i thinki of it as his feet kick so hard down it compressed the molecules in the air so dramatically that it becomes a solid surface.

In DMC1, Dante creates a demon platform out of thin air and uses it as a boosting off point. Bayonetta has angel wings. I always thought the jumping in GoW looked goofy. That was my very first impression of GoW1 when it released.

I think it's kind of different. They call it a triple jump because he hits the ground three times, every time gaining more impulse, like a gymnast.

I would have never imagined that Mario is more realistic than GOW...

lol

what a failure of a troll.

Samus does a flip making the second jump look realistic.

looks okay to me....

since when games are supposed to be realistic anyway... LOL

My two gripes with his animation would be:

a) the double jump, but then I've never really liked this mechanic in general

b) his walking animation - which is basically his running animation... but slower (although I guess you could argue Kratos simply doesn't do gentle strolls)

Overall the animation in GoW and GoW3 in particular is great - but those two aspects of Kratos have always been a little "off" in my view.

So I agree.

Yeah, I agree...

the series' awesomeness has made me not see this.

God of War....I still can't believe it has ended.. Yeah, there are prequels and all, but there probably won't be any progress after GoW III's ending.
