Jaffe On GoWIII: "Simply Staggering"
God of War IIIWe have to assume that the original creator for a franchise would also be a sequel's biggest critic. But David Jaffe has had nothing but good things to say about God of War III, and now that he's had a chance to play it, that high praise continues.
He posted an update over at his Criminal Crackdown blog, where he talks about the combined intrigue of playing an amazing title and knowing he was the brains behind the initial concept. He says, "for the first time, I can actually see how the game/God of War formula feels to a normal player!" He labels this as a great "learning opportunity" and heaps some very high praise on the SCEA Santa Monica team responsible for producing this definite masterpiece. Wrote Jaffe:
"...I really don't think there has EVER been a game that has executed at this level! Presentation and production wise, this is a crazy ass bar raising simply staggering game! And the execution of the story telling process? Fu**ing fantastic (amazing opening credits)! Amazing job all around!"
You'll see our review very soon and although we don't wish to spoil anything, we will say we're likely to agree with Jaffe's analysis. Then again, for fans of the franchise and for those who have been following all the GoWIII updates for the past year or so, this likely won't come as any big shock. In some ways, we're sad that we won't be seeing the GoW name for quite some time - SCEA says they plan to "put it to bed for a while" - but in other ways, what a way to finish a trilogy! Gotta go out with a bang, you know?

I gotta tell you, if GOWIII is as good as the first two, with the level of intensity ps3 technology allows, GOWIII might turn out to be the game of the year.
ONLY GT5 stands a chance imo
These guys just get it done right
Great fighting scenes, scenarios, plots, puzzles, weapons, characters, animation...
It's really everything that you love 'bout v-games put into one game*
Can't wait!
PS: Love my ps2 versions of the first 2 games ;P

I definitely agree that Mass Effect 2 is in the running for GOTY simply because I've finished the game 3 times now, each experience was a little different from the last and I would love to start a new game, but gotta make time for both FFXIII and GOWIII. Hopefully, I get that same feeling from God Of War III.

Can't wait to read your reviews and especially the great hoopla the game will cause on this site come the ides of March.
I will certainly be getting GOWIII, but as someone who lives and breaths RPGs I will probably still be working on WKC and FFXIII when it releases, and oh crap Resonance of Fate comes out on the same day! Can't they space out all these great games a little? I feel broke and spoiled, but mostly broke :)

If we switch Kratos with epic then you will start seeing these two words together.....
KRATOS FAIL!!!
That just cannot happen. Those two words are an oxymoron. I won't do it, sorry.

@XxNoir, I 2nd that, the not buying 13 and waiting for Versus.
11 days to go for meh, waiting starts to get more annoying everyday... and another great thing is that the game comes out the week before I have a test week at school, so that'll be trying to study while playing GoWIII...
