 4 weapons ?

Anonymous said...

He means that items are selected from L1 + any button, for example L1 + square is the bow, so L1+X will be another item or maybe magic.

Anonymous said...

Great work Bruno.

I knew Stig would take this series in the right direction. With Sony Santa Monica Studios there to help him realize his vision...I'd expect no less.

I can't wait for the game..I can't wait to see the Documentary of how you made it, and all the people involved.

Justin said...

Awesome info Bruno. Props to the whole santa monica team you guys are amazing =)

So this is basically THE final build of the game?

Great news if so!

elquemador said...

Hey Bruno, do you consider this game harder than previous GOW games?
so what's next for you guys? a FPS? cover base 3rd shooter?

Bruno Velazquez said...

Let me go over it once more: The controls are the same as the demo. In additon you can switch the weapons, such as blades and cestus, by simply pressing L1 + X in a cicle. If you don't want to cicle, simply select the weapon you want by pressing the correct direction on the D-PAD. The game is though but for GOW vets I would recommend choosing hard mode right away for a solid challenge.

“We’re here at our Christmas uh holiday preview. We’re showing all kinds of stuff. We’ve seen some amazing stuff from God of War. We can’t talk about the
latest stuff quite yet. We’ll be..yeah..uh keep it keep it tight but we will be showing that to you in January.

But it now…uhm just the stuff that we had seen.. I can’t wait to show you guys in January..

John Hight “And uh yeah I don’t know when the next you know press event is but you know we’ll be spilling out stuff probably you know every month uh leading up to our release in March…. so its only a few months way uh so have some patience

Bruno’s Blog “Saturday, December 12, 2009”
NY Secret Impressions---Hip Hop Gamer and N’Gai
“Come January you gonna see what I saw and my man N’gai saw.”

Hip Hop Gamer 12/13/09
“Now the next thing I want to bring up is what a lot of people has been talking about, twittering about, like calling me directly..it’s been crazy.. Now the God of War 3 footage…Listen alright…the footage is crazy.. I can’t say anything in detail.. But I will announce that January 18th will be the day you all get to see what me, N’Gai, and a lot of others saw. So January 18th is the announcement that’s the date you’ll be able to see it then. So make sure you at your computer at 12 o’clock on the dot January 18th . actually not 12 o’clock on the dot.. but uh I can’t I ain’t gonna tell you the time but January 18th it will be revealed. So stay tuned to that.”

For the entire month after these announcements, many people were led to believe that January 18 th would be the day they would see live updated footage .

On Janary 17 at 2:05 AM, the day before the highly awaited date, Bruno writes on his blog “As far as a trailer, I can't really say there will be one but I have seen some screen shots that have never been released ready to go. You guys might be seeing some of those.”

Bruno waited an entire month before replying that he “can’t really say there will be one” i.e. not even giving a decisive answer to state there will be no trailer.”

Right before the vengeance trailer was released, Bruno was asked how long it would be? The question has nothing to do with spoilers, story elements, characters.

Bruno replied on his blog “The trailer will be long enough to satisfy you but short enough to leave you wanting for more.” Again, not providing a definitive answer to a harmless question.

So you don’t call that playing with the fans… Jack, You must be a sony kiss ass….

I like God of War, played and completed all 4 GOW games Chains of Olympus, GOW, Betrayal, and GOW II including all the Challenges and God/Titan mode...

And I still can’t wait until GOW III comes out.

So Jack don’t tell me to shut up.. instead go fuck yourself..

Anonymous said...

Dear Bruno,
Again, the problem with the trailer is not about there not being enough story...it's like promising to show something spectacular but forcing the observant to be blind-folded..

Plus, there were redundant scenes in the game...the dismemberment of Helios, the Icarus' ascent, why were they included in a 1:12 minute clip? Instead it should have focused on letting us see more clearly other scenes, like the fight with Talos, the catapult.

Anonymous said...

I thought the L1+X was the Icarus wing jump move, and the charge attack for the cestus. How can you change weapons with that combination of it is used for something else?

Or maybe I am not reading this right. Heh.

Unknown said...

Oye Bruno,

Primeramente felizidadez a ti y atodos en SCEA. Ojala y tengan mas entrevistas esta vez en el juego. You stated that you can cicle weapons with L1+X... I thought L1+X was the Icarus ascent. Its fine by me, I hardly used that move anyway.

I got one question though, and hopefully you can answer it.
Will I be able to download the morpheus skin thats from the 7 11 promotion in any other way?
My closest 7 11 doesn't carry the cups. Thanks for what I know will BE one of the greates games of all time. Congrats once again.

Bruno Velazquez said...

