Rumor: OPM Gives God Of War III A Fall 2009 Launch Date
God of War III'sigh' We're relatively certain that this is nothing more than a mistake (or a bad guess) on OPM's part, but we still have to report on it. The Internet is already going crazy over the scant possibility that such a listing could be true, and it's our job to tell you about it.
Apparently, the European edition of the Official PlayStation Magazine features a full layout of God of War III, and although it may not feature more details than we already know, it does list an estimated release date...and lo and behold, it says Fall 2009. So once again, we're off on a whirlwind rumor tour that will touch every major source, and when it hits home over at SCEA, Sony will more than likely respond with the classic, "no comment." Then, some other official is going to pop up and say we won't see GoWIII any time this year, and it won't hit store shelves until March. We can almost guarantee this is going to happen, but there's still a very small part of us that wants to hope. It's a naive part, but we try to rationalize: we try to look at the situation and say, "well, look at all this gameplay footage we've seen, and check out all the details we already have. How could this game still be a year away?" We've said that more than a few times, but reality always comes along to smack us out of our fantastical reverie.
And it's gonna happen again. But in the meantime, we'll just try to keep a positive outlook and imagine how sweet "God of War III" would look sitting at the top of our holiday wish list.

If I miss my gaming time, I'll have to wait for another year, it's weird but true.

Better yet, do u really wanna do that to yourself and buy a whole bunch of games all at one time? Even if u could afford it, can u afford the time?
Get a PS3 like...ummm...wait for it...now. The exclusives are more spaced out right now. I think the next one is Infamous (June). Perfect time for you to play catch-up. And you'll have time to go back and play games like MGS4, Uncharted, all 4 of Insomniac's Games, the Motorstorms, Warhawk, etc. And thats just the exclusives!
I'm not even mentioning the great multiplat games and the PSN titles.
Just please, Snaaaake, don't smash your console to bring in the new year. You're suppose to play them. No violence, please.

Games that really caught my eyes are Resistance 2, Killzone 2 and inFamous, I played MGS4 on a friend's PS3 before and finished it so I'm not gonna buy one and play again.

Anyway, ruling out games because they are multiplat is doing urself an injustice.
Fallout 3, Bioshock, all the great Capcom games, the CoD's!, Max Payne 3 (well hell any Rockstar game), etc.
You see where I'm going wit this list?

Should they get ahead on development, and wish to tie it in with a console price drop, they would get only praise (assuming it isn't buggy as all hell) and all those extra consoles being sold would help to defeat the oversaturation of software this fall.
Like I said, win-win for sony either way.

A price drop is the only thing Sony needs now.

I called 2010 release date for XIII back in '07. GoWIII is surely in 2010.
But again... nobody knows lol.
