God of War III
"There will be only chaos." - Kratos
God of War III is a forthcoming installment in the popular God of War series. It is to be released for the PlayStation 3 video game console, with a tentative release date of 2009. It is the fifth chapter in the series chronologically, after God of War: Chains of Olympus, God of War, God of War: Betrayal and God of War II.
Though little is known about the game at this point, it was confirmed to be in development by Cory Barlog at a God of War II launch event. He revealed that the game would run at full 1080p HD resolution, and the game would support SIXAXIS tilt and vibration functions. This statement was rather odd as the SIXAXIS controller does not currently support rumble; however, Sony executives have settled their dispute with Immersion, who are responsible for the rumble technology in both PlayStation and PlayStation 2 controllers and have agreed to integrate rumble technology to PlayStation products. This means that the rumble feature will be added to a future version of the current PlayStation 3 controller, like its predecessors. Barlog also expressed an interest in adding a cooperative mode "if we can do something unique with it".
It is currently unknown at this point whether God of War creator David Jaffe will have any involvement in the production of God of War III, due to the fact that he is now part of the independent game developer Eat Sleep Play, although keeping on good terms with Sony.
