    There is a neat thing about God of War 3 Remastered. First it's the graphics: Santa Monica decided to amp out the graphics. All of the DLCs are included as well as photo mode (where you can share a photo based on what photo colour you want).

The sad part about God of War is that the controls/story/gameplay is pretty much the same with a few exemptions: Start and select is basically the middle touchpad button and the options button. There is a lightbar - which your playing it with the colour red. So it will shine red when you create a new game (or load one, challenge mode, etc.). The third is basically the graphics. Other than that, it would be more disappointing to see a return of the Remastered (unless you happen to play from the beginning of the story to the end - which is God of War 3). EDIT: What I did not realize was for a fact that your controller changes colour based on the weapon itself that your wielding. I did not realize that from the time you do have to obtain new weapons.

    This game is truly a masterpiece. Epic boss battles, fantastic set-pieces, great pacing and excellent level design and combat make it a must-have for anyone who has a PS4 and likes action games. This is easily the best game I've played on PS4.

    I bought a PS4 and i was tallking with my brother what should i buy for it. And i said, damn if GOW3 was on PS4 i would buy it instantly. After dinner that day, i went on my PC and found out that GOW3 is getting a PS4 remaster. Coincidence? I don't think so :D

    Take one of the best games off all-time and up it to 1080/60 with various other graphical improvements, add a visceral new weapon, all dlc/costumes, photomode, God of War 1 & 2 for free on PS Now (90 days), and throw in a PS4 dynamic theme and you have yourself a nice little package for 39.99.

    The games visual improvements From 720p and 30+fps to 1080p and 60fps Dynamic lighting

    The games visual improvements

    From 720p and 30+fps to 1080p and 60fps

    Dynamic lighting and shadows have been added

    Improved anti aliasing and graphics filters

    Improved camera and a photomode

    Some texture work, improved facial and character definition and muscle striations

    This is not just a lazy up res as some salty "gamers" who will never see anything more than a compressed YouTube vid will claim. God of War 3 Remastered is a must buy for those who haven't played, but also for those who have. The PS4 version does this game so much justice with the fluidity of 60fps combat and with the low latency ultra responsive DUALSHOCK 4 controller you will have a newfound mastery over Kratos The Godslayer. The new gauntlet weapon is a welcomed addition and a grappling good time, and with the improved visuals the boss fights come to life like never before, Poseidon is a sight to behold in native 1080p.

    This really is a fantastic experience on the PS4 and the game is more thrilling than ever. Even if you are a God of War veteran you owe it to yourself to experience the very best version of the most epic game of all-time, and if you own a PS4 but have never experienced the series, invest in a set of hinges because this game will blow the doors off. This is the best version of (arguably) the best game, just like The Last of Us Remastered, God of War 3 Remastered on PlayStation 4 is a 10/10. Must buy.

    Being a PS3 game at the end of the day, the remastered graphics may not be up to current PS4 standards, but they're still very good. Definitely acceptable. Graphics aren't the reason I like this game though. The gameplay is amazing, and fun. Boss fights are epic and even the general fighting is solid.
    The puzzles could've been harder but the scenery/locations are pretty cool.
    It's a must play

    I don't give a rats ass about 1080p or 60fps, but the gameplay is... obviously, I fought God of War is just a slack of anger games, but instead it is not! Kratos was the reason why your mom wouldn't buy you a PS2, & other reason, Sex content! So now, you can play Kratos in your PS4 and ignored your mom ranting s*it, because you now, a grown up, to play this AWESOME GAME!

    Sony already explained that the purpose of remastering games is to give the people who didn't have PS3 the chance to experience some of the best games made for that console.
    In my case, I had PS3 but I couldn't play GOW3 so this is my chance and I'm not gonna pass it.
    for someone who hasn't played it before it's a fantastic experience; an amazing story with fast-paced and thrilling

    The cutscences aren't 60fps, but I don't have any complaints considering that I didn't get to play GOW3 on PS3, a day before the announcement of GOW3 Remastered on PS4, I was thinking that they would do it, and it happened.

    La calidad grafica es indiscutible, si no se sabria q fue un juego de ps3 tranquilamente pasa por un juego de ps4. Los que se quejan de las remasterizaciones simplemente que no lo compren y se acabo, pero yo jugue a todos los God of War en sus respectivas consolas y aun asi lo compre por soy un fan de la saga. Muy recomendado.

