[블라스]

This game is going to the Ps2.

 

[Spidey17]

If that's true then you rock because you are omniscient! Now tell me who wins the NBA Finals this year!!!

 

[블라스]

The Bears!!!

 

[Spidey17]

I'm gonna pretend you didn't say that and give you one more chance. All I want to do is make some safe, illegal bets. That's what America's all about right?

 

[블라스]

Right!
Umm....the Pirates?

Man, Kratos is a badass no matter what system he's on! If he's can do all this on the PSP, I can't wait for some PS3 information!!! I would kill GFreeman for some screenshots. I'd only maim WHF.t:

This game is going to the Ps2.

Yeah? Awesome! I'll get it on there then.

 

[Electro UK]

Its only a rumor, but hopefully it will happen. I'm waiting for the awesome Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters on PS2.

It actually makes sense for Sony to port its 1st party PSP games to the PS2. Its not like the PS2 is getting any A titles anymore. Giving it PSP games helps extends its like and boosts sales. Its a cheap way to make money as most of the work is already done since a PSP's programming is so much like a PS2. They just brought over Twisted Metal Head On with extra content so lets hope they do that with their other games. Theres absolutely no reason why they shouldnt port it sometime later this year or a year after its PSP's release

Exactly. The PS2 is gonna have one heck of a year really with this, Ratchet and Clank, Silent Hill Origins (maybe), and Call of Duty 5. Plus all the Japanese RPGs that are released every 5 seconds.

Speaking of JRPG's, has anyone played Odin Sphere or Persona 3? I might buy both and I just wondered if anyone has played either one. My PS2 is still going strong, even if I don't buy those two, I have Okami, Bully, Shaow of the Colossus, Going Commando, Up your Arsenal, and Bully to look forward to. Maybe even Onimusha 3: Demon Siege, since I started Onimusha with Dawn of Dreams, and I thought that game was great.

Hells Yeah!!! GOW4 should have a foursome though, threesomes are getting old. How many franchises can you say that about? And I like how this is the first guy who's played GOW for the onlines videos who doesn't suck ass. For the first two whoever played had no idea there was even a triangle button, much less arial attacks. I guess we can rule out Barlog on these.t:

 

[Bubonic]

I hope this game will make it to the PS2, I can't get enough of Kratos, and I doubt I'll be buying a PS3 in time for the 3rd God of War.

IGN review - 9.4

In true modern day gaming, its only 7 hours though.

Still, Silent Hill Origins took me 5 but it actually felt like a lot longer.

THAT'S AWESOME, THANKS ELECTRO!!!up: THE LENGTH OF THE GAME DOESN'T REALLY BOTHER ME, I JUDGE A GAME ON ITS ARTISTIC QUALITY, NOT ON IT'S LENGTH, IF IT'S A GREAT GAME, THEN IT'S LONG ENOUGH!!!up:

 

[Spidey17]

Seven hours of awesomeness is better than twelve hours of mediocratiy, so it's whatever. With GOW I play through multiple times cuz of the costumes anyways. The first one I could only use the Ares armor, because the others were just too nuts. I wanted to play as the Lawyer of War, but the briefcases has some collision issues with his back, so I didn't. GOWII I plan on playing as every skin, though. Does anyone know if you can actually start a new game with a secret costume but without any of your powers or upgrades? From what I saw that's impossible.

And also, please put a SPOILER tag when it comes to the story, but I'd love to hear a little bit about the "useful" new weapon.


P.S. Just reading some of the reviews, everyone say seven hours but this guy: http://www.psxextreme.com/psp-reviews/124.html. He says twenty, so I guess he was a little high. This guy agrees with everyone(http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3166395), but he has more of my viewpoint in that he says he's logged twenty-five hours, cuz he's beaten it on normal and god, and with a different costume. He maybe even beat the Challenge of Hades. From what I've read the Gauntlet of Zues(GoZ) is a great complement to the BoC, and I hope Santa Monica jacks it for GOWIII. It reminds me alot of Hellboy, but that's definitely a good thing. It's not like the Sword of Olympus was big on power, just stronger, and when powered up, way more range.

Oh, and one quick question: if the three weapons I managed made it in plus one I left out, what would you guys pick? I guess I'd have to say the Spear, because it was decent for crowd control.

New GOW PSP Bundle


I am very tempted to get this.

Especially because of the sweet looking Kratos on the back.

The bundle looks good but I dont like the red color

 

[TLH]

Can't wait for this game! I'm pretty sure Gamespot will give it either 9.0 or 9.5

For some reason though, Gamespot changed their rating system to incriments of .5 (so a game can't get 9.3 or something like that). Which is wierd, because a lot of games can be better than 8.0 but not an 8.5

 

[Ice-man]

He throws those chains back with force!

I loved God of War 1

however God of War 2 was meh, I might sell it.

Completely agree, There was too much going on in God of war II, it felt cluttered.


But god of war 3 will be epic, blu ray makes for longer story, and better visuals.

Its only a rumor, but hopefully it will happen. I'm waiting for the awesome Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters on PS2.

I don't think it was a rumor, Ive read on a few lagit sites and magazines that its confirmed for a ps2 release sometime shortly after it hits for psp.

since i lost my charger for my psp and am too lazy to buy a new one i may just get it for ps2.