Thanks for the responses guys. The whole L1+X situation will make sense once you play the game.The important thing is that you will be able to use the D-PAD to switch weapons as well. As far as I know there is only one way to get the 7-11 costume. The one nearm hasn't gotten the cups either but I'm sure there are on their way.

I don't believe Atlantis will be in the final game. Seeing that... um... Poseidon is, well, "taken care of" at the very beginning of the game, I see no reason as to why Kratos would end up it Atlantis.

The comic books however...

Or perhaps they will not include it at all, and that is fine with me.

Thanks a lot Bruno, for answering our questions. Can't wait to try out the Blades of Exile.

Greetings Bruno,


I noticed you said "At this point we are hands off so what we have show is the final stuff."

Regarding what you guys thought as
the "complete" vision of God of War 3.

My question is.

Was a good majority of what you
wanted in the game cut, or were you
guys able to keep most of it?

(I.E. Some levels didn't run to
well so it got cut, etc.)

Jack said...

@Anonymous telling me off,

It's just funny hearing you complain about all this when a month from now you are going to be all smiles, sitting down in front of the TV, enjoying yourself because of all the hard work of the GoW team. Like I said, they are doing all of this for us. If you don't like it, you don't like it. But that doesn't mean they are actually trying to let you down.

Thanks for the answer about the D-pad Bruno!

Bruno Velazquez said...

The reason why we are talking about L1+X:
1. Some of you are asking.
2. The OPM review made it sound as if L1+X is the only way to switch weapons in a cycle.

When I mentioned before that we did not change the controls from the demo I meant that in the final game you will be a ble to choose your weapon by using the D-PAD, just like the demo. In addition, you can also quickly switch weapons in a more fluid fashion in mid combat by using the L1+X move. Using this will cycle through weapons in order.

Demo

D-PAD= choose weapon
L1+X= Icarus wing moves

Final Game

D-PAD= choose weapon
L1+X= Cycle through weapons

Bruno Velazquez said...

Most of the team is pretty hands off at this time, so the game is pretty much done. Many Journalists are already playing it and getting ready for the reviews. Most games are finished 1 to 2 months before release, there are many other steps that need to be taken before a gem can actually hit the shelves. This is why when games get delayed, they get delayed by months.

Para mis amigos de Latino America, GOW3 va a tener la opcion de jugarse en Espanol! Otros idiomas incluyen Frances, Portuges, Italiano, y Aleman.

Zeus voice from GOW2= Zeus voice from GOW3

The very first teaser was CG but that was not made by our team. We opted to push our in-game graphics to look as good as possible and decided to not do CG for this game.

I think the whole team is gonna take a lil break. They have been working on the game for almost 3 years.

lastpanzar said...

Why was it necessary for OPM UK to drop so many spoilers in their review... I was shocked that they did that.

I'm also shocked that of the 3 additional weapons 2 of them are "chain-like". A hair disappointed with this at first, but I'll reserve judgment until I actually play the game.

T-minus 1 month..cant wait

Jack said...

@above

actually, all four weapons have some kind of chain element, even the Cestus. I think the team realized that that's what makes God of War weapons unique. But I'm sure that they will all feel very different, as there needs to be some incentive to actually switch weapons. Personally I think this was a good decision and I can't wait to see them all in action. If they are half as cool as the cestus then I will not be disappointed.

Rock on Santa Monica!

The OPM review was leaked way too early and we are quite sad about this. I would expect other reviews to come out closer to rlease date. If you guys don't want to spiol the game for yourselves then i would avoid that review. Just know that we got 9/10!

I just saw Geoff Keighley today at the office taping the GOW 3 Episode that he mentioned.

I hope you guys won't miss the CG, I know I don't miss it. The current cutscenes makes the game feel more unified and flows from story to action better imo.

I have no info on the GOW movie at all or when we will show more of the game. Probably the GT Tv episode I would pressume will be the next time.

The team is pretty tired after the final push so we will probably take a little rest but we are not done making games thats for sure.

All I can say about the weapons is that I am much more happier with them this time around. I animated the blade of Olympus, Barbarian Hammer, and Spear of destiny in GOW2 and I have to say that I like the weapons in GOW3 better. We listened to the fans and reviewers in regard to the weapons from GOW 2 and decided to make them better this time around. I would have to say that the best secondary weapon up to this point was the Zeus Guantlet from GOW PSP and we drew our inspiration from it for the Cestus. It seems people are happy with the Cestus as well so I am confident you guys will enjoy the rest as well.

Save game system is the same as GOW2, plus a new auto save feature for those of us that don't want to save all the time!

elquemador said...

