Here it is, our 5th and final God of War III developer interview of the week, and my personal favorite. The man with the coolest title in gaming, “Battle Director” talks damage dealing, weapons, and the influence of fighting games on the world of God of War. His descriptions of combos and, well, violence are vivid and fun; so this video is a little longer than the other ones. I don’t think you’ll mind.
If Adam’s descriptions don’t get you salivating for the game, maybe you need to watch the trailer again!
Thanks so much for taking time to watch the videos and meet God of War III’s developers. We’ll have a lot more for you on this game closer to E3.

Has anyone said yet whether or not this game will have custom soundtrax? Also, I hope someone can express to Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 producer Yosuke Hayashi and let him know that the same amount of blood in Ninja Gaiden 2 should be used instead of a purple haze when the game is released in western markets. If the only way to get the appropriate age rating in Japan is to use purple haze, then use purple haze in Japan. Give western audiences as much blood as was in Ninja Gaiden 2.

Gotoxy-90 | March 27th, 2009 at 10:39 am
Hmm, the video gets weird from the middle to the end.
Fix it ASAP!

QCVic | March 27th, 2009 at 10:43 am
Though all of the interviews had information that I’ve already heard through reading articles, it’s good to hear it from the developers. I can’t wait for new reveals as E3 rolls up.

The_Punisher111 | March 27th, 2009 at 10:43 am

jeff, stop staring at the camera! I can’t handle that handsome hunk of a face.

Thwip | March 27th, 2009 at 10:51 am
Sounds sick! Can’t wait!
Thanx to the PSN (Jeff), and all of the God of War development team who participated!

Violater | March 27th, 2009 at 10:53 am
Please do not strip Kratos of his powers, make everyone else even more powerful and cause Kratos to have to adapt throughout the game.

hermes200 | March 27th, 2009 at 10:56 am
@7:
If there is a game that does not requires a custom soundtrack, its God of War. Those games have the best music I have heard in years!
24
The_Assassin03 | March 27th, 2009 at 11:00 am
I’m loving the way the new combat system is coming along. Will there be a new trailer sometime soon?
25
JuJuRMJ | March 27th, 2009 at 11:02 am
Thank you PlayStation Blog for informative behind the scenes interviews with game developers. There should be a collection of these videos in its own category on the PS Store. Again great job Jeff and crew!
26
IrishPete333 | March 27th, 2009 at 11:04 am
Can any of you guys tell me when this year E3 is going to be?
@23: I agree God of war doesn’t need custom soundtrack, the music in the game is one of the many things that makes GoW the best game ever! Rock on guys, you are going the make one he11 of a great game!
27
Gringo234 | March 27th, 2009 at 11:05 am
Sounds great.
I like the Street Fighter reference. Is it true that some of the guys working on GOD 3 (and worked on GOD 1 and 2) combat are former Street Fighter developers?
28
KUSHman666 | March 27th, 2009 at 11:06 am
omg i cant wait for this!!!!! i wish jaffe wanted to make a large scale game again, he said his final story for kratos is awesome. i hope they use it :-D

Korbei83 | March 27th, 2009 at 11:16 am
Tonnes of fun indeed.

koston3647 | March 27th, 2009 at 11:24 am
head smashing into walls like the cinematic from the first GOW with the barbarians i want that brutality.

Blkant | March 27th, 2009 at 11:26 am
What is this guys credentials though? Was he a part of the previous God Of War’s or is he an outsider?
32
LordDeff07 | March 27th, 2009 at 11:29 am
Great interview man, I hope the God of war team takes all the time they need to make this game all that it can be. And like some have said, let them find a way to not strip Kratos of his powers, that alone will be the single most original thing of the game.
33
Darkatomz | March 27th, 2009 at 11:35 am
is there something wrong with the video stream about halfway through? the audio stays fine.
great info and interview!
34
Enforcer_X | March 27th, 2009 at 11:39 am
This is EPIC!
I can’t wait to play God Of War 3!

Sakimori_X | March 27th, 2009 at 11:45 am
”Okay, those guys are all on fire, so I have a few seconds to deal with these guys now.”
BEST … LINE … EVER … !!!

remanutd5 | March 27th, 2009 at 11:53 am
Jeff you seriously need to this with others developers , i know God of War is one of sony’s most loved franchises and theres a lot of us who are dying to play the game but it would be very cool to see the same developer interviews from people like Naughty Dog( Uncharted2), Insomniac(Ratchet and Clank), Zipper interactive( M.A.G.), Quantic Dream(Heavy Rain) and much more
37
Wuggyboobeaufuf | March 27th, 2009 at 11:56 am
Is there going to be DLC?
(I hope not, I’d rather have a complete game.)

reson8er | March 27th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
GOD OF ******* WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jncasanova | March 27th, 2009 at 12:13 pm
what happened with the rumor about God of War 3 having multiplayer??
40
Zookey | March 27th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
great time to be a PS fan keep it up guys!

Enigma777 | March 27th, 2009 at 12:34 pm
Did I just hear a Firebow? Hell Yeah! GOW3 is gonna be epic!!!!!!
Thanks for the vids Jeff!
42
caliblue15 | March 27th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
Jeff,
You have another problem with the video. The audio stays fine but the video lags behind, and becomes overly compressed.
43
dj128 | March 27th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
I going to pre-order this game right now. Thanks Jeff. Your great man.
44
K6U1R5D | March 27th, 2009 at 12:59 pm
plz don’t add multiplayer. god of war was meant to be played single player because obviously it’s the best ever! don’t waste time on multiplayer just make the story and gameplay awesome, we got killzone2 for multiplayer!
45
JuanDHexen | March 27th, 2009 at 1:01 pm
@39 If god of war had multiplayer I probably won’t but it, are you kidding me you think every game that is going to be made has to be multiplayer.Games like KZ2 and resistance are build for the sole purpose of multiplayer but not every game is intended to have it.
46
ZekeXenu | March 27th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
Jeff,
Did Adam give you an indication of what other weapons will be in the game? What about using the environment as a weapon (and by that, I mean breaking off objects to use as weapons/traps as opposed to throwing a guy against a wall)?
Good interview… but I felt like we didn’t learn that much new stuff since much of this info was covered in a Game Informer article about six weeks back.
47
Demonized | March 27th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
My most anticipated game of all time.
48
RogueCommando | March 27th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
how tall are you Jeff? you seem to look down at everyone. Im 6′5″. I know what im talking about when I say looking down…
49
Darkos87 | March 27th, 2009 at 1:26 pm
Did he just say you can run some guy’s face into a wall or did I just dream that?
50
The_Punisher111 | March 27th, 2009 at 1:29 pm
@49
He said “You can crush your opponents skulls into walls”
Not thier faces lol
