I think it just looks cool.

First person crevice maneuvering in Killzone 3 confirmed? I believe so.

I like the upclose look; you could see all the details that went into Kratos.

Plus, it's better than the way metal gear Solid 3 did it.... climbing a latter for what seemed like 5 minutes :lol

David Jaffe was right all along! :lol
That's because it is a painting. Cronos wasn't just lugging that temple around all the time.

Doesn't that shit look like the GAF logo sometimes?

EDIT: Well, if you squint. Really really hard. And possibly do some pretending.

Just got the UK version and noticed it supports 720p and 1080i, 1080p not mentioned. Does the US version support 1080p?
My game converted to 720p when I loaded it up...is there a way to get 1080p

Why couldn't some of this stuff have been included in the [i]Ultimate[/i] edition?

Because Sony would rather spend their money on the media that promotes their product and leave the cheap stuff for the fans and buying public
 

Ikuu

Had his dog run over by Blizzard's CEO
Sorry if this has been asked, but any UK shops doing any good deals on this? Such as good trade in deals and the like, wasn't going to buy it today but I'm easily tempted.

not sure if serious.

Anyways, just got into the game and my god, this thing starts off like a rocket. And its got such a clean look even though there's so much going on. What kind of AA have they got under the hood?

Yea, in my opinion Jaffe was right.

Isn't that always the case, ugh.

Anyone know where I can get a wallpaper of the image (the 2 eyes) that appears when you highlight the god of war 3 disc on the ps3?

Anyone have any skin codes they want to share or trade? I have the
Morpheus
armor code from 7-11...would like the gamestop and
Apollo
one.

So, what's the general consensus on GoW 3's graphics; are they the best seen to date in any console game?

It's fairly easy to predict what the general consensus would be on GAF. Personally, I'd put GoW3's graphics in the Top 5 this gen. Absolutely stunning.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

To be honest, I don't remember Uncharted 2 ever looking that good.
It does.

is it me? but i still find the Uncharted 2 screen is more impressive out of the 3 . *run*

I think UC2 has better graphics than GOW III overall and had ND made this game it would look even better than it already does.
 
Can anyone give me a list of all the bosses. Someone told me I'm about halfway through the game
I just beat Hercules
and he says the ammount of bosses battles drops significantly, which if true is a tad dissapointing.
 
Ok, shit is just getting stupid now. Everything was going so well with this game and I was completely stunned by its looks, but now I am about ready to give up. There is a very definite point in this game where I feel SSM just decided to stop trying to balance things out and I have spent the last 30 minutes of game time (about 3-4hrs of my time) in an almost constant state of frustration. Very rarely am I faced with situations where I honestly think that I will not be capable of proceeding but this game has been throwing situations at me now where luck has been the only thing that has allowed me to get through.

Also, i absolutely fucking hate constantly being asked if I want to reduce the difficulty in a game just because I die at a point a few times. Ask me once and make it a god damned menu item. Honestly, I feel like that simple question is one of the most condecending elements in many action games. If you are going to make a point in the game obscenely difficult then so be it, but don't patronize me if I happen to stumble at that point. Giving me one more screen and button prompt does not alleviate my frustration.

On another note though, is there a way to stop the boots of Hermes from locking on? As it is they seem almost useless as a dodging tool as the always immediately lock onto the centre of action. Locking onto something that isn't affected by the rush attack tends to only make situations worse.

Lol...the screen makes me want to kill even harder then before...I think it is a win.

I think they both look good, but saying GOW3 would look better had ND made it, is kind of lame.

It's unfortunate the total playing time the game reports doesn't take into account retries. I've just reached
Palace of Hades
and my save is saying it's taken me 2.5 hours to get here. The total time I've spent playing game is somewhere between double and triple that - the first boss
(Poseidon)
alone took me a good 2 hours or so. :lol

I think GoW3's character models look better than UC2's. Especially when you compare Kratos to any from UC2.


Yea, especially att he fact Kratos isn't wearing much. The in-game model of Kratos looks like CG

Artistically, U2 will remain on top for quite some time, the attention given to textures, details and colours is absolutely phenomenal. However, GOWIII does things on a much more impressive scale, with more going on on the screen, a better AA and an even more clever use of lighting and motion blur. So technically, U2, imo of course, has been dethroned.

If the power cuts out will you please go to your electricity provider and yell at the top of your lungs "YOU DENY ME MY REVENGE?"

I have the GS code and haven't used it yet. What does the
Morpheus

Either way, Sony can say "It only does" with these games and no one else can. :D I'm looking forward to the rest of the year to see if these games will get topped over. 2010 is awesome!

If that were to happen, I'd take that as a sign of the final boss really pissed off. 4D confirmed!

Are you playing on Titan, or Chaos?

I agree with your point though...it annoys me too to get asked over and over. Especially if my death right before being asked was something really stupid on my part, like accidentally jumping or rolling off an edge. :lol

[b]Fuck You Sony[/b]. You mean really I couldn't get some of this stuff in my Ultimate edition?? Also how hard was it to give us a wooden box?
edit: I just realize carving a wooden box to look like Pandora's would not not have been feasible.

It uses Morphological AA (MLAA), done via the SPUs. It's practically bullshot-quality AA and less resource-intensive than even 2xMSAA (when spread across multiple SPUs, anyway, as SSM have done).