Thank you bruno, you are my favorite developer!!!!. Auto save? GREAT, im going to be honest i hate the save points in games, because some times you have to stop playing,but want to save your progress, the bayonetta save system is pretty good (of course GOW is the best game,but it wont hurt to apply things from other games that work well) i think the auto save thingy is the best news so far....

Xcalibur said...

An auto-save feature sounds great. But id rather do it the old fashioned way: walking to the light.

If OPM doesn't want this, they should be stricter when it comes to putting out their magazines.

I'm excited to hear what new projects you have in store.
Whether it be some sort of new God of War, or a completely NEW franchise, you can be sure I'll be hyped about it. Sony Santa Monica always delivers fantastic games.

No CG is great news. It's time for games to move away from totally disconnected, superior looking cinematics. They just take away from the in-game graphics by setting a higher benchmark for comparison.

Visual coherence and consistency is way more important to me than shiny CG.

Also, I would love to never see a CG trailer for a game again. That's the absolute worst use of CG and anyone who does it is wasting their time and ours.

No cg I awesome...in the trailer when you see kratos holding up the blade of Olympus or even when you see him slidind down gaia back with the sword in her that is probably a cutscene... I love that because now we can get a full gameplay experience... Sometimes you only pay attention to the cg but now you ficus on everything? Bruno- will the gameplay shown on gttv on the 25th be the same from e3 or is it gonna be new? Also in the demo? Is that taken from the game directly ornate enviorments and cutscenes take out?

Thanks for the posts Bruno.
Do you know(if you can talk about) what gametrailers/spike next week will show in the episode dedicated to GOW3? Which levels?
And when GOW3 review embargo will be lifted?

Can i ask you one question bruno.
When kratos is using another weapon like the cestus do the blades of exile or athena will still be on kratos's back,because in the new trailer where kratos has the blade of olympus he has the blades on his back.thanks.

I'm veeeery intrigued about what we will see at the next week episode (25th feb) of gametrailers show.
Geoff said "tons of new footage" ,this should mean a quite big amount of videos ,right ?:)

Gracias por responder Bruno . Pero yo tambien quisiera saber lo de la pregunta de taif:

"Blogger taif said...

when u play as a bonus game and u select a bonus custome when we get to a cut scene in the game will the bonus custome appears in the cutscene or the original kratos"

I will also like to know, not that it would matter that much since the game is done. Either way it will be a plus for the game.

Thnx Bruno

Bruno. Simple question. Will the cutscenes be realtime? Ever since the first game I have wanted the unlockable outfits to appear during cutscenes. Pleas confirm or deny, thanks!

Anonymous said...

Be sure to check out Gametrailers TV next Thursday. A whole episode will be dedicated to God of War III. Also, expect some new footage.

Bruno,

Are you not able to comment on that? I've been asking this for quite some time an never got a response. Will there be an unlockable to change the blades flames color? I've written a letter to you guys and mailed it letting you in on this idea awhile ago an never got a response =(

If you can respond I'd be greatly appreciated

As I mentioned before GOW2 Zeus voice= GOW3 Zues voice. Same actor.

"hey bruno, been asking for a while now, but would you guys support in-game screenshots or in-game music?" Not sure what you mean, can you give me an example of another Ps3 game that does?

"By the way which controls r for magics now that Dpad is for weapons???" Sorry can't give away evertything!

Bonus costumes in cutscenes? Look to Uncharted 2 the answers.
I don't know what will be shown on GT tv yet, they just shot the episode yesterday.

Thanks Bruno.

Bruno Velazquez said...

I thought I answerd it before, but no, there wont be unlockable colors for the blades. There is a good reason for this however and you will find out once the game is out.

Unknown said...

hi Bruno thanks for the answear but i dont have uncharted 2 if anybody can answer if uncharted 2 bonus custome will appear in a cutscene bec i neva played uncharted 2

Thanks Bruno!
So who made the first teaser?
Are they also doing a new GOW game, the graphics were amazing and that was almost two years ago...

Anonymous said...

the comic looks poor!

Anonymous said...

the comic looks awsome, i ment.

Bruno Velazquez said...

I don't recall the name of the company that made the teaser, but I do know that they are an effects house that does stuff for movies and commercials. The graphics do look great but then again when you use prerendered CG you pretty much have almost no limits. It will be a little longer before games reach that level of detail. Oh and also, no they are not making a GOW game, specially since they don't even develop games.

Bruno, will we start god of war 3 with all of the weapons and powers from god of war 2 and then eventually lose them in some cleverly thought of way? Or will we start without them?

yes they did! it would be nice to see more such CG`s in the future.
You guys did a great job, but there are a lot of people that loved the GOW cinematics in the previous games, they were awsome! so i hope we won`t miss them in this game, as you said...

gow-fan said...

