My girlfriend loves to watch too. She actually finished Chains of Olympus - her first completed videogame experience. She's working her way through GoW 1. Hydras scare her.

Your girlfriend finished Chains of Olympus? That game is pretty damn hard...maybe I need smaller hands.
I beat GoW a few months ago then bought GoW2, I'm within 30 minutes of beating it but don't want to yet. MGO Beta is too time consuming anyway.

The only possible way GoW can work for online is co-op. Dueling would prove to be very tedious online unless they change GoW's gameplay.

I know this is rumor and there's no solid evidence that this even applies to GoW3, but if it were true...it'd be might interesting. The previous installments have a distant camera, which would aid in co-op play. The gameplay mechanics (Blades of Chaos in particular) favor single player with their wide hit radius. Of course if you ramp up the number of enemies onscreen you could compensate for that. Of course increasing enemy volume is a must if you're talking co-op. Two player QTE events? Double team moves/kills? They could pull an Insomniac move and make two seperate experiences (single and co-op). Co-op would definitely bring even more people to the game, since 1) most of the multi-million selling games have strong multiplayer tie-ins, and 2) it'd be the only co-op action/beat-em up on a next-gen platform. If done well of course. But then its all just a rumor. Interesting, very interesting indeed.

Call me a traditionalist but I think that online competitive multiplar or co-op would be a terrible idea - I want them to concentrate their efforts on making the best singleplayer experience evverr.

Thats exactly what I came here to post. I think people are becoming so obsessed with online play that they end up losing the demographic of people who enjoy playing games by themselves.
Don't get me wrong I play some online games but I'd rather God of War have an epic single player game.

For some reason when people hear online they are thinking deathmatch, team deathmatch and other things in that nature, I don't that is the case here, it might just be co-op, that is the logical assumption if there is going to be an online component.

Online GOWIII would involve 2 different modes:
1) A simple head-to-head fighting mode to have fun killing your buddies
2) A near MMO mode set in the GOW universe. You create different classes of characters that grow over time/experience in both strength and abilities (MGO type stuff). But the missions are cooperative against AI game enemies (though you can play skirmish matches against other players too).
Okay, here's what I mean...Let's say the GOWIII game ends with sort of cliff-hanger or open-ended finish. The Online game, then, is a WoW-style game where you and other online players join forces in huge group battles (think WoW Raid dungeons) and kill massive bosses until you eventually can take down the Big Bad himself. It's like another entire game (GOWIII pt. 2) but instead of a single-player game is a multiplayer online game that focuses on group play and allows you to create a more versatile character.
I realize that this is a total wet dream, but it sure would be fun. I'd play this for hundreds of hours.

Online co-op would be epic.
Hopefully it's co-op, as I can't imagine a head-to-head mode in this game that would end up being anything more than a something people would try once and move on from.

Whos up for a 32 man God of War deathmatch with blood spilled, torsos torn and limbs ripped? I think I can see Jack Thompson's biggest nightmare.

I can already see the headlines on the Newspaper over these
"10 year old boy mutilates his friends on school. He said -but I do this on GOW all the time!!! And he owed me 10 cents-"
