GoW 2 completed.
Finished it, in like 2.5 days. Like 11 hours of gameplay.
So cutscenes are way more consistent in GoW II. They all seemed to be roughly the same quality, unlike the ones in GoW I. Gameplay was pretty similar to GoW 1. Really great stuff.
Started GoW 3. Holy crud this game looks good.
I think I totally overestimated the remasters. I thought that GoW 1 and 2 were awesome remasters that weren't too far off from being like an early PS3 game, but GoW 3 practically still looks a generation better. The scale is monstrous, and the details are just as impressive. This game is insane.
So far GoW 3 feels like the earlier games, with like a generation of improvement. It's not just better detail, it's also a wealth more of special effects.
GoW 3 is just a monstrous jump, even over the remasters.
