KratosGodKiller posted 05/07/2011, 03:57
Yeah, I'd say 5m-5.25m lifetime (around 2015) if GOW IV isn't made, +0.25m if it is. Well, I've come up with quite a few possibilities for how Kratos may return. 1) In GOW 3 Kratos died on a phoenix carving which in Greek myth is a symbol of rebirth. 2) Kratos went back in time in GOW 2 to fight Zeus just after he had been killed, but as we know Kratos was resurrected by Gaia so there must've been two Kratos' alive at the same time :S... All my other theories are more obvious so I'll leave it there. As for what else is there left to do, I'd say there's still plenty of unused Greek myth to use as inspiration. I think the main antagonist for GOW IV will be Chaos itself, as well as Nyx (Goddess of night) and Hypnos (God of sleep) and then there are still other Gods and all their offspring and other notable figures in Greek myth. I hope they don't use a new protagonist, otherwise they might as well start a new franchise because God of War without Kratos just wouldn't be the same.

@kratosgodkiller I would go 5 million lifetime but your predictions seem reasonable. how do you think gow4 would work given gow3's endng? new protagonist?

(Not including the trilogy edition) I think this will sell about 4.35m by the end of this year, 4.75m by the end of next year and 5m by the end of 2013 (About 5.25m IF GOW IV is released late 2012/early 2013). I think lifetime sales will stop at about 5.5m.

Including the GOW: Trilogy Edition sales, God of War III has now sold 3,957,745 copies. Also, Vgchartz hasn't bothered to track the America exclusive GOW 3: Ultimate Edition sales so it's impossible to accurately predict how much GOW 3 has really sold.

If that turns out to be true, I'd buy a Vita just for the remake of GOW Betrayal! Yeah, announcing GOW IV at E3 would've overshadowed Sony's other franchises; E3 2012 is going to be EPIC! GO GOW!!! XD

most probably the remake would be for VITA considering that all the prequels to the main (home console) games are for a portable device. It would be awesome to have PS3 like experience in a portable!! I really hope Ready at Dawn is doing it. Also, I think they havent announced this E3 because they want people to be focus on Uncharted and Twisted Metal. Those are great games but GOW is too damn AWESOME!! XD......GO GOW!!!

They'll never troll on a game that's widely considered bad because they know no-one's going to bother argue with them, and causing arguments with random people on the internet is all these incompetent, pathetic, low-life trolls want to do with their time.

And it's certainly undertracked in EMEAA. A lot of the big shops/websites in the UK (Amazon/Play.com/Game/Tesco to name a few) currently list this game in their top 20/40 best-selling PS3 games, so these EMEAA figures make no sense as its most definitely sold more in the UK alone than Vgchartz has it listed at for EMEAA for the past 16 weeks.

It's definitely undertracked in EMEAA. Some examples to back-up my claim = Currently in the UK it's the 5th best-selling PS3 game in Zavvi, top 40 in Tesco, 20th on Play.com, top 40 on Amazon and top 80 in Game. It's sold much more in the UK alone than vgchartz has it listed for the entire EMEAA during the past 20 or so weeks.

Uncharted 2 at 60 weeks was at 4.05m but that was during its 2nd xmas holidays boost. GOW3 has only had one xmas boost and is still just under 0.14m away from UC2 and 1.09m more than LBP ...

GodOfWar_3ever, I also think GoW 3 was better than GoW 2, the amount of things done better in GoW 3 totally outnumber things (if anything at all) GoW 2 does better than GoW 3. Those epic Titan vs God battle flashbacks were happening in real-time during the first 20mins of the game, didn't you notice in the background at certain parts you see the leviathan pull down a Titan (Don't know its name), you see Hades pull a titan 'Oceanus' down Mt. Olympus, you also see Helios fighting with another Titan 'Perses' and then there's the cinematic where Poseidon launches himself at a Titan 'Epimetheus'. I think the entire riding on Gaia whilst she's climbing Mt. Olympus also whilst fighting the leviathan/Poseidon with the God vs Titan battle happening in the background is absolutely spectacular, far more epic than the God vs Titan battle cinematic in GoW2. I think Pandora's effect on the story was perfectly implemented. At the start of their relationship Kratos doesn't care for Pandora, Kratos pursues Pandora just to use her in order for him to gain the power to achieve his revenge without a care about the fact Pandora would have to sacrifice herself. The relationship gradually progresses to form a father-daughter-like relationship between them, to such an extent that Kratos was willing to forfeit his revenge in order to stop her sacrificing herself, showing he has a compassionate side. I didn't miss Linda Hunt's narration at all, it did not affect the game/story in the slightest for me, I'm personally glad the narration is gone; it allows the player to interpret the story themselves rather than have someone explain everything to you as if you're brain-dead. (By the way, if you had the patience to sit through the prologue you would've realized that it was in fact Linda Hunt narrating, so she wasn't completely absent from the game anyway)

JustThatGamer, I thought God of War III was better than II...Only just, but it definitely feels less epic story wise. In the previous GoWs, the flashbakcs used to be epic (titan vs god battle in GoW II). Here they were replaced by those animated scenes which lack the epicness factor. Pandora's effect on the story could've been done so much better. And the story reaaally missed Linda Hunt's narration.

GodOfWar_3ever, I don't agree that the story is weaker. Comparing the story of GoW II to GoW III is a stupid thing to do; it's like reading a book and comparing the middle of the story to the ending as if they're completely different stories. GoW III is an ending to a story, therefore GoW III can't have much more character development and new events unfolding like GoW I&II did, as the final part of the trilogy it has to conclude everything that happened in previous parts of the story, GoW I and GoW II. In my opinion GoW III concludes brilliantly, I'd say it's a perfectly fitting end to the trilogy. DakonBlackblade, very well said.

