An avid forum dweller at GameFAQs has listed a few summary points from Game Informer’s preview for God of War III, where there’s ”like 8 pages on it.”
Apparently we can enjoy tons more enemies on screen, 15,000 more polygons, cool gauntlets called ‘Cestus’, smarter and less cloned scumbag opponents and more…
Here’s the summary list courtesy of GameFAQ’s Freakwave003, who has a ‘Legend’ board user level so, he’s like, Jesus or something:
- Unlike God of War 1 and 2 where there are only 15 enemies on screen, there will now be around 50 this time.
-
You can ride monsters like the Cyclops and “control”.
-
Kratos on the PS2 used 5,000 polygons, now he uses 20,000.
-
They made the weapons “better” so it adds more variety. Like with a different weapon, you don’t get just a couple different attacks, but a whole different play style.
-
The lion gauntlets are called Cestus.
-
Enemy AI’s are a lot smarter. Some of the enemies will be “commanders” and control the other grunts.
-
Enemies will look different, even if they’re the same type. Like, even though the skeleton soldiers are in the same category, they will have varied looks, so it’s not like everyone looks the same.
-
More boss fights than GoW 1, but less than GoW 2.
-
No multiplayer.
-
Hades boss fight confirmed.
