Right before God of War III’s first playthrough was revealed to the media, we asked you: If you could ask the development team anything, what would it be? I then scribbled your queries onto a card and ran off to the event. We rolled camera, and since we’re now at GDC week, what better time to meet the team and get those questions answered?
So here we are, the first of five videos, beginning with a familiar face: Stig Asmussen, God of War III’s Game Director answers your questions, ranging from the game’s accessibility, influences, and what the power of the PS3 allows the team to do.

hey Jeff, may want to check the audio on the video… your audio gets interrupted with the trailer audio around the 5 min mark.

illmatic610 | March 23rd, 2009 at 2:03 pm
Fantastic interview Jeff! You did well. And at least Stig looks like he knows what he’s talking about.
Unlike our coach Andy Reid.
Burrrrrrrn

ouch.

lowhonor | March 23rd, 2009 at 2:04 pm
good interview, hopefully you can get that audio fixed on it like aforementioned
Jeff Rubenstein replied on March 23, 2009 at 2:22 pm
Yeah, found the issue, but re-rendering and re-uploading will take a few hours…
22
hermes200 | March 23rd, 2009 at 2:04 pm
Will we have a demo?
23
ts23245 | March 23rd, 2009 at 2:05 pm

Zezzler | March 23rd, 2009 at 2:07 pm
Any Chance of Home interactivity with GoW3? like Acheivable Home furnature and clothes, or a Home Space?
26
The_Apprentice | March 23rd, 2009 at 2:07 pm
Jeff, Better than anything you have ever seen??!?
Just to give us insight, what was the best thing you’ve seen before the God of War 3 footage? :o
Jeff Rubenstein replied on March 23, 2009 at 2:23 pm
Hmm, probably Killzone 2.
27
Agriel | March 23rd, 2009 at 2:08 pm
like about 20 secs of that interview you cant hear anything besides the God of War 3 trailer in the back ground
28
katsuo7171 | March 23rd, 2009 at 2:08 pm

cfashacar | March 23rd, 2009 at 2:08 pm

Great interview, Jeff! Keep ‘em coming!
34
guitain | March 23rd, 2009 at 2:12 pm
Does Stig Asmussen have any scandinavian blood in ‘im? Because that would be pretty Blood and Gorish… (Pssst… Vikings! =D)
Even though noones as blood and gorish as the God of War himself… Ares!
… Who’s that bald guy with a red tattoo walking in my room with swor… ARGARHGARH!!!! *splat*

37
kingmeazly | March 23rd, 2009 at 2:16 pm
Amazing news, thanks Jeff your work is much appreciated, along with the God of War 3 staff, one thing i noticed though is that it is hard to hear you talk at 5 minutes into the video.
Jeff Rubenstein replied on March 23, 2009 at 2:24 pm
Yes, everyone’s pointing it out. I’ll try to get the fix in!
38
Thrasher20 | March 23rd, 2009 at 2:17 pm

41
Microshock | March 23rd, 2009 at 2:22 pm
The trailer is so goddamn good, i love it, especially when kratos is on that cyclops and basically whispering.
42
Chase167 | March 23rd, 2009 at 2:23 pm

43
singhjeet29 | March 23rd, 2009 at 2:24 pm

45
hife | March 23rd, 2009 at 2:26 pm
Seems like the people who get sneak peeks keep saying it is the best thing they have ever seen.
I haven’t seen anything to convince me of that yet, but the possibility sure does excite me.
46
Slipping_halo | March 23rd, 2009 at 2:27 pm
Man, what a great interview. How cool is this, to be able to ask our question and get some real feedback, gotta love it
