E3 2008: God of War III E3 Conference Impressions

God of War fans have long hoped that the series would come to the PlayStation 3, and this year Sony finally confirmed it was going to happen. Details remain scarce, and the trailer didn't show any in-game footage, but it's likely that the announcement alone will be enough for salivating fans.

The trailer itself showed a dark and rainy Greek landscape, with the voice-over explaining how the walls of Olympus have been breached. Predictably, it's down to Kratos to save the day, and as our antihero is introduced the voice-over continues to explain how Kratos "must suffer in the end." The extremely short trailer finished with Kratos standing atop a hill, the camera holding his gaze.

The trailer was unfortunately all prerendered footage, but it was pretty impressive nonetheless. Jack Tretton introduced the game merely as "God of War III," and said that it would be released "beyond this holiday season." If we hear any more details during the E3 conference, we'll be sure to let you know.
