It didn&#8217;t strike me as a massive leap forward for the series&#8211;the dark-as-pitch tone and gloriously brutal gameplay remains front and center&#8211;but an improved camera, far grander scale and impressive lighting look to go a long way in enhancing the unrelenting action,&rdquo; said Greg Mueller of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shacknews.com\/onearticle.x\/58997\" target=\"_self\">Shacknews<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A few God of War III details have however been leaked over the past few months leading up to E3. <br \/>Unconfirmed leaked GOW3 details<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Kratos will begin the game already in possession of many abilities that required unlocking in previous titles.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Where GoW2&rsquo;s Kratos was made up of 5,000 polygons, the third instalment will see the hulking brute rendered using 20,000.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; New weapons will be available, deviating from the awesome yet admittedly tiring &#8220;Blades of Chaos&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Where GoW 2 was limited to 15 enemies on screen at a given time, GoW 3 will have as many as 50.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Kratos will be able to control certain monsters, the Cyclops being the example given, in a sort of vehicular fashion<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Enemies have wisened up and will now coordinate their attacks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Kratos&rsquo;s new power source comes from somewhere other than the Gods, now that they aren&rsquo;t exactly seeing eye to eye.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Titans will play a more upfront roll this time, as opposed to simply providing players with cool background setpieces to look at.<\/p>\n<p>In other God of War news, Kratos has been confirmed to appear as a playable character in the upcoming Soul Calibur for PSP.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php?t=1433\" target=\"_self\">Discuss God of War 3 <\/a>in the forums<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kratos\u2019 next epic quest kicks off in less than a year<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11681],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3959","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-playstation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3959","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3959"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3959\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
