Technical issues aside, it’s still a game about ripping foes in half, as perma-furious anti-hero Kratos scales Mount Olympus to settle his dispute with the gods once and for all… well, for now. Why use a live orchestra? “Samples are good, but you miss the emotion… even though it’s mostly angry emotions in GOW3,” quips Composer Cris Velasco. The soundtrack’s equally lavish, recorded at Skywalker Sound and remotely in Prague (via a link up), and spanning 26 hours of brass, 12 hours of strings, 20 hours of choir vocals, cut and compressed into – we can confirm – GOW3’s duration of over 10 hours. “The High Dynamic Range (HDR) lighting technology – when using Kratos’ sightline – will emulate the human retina, causing players to feel a sharp brightness when Kratos leaves a dark area and enters a sunlit area similar to how the human eye adjusts,” reveals GOW3 UK Product Manager Claire Backhouse, adding that the game is only possible on PS3. GOW3’s dynamic lighting is only possible due to the processing power of PS3’s Cell SPU chips.

GOW’s technical prowess reflects in its native 720p resolution, with a variable frame rate between 30-60 frames per second, depending on the intensity of the scene. “I know that it’s something we could do – not incredibly complicated” reveals Asmussen, “It would kind of be like looking in on a small world living in your TV.”
#GOD OF WAR 1 PC MEGA PATCH#
Sony aren’t ruling out running the whole game in 3D – but only via a download patch later in the year. More intriguingly, as Kratos scales Mount Olympus, you’ll get to explore the home of the gods in all its glory, including the lush Olympus Gardens, a place of beauty where the gods go to reflect.
