As you know that there are "God Of War" games released before this one. This is the fourth installment of "God Of War" series (God Of War; Chain Of Olympus, God Of War, God Of War; Betrayal and God Of War II)". The game was announced in 2008 and was due to release in 2010. Its right that releasing God of War III in 2010 was a major setback for most PS3 owners, but the reason is that Sony’s 2009 fiscal year ends on March 31, 2009 plus the previous God of War games have all made their debut in March.
Features:
Though Kratos wound up wielding the Blades of Olympus in God of War II, screenshots and videos make it seem that he's once again in control of the Blades of Chaos in God of War III. We also know that you'll be able to find the Cestus, which are essentially huge gauntlets with lion heads where the fists would be. This weapon causes concussive, radial damage that can wound more than one enemy at a time.
Following are some latest screenshots of Kratos taken from sonyinsider.
The one other weapon that we know about is the fire bow, which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. One cool bit about this is that fire can actually spread from enemy to enemy, so the bow can be used as a nice area effect weapon if things work out well for you.
Gameplay:
God of War III has been announced to have gameplay similar to that of previous installmenst. Till now only two weapons have been confirmed: the trademark Blades of Athena, and the Cestus; pair of fist gauntlets shaped like lion heads. These new weapon can smash through solid objects such as rocks. The Golden Fleece appears on Kratos' arm.
However, according to developers, more weapons will be announced which would be more easy to use than the previous titles. Combos from previous titles will also be added as well as new combos.
In a recent screenshot Kratos is tearing off the head of the God Helios. In the game his head can be used in a similar way as those of Medusa and Euryale in previous games.
Story:
The story of God of War III continues right from where God of War II left off with Kratos riding on the back of Gaia and heading up Mount Olympus to take on the gods directly. Kratos' actions toward the end of God of War II have reignited the war between the gods and the Titans, and their battles will play a major part in the story.
While most other details surrounding the story are being kept secret for the time being, its told that God of War III will delve into Kratos' thinking and expand upon his character. Sony Santa Monica, the developer behind the franchise, is aiming to provide good reason for what Kratos is doing and has done in the past, rather than just having him be presented as a mindless killing machine.
