Firstly, the magazine dispelled any rumors that the third in the series will contain a multiplayer element.
Additional tid-bits
– Kratos will begin the game already in possession of many abilities that required unlocking in previous titles.
– The third in the series will not be the final God of War (GoW) game, but it will act as a sort of resolution to the trilogy.
– Where GoW2’s Kratos was made up of 5000 polygons, the third instalment will see the hulking brute rendered using 20,000.
– New weapons will be available, deviating from the awesome yet admittedly tiring “Blades of Chaos”.
– Where GoW 2 was limited to 15 enemies on screen at a given time, GoW3 will have as many as 50.
– Kratos will be able to control certain monsters, the Cyclops being the example given, in a sort of vehicular fashion
– Enemies have wisened up and will now coordinate their attacks.
– Kratos’s new power source comes from somewhere other than the Gods, now that they aren’t exactly seeing eye to eye.
– Titans will play a more upfront roll this time, as opposed to simply providing players with cool background setpieces to look at.
We are taking this information with a hefty pinch of salt, as the final release is a long way off, with no confirmed arrival time. However, given Game Informer’s reputation for reliability in such matters, we are inclined to believe that there is likely to be some truth to the claims.
