YESSSSS!!!! back to basics!!!! (i said that to the second to)

The idea is cool, but it still looks very early.

If it plays like the other GoW games, it won't be a bad thing in itself. It will be a bad thing, however, for all the people touting this as being something truly revolutionary. After watching that trailer, I honestly can't see anything that sets it apart from the rest of the next-gen crowd. It looks good, but it doesn't look as incredible as people like David Jaffe are making it out to be.

As long as people keep in mind this is more or less leaked and not meant for public viewing. Remember, it's a game developer conference, this video was there to illustrate what they were talking about I suppose. And yes it looks like God of War. Did someone expect, or want, something different? Meh. GoW is all about its epic set pieces if I judge the franchise by the PSP game's demo (haven't played any of the actual games and I don't own a PS3 either), none of which is demonstrated here, other than the ability to maneuver that beast.

" It will be a bad thing, however, for all the people touting this as being something truly revolutionary. "

What do you expect people? It's kinda like Megaman. Megaman is Megaman, its formula works, and it's really fun. Same with GOW. It was never "revolutionary", just really really fucking awesome.

I think it's just the "new" thing that if you can't think of a good reason to bash something, just say that it's generic or not intuitive.

People expected there to be aliens and Kratos carrying a shotgun.It really does bewilder me as to what people expect when these sequels get announced. Besides, even in that short gameplay reveal there is a new mechanic -- I don't remember riding Cyclops' in God Of War I/II/CoO, do you?"

Actually, that didn't look particularly fun to me. But I agree, this is a God of War game, and that's what people should be expecting."

dude, i thought that footage looked pretty awesome. now i can't wait to see more of the game : )

Who said it was going to be revolutionary? David Jaffe said it looked like a "renaissance canvas painting" and that trailer did look highly stylistic.As for the gameplay. It looks like God Of War. Like Al3xand3r said -- this demo is designed to show off the number of enemies on screen which already eclipses that of God Of War II. I'm assuming the environment and "setup" has purely been developed to show off the engine."

It looks promising but lacks innovation just like all the other hack and slash games

wow this looks like shit? Not. It looks like God of War 3. It looks like I will be riding cyclops' and killing dudes. It looks like if u actually see the whole leaked video, that this is just before u rip Helios' head off.  It looks like the enemies are smarter. It looks like kratos' Blades are stronger. And what else it looks like is a good game. What it doesn't look like is just another hack and slash game.

TROLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL CONTROLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

"It looks promising but lacks innovation just like all the other hack and slash games "

Already seen it.
The riding of the cyclops looks fun, but the minigame looks to easy...

Got tired of GoW after i did the same move 20 times

Every game must get tiring pretty fast for you then, maybe with the exception of VS beat em ups which last 10 more mins...

Live stage demo on Gamespot right now.