Story-wise I think the ending was great, however I do think that the final fight could've been more epic, I wish they kept the Kratos vs Zeus vs Gaia fight in, I saw some deleted scenes and it looked incredible, if they released it as free DLC that'd be awesome. With all that said, I still think the final fight was epic but it could of been EPIC.

Also this game isn’t too short at all. If you play through on easy/ normal and don’t look for all the chest and godly possessions, obviously it’s not going to take as long as it takes someone who plays the game properly. Normal difficulty took me 10 hours, hard took me 11 hours, very hard took me just over 12 hours, how the hell is that short?! It’s a perfect length, with 10-12 hours of epic and fun gameplay.

This game is far superior to God of War 2. The story is great, a perfect end to the trilogy. What people don’t understand is that God of War 3 isn’t meant to be judged as a self-contained story, it’s just an ending to a story, and a very good one at that. The beginning (God of War 1) is that which precedes everything and before which there was nothing, the middle (God of War 2) follows the beginning and precedes the end, and the end (God of War 3) follows the middle and there is nothing afterwards, therefore Gow3 can’t have more character development and events unfolding, that would mean there’d have to be a Gow4, which won’t happen because obviously it’s a trilogy.

I actully agree with some of what you've said Biddles. the story was dissapointing to me, the art design couldve been better and it was a bit on the short side. but it was a good game. gameplay was excellent and excellent production values.

The game was inferior to God of War 2, the things you said were good were infact good, however the story was absolutley terrible. The locations in the game were very poor compared to the other two aswell. The entire Titan God war that was built up came to pretty much nothing. And it was very short under 8 hours short.

Biddles...people have different opinions. Me personally, I hate CoD and all those other military FPS (Anything that doesn't involve aliens). But lots of people dig that kind of thing. You might not like God of War III. But there are plenty of people who regard it as one of the best games ever. Great graphics, great soundtrack, a good ending to the franchise, amazing boss battles and sense of scale, and the best combat system the series ever had makes it stand out in a flood of its rip offs (dante's inferno anyone ?) and CoD imitators.

How much was this adjusted up by after NPD March results came in ? it looks like by 100k to me.

NPD March US only sales - 1.1 million

Vgchartz March US only sales - 860k

Thats still 160k low and some of that 100k which it was adjusted up by surely must have been from Canada + Other countries....
1.1 million margin of error = 110k
so its not even within the margin of error...
hmmmm...
+ it hasn't been adjusted a bit in Europe...since this was undertracked in America, I'm inclined to believe its a bit undertracked in Europe also since VGC EU numbers are rumored to be less accurate.

In its first month in American regions, VGC has this at 1.1 million...
NPD has it at 1.1 million in US and I read somewhere TheSource posted that US sales are 83.33% of "Americas" sales usually... thats 5/6 th of the sales... Judging by that math it would have sold 220k in Canada + Other regions bringing the NPD influenced numbers to 1.32 million first month in America.

Hopefully at E3, Sony will reveal worldwide shipments...Lets see if VGC decides to make any adjustments...

Actually if you count the Trilogy bundle/edition it technically did 100k with EU numbers!!!

Damn! Even without Japan numbers it got damn close to 100k. 94k with JP numbers is pretty damn good though. Unless a huge sale happens in Japan :P

I guess a lot of people were waiting to play the first two games before buying this?

I'm glad it's holding well, anyway.

lol dont worry, Im not smoking anything.
yes, they all played the same but Im not complaining about the gameplay because GOW3 had the best and the most refined combat system in the series.
What Im trully disappointed about is how the story was handled.

@Frieza Well our oppinions differ, I've thoroughly enjoyed Hades, Hercules and Hermes fight. It was more about the feeling and diversity which these offered.

Frieza posted 27/04/2010, 08:47
Comparing GOW3 to GOW2 both on normal yes its much shorter, my first playthrough on GOW3 trying to get trophies took me less time than a speed run on GOW2 on easy. I didnt even die 5 times.

Of the bosses Poseidon & Hades were cool, Hermes wasnt really a fight, Hercules was disappointing, Chronos was good but not a boss, Scorpion was lame, Zeus was forgettable.

@Frieza GoW3 has the best boss fights from the whole serie, 2 wasn't much better than 1, except for the Colossus fight. I wouldn't mind a few more puzzles, but overall it's definatelly up there with MGS4 and UC2.

Shorter and Easier? Maybe if you played it on God Mode.I disagree on everything else you wrote as well but I'm not interested in changing your mind. This game is great.

Finished the game, its very good but its very overated its no MGS4 or Uncharted 2.

It isnt even as good as GOW2.

Its shorter, its easier, the story is much worse, the environments arnt as great, the boss fights arnt as good , and i expected the titan and god war to have a larger part.

Got this game with a giftcard (leftover) from christmas. So far I don't like it at all. It doesn't appeal to me and the movement controls and camera are just @*#()@. Graphics are superb ofcourse.

@ frozone: the story isn't great but is sure better than average, the game itself is EXCELLENT (best hack n' slash of this generation), the graphics r unbelievably gorgeous (nothing else comes close), GOW3 is ridiculously undertracked, and u're very much full of it. >=)

Just picked this up. GOW3 is killa,killa story with stellar graphics! GOW 3,uncharted, gran turismo and killzone have the best graphics for ps3 exclusives .Story is incredible like uncharted and resistance series.This game alone is just a work of art probably one of ps3's best games this gen.

It is also undertracked in the USA for the first 3 weeks by over 200k. NPD has first 3 weeks at 1.1 million in the U.S.A. and VGC only has it at 900k. VGC sales are never accurate
