Watch God of War III's Poseidon Boss Fight Now

If you want to watch nine minutes of straight God of War III [http://www.amazon.com/God-War-III-Playstation-3/dp/B000ZK9QCS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1278968473&sr=1-1] footage (in German) featuring the game's spectacle-worthy fight against Poseidon, then why haven't you clicked this yet?

*WARNING: SPOILERS*

The above footage comes to the internet courtesy of GamePro.de [http://www.gamepro.de/], and as one might expect for a German website, all of the narration and dialogue is entirely in Deutsch. Still, beyond providing a momentary "Huh, so that's what Kratos sounds like in German," it does nothing to take away from the spectacle on screen.

The nine-minute clip shows a ton of raw God of War III gameplay, including the battle with Poseidon - presumably a very early boss fight, seeing as how it takes place atop the head and shoulders of the titan Gaia. If anyone was worried that God of War III would not share the fantastic sense of scale of its predecessors, worry no more.

GoW3 is looking absolutely fantastic so far. This is easily one of the best-looking games we've ever seen, which makes for one hell of a visual treat. Some of the animations don't look quite as smooth as I'd like (we've been spoiled by Uncharted) but it still looks incredible. Kratos' may be getting quite the grand finale after all.

I mean, there are spoilers, but...

I'm too weak!

Somebody stop me before I do something I'll regret!

*makes you play Zombie Ninja Pro Am*

OT: Looking good. I don't have a job to get a PS3, so I'll likely not play it for a least a year, but looking good.

 

[IamQ]

Damn, that looks good (I watched like 5 seconds, due to not wanting to spoil too much).

The graphics are defenetly better than last year at E3.

 

[Brad Shepard]

well... i... i think i wanted to puke at hte eye gouge part. but im sticking with Dante's Inferno.

 

[Swaki]

it looks awesome!

but better yet, i understood about half of what he said, the german classes i took in school wasn't a complete waste.

edit: that was some pretty weak spoilers btw, kratos beating up a god, if you didn't see that coming your probably not going to buy the game.

 

[Phoenixlight]

Hmm I've got the demo and I'm not too impressed; I suffered a slight drop in frame rate during certain combos (L1 + square spam) against multiple opponents.

 

[Distorted Stu]

Look at that! HOLY SHIT!
I hate my xbox now..

 

[Carnagath]

No waaaaaaaay, not gonna kill the wow factor with a shitty youtube video.

 

[aaronmcc]

das ist gut. ya?

 

[rokkolpo]

can't wait till a friend of mine buys this and i can exploit him.

 

[Armored Prayer]

That looked amazing!

Its games like that I wish I had a PS3.

 

[Julianking93]

Not watching it since I don't want to spoil anything, but I'm sure its badass.

 

[Casual Shinji]

That's right, just dangle this little bone in front of us like the rabbid salivating dogs that we are.

Well, I'm not gonna bite for I have an iron will.

 

[hermes]

Why... why... why am I so weak?!

 

[JoshGod]

i didnt notice spoilers to the story (prehaps there are for those who speak german)
although illd hardly say killing poisidon a spoiler i mean we know it was coming.

great gameplay.

 

[Quiet Stranger]

hahahaha, Kratos is HILARIOUS in German, love it

 

[Bobby_C]

Man, the thumbs thing is horrible.

 

[Sosa Star]

Oh, wow. That video blew me away. They've made the boss fights much for cinemaitc, and seeing parts of it through the victems eyes was incredible. My only complaint is that one spell he used twice. It seems to be an area spell but it looks really cartoony to me and seemed completely out of place.

 

[Zepren]

i don't know... looks like a quick time cluster-fuck.
