Sony director of development John Hight confirmed today that God of War 3 is complete and that the developers have moved on to beta-testing the game.
“We just made beta with the game so we’re doing a lot of play-testing, tuning the game to make sure that it’s fun, got the right level of complexity and of course optimised so that it runs super-smooth,” said Hight.
