    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).

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.… Expand

    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 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.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    What can i say about God of War... ITS FREAKING AWESOME! GoW3 Remastered is a good remasterization of the great and epic God of War 3. If you have a PS4 and like games like Devil May Cry and Dantes Inferno, you will love this monster.

    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.

    Amazing game, if you love any of the older GOW games you'll love this one.

    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

    Great bloody slashers, which third part was even bloodier. Graphics brought up to modern standards, nothing spoiled. In war there is one God - this is Kratos! Recommend!

    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

    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]
