Expectations for God of War III are high, and the game's director Stig Asmussen has some tough shoes to fill, including those of David Jaffe's, creative mind behind not only the original God of War title but also the Twisted Metal franchise.  And if that alone wasn't enough, Asmussen has only worked on two games previously - in the art department for the first two God of War titles.

However, that isn't holding back Asmussen's ambition.  "We want this to be the game that shows people what the PS3 can do," said Asmussen in a recent interview, in regards to God of War III.  "Dave [Jaffe] created the series, Cory [Balrog] pushed it even further.  Those two have set the whole thing up with so many rich, incredible ideas."

"My goal is to make this the best God of War game," Assmusen trumpeted "You're going to see a lot of things we weren't able to do in the past that we thought would be natural to the gameplay and the experience."

Whether God of War III will live up to it's predecessors won't be seen until it's launch.  However, from the early bits that we've seen, it looks like it should.  Check out the the latest scans for this info and more on the title.
