God of War III demo on PSN

... though only with a promotional code. Check your e-mails!

I'll be adding to this post once I've had a play with it.

So they just sent the code out to random people?

I guess so. I got one though. Which was nice.

Sly got one, it has to be random.

...I don't think I got one. >_> Typical.

unless this is something bigger and better u doubt i'll play it

My internet for my PS3 isn't working so I can't check even if I wanted to.

Alright, finally played it.

Graphically it's alright; the character models and textures are impressive enough, the QTE death events are even more graphic now (disembowel a centaur and you literally watch his guts fall out of him, and when you rip out a Cylcops' eye, you can see the optic nerve still attached and hanging from the eyeball) and the scale is very much what we've come to expect, in that the backgrounds are just as busy and entertaining as what ever's going on in the foreground. The frame rate is a bit choppy though, and it's not the change to HD that makes the biggest difference, that honour goes to the lighting; everything is very dark, and this means that every attack you do with the Blades of Chaos lights up the stage. It's an impressive sight initially, though it's wearing thin after a few minutes.

Gameplay wise, little seems to have changed. I was playing PSP's Chains of Olympus just yesterday, and you could easily interchange them for the most part. Sure, GoWIII is on a grander scale, but then it bloody well should be on the PS3.

Honestly, I found it a little underwhelming.

God of War not changing up the gameplay?

Color me surprised.

I just got one of these emails.

Anyone here want it? I have no real interest in the GoW series.

Sure

Dammit, Bob. DX

You didn't get one either?

no

Huh, it seems the code is non-transferable. Oh well, I'll give it a try then.

...

2 and a half fucking gb?! Jesus, this'll take a while.

It's worth it, fantastic demo.

I'll just get God of War 2 in 1 special thingy then. ...Like I said earlier, It's supposed to come with a code.

Right, paused it at 14% last night. Let's start it up again.

i hate these stupidly large demos

last one i downloaded was that ratchet and clank

both demos in all took up over 5 gig

Right, 50% done. Paused again for the night.

It was very bleh.

i really wasn't expedcting anything

I liked it.

The demo is up on the store now.
