Cruzader said:Are you sure? That makes the whole package less interesting. Only the thin going on for me is the Arena DLC. I can live without all the other crap but now Im wondering, will it be rare? (Hearing ppls cant find the UE to preorder)
Honestly, Id rather spend the extra $40 on Yakuza 3 or BC2 or something.

Mooreberg said:I am playing Chains of Olympus right now (perpetually behind on PSP games) and the scale for it is pretty amazing for a handheld title. Really cannot wait to see what God of War 3 does with the PS3. I can understand the point made about it being more of the same in the 9/10 review but this is one of those franchises where what they have already works so damn well I am glad nothing drastic was changed just for the sake of innovation. This is my favorite franchise that has been introduced since 2005.
Yup, why is it that all of the graphically amazing PS3 games don't have installs? Killzone 2, Uncharted 2, now GoW3. Is it a sort of secret rub it in your face thing to other devs?Kagari said:No install, huh. Awesome. Yay for optimization!

Too awesome either way. I will get the general consensus on gaf to see if watching the new videos is too spoilerific. I doubt I will be able to resist if a new screen is posted though..

Infamous has a 1 gig install. But it's very quick.Dogenzaka said:Seems to be a first-party thing or exclusive-thing (not including MGS4). I don't think InFAMOUS or LittleBigPlanet had installs either.

IAMBEEFLESS said:I think a problem with the game industry is being able to distinguish between when innovation is needed versus when it isn't needed. Why the fuck would Santa Monica change something that works so well? The foundation was laid and all they needed to do was build on it and they did.
chris0701 said:Uncharted 2 needs 1GB hard disk too.
The box art was a lie. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will not require the 1.7 GB installation that the box says it will. Speaking via Twitter, Naughty Dog co-president Christophe Balestra informed fans that, Uncharted 2 does not require any install.
If I recall correctly, it actually does cache ~1gb. It just doesn't install any data.DeadGzuz said:http://www.destructoid.com/uncharted-2-won-t-require-an-installation-141773.phtml
It might use some cache, but not 1GB.

Yes but on the flip side, KZ2 had the most horrible pause loading at random moments, and U2 took 5 sandwiches to load.Sentry said:Yup, why is it that all of the graphically amazing PS3 games don't have installs?

pseudocaesar said:Yeh I remember when I picked up GOW. I bought it on an impulse, I had never heard of it, as at the time I never went on gaming forums or looked up gaming news online etc. Best impulse buy of my life, as it turned out to be one of the best games I've ever played.

Combichristoffersen said:Yeah, I bought GoW 1 shortly after I first got my PS2 (didn't get one until 2007), as I'd heard it was supposedly pretty good. My jaw hit the floor when I first popped it in, started playing and saw the amazing graphics, and then suddenly HOLY SHIT WHAT'S THAT GIANT MONSTER OH FUCK! I remember texting one of my friends, saying something like 'dude, you're gonna love this new game I bought, most epic shit I've ever played' :lol
- wrong, KZ2 loading pauses were horrible.Lince said:- wrong, KZ2 loads in corridors between set-pieces, nothing "random" nor horrible, 1-2 secs though.
- U2 takes 3 sandwiches to load if you want to play an specific chapter (caching to the HDD first), if you play a new game from the start watching every cut-scene you'll never notice loading.
After a patch.pseudocaesar said:- wrong, KZ2 loading pauses were horrible.

UnluckyKate said:So I was wondering, if this is the last installement of Kratos, but not the last God of War game...
What direction can Santa Monica take ? Kratos murdered half of the greek and roman mythology already and I guess he's planning to finish the job in GoW III...
So I had this idea: God of War: Nordic mythology. It's already a very brutal and violent scenery. Just imagine how bad ass it would be to beat up beared gods with a beared warrior, hanging Thor's Hammer or something...
I guess that would make a good game. Especially if they look at what Brutal Legend made in terms of world and location (rock world based on northern mythology).
ALso, going through Egypt could be epic, even if the setting might be a bit close the the greek mythology...

dark10x said:Has anyone touched on the performance of the game? The framerate in the demo was less than optimal and I'm hoping they've cleaned it up for the final release. Either lock it at 30 fps with motion blur or aim for 60 fps (I doubt they hit that, however).
jsnepo said:I hope this gets answered soon. Even with the great visuals this game will have, I will still be disappointed if it doesn't run at 60 fps.
Shurs said:Prepare to be disappointed. The developers have already said the game will run at a variable frame rate. I don't care either way. I wouldn't mind a locked 30 fps.

rhino4evr said:I think uncharted 2 proved that you don't need 60 fps to wow your eyeballs
jett said:Was it? Last time I played KZ2 the loading pauses were still messed up.
There's always been pauses, but after a firmware update they got longer and weird(sometimes it seems like the game has hung up). I guess it's out of GG's hands, as they have nothing to do with the FW. It's nothing really bad, just kind of a blemish on the game's presentation.
The GOW3 demo also got fucked by a FW update(same deal, pauses and stutters). The team that does that stuff needs to be more careful.
Shurs said:I can't speak for the God Of War demo, but the loading pauses are certainly still in Killzone 2's single player campaign.
Shurs said:You're wrong. I started a new single player campaign last night and the pauses are still there.
Melchiah said:Weird. I just played the GoWIII demo through for the third time last week, and noticed nothing out of the ordinary. The same goes for KZ2, which I played the last time, I think about a month ago.
Lince said:and will always be :lol
we're discussing whether they're "horrible" or just quick pauses, please read before posting, it helps.
Shurs said:It's certainly not game breaking, but it is very jarring, especially when the game is aiming for an immersive experience.

rhino4evr said:I think uncharted 2 proved that you don't need 60 fps to wow your eyeballs
the whole 60 or not 60fps arguement is retarded to me
TONX said:That's on par with all the other GOW games, so this is fine by me. Just no tearing.
