Yeah, better believe it. Someone’s claiming they’ve been able to get a copy of the magazine already and leaked the info of Game Informer’s 8-page feature on GoW3! Here’s the full runthrough:
- Unlike God of War 1 and #@%!3
4#@%!! where there are only 15 enemies on screen, there will now be around 50 this time. - You can ride monsters like the Cyclops and “control”.
- Kratos on the PS2 used 5,000 polygons, now he uses 20,000.
- They made the weapons “better” so it adds more variety. Like with a different weapon, you don’t get just a couple different attacks, but a whole different play style.
- The lion gauntlets are called Cestus.
- Enemy AI’s are a lot smarter. Some of the enemies will be “commanders” and control the other grunts.
- Enemies will look different, even if they’re the same type. Like, even though the skeleton soldiers are in the same category, they will have varied looks, so it’s not like everyone looks the same.
- More boss fights than GoW 1, but less than GoW 2.
- No multiplayer.
- Hades boss fight confirmed.
Real? Fake? Well, they do sound pretty… reasonable. We’ll have to wait until the Game Informer mag comes out to confirm this though. Or maybe even sooner, by the time Sony’s press releases roll out on Friday!
