God of War III - Epic cinematic

8 (11 ratings)

Kratos is back in typically grand style, fighting the usual selection of epic, mythical and godly foes. There are new weapons here, as well as enemies, but the wow factor remains the same.

I just love how he slains anything, regardless of if they are actually useful to him, like the bird.

Looks good and all, but seriously, what's with the damn bird in the opening seconds? It seems like every fantasy-ish game has to feature a stupid flying and landing bird in its intro.

Warcraft 3, Fable II, Heroes of Might and Magic, and there are undoubtedly many many more. CHEEEEEEEEESE

Now Sony - during the first few weeks of the launch of this game - you want a 30sec - 1 min version of this trailer to be played on TV in each country where you want decent sales, during TV shows with large audiences of 17-40 year olds.

Ideally you'll also show some of the footage containing the game's HUD and a QTE, demonstrating that the footage isn't just an animation / render.

To sell the game further to non gamers, show a normal looking person playing the game in a normal but stylish looking home.

The 'normal' person varies by nation and continent, but it should only cost you £50-£100 to bring a TV extra in from an agency to film 5 mins worth of footage. That is not expensive. Don't only show a home entertainment system with a ridiculously expensive TV. don't only show a rich person's home. This wont help.

There. It's not too hard, and you should also show a PS3 / GoW3 themed bundle box, and this should already be in stores ready to purchase upon the game's release.

My consultancy fee is a very reasonable £0 on this occasion. Another bargain! All of the money can go into paying for the TV / Cinema commercials and billboard / bus posters.

Now run along Sony, and start planning this for whenever the game is finally finished.

Looking good... now as Ryze says if Sony will get their heads out of their arses and advertise this properly, and then bundle it with a 80gb PS3 for £240ish it'll sell like hotcakes

My, my. Isn't he an angry man. Would all be better if he'd just sit down with a nice cup of tea.

I think I'm going to have to go back and play Flower to calm down.

Were those (huge) things at the end Titans? Should probably get around to playing the GoW series at some point.

That was ... amazing. Sadly I can't justify two consoles, so I guess I'll never play it.

Part 2 (God War 2) is bad A33. Even with out Jeffry it has some fantastic epic areas. The story and formula was laid out for them to easily hit it, and yet go further. I still love the first though too.
