Hi everyone
I’m Thach Quach, European Software Product Manager for God of War III.
I hope you guys are all excited about what you’ve seen or read about this highly-anticipated PlayStation 3 exclusive. If not, you should, it’s going to be an epic, pulse-pounding and brutal adventure
.
For those of you who haven’t had the chance to play the God of War III demo which was on the show floor at E3, Gamescom, Tokyo Game Show and other SCEE events throughout 2009… well… some GREAT news for you: we will be emailing out some demo voucher codes to a selected number of PAL PSN users who registered to receive the SCEE promotional newsletter. If you haven’t opted-in to receive it, it’s unfortunately too late to be in with a chance to be picked for this promotion, but it’s worth you registering today to be considered for future SCEE offers (simply go to the PlayStation Network icon on the XMB, select Account Management => Account Information => => Notification Preferences, and tick the relevant boxes).
Make sure you check your email inbox over the weekend and hopefully you will be one of the lucky ones to receive a voucher code allowing you to download this demo instantly from PlayStation Store! Remember, it’s a random selection and only a limited amount of vouchers are being sent out so good luck
And if you still haven’t heard about Kratos or seen anything about God of War III, here is a trailer we released earlier this year:
I also wanted to update you on the ‘God of War III Ultimate Edition’ which was announced for the North American market by SCEA. No need to panic guys, we are not forgetting you! We will also announce the Special/Collector’s Edition and extensive pre-order plans in place for the PAL region. So watch this space, you won’t be disappointed for sure
That’s it for now… For those of you who haven’t seen them, below is a selection of God of War III screenshots we released not so long ago.
Any comments or questions let me know and remember to check your inbox this weekend. Enjoy the demo if you are one of the lucky ones to receive it!
Thach

I ticked the first option from the very beginning and not the “from the partner of Sony and stuff”… hope that will do it.
Please… I’m dying to play GOW3 I even preordered my GOW:Collection from the States ^^ Hope to receive the code!!

Played a demo of Gods of war 3 today at the Eurogamer Expo in London and it is simply amazing, would love to play it at my own leisure.

Any news on the GoW collection you can give us yet? The US almost has it and we still have not even seen a peep about it, bloody UK/EU users being let down again, last to get everything. Why are we always treated like second class citizens?

Thach, I tried adding you on PSN mate but you haven’t replied. (It is Thach on PSN too yes?)
Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 4:16 pm by Thach Quach
Hi Raider 197. Sorry, I need to accept quite a few invites actually, will do so soon hopefully

I have changed my email for my PSN accounts a few times, would this affect my chance of being chosen?

@ wing126, yes I did read the post, in my comment I was referring to the God of War Collection i.e. the God of War I and God of War II remastered editions.
The blog post is referring to plans for the Special/Collectors Edition of God of War III given that on the US Blog they’ve just announced the Ultimate Edition of God of War III which includes a ton of bonus download content and a cool looking replica of Pandora’s Box. It mentions nothing about if/when the EU will be getting the God of War Collection…

Hi, I hope you guys consider making an Ultimate Collectors Edition including Gow I, Gow II and Gow III for Europe, that would be really sweet. (Especially since we didn’t get GoW collections.)
Please tell me we will get an special edition including all games! I’ve played GoW I and II on my PS2 and they were awesome, I’d love to relive them on my PS3.
Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 4:14 pm by Thach Quach
Hi Polypinoon. Thanks for the suggestion, we’ll bear this in mind!

No time to read all the comments so:
Is the European Ultimate box the same as the USA Ultimate box?
60
Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 3:59 pm by VonBraunschweigg
Well, I’m from Europe, I’m a fan of the series & I got the relevant boxes ticked, and all I got to say is
THY SHALL NOT ABUSE THE GOD OF WAR FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES such as signing up for newsletters, especially when those newsletters FAIL TO MENTION A PROPER RELEASEDATE FOR THE GOD OF WAR COLLECTION IN EUROPE!
There, I said it. Now respond to that Sashquatch, I know you’re not responsible for this random madness but give it a shot will ya? And a tip for releasing 18+ games in the PAL territories: skip the localization, nobody wants that.
61
Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 4:11 pm by Thach Quach
Hi Guys. As per my blog post, we will announce our GOWIII Ultimate Edition and pre-order plans for PAL later on. The same goes for the God of War Collection. Please bear with me on this, we won’t let you down
62
Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 4:21 pm by Raider197
Thank you Thach!

Would you know if changing my emails for my PSN account would affect my chances of being chosen?
Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 4:37 pm by Thach Quach
Hi Jackkz. If you’ve registered to the SCEE PSN promotional newsletter prior to this announcement then you’re in with a chance to receive the demo:)