    The God of War series is one of the greatest video game collection I've ever played. There's nothing new added, but God of War III is an awesome game that's worth a multiple re-plays. The combat, storyline, and level of detail make this game a must-have.

    Best game i played ever in PS4 so far, it was worth the buy. I congratulate the GOD OF WAR 3 game makers for making such a wonderful game, their effort is worth 10/10 score. The game is got best graphics, gameplay. Good game design and cinematic. Felt like i was inside the game, truly remastered to perfection.

    One of the greatest games ever with lipstick on. In my view these games should be played on the hardest mode of difficulty to get the most out of them. Whilst you can leave the difficulty low and mash your way through the glorious story and scenery the game experience is so much better when you need to block and parry etc etc.

    I only read one bad review on here that actually critiqued the game and sounded like they had played it. All the other bad reviews sounded like they came from salty people who never played it but just needed to leave a bad score for some reason or another.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. God of War 3 is the best way to close the trilogy. The history is the best point of the game. Blood too, like when you kill Hermes, Helios, almost every gods we make that. The difference from PS3 version to PS4 is some graphic quality, not too much, effects and the 60 fps. If you don't have a PS3 this is a must-have game for you. Hope you enjoy it. Expand

    God of War is my favorite games series. God of War is my favorite part so far, but I think it's a consistent story from 1 to 3, you have to look at it completely and it's just awsome. The graphics and gameplay were so great on the PS3 and it looks so much better on the PS4. I hope I fall in love with the new God of War.

    Lo pasé un par de veces en el PS3, hace poco me lo prestaron y quise aprovechar para darle el visto bueno en PS4
    Realmente no se parece a un juego hecho para PS3, tal vez por eso le queda muy bien al PS4, acción al por mayor, variedad de enemigos, variedad de armas y ataques, una historia para cerrar el ciclo griego

    Don't bother even reading GamerTyrant's 0 or any of the other 3 lame scores. God of War 3 is the best God of War game in the original trilogy, and for good reason. The boss fights and stages are on a epic scale (the beginning titan is unreal), and it just gets better. Story is just fine as well. Gameplay is amazing, violence here in all its glory, and sound and music are perfect.Don't bother even reading GamerTyrant's 0 or any of the other 3 lame scores.

    The reason that I say this is because in order to play, succeed, win, defeat and beat this real time video game you have to both press and click in real time so many different buttons on your controller that you see on your screen very quickly and you also have to think and react so very fast enough before it's too late, you fail, you lose and the game is over.

    This real time video game requires you very both quickly and fast both press and click all the buttons on your controller that you see on your screen. Any mistake and you died.

    This real time video game indeed requires very high skills levels and natural talents in real time video gaming and if you are either unskilled or inferior in real time video gaming then don't worry, this real time video game also has an easy mode, so called "Spartan", for unskilled and inferior real time video gamers.

    Playing this real time video game may also improve all of your skills and talents in real time video gaming, make you better in real time video gaming and help you as a real time video gamer learn how to play better real time video games.

    This real time video game also hides many secrets that you, as a real time video gamer playing with Kratos, either may miss some of them or can find all of them but you have to explore every new area and place and be both very smart, clever and intelligent in order to find all of them. Every secret in this real time video game has a gift and blessing for Kratos. Every gift and blessing in this real time video game, once both found, picked and taken, increases the stats of Kratos and make Kratos even more stronger, powerful and dangerous.

    Kratos also gets and use very powerful, awesome and fun weapons in this real time video game.

    This real time video game also has many complex puzzles that require you to use your intelligence and think a lot in order to solve them.

    Kratos is so very both strong, lovely and awesome in this real time video game. Kratos also has very memorable lines too. Kratos is definitely the best favorite character ever in my opinion.

    This real time video game is so addictive that you won't stop and quit playing this real time video game until you finish it completely from the beginning to the end and then you may also want to replay it again after unlocking the hardest most difficult mode so called "Chaos".

    All the controls of this real time video game are also very convenient.

    I wish this real time video game had more DLCs, so you can keep playing it more and more. The story of this real time video game is also very both interesting and fascinating.

    This real time video game is very recommended because it is a masterpiece.

    This real time video game is an example of how a successful real time, action and adventure video game supposes to be.

    You absolutely can learn from this real time video game what makes a real time, action and adventure video game so successful.

    I promise you, you won't regret both buying, purchasing, downloading, installing and playing this real time video game.

