God, that screen is huge, I think Sony at least wins the biggest screen at E3 award.
Also, I want this game really badly, at least it's coming out in less than a year, I suppose. :(

Despite the fact that I have yet to beat Chains of Olympus or even purchase God of War II, I am very excited by that trailer.
Wow, easily the most brutal graphic fights ever seen in a game. Kinda a shame to see them executed with QTEs though.
HOLY FUCKING FUCK!!! HE GUTTED THAT CENTAUR THING LIKE A FUCKING FISH!!!
AND THEN...AND THEN...HE RIPPED THAT OTHER THING'S HORN OFF AND STABBED IT RIGHT IN IT'S FUCKING FACE!!! OMFG!!! SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!!1!
Yes, this game looks quite to my liking. I may have to purchase it I believe.
...also, Titan :O

Everyone already said what I thought about GOW:III.

I don't feel like spending another 10 hours pressing square, square, triangle.
I think Sony Santa Monica missed the point of "more of the same". See, when people say they want more of the same they mean they want more of the same feeling. They don't literally mean they want you to repackage the game you already made with a few new enemies and sell it again for 50$.
Don't give me any shit about that Square, Square, Triangle bit. A good beat-em-up gives you a lot of attacks and a reason to use them. God of War couldn't get past the first one. The gameplay quickly became repetitive (did any of you honestly use the extra weapons? What about the magic? Basically Poseider/Army of Hades for the first game and Kronos/Atlas for the second.).
The story isn't much to speak off either. The first games story is fantastic. It's a revenge story done right with a tragic protagonist (just because he isn't nice doesn't make it any less tragic) and a badass villain.
The second (and it looks like) third game couldn't come up with an honest reason for Kratos to be angry other than... Um, actually they couldn't come up with a reason. He was just bored and decided to rage against the people until Zeus stopped him. He got pissed at Zeus for stopping his tantrum so he socked causality in the stomack until he won (if by winning you mean Zeus got away anyway and Kratos accidentally killed his only ally).
Seriously, if they weren't going to advance the gameplay or story then they should have left well enough alone. The first game ended perfectly with Kratos as the new God of War. At the least the sequels should have starred a new spartan trying to do something (what do I look like, a writer? Look at that shit up there. That's terrible writing) and having him meet the gods along the way (admit it. If the sequels starred a new guy and you got to the point where you met Kratos and he gave you a kickass power or weapon (Blades of Chaos) you would have personally acid-washed your pants).
Oh, well. I'll always remember the first one as a brilliantly different game (even if my strategy worked there too) and Sony "promised" that this would be the last one to feature Kratos.
P.S. Seriously, doesn't that video look like a youtube playthrough of God of War II?

I wanted to see what he would have done to that giant fire golem. My money was on him ripping it's scrotum off and shoving it so far up its ass that it would choke on it.
Regardless of whether or not this is a lackluster continuation of a tired storyline, if here is no variety in gameplay, if it literally IS 'more of the same,' it looks like it offers a lot of mindless, mythical ultraviolence and I'm all about that :)
Where the hell is EternalDeathSlayer...
I like the style direction with the enemies.
I agree with he above poster about fish guts.
(( That was the ONE solitary promise SONY made that i made sure was kept. Now it's a day one purchase!!! ))
If you were watching Adam & Kevin... They wet their pants like children as soon as the demo was in the both.

I was surprised to see that Sony didn't just make SHT the focus of that video. What's with all these other, non-SHT'd monsters to kill?
What a gorgeous game. This is my second fav VG series of all time. So my anticipation for this game is very very high!
I might get gutted like that centaur for saying this, but I never really "got" these games. I mean, I LOVE the gratuitous violence and the dramatic scenery and bosses, but the gameplay itself... it's just so goddamn repetitive.
the centaur thing is fucking brilliant :-)
day one buy for me :-)
I just love playing those games, they're not too hard and look absolutely amazing to 'innocent' bystanders :-) Plus they're just brutal fun :-)

Meh...
Kidding. It looks pretty awesome.
Though I have to say, the running animations of the bad guys is attrocious.

@Togail: You're got me there. KRATOS did stick the chimera's horn into its face. I'm pretty sure what the PLAYER did was hit square square triangle a couple times then go through a quick-time event.
If I want to see flashy action I can pop in a movie like 300 or Shoot-Em-Up. If I actually want to perform it I can play Devil May Cry.

Fistful: Granted, you can assuredly do that. I will be picking this up because I have never minded QTEs, I actually like them. It's not the same as tearing ass on an enemy yourself, but it's still just as satisfying to watch, at least for me. I can also appreciate that Kratos does much less talking and much more killing. Dante got stale about four games ago.
not 2 ruin it 4 ppl who hasnt seen the extended 1 on x-play on the G4 channel but theres more! my fav parts n the extended version is wen he rips out the cyclopes eyeball! and rips off the gods head from the demo! and wat a great way 2 leave us hanging just b4 krato beats the titan! so makes me wunna buy this thats it im getting a ps3 now! (and i thought wii was all that....... pretty much the only good game is madworld on the wii nintendo u let me down on the gaming side who cares about family fun play wen u can locked up n ur room 4 hrs playing an addicting game!)
