Over on his blog, God of War creator David Jaffe had this to say about God of War III.

ps. I saw GOD OF WAR III when I was in Santa Monica last week. I can and will not give away details. But I think it’s ok for me to say two things:

a- HOLY HOLY HOLY ****ING HELL!!!!
b- I thought GEARS OF WARS 2 looked about as good as a next-gen game could look….and that game is currently- and will probably remain- my game of the year. And hell, I think I actually get to vote on that kind of stuff in some circles And unless I get blown away by POP or something else I missed, GEARS 2 is the ****….this year. Dudes and dudettes, ****ing WAIT till you see the amazing graphics…just ****ing wait. And yes, Xbots, accuse me all you want of being a Sony fanboy. Just remember two things:

#1- I just said GEARS 2 is the BEST ****ing playing and looking game of the year….better than any PS3 game. And there are some damn good PS3 games, I feel.

#2- **** YOU! I ain’t no fan boy but this mother ****ing game looks like nothing you’ve ever played…and you can hold me to that when this thing hits and when they start showing gameplay footage. It looks like a painting come to life- it’s THAT good looking.
