David Jaffe has been very vocal about how amazing God of War III, the latest entry in the series he helped create, will look when it arrives. When the first footage was shown at the Spike VGAs, to say I was underwhelmed would be an understatement. Don't get me wrong, when all is said and done, I think GoWIII will be a GOTY contender, but right now... let's just hope they're still working hard on the look. Perhaps it was my high expectations thanks to Jaffe's rantings. After the footage was shown, the man behind the god felt the need to speak his mind once more.

And to give you an idea, the stuff I saw that I raved about looked about 25-30% better than... the Spike footage played on HD. If that’s not exciting and cool enough for you, fair enough. It happened to blow me away and remains the best looking console game I’ve ever seen…beyond Gears 2 which so far is the best looking console game ever released.

I'd personally like to know how something can look a percentage better. It either looks better or it doesn't. Sure, Jaffe likes to shoot his mouth off about a lot of things, and I generally like him, but there's a time when a man should realize when he needs to stop digging himself into a hole. This is that time. In fact, since Jaffe wants to break things down in percentages, we here at Gamervision are putting together a crack scientific team to compare how much better this phantom footage looks. We'll measure it down to the hundred-thousandth decimal if we need to. You can bet our results will be 100% accurate, which is 5-7% more accurate than standard ocular perception allows normal people to comprehend things, but only 3-4% more accurate than the occipital capacity of people with night terrors. Think about it.