I wish GOW movie (if there will be such a movie in the future) to be all CGI.Some high budget movie like Beowulf ... But with better graphics ;)

Anonymous said...

In the trailer you see a cutscene when kratos is pointing the blade of olmympis high in the air...it's probly the begining of the game when kratos is confronting the gods.....just saying that that looks fucking amazing and j can't wait to play it

Anonymous said...

Bruno,

The guy asking about in-game screenshots and music probably meant photo-mode (like in Wipeout HD, for example) and custom soundtracks (also in Wipeout HD).

I'm gonna guess definitely no custom soundtracks, and probably no on photo mode, though that would be pretty awesome.

I remember a time when you could pause a game without a menu screen coming up. I wonder why they never allow that in modern games. It wouldn't be photo mode, but it would be a great way to admire a scene.

will there be a custom limited edition gow ps3 slim?

Hey Bruno, what does the team do, now that you have completed the game?

Also, have you sent out review copies to gaming sites yet? I know a few magazines have already played the final version.

As for the possible public demo..

I think it would be a big mistake to release a 1 year old E3 demo to the public, which is not representative of the full game...

bruno ve esta noticia

http://news.vgchartz.com/news.php?id=7139&mp=1

¿means that the American version will not come in Spanish language or subtitles?

esto me parece un poco indignante y solo yo si no mucha personas de america latina ya que muchos no saben nada de ingles y minimo deberian de poner subitulos en español o sea dar la opcion esto me parece algo malo a estas alturas.

bruno ojala y se lo comentos a los productores de god of war por favor en el nombre de los hispanos please.

tambien me gustaria saber en donde me puedo comunicar con sony?

mi amigo heracles o hercules gracias por la informacion camarada sin embargo aun me quede con esa duda ya que por ejemplo en foros de sony de mexico comentan que solo el juego vendra con subtitulos en español pero no audio español.

a demas no solo eso, como veras el god of war 3 la version americana tendra 35 GB mientras que la europea 40 FB segun esto se debe a que la europea si va a tener las opciones de idiomas pero la americana no se sabe y solo se piensa que tendra subtitulos en español o eso es lo que parece.

por ese motivo espero que BRUNO VELASQUEZ lo puede aclarar mejor en un proximo post que ponga.

Bruno Velazquez said...

Hey everyone, please welcome GOW 3 Art Director Ken Feldman to this blog! He is the man behind all the art decissions in the game. Yes, Animal Logic in Australia were the ones that created our teaser trailer and they did do a great job indeed.

Can't comment about what you start the game with yet.

Sorry, no custom soundtracks and no photo mode.

PS3 Bundle: I think there will be one available in Europe.

Review copies of the game should be out there with magazines and web sites alreday.

why does the game needs more than a month to be released after it was finished??? We need to localize all teh languages and create versions for all regions.

Bonus costumes will be as detailed as the original Kratos skin.

There is a very good reason why I can't talk about Atlantis.

The fates are dead and Kratos has traveled away from the places were the fates kept their portals and statues so the amulet is now useless.

Hey bruno,in the new footage that will be shown at gametrailers,does it contain spoilers? They will probably have tons of new footage. Anything from this point on will be a spoiler so watch at your own risk!

Hey Bruno, Is it true that even though the cut scenes are in-game graphics they are playing as pre rendered videos??

I will make this clear, the E3 demo does not have any cutscenes that play as videos, those are all 100 percent real-time cinematics, including the opening (Kratos, Helios, grunts running towards the screen) to the end (Kratos diving towards the Titan).

When I mentioned that GOW3 has no CG, I was referring to the fact that we do not have pre-renderd scenes that were created outside of the game engine, like GOW 1 and 2. In GOW3 all the cutscenes are created using our in game engine, however some scenes were just to Epic to run real time and thus are recorded videos. This is not the case for the majority of the cutscenes in the game wich are mostly running real time. This way you can enjoy the bonus costumes for most of the cutscenes in the game, including those found in the E3 demo!

elquemador said...

Whats up Feldman!!!..lol
hey Bruno, can you guys do a unboxing video of the Ultimate edition? that would be so cool of you guys, i know you told us that the material is well made,but you know is always good to see it in real time.

PS: Thanks for the post, i never like the time freezing thingy anyway.

Anonymous said...

Thanks a lot Bruno! Your answer is enough for me but I`m still so excited to hear something about Atlantis!!!!

Anonymous said...

I'm still banking on seeing Atlantis in the comic book. Kratos destroys it there, which is why it's not in God of War III.

Thanks for answering all of our questions you two!
