Sony is loading the hype cannons and preparing for a full assault with God of War III, and who can really blame them? As Kratos gears up for an all-new adventure, Sony product manager Claire Backhouse has sprayed her PR juice in the faces of fans, claiming that God of War III will be a thoroughly unique game for this generation,
“God of War III combines these new technologies with the much loved gameplay elements from the previous games — Puzzle solving, brutal combat and epic set-piece battles,” explains Backhouse. “It also benefits from a deep and involving storyline, steeped in Greek Mythology. This is what makes God of War III unique and sets it apart from other next gen titles.
“I think if you are over 18 and want an amazing single player experience this year then God of War III is a must have.”
God of War III is definitely going to be stupendous, but I do hope Sony doesn’t pretend it’s the second coming of Christ and build it up into something it isn’t. I don’t think anybody expects the game to be genre-defining or some unique slice of innovation. They want violence, boobs and angry Spartans. Put the PR buzzwords in the box and tell us what we really want to know — how much blood is there?
