Looks just as brutally violent and fun as the first game. http://youtube.com/watch?v=jEj5_vNBz0c
Video contains a fairly major spoiler for the ending of the first game.
anyway i didn't find the first part all too outstanding. the control scheme felt overly complicated at times and basically this is just a nice 3d remake of some of the more memorable 2d platform games from the 16 bit homecomputer/console era. well done but nothing new and exciting to me. my interest ran out mid-game.
I think I'm the only one who doesn't like God of War at all.
I'd rather play Devil May Cry, which has more visual flare (and is probably THE game that started the whole stylish 3d action sub-genre), or Onimusha.
I Love God of war... LOVE IT!! but In this months game informer there are a few close up screenshots of Kratos, and.. well you think they could update the model a bit. It looks like crap. actually all the character textures are quite muddy. But the environments and animations are tops.

Yes, Quoted for agreement!! While I like God of war and it was a fun 6 hours, Devil May Cry 3 and Ninja Giaden Are excellent games that I feel aren't getting there due respect in the mainstream.
Ninja Gaiden was amazing, but simply too damn hard. There's absolutely no forgiveness in it's difficulty level.
I got to a part that was making me struggle for months, so I just traded it in, instead.
I LOVE God of War, though. I think the puzzles are hard but manageable, the graphical look is amazing, and the combat is insanely fun. I really cannot wait until GoW2 comes out. Should be intense.
well i played devil may cry 1. and ugh, well. i'm not into trash movies nor am i into trash games presentation was rather awful. will check out ninja gaiden and onimusha instantly. never played those.
i think the god of war character models were actually pretty cool. nothing wrong with low-res. especially those two chicks in bed were nicely done. there's a portfolio out there showcasing many of those characters but i can't remember the artists name. louis....?

Well, it is coming out on PS2 so I'm not sure if they could do much more to improve that. Maybe when we get GoW 3 on the PS3 though
That was some great footage, nice and brutal. I finally picked up God of War this past weekend, I had been resisting because it didn't look that appealing to me, but all the game of the Year awards couldn't be totally wrong and it was $20 sooooo maybe I'll be excited for the sequel after giving this game the run-through.

Those werent all in game models. Pluse I heard throught the grapevine that a Less-talented Senior artist claimed Dibs on the Kratos in-game model, over much more talented artists with less time at the studio.

Ninja gaiden was the shit! I've beaten normal ninja gaiden on very hard, and ninja gaiden black on hard (can't even get to the first save point in very hard on NG:B). It just doesn't hold your hand at all, but once you learn ryu's arsenal of moves you become a powerhouse of death and destruction. Yea I like ninja gaiden a lot.
I liked God of War too, I mean, how many games start you off commiting suicide. Looking forward to the sequel, I just hope they tone down all the crappy platforming.
