They'll be giving them out when they get them in the store, it doesnt make much sense to not get the demo code till the game releases lol.

just in case i mean the god of war collection, I ask because i reserve the normal copy 2 weeks ago and didn't knew if they give me the code there or when the game arrives.

[Kyo]

Well if your buying the GOW colllection, it will come in the box, but if you reserve god of war 3, they will give you a voucher for the code as well as soon as they get them in. If you check with them later next week they should have the vouchers in for the GOW 3 preorders.

Quick Look: God of War III Demo - giantbomb.com

Worth watching just for the commentary.

[Kyo]

Just finished the demo, all I can say is, can it please be March already?

[Atreides]

ooo I got my demo code today (which I'll get 2 more of when my copies of District 9 and GoW Collection get here, but that's another story) but I was too busy with dragon age to play... I guess I'll give it a try tomorrow morning.

[Kyo]

The demo is huge 2.7gb so it may take a while to download for some, but so worth it, downloaded it while I was out with the g/f today.

Played the demo last week and was actually pretty underwhelmed overall.

So some comparison screens have been released for the God of War Collection and god damn the games look a lot better.

Wow that looks a lot better can't wait, just got done playing the demo and was very nice. I have heard the demo in the GoW collection is going to be different then the demo from the pre-order any know if this is true?

@shojin

holy crap they did a good job with the graphics, hope it doesn't have frame rate issues since its a port and all that shit then again i know they will do a good job with it.

[Kaisha]

Nice of them to go back and use some of the source-textures for the port rather than sticking with the ones that got downscaled to fit into PS2's vram.

I was expecting a straight-up port + higher-resolution basically, good to see some effort being put into it.

Nah the demo in the coll is the same E3 demo, and yeah wow they look ALOT better and cleaned up, doesnt even feel like ports now.

Press Release: Roadrunner Announces God of War EP

Roadrunner Records today announced plans to release an exclusive digital EP soundtrack for the highly anticipated PlayStation®3 (PS3?) exclusive videogame, God of War® III.

The EP, titled God of War®: Blood & Metal, will be released in March as a part of the God of War III® Ultimate Edition, and will feature five exclusive unreleased songs from Roadrunner artists, including Killswitch Engage, Dream Theater, Trivium, Opeth and Taking Dawn.

Consumers who purchase the God of War III Ultimate Edition will receive a voucher code to download the tracks, as well as downloadable music in the form of the God of War Trilogy soundtrack.

Fans will also receive a special code to download a director's cut of God of War: Unearthing the Legend, a full-length movie documentary depicting the history of the God of War franchise, access to an exclusive God of War Challenge Arena environment with up to seven unique challenges, an exclusive Kratos skin, and a limited edition art book. The God of War III Ultimate Edition will retail for $99.99 (MSRP).

"I have played the previous God of War releases," said Killswitch Engage vocalist Howard Jones. "To be a part of this game in any fashion is amazing! Let the rivers flow red with blood; there is vengeance to bestow! Bring me more new finishing blows to my enemies!"

"Music has always been an important part of videogames and can help bring titles to life," said Stig Asmussen, God of War III Game Director. "Our goal is to make God of War III a special release in all areas and this just another way to offer fans and newcomers a worthwhile experience."

"This is the first time in 24 years that we've written and recorded a song for anything other than one of our own albums, so we're up for the challenge and excited to have been asked," said Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy about recording an exclusive instrumental track for the soundtrack.

"When we were initially asked to write an original song for the game, we were slightly perplexed since we've never actually written a track for something other than a Trivium record," said Trivium, vocalist Matt Heafy.

"But we answered the call as we are fans of the game. Writing the song was a fun experience. We started piecing riffs together on tour and then we really put time into the song when we got home and had the chance to go into the practice space to work on our ideas as a group. This new song captures a certain energy we've been trying to harness on record as well, as it will show all our fans worldwide where Trivium is heading musically in the future."

Developed by Sony Computer Entertainment's Santa Monica Studios, the God of War video game brings epic battles to life with stunning graphics and an elaborate plot that puts Kratos at the center of carnage and destruction as he seeks revenge against the Gods who have betrayed him.

o.O I'd seen this date posted for a long time now, It's in march for sure, don't remember if PSN's first pulse said an exact date or not.

[Kyo]

Gamestop's has been showing april first for 3 months, I just happened to check best buys. I have a favorites list for release dates on my tabs and I usually check once a week to see if anything has changed.

Anyways, really want GOW 3 already :l