nice one!
i hope i get one, im a big GOW fan
65
Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 4:25 pm by funnydude6556
Oh come the f*** on you hardly ever do this! One fricken blue moon and i still don’t get the demo code even when just about everyone else does, how about for ounce you and the other develpors actually host one of these events in fricken england becasue there is no way in hell i’m getting to zeplig or japan just to see new video games,
sometimes i think you guys just do this stuff to pi** people off.
66
Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 4:43 pm by Jackkz
Cheers mate. Thank you. & I’ve added you on PSN, let’s do some uncharted some time
67
Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 4:47 pm by VonBraunschweigg
Thanx for your reply, but I’m afraid that’s not good enough Thach, you see, there’s a few million fans over here in #1 fanbase Europe, and instead of having us checking for ticked boxes it should be Sony that tickes-em correct. Wait, I’ll draw you a picture:
Wrong:
Release God of War III demo this November
[ ] EU PSN
[X] JPN PSN
[X] US PSN
Correct:
Release God of War III demo this November
[X] EU PSN
[X] JPN PSN
[X] US PSN
You see? The first is bad news for Europeans, using the 2nd diagram makes everybody happy. So, on behalf of all the people here, please GET ON THE PHONE to Tokyo, Santa Monica or whatever AND GET SOMEBODY TO TICK THAT BOX please, and let us know the outcome. Fixing this will get you screentime Thach, we’re counting on you=)

Awesome news, thank you so much!
God of War 3 will be amazing.
Good job.

Thach can you give us a confirmation that we EVER see a GoW:Collection in Europe?
70
Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 4:57 pm by parker-94
Really looking forward to GOW3 and GOW: Collection, I hope I get selected to receive a code!
I’ll keep my fingers crossed
71
Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 4:57 pm by LockIeys
Croopnick_PL, we get the Collection next year.
Anyway, I’m really looking forward to this game. Let’s hope they send a few thousand out.
72
Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 4:59 pm by bravo9zero
@68
GOW:Collection will be released in Europe in 2010, March I believe.
SCEE(Or Santa Monica I dunno) where too laze to localize the game in time for EU this year..
73
Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 5:01 pm by tbisley
That’s rubbish
74
Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 5:02 pm by bravo9zero
*Lazy
Need a edit button
75
Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 5:04 pm by HazelAM
no, you aren’t letting us down, not unless we actually want to know when or even if we’re getting the gow collection.
and what a stupid way of releasing demos, what, you worried about running out of copies or something?
top job scee, top job.
76
Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 5:05 pm by VonBraunschweigg
Better yet, since the lucky ones are going to download it from the EU Store this weekend anyway, what about we forget about all those boxes and just release the damn thing worlwide, unboxed or out of the box with no boxes needed, boxfree so to speak with access for everyone. This exclusive BS reminds me of a whole different Box.
77
Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 5:09 pm by tbisley
To get this demo you need to have ticked a box or buy a blu-ray film. I’m sorry, but your not on! Totally sucks!
78
Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 5:10 pm by DarK_EviL
OMG I want a demo code ;_;
We’ll see it’s about luck…
79
Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 5:10 pm by HazelAM
and while we’ve got somebody from scee here i’m going to tell them to get their QA department to hurry up with dragon age, do you want people to buy the pc or 360 versions?
because that’s exactly what these constant scee delays are encouraging.
about the only thing scee have exclusivity on is delays these days, how many times are games only delayed when scee are involved, well add one more to the, very long, list.
80
Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 5:11 pm by bravo9zero
Guys stop complaining, be grateful there giving you a chance too play GOW3 demo in October!
Game doesn’t come out till March 2010 people..
81
Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 5:12 pm by HazelAM
dark evil, if we had any luck we’ve have a decent company providing us content, but we have scee.

@funnydude6556
Try EuroGamer Expo in future. Just finished in Leeds and heading to London this weekend. There are opportunities if you get out there and look for them, rather than expecting them to be handed to you.
As for the rest of your diatribe, I am not sure what you’re getting at. It sounds as if you are feeling victimised because you haven’t signed up for Sony’s marketing emails. Well, Sony are obviously keen to get interest in the emails, and this is no doubt the first of many that will happen. Expect other games to get the same treatment.
83
Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 5:13 pm by HazelAM
that’s march 2010 in the us.

Hope I get email really excited for this game
87
Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 5:19 pm by HazelAM
wanted to go to the eg expo but couldn’t get out to it, shame as i haven’t been to a decent games show in years, last one was in 2004 i think.
queued for two hours to play halo 2 that day, good god my feet were aching when i got home.

Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 5:25 pm by Skookie30
hi thach i think i tick both boxs on my 1st ps3, i would die of KRATOS on my HDD cool.
1 question: is the U-Edition got god of war-1, god of war-2 as well as GOW-3 for the ppl that not got it.
thanks “love & kisses from me”
ps the last bit ( ” ) is a jk lol.

Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 5:28 pm by Munkeh111
Thanks for the answers. Judging by the sales, you certainly did a good job marketing Uncharted 2

Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 5:40 pm by hjm50
I can’t wait for this game, really got high hopes for the demo.
91
Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 5:52 pm by Vodka7up
I’m certainly glad that the ultimate edition will get to Europe, i just hope that we don’t get an exchange rate of 1$ = 1€ like we have been getting for, say, PSPgo or PS3 Slim.
As for the demo, it is in fact pretty sweet that its being released, but when the factor to get it is sheer luck, i think players will indeed feel discriminated. I mean there will be thousands of players in the exact same situation but some will be playing the demo (and probably telling everyone how great it is) while the others will be just acking and not being able to do nothing at all about it.
That said, and getting back to the ultimate edition, it is in fact a pretty sweet deal, and i will most definitively get it.

Posted on 30 October, 2009 at 5:54 pm by redeyedspawn
well just checked and at least I was opted in. now just play the waiting game and see if I get a code.