    If you will listen to me and just do what I say (Both buy, purchase, download, install and play this real time video game) then you are only going to enjoy this real time video game and have a lot of fun moments and good times and you too will wish that this real time video game will have more DLCs to buy, download, install and play no matter the cost once you finish it.

    And you too will fall in love very much in this character, so called Kratos, you play with in this real time video game the more time you play.

    Poseidon, Zeus, Hades and Hercules are also incredible in this real time video game.

    This is one of the best games i ever played. I bought it with my PS4 years ago and i loved the game. It's interesting, it's colorful, it doesn't allow me to get bored. I played it two times and I'd do it again.

    Everything about this game is done perfectly. The boss battles are the grand. The gameplay is addicting with the game giving you so many weapons and trinkets to use in combat to string together godlike combos that make you feel like a god of war.

    Don't think that just because it is a fast paste hack and slash game it has no story or character arcs. Kratos may seem like a rage monster

    Don't think that just because it is a fast paste hack and slash game it has no story or character arcs. Kratos may seem like a rage monster at first glance, but once you read between the lines you soon realize that he has layers to him. The story about how he has been abused by the gods all his life to the point he becomes a hollow shell of a man is beautifully written. The more I played the more invested I was into Kratos as a character and how the gods turned him from man to monster.

    I first played God of War 3 upon its first release just over 5 years ago, and at the time I was slightly disappointed truth be told - the first game was a heck of an introduction, the second game is still probably one of my favourite games of all time, so you can see that God of War 3 had a lot to live up to - and it couldn't quite do that.

    I first played God of War 3 upon its first release just over 5 years ago, and at the time I was slightly disappointed truth be told - the first game was a heck of an introduction, the second game is still probably one of my favourite games of all time, so you can see that God of War 3 had a lot to live up to - and it couldn't quite do that.

    Looking back now as I'm enjoying it again, I perhaps was being a little too harsh - God or War 2 took the series to some amazing extremes, and God of War 3 had the unenviable task of not only closing everything off, but taking the one thing left everyone wanted - the only remaining thing!! - the big scrap, and somehow looking to stretch it out into a full game.

    Thankfully the change of pace was always a welcome one, and the fact that it stays firmly in a couple of set locations as opposed to the first two may seem forced, but it makes perfect sense. Also, packed with the sheer amount of enemies that the game throws at you, hundreds of neat moments, and boss battles that extend and contort under the sheer weight of their expectation, only make for a decent closer to a damned fine trilogy.

    In all, God of War 3 is a decent game.

    Now onto the remaster, I did wonder at first why Sony only sought to remaster this title in the series? I mean, why not ascension as well (and do the release as a double-package?)? The package is really barebones for the money too, so loading the game up does serve to put those reservations away. The game now runs almost all the time at 60 FPS, 1080P, and as a result what looked looked lovely before is outright stunning now. There's a photo mode to make screengrabs, but in all honesty its superfluous. Something like Driveclub is made for photos, not this game really.

    I'd question spending over £30 on this remaster, but if you want something stunning and extremely playable then this is worth the money. There isn't that much out like it at the moment and even if you're lost on the plot (and you haven't played the first two!!) you'll have a blast.

    Pricey, but really good.

    Kratos Rache war auf der PlayStation 3 nahezu perfekt, auf der PlayStation 4 wird der Gesamteindruck allerdings etwas durch die Probleme und Schwächen getrübt, die nicht ausgemerzt wurden: Stichwort freie Kamera, häufiger Gebrauch von Quick-Time-Events und Schwächen in der Präsentation. Die zweifelsohne noch immer sehr schicke Grafik beeindruckt das PS4-Grafik verwöhnte Auge allerdings nicht mehr wirklich. Was bleibt ist aber ein grandioser Rachefeldzug mit brachialer Action, der auch nach fünf Jahren noch immer begeistern kann und eine – verzeihung wegen des Wortspiels – Mordsgaudi macht! Kratos bleibt cool und zeitlos, seine Geschichte spannend. GOD OF WAR III Remastered kann wirklich jeder spielen und (wieder) Spaß haben, ob als Neueinsteiger in die Serie oder als alter Kriegsgott-Veteran – nur bitte nicht zum Release und einem Fast-Vollpreis von 50 €. Es wird Zeit für ein neues Abenteuer des unermüdlichen Kratos!

