David Jeffe is a man I feel I could like, dignified and smart when he needs to be, but blunt as a sledgehammer when he's passionate about something. In this case the cancellation of the Philadelphian Video Game Expo in without any notice, despite him meant to be making an appearance via Skype. And God of War 3, which he says he has seen and its graphics top absolutely anything he has ever seen, even Gears of War 2, which he is a big fan of apparently.

ps. I saw GOD OF WAR III when I was in Santa Monica last week. I can and will not give away details. But I think it's ok for me to say two things:

a- HOLY HOLY HOLY *bleep*ING HELL!!!!
b- I thought GEARS OF WARS 2 looked about as good as a next-gen game could look....and that game is currently- and will probably remain- my game of the year. And hell, I think I actually get to vote on that kind of stuff in some circles :) And unless I get blown away by POP or something else I missed, GEARS 2 is the SHIT....this year. Dudes and dudettes, *bleep*ing WAIT till you see the amazing graphics...just *bleep*ing wait. And yes, Xbots, accuse me all you want of being a Sony fanboy. Just remember two things:

#1- I just said GEARS 2 is the BEST *bleep*ing playing and looking game of the year....better than any PS3 game. And there are some damn good PS3 games, I feel.

#2- *bleep* YOU! I ain't no fan boy but this mother *bleep*ing game looks like nothing you've ever played...and you can hold me to that when this thing hits and when they start showing gameplay footage. It looks like a painting come to life- it's THAT good looking.

    So, in a sentence, God of War 3> Gears of War 3> All other PS3 games?

      Hmm, sounds like what he was saying, but I still think MGS4 is stunning, LBP is gorgeous, Wipeout is beautiful and Valkyria Chronicles has graphics that look like artwork come to life.

      Granted Gears 2 is probably the best looking game on the 360 right now, but I still think many PS3 releases will give it a run for its money.

    this is why i purchased a ps3 back in the summer of 2007. God of War 1 and 2 were amazing. God of War 3 in my mind is a bigger system seller than MGS4, and that is one of the greatest games i have ever played. I cannot wait till GOW3 is released.

      Street, not just in your mind. I am a MGS fanboy and Kojima worshipper (I actually begged him in an interview to do a Policenaughts 2 for the PS3 with the original translated and included on the bluray)... that said... GoW3 will be a bigger system seller than MGS4. Guaranteed...

        Doubt it but that remains to be seen.

          Sub, seriously I wonder about you. You make these erroneous statements like "Im skeptical of God of War cause there's a new developer or man in charge of the game" and it tells me you really don't know anything about God of War or played any. God of War games have all had, all 4(yes the cell phone game) different people in charge of the game and it being fantastic. God of War 2 with Cory Barlog is testament of how epic that game was over the first.

          Even CoO was a kickass epic game for PSP. It was everything I expected. God of War 3, with Jaffe overlooking the development and him writing the script for his game, is known that god of War has never disappointed. They both greatly improve and pushes the limits of the console.

          To sit here and say I doubt GoW3 will be bigger system selling then MGS4 is just crazy. Sorry, I just can't take your posts about God of War seriously.

          Anyway this coming from David is music to my ears. I can't wait for God of War 3 which will push the limits and show what God of War 3 with Blu-ray is capable of. Its going to be a monster hit.

          Not to sound like a fanboy here, but I kinda agree with Red. But there's no doubt Gears 2 looks very beautiful.

          You get thumbsies up for giving a very good point. Even if you don't like God of War, there's no doubt it will be epic.

        Ehh, no, I don't think that at all. I am a much bigger fan of MGS than of God of War.

    Oh come on, as if Gears 2 looks better than Uncharted and plays better than MGS4...LOL don't quote me on that, though.

      Yeah Uncharted remains as one of the best looking games I've seen.

        Not to say Gears 2 isn't beautiful, 'cause it is. Jaffe is free to enjoy whatever he wants. So we won't delve into the whole "it's just opinions" deal that has degraded so many threads in the past.

        That being said; in Uncharted, there was nary a pixel to be seen anywhere, coupled with fluid animations and water effects, I'd say Gears 2 and Uncarted are both at a level few others have reached.

        Of course, only until Killzone 2 arrives. That's undebatable.

    Just to touch more on God of War, I think having different people in charge of the next game brings a new feel and gives off that you're playing a brand new game. I mean if the same man looking after the next as it was the first, you're kinda going to know how it may end up. But having different people in charge of the next game while keeping the script and gameplay, it adds to the "Wow I am really playing a different new game". Not difference as in going away from what the game series has done, just the little things like Art creation, or Music, and added abilities within the gameplay. It brings a fresh new look with the game and giving an excitement of anticipating the new game. The storyline isn't different since Jaffe wrote the script before releasing the first game iirc.

    Idk I just think having a new guy over looking the next game brings in a new personal style and vision of the game while keeping it relatively similar with the predecessors. I mean Jaffe is already orgasming over God of War 3 so far and it isn't finished yet. I mean if he can be getting that excited that means the third game is going to be epic on a grand scale. God of War 3 is the game most PS3 owners have been waiting for, buying the system for that game. I mean the 4 past games never disappointed, especially the two PS2 games and PSP game.
    Regardless of what you feel with the lack of gameplay or length on the PSP version, they literally pushed the limits of the Handheld. Giving us a unbelievable Portable God of War game that literally matches the PS2 games on all fronts. I mean you really have to give credit to Sony and devs working on God of War. And I'm truly hyped up for this game now, after reading this. I'm a huge God of War fan, probably more then DMC in all honestly, not to mention a Greek Myth fan. So to play a game within my interests for 10+ years is something to behold.

    Sorry for the long post.
