God of War III Director, Stig Asmussen has told Destructoid that Santa Monica’s latest effort in the franchise only uses between 50 and 60 percent of PS3’s power.
Amazing.
“Well, I think our studio will use this engine again,” he said, “and it’ll get better. And I think we’re probably about 50- or 60-percent at it right now. I think there’s a lot more we can do with it.”
So with all this power left and the game looking as good as it is already, which areas need work?
“I think individually our animations are incredible,” he Asmussen continued, “and our animators are incredibly talented. But I think we could make our system technically better, in the way we blend animations. And I’m pretty sure that we already have the code to do that, and we just didn’t implement it in God of War III because it came in real late.”
The mammoth game will be out this coming Tuesday.
