It seems as though the press got their hands on the final code of God of War III last week. The Internet is consumed by God of War III news and the hype meter is officially through the roof.

One Icelandic site, Game Tíví, mentioned on Facebook that “epic is understatement of the year” for the first fifteen minutes of the game.

Epic = Understatement

There’s still another two and a half weeks left until the game is released but we’ve noticed the same site, in collaboration with Next Gen News, is also giving away early copies of the game. Might be worth a look!

I played the demo and it looked good and all.. but i think Uncharted 2 looked better. The gameplay in the GOW3 demo was okay, but i didnt really feel the "epicness" and/or "awesomeness" that often comes with the reports of this game.

Ill still pick it up though.

the demo was from e3...

sony sucks at releasing demo, they release a completely horrible KZ2 demo, and the demo for GOW 3's old build..

Playing the demo doesn't do the game justice. The epicness comes from the huge scale battles with titans and gods.

Meh the demo of GOW3 wasnt that good, no different from the other 2 which weren't anything special to begin with.

Somehow I get the feeling that the people who say GOW = Epic are the same people who say Bleach main guy, Dragon Ball Z - Goku I think or Naruto main guy = Epic. Too easily impressed IMO.

I mentioned in another thread how SONY made a mistake releasing an old build of the game as a demo...

They made the same mistake with MotorStorm2 aswel. 

The demo may be an old build but I still thought it was super fantastic. I really can't wait to play the full game.

I have no idea who Goku is, but after watching the trailers for GOW III I think 'epic' is an apt description.

The scale of the game looks absolutely huge, and the context - a hero fighting against gods- would certainly lend itself to the definition of the word.

About as epic as SS3 Goku fighting that pink guy who can blow up the world if he wanted to?
