Game Director Stig Asmussen took a few minutes to talk about the finer details of God of War III during E3 2009, and walked us through a full half-hour demo of the game.

During the God of War III breakout at E3, Stig Asmussen provided some quick facts as we watched on as another team member played through the demo. The demo starts off in a ransacked Olympia, as Kratos fights his way through hordes of undead soldiers while the titan Perses and Helios fight it out in the background.

"Helios and the Titan of destruction Perses have this ongoing 'beef' with each other, and in this section their fighting is more of a backdrop to what Kratos is doing; Kratos will have some interaction with them, but what we're really trying to do is drive home the fact that no, they really don't like each other."

"Basically the way it's set up right now is that you get three stabs while riding, which will help you in steering the harpy in the direction you want. On the third stab, you have a window where you can jump to another harpy before it falls. Also, you'll notice the harpy design has changed; the way we work on God of War is that the design is a continual 'massaging' process; I imagine that everything you see here in this demo will be dramatically different in the final game."
