God of War 3 Revealed!

By Joan C. Ison

Kratos is back, and he’s bringing chaos!

Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) has unveiled the upcoming third series of the action/adventure PlayStation 3 game, God of War 3.

During SCEA’s press event, CEO Jack Tretton told very little about the forthcoming game, but GoW fans have been restlessly talking on the Internet ever since the announcement. No date was specified so don’t expect the release until at least next year.

In an interview by GT TV, Game Creator David Jaffe did say there would be more innovation with the third series in terms of controller use (as if the previous GoW series didn’t use all the controller buttons already!) and especially in-game play since he admitted the PSP version (God of War: Chains of Olympus) was all messed up.

News aside, there are two bloody rumors will are much anticipated by both God of War fans and the not-really-fans.

The first is, believe it or not, is that God of War may have a movie adaptation because big-time movie producer Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. (MGM) has been making a “passing mention of Brett Ratner (director of movies such as Money Talks, Rush Hour, and The Family Man) to direct the action title,” Joystiq.com reports.

Next one is, Internet gaming sites have been posting rumors that God of War might have an online game version because SCEA has been seeking “an online gameplay programmer.” Does this mean there will a lot of Kratos running around Greece if ever this online multiplayer game pushes through? But no matter how many theories writers and players come up with or how difficult it is to imagine what the outcome of this game will be, one thing is for sure, GAME! is always ready to take on the chaos.

Lastly, from a GoW fan, to those who haven’t tried playing this game, be sure to try out at least any of the God of War franchises just for the rush of doing hack and slash because you are definitely missing out on something in your life. And to the fans, if I may remind you, the gods will put an end to Kratos because God of War is a trilogy. Sadly.
