David Jaffe on God of War III: “I thought Gears of War 2 looked about as good as a next-gen game could look,”

David Jaffe is not involved in the development of God of War III, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t seen anything. A new post on his personal blog shows us his thoughts on the game, which make the game seem pretty unbelievable. “It looks like a painting come to life,” Jaffe stated. Hit the jump for his full statement.

“ps. I saw GOD OF WAR III when I was in Santa Monica last week. I can and will not give away details. But I think it’s ok for me to say two things:

a- HOLY HOLY HOLY FUCKING HELL!

b- I thought GEARS OF WARS 2 looked about as good as a next-gen game could look… and that game is currently- and will probably remain- my game of the year. And hell, I think I actually get to vote on that kind of stuff in some circles :) And unless I get blown away by POP or something else I missed, GEARS 2 is the SHIT… this year. Dudes and dudettes, fucking WAIT till you see the amazing graphics… just fucking wait. And yes, Xbots, accuse me all you want of being a Sony fanboy. Just remember two things:

#1- I just said GEARS 2 is the BEST fucking playing and looking game of the year… better than any PS3 game. And there are some damn good PS3 games, I feel.

#2- FUCK YOU! I ain’t no fan boy but this mother fucking game looks like nothing you’ve ever played… and you can hold me to that when this thing hits and when they start showing gameplay footage. It looks like a painting come to life- it’s THAT good looking.

David”

Now I’m excited.
