"More erotic scenes," anyone?

Following up on our first look at God of War III, French magazine PSM3 has a bunch of details on the game to complement what we first showed you. Much of it isn't exactly new (we saw the wall-run in the trailer, for instance), but it's handy to have it all laid out as such. Courtesy of Qj:

  • 1080p native resolution, no obvious loading times (like Uncharted, DMC4), stable framerate (unclear whether 60fps)
  • No SIXAXIS tilt-sensing controls - the team couldn't figure out a seamless way to incorporate it without making it appear to be forced or gimmicky.
  • GoW3 won't have too many weapons and new features. The Santa Monica team wants to keep it simple without overburdening the player.
  • No co-op. No online mode whatsoever. Just pure single-player Kratos.
  • GoW3 engine is an evolved GoW2 engine, using the PS3 hardware to its maxed potential - Naughty Dog and Insomniac Games helped out with some development.
  • Real-time damage, blood, gore - the engine can even (probably?) render specific cuts on Kratos, show bulging muscles, and sweat.
  • Speaking of bulging muscles and sweat, the sex-minigame is back (it wouldn't be a GoW game without it). SCE Santa Monica promises "more erotic scenes" this time around.
  • Kratos has a new wall-run ability (like in Prince of Persia)

    Not bad, though I'm sure people are disappointed by the lack of multiplayer and new features/weapons.

    I have yet to play the first two (and the PSP game) though. I should pick em up on the cheap at some point....