    Jako że nie posiadałem PS3, a ukończyłem GOW 1 i 2, musiałem zakupić tego remastera. Gra zacna, trzyma poziom, wieńczy historię. Kto nie grał, niech zagra, bo warto. Odejmuje jeden punkt za - moim zdaniem - źle wyważony poziom trudności i efekt zamulenie, kiedy dostanie się po głowie - nie można przejść do kontry.

    Originally developed by SCE Santa Monica Studio for the PS3, God of War 3 has been remastered for the PS4 and gameplay supports 1080p at 60fps. God of War 3 Remastered brings epic battles to life with graphics and an elaborate plot that put Kratos at the center of carnage and destruction.

    God of War III was a masterpiece of a game for the PS3, and Sony Santa Monica outdid themselves after the acclaimed God of War and GoW 2 games. Now it's on PS4, in better shape than before.

    This game concludes Kratos' story of revenge against the Gods of Olympus in fictional Ancient Greece. GoW III features the most WOW opening of any game I can remember, with Kratos charging against Mount Olympus while riding Gaia and his allies the Titans, then fights and kills Poseidon straight away before being sent to the Underworld by Zeus so that the game proper can begin (hey, if that didn't happen the game would last 3 hours max). What better and more epic way to start a game! But the rest of it is no slouch. Each new boss battle is better than the last. Each new area is more beautiful than the previous one. Even violence has become more prevalent, there were moments I sympathised with Kratos' victims, but there is nothing too gory. The final fight against Zeus is mostly presented as a 2D fighting game, which is a nice change of pace. Ultimately Kratos wipes the Greek gods out of the face of the Earth. Surprise! XD Don't say I spoilt the story. Did you really expect anything different?

    Graphics are amazing, the epic scale of battles has become even more epic (the battle against the Titan Kronos is featured in no other game), gameplay is as always solid with a mix of hack n' slash, platforming and puzzles (unfortunately there is a puzzle late in the game that plays with perspective and I couldn't solve it without reading a walkthrough). The Remastered version runs at a locked 60 fps and displays at 1080p resolution, but the game's assets haven't been really touched upon relative to the PS3 original.

    All in all, God of War III Remastered is a terrific game. If you missed it on the previous generation because you owned another console or a PC do yourselves a favor and just buy it and play it, it's one of the best and most spectacular games you will ever experience.

    Otro juegazo. Ya he hablado con más gente que me ha trasladado su opinión de que los God of War clásicos son mejores que lo ofrecido en el reboot de la saga, no es solo cosa de una o dos personas. Estoy de acuerdo. El éxito de esta saga no es casualidad y la trilogía principal, es de lo mejor que puedes jugar en una Playstation.

    Como siempre, hay que tener en cuenta que esto es un remaster, un lavado de cara del juego original de PS3 y hay que decir que le sienta genial en lo visual. Se ve como un juego actual y el lavado de cara aumenta exponencialmente la espectacularidad que ya de por sí es inherente al juego.

    Para los que no lo hayan jugado nunca, o conozcan a Kratos solo por la última entrega o por los constantes anuncios de Ragnarok, decir que esto es un hack and slash de la vieja escuela con resolución de puzzles, con una historia excelente y un diseño absolutamente magistral. Cada uno de los juegos es un enorme puzzle dividido en varios puzzles más pequeños. El combate es fluido y espectacular, hace parecer al jugador que es un verdadero maestro con el mando, alternando combos y magias ante verdaderas hordas de enemigos cada vez mejor equipados y poderosos. Mención especial para los combates contra los jefes finales, con esos QTE que ya son marca de la casa. La tercera entrega se caracteriza por ser la más retorcida y espectacular, si cabe, de los 3 juegos originales en lo que concierne a su diseño.

    Creo que he jugado pocos juegos de este género tan redondos como este God of War. Los 3 primeros merecen la pena, pero el 3 es probablemente el mejor de ellos. Must play sin duda.

    A zero-hassle remaster of a great action hack 'n' slash. The combat system is still great, even if inferior to that of some Japanese games of the same genre, and the graphics have aged extraordinarily well. Still, as we said, a lot more could have been done in this remaster.

    The fact that the Photo Mode is one of the emphasized features tells everything about how necessary this remaster was and how much effort was put into it. Yes, the textures are sharper, the lighting is better, but the difference is not breathtaking, because the game was already stunningly beautiful before. It’s not how I imagined Kratos’ assault on PS4. So why such a high score? Five years later it’s still an exceptional game and I envy everyone who is to experience this grand adventure for the first time. [09/2015, p.43]
