GOW III " teaser" in Chains of Olympus - Mar 02, 2008 13:23
Link


Perhaps you read today' s blog post by 1UP Network editor Matt Leone, but if you haven' t, here' s the skinny: We received the final boxed version of God of War: Chains of Olympus for PSP this morning. And on the back of the manual? A teaser image for God of War III for the PlayStation 3.

The tease is almost exactly the same as the one featured on the back of the manual for God of War II, which originally confirmed that a God of War game was in the works for the PSP. The only difference this time is there' s no hint at a release date -- only the words " Coming Soon" with a PS3 logo, as opposed to the slightly more specific (and eventually incorrect) " Coming 2007" featured on the God of War II manual.

Of course, we already knew God of War III was in the works for the PlayStation 3. Hopefully with this far more overt tease, though, it means more details on the game will soon follow as well.


Sure it might just be an advertisement that means coming soon, but its a confirmation none the less. Too bad they didnt say a relatively specific date. There should be a real teaser video soon. Looks like I' ll be getting a PS3 sooner than I thought.

at least gears of war and god of war aren' t on the same numbers

Who' s in charge of the game this time?

By the way, those acronyms have confused me before. First God of War was GOW. Then Gears of War came out and all of a sudden that game got the acronym. Which got kind of confusing on some forums :P

Its easy to tell the difference now because Gears of War is on its second game and God of War is on its third game.

Ready at Dawn. The same people that made the Daxter game and are handling Okami on the Wii.

I personally just try to call it Gears and ignore the acronym. Everyone knows what you mean when you say " Gears" .

I have found that many people refer to Gears as GoW and God of war as - GOW.

I can' t wait for God of War 3, but I' m not expecting it this year, more like March 09.

More likely a fall release for God of War III in 2009. This is a system seller, so it would make more sense to release during the Holiday Season.
Most wanted games:

Mass Effect
Assasins Creed
Crysis
Little Big Planet
Drakes Fortune
UTIII
Kane and Lynch
Heavy Rain
Alan Wake

What I mean is that I believe that is the soonest we could see it. Though just as you said, releasing it as a fall 09 game with an undoubtedly much much cheaper ps3 would sell a ton of units.

Really?? You don' t think that this is a game that would be best suited for a fall Holiday release? I' m just thinking in terms of the time of year, and the fact that this game WILL be a system seller.

God of War 2 came out in March and that did pretty well on that date.

I understand that completely. I guess I should have said " I think that it would be best for them to release the game during the Holiday Season, because I believe that it would benefit both parties in terms of game and console sales" .
