Kratos Cuts Out Load Times With Blades of Chaos
Only a few weeks left until what is turning out to be the most anticipated game yet will arrive on the PS3. However, the massive amount of space God Of War III will eat up on a single dual-layer Blu-Ray disc has some fans wondering if Kratos latest will be spoiled by lengthy load times.
Fear not, as God Of War III will not feature any loading times… absolutely none. The news may come as a surprise to some after the game’s Blu-Ray usage was revealed. Christer Ericson, Director of Technology at Sony Santa Monica Studio confirmed the exciting news for fans via his twitter.
And since people asked: #GoW3 has seamless loading. No install, followed by 10+ hours of play uninterrupted by load screens!
10 hours of ripping monster heads off sounds very intriguing, especially with no interruptions what so ever. Another piece of news which should make God Of War fans occupied till the release, is Geoff Keighley confirming a God Of War filled episode to be featured on GTTV this week, including one of Kratos’ fierce enemies; Kronos. And if that isn’t enough… recently, the God Of War III back cover was unveiled which featured some interesting information.
The last tale in the Greek mythology-based trilogy will arrive on March 16th.

finnaly! After heavy rain and bioshock 4-5GB install base it’s good to hear about a game that dosen’t require me to get an upgrade just so I can play the damn game.
I love you Sony! This is amazing news! This alone shoots it up to the top of the Game of the Year contention, though of course it probably would have been anyway. A gaming experience without interruptions is a rare thing in this generation. Oh the beauties of blu-ray…
sweet, like Uncharted 2. It makes the game feel so much better when its un-interupted.
God of War never really had no load times so this is not a suprise
No doubt about it. God of War III will be the Game of The Year!!!
F*ck xbox
so much news about GOW3!!!!ahhhhh i cant take it anymore./…this will be nice i did notice no loads in uc2 and it def. made the game feel great…this will also be a great experience
dbigfeet – games have changed a lot since the last two God of War games. There used to be a time when no game had load times. With the size and compression of data on discs these days most games need load times in order to compile all of the data. That is why this is such a big deal and why it is news even with God of War.
2 go along with giese- and even bigger news considering how much space GOW3 takes up compared to other ps3 titles
GOTY contender
@giese095 – you mean decompress the data not compile the data, they are two different things…compiling takes much longer.
wonder how he used his blades of chaos to achieve this feat.
