God Of War III director Stig Asmussen has revealed that Killzone 2 inspired his team to improve the graphics of Kratos's latest adventure - and that he hopes both games are "talked about in the same way".

Speaking to Official PlayStation Magazine, Asmussen also marked our Uncharted 2 as a title that also 'raised the bar'.

"I think we were really scared about [God Of War 3's] visuals up until E3. When we did our press release back in March, we felt pretty good about it. But then we see games that are raising the bar like Uncharted 2 obviously did, and Killzone 2.

"I think we just need to make something that, you know, people will talk about in the same way. It's a different game, but we'd be happy at that point."

Asmussen was talking as part of a 19-page God Of War spectacular in the latest OPM - which charts the rise of the game from its PS2 beginning to the monster we know and love today.

The mag's God Of War 3 review in the same issue gives the game 9/10.

This game looks like it surpassed Killzone 2 visually so far, can't wait to see the final product. The development team really put a lot into this game, it shouldn't disappoint graphics wise.

wait some hours for gametrailersTV to have a full episode of gameplay.
so no more guessing...

lol hes so modest

All of the directors in the GOW series have ridiculously awesome names (Jaffe being the least unique)

GOW: David Jaffe
GOWII: Cory Barlog
GOWIII: Stig Asmussen

I mean come on, these guys seem like they kick ass just based on their names.

 thats true i wouldnt  want to mess with any of these guys    they sound   like  they can rip any one  in to pieces like what  kratos can do   lol

From what Ive seen, god of war is winning the console graphic race

i still have mu doubts.

Killzone particle's effect,explosions and lightning were insanely good.

I love to be proven wrong though

this^. 

I thought they were going to talk about gameplay and I was going to suggest they look to Mario or something but alas they were whoring graphics again.
