A barrage of information on Sony’s upcoming God of War III has surfaced via a user post on GameFAQs, which claims to have obtained the scoop from an upcoming feature in Game Informer.
Needless to say, this should be taken strictly as a colossal rumor for the time being, with official details on the game embargoed until this Friday following an LA press event last night.
With that out of the way, on with the gossip:
·Unlike God of War 1 and 2 where there are only 15 enemies on screen, there will now be around 50 this time.
·You can ride monsters like the Cyclops and “control”.
·Kratos on the PS2 used 5,000 polygons, now he uses 20,000.
·They made the weapons “better” so it adds more variety. Like with a different weapon, you don’t get just a couple different attacks, but a whole different play style.
·The lion gauntlets are called Cestus.
·Enemy AI’s are a lot smarter. Some of the enemies will be “commanders” and control the other grunts.
·Enemies will look different, even if they’re the same type. Like, even though the skeleton soldiers are in the same category, they will have varied looks, so it’s not like everyone looks the same.
·More boss fights than GoW 1, but less than GoW 2.
·No multiplayer.
·Hades boss fight confirmed.
Stay tuned for more details on God of War III later in the week. Thanks to VG247.com for the heads up.
