Sony's E3 press conference #3

Continuing from last blog - 

We all remember the God of war ascension announcement trailer, As you watched the annoucement trailer you got the sense that it was going to be a Prequel to God of war Chains of olmypus for the Playstation portable. The order of which the games go is

God of war: Chains of Olmypus - PSP

God of war 1 -PS2
God of war: Ghost of sparta -PSP

God of war 2 - PS2

God of war 3 - PS3

The story line in chains of omlypus was before kratos got his anger and hatred towards the God of war (Ares) The story was how ares planned to exploit Kratos for what he was to his family and As kratos found out that ares was manipuative and ares only wanted kratos for certain reasons that i can't say otherwise it would include spoilers. Well God of war ascension is going to be a prequel to God of war chains of olmypus and i didn't quite understand how the game would play because after all kratos wasn't always full of rage and he never had any vengence towards any of the gods, so i wouldn't really know how the game would play out as there would be no rage involved. What i've seen today from the E3 trailer is entirally different of what i saw in my head. It looks like santa monica studio haven't changed anything at all and kept to the same formula that works. There were some new elements that i've never seen in the God of war franchise and This is prince of persia style reversing time gaming mechanic, It's sort of like the medusa head where you shine the torch or whatever you use to reverse time at an object and it will reverse it's destruction but while keeping the rest of the world in full motion. you can climb ladders and frames whilst it's in mid time.

Remember what naughty dog have brought to the market, like crash bandicoot, Jak and daxter and you can't forget the Massive and well recieved Naughty dog franchise and these franchises have been massivley loved from the critics and the public. Well naughty dog have done it again with their new IP called the last of us.

This portrays a father and daughter trying to survive in a post acoptic city landspace that's been over ran by gangs and it's up to the father and daughter to survive the city and get the place that they needed to go.

One of the things that i really didn't like about the trailer that they were looking round too much at the graphics and not concentrating on getting to the action where it mattered. I'm not saying it looked very nice. i'm saying it looks visually stunning, all the textures and all the polygons are presented in a realistic manner and a few moments that you could actually consider as real life graphics and that's not an exxageration, i was watching the conference in 480p and it still looked amazing.
