When it comes toGod of War III, it doesn’t take much to get us excited. With Sony barely revealing the game at E3 with a CG teaser trailer, we’re already drooling all over ourselves not having seen a single frame of the game in action.
But David Jaffe, the designer of the original PlayStation 2 title, has and certainly he liked what he saw. A lot.
“I sawGod of War IIIwhen I was in Santa Monica last week,” he writes onhis blog, “I [can’t] and will not give away details, but I think it’s OK for me to say two things — HOLY HOLY HOLY F**KING HELL!!!!”
He then goes on to say that while he thought that Epic’s Xbox 360 exclusiveGears of War 2was as good as any next-gen game could look,God of War IIIhas proven him wrong. (He also refers toGears of War 2as “the s**t,” which is a more eloquent way of summarizingour own review.)
“This motherf**king game looks like nothing you’ve ever played,” he continues, “and you can hold me to that when this thing hits, when they start showing gameplay footage. It looks like a painting come to life, it’sthatgood looking.”
What’s that we hear in the distance? It’s the hype-train pulling into town, and the conductor is collecting tickets — who’s hopping on?
