but killzone 2 is only at 1.4 million at the moment!!n i thin k god of war has a good chance of selling 4 million

Bwahahaha! No it doesn't. None of the GoW have touched 4 million.

well the 1st gow sold 3.21 million...and now its a franchise surrounded with a lot of hype so i think theres a good chance!

 

 

I don't know about that.

You've got on one hand:

- God of War 1, Selling 3.21 in 2005 on a system that had a much greater install base. BUT by that stage had already been cracked and pirating was becoming a big issue

On the other you've got:

- God of War 3, in 2009 (hopefully) on a system with a much smaller install base BUT without any pirating, in a generation that has seen most sequels selling less than their last generation brothers.

Tough call really. I'm going to say it'll sell about the same (pirating is a big factor after all).

As for 1080p 60fps? dreaming, unless you want there to be a small number of polygons/textures on screen and extremely small scale areas (given what we saw in GoW2, I hope not). Let's not overhype this number, even if it's from the developer (remember, we've been burned by empty promises before), or else all hell will break loose when the internet is set a light with news that retail copies are only running native 720p and 30fps (still excellent).

One things for sure, as long as they don't mess it up, GoW3 will definitely surpass Killzone 2 for me as an overall package. I've since given up on caring about graphics, given that it now no longer impacts gameplay since we've jumped to HD and the difference between KZ2, Resistance 2, Halo 3 and CoD4 is nothing in that regard. The one thing no one can seem to get right consistently is excellent character models.

I'm pretty sure it'll run in 60fps. It won't be native 1080p, more likely native 720p, but upscaled to 1080i/p.

I know that I will prefer God of War III to Killzone 2. KZ2 may be an excellent game, but a God of War it's not. GoW is probably my favourite series.

i think it will easily surpass the KZ2 sales...the KZ2 sales are good but not nearly impressive.

the thing i always liked about lucasarts was that they would sit and always talk and show stuff about thier new PHYSICS engine and a lot of gameplay and anything you can thing of, but not talk about graphics at all.

pictures and videos do that, why does someone need to say how pretty it looks.

aren't pictures supposed to say a thousands words, so shut the fuck up and let us look at pictures or vids

i doubt we will see anything mind blowing from GOWIII this E3. Think about it.. the game isnt being released till around march 2010 so the game wouldnt be anywhere near finished. June 2009 to march 2010 is a long way to go so im pretty sure we will just see some new footage/gameplay with the graphics been touched up a bit more here and there. Do expect March 2010 graphics during E3 this year.

Development probably began around January 2007 (a bit before God of War II came out). That would mean, in June 2009, it's been under development for two years and five months. There will be 9 months to its release.

There will be quite a bit to show. Some more gameplay, with the Titan feature. Improved graphics. The Cyclops riding. A boss battle, maybe.

Yeah thats what i mean.. its still got until 2010 till release day. So alot of improvements will happen from now until then. Thats why im saying during E3 we will probably see more gameplay and some improved visuals but nothing like what we will see in 2010. So if people judge GOW3 by what we see during E3 then i feel sorry for them when its finished in 2010. Its going to be impressive. Maybe not mind blowing (though i hope it is) but it will impress non the less.
