'God Of War 2' For Playstation 2
There was a leaked Sony Marketing document posted at Eurogamer last month outlining several new PS2 and PSP titles including Gran Turismo 4 Online, Killzone Liberation for PSP as well as GoW2 for the PS2. Sony quickly had the article taken down but the new issue of Game Informer breaks the exclusive on God Of War 2.
Some low res scans... Scheduled for a February 2007 release in the US.
Jam it back in, in the dark.

Nice! I loved the first game. Here's hoping they make it a bit longer this time though. I completed the first one in about 3 sittings.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Why schedule it for 2007 and release it for lastgen (PS2)?
I think it ran on a bit too long the first time... Besides, after fighting the Hydra at the very beginning, the game got less and less interesting, even though it was fun all the way through. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
The first GoW is one of the best action games ever made, period. Here's hoping they can stay on target with numero dos.
How ya doing, buddy? |
I was speaking idiomatically. |
Sounds and looks interesting, but I wasn't at all very impressed with God of War. The combat system felt limiting and (I don't mean to sound like a huge fanboy, beyond the fact...) slower than what I was used to with Devil May Cry. There was nothing revolutionary or specially innovative about the gameplay. In addition, the Greek mythology thing just seems kind of worn out. Kratos' badass/emo attitude annoyed me.
That aside, I hope they improve the combo system. While there is variety in his moves, everything felt loose and a bit unresponsive. I'd like to give the game another try, but it's not on the top of my list of "must play" games. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |

What makes me REALLY, REALLY happy is the fact that its being released next year instead of this year. Usually developers face tough deadlines and have to come out with a final product in less than a year. The fact that they're getting a little more time can only be a good thing.
Although it is a little too early to be revealing any information, don't you think? People are going to get hyped and hyped. SCEA's pulling a Square Enix on us. FELIPE NO |
I still have yet to beat the first one. I'm defenitely going to get this game when it comes out. By what i'm seeing, it looks great.
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
I hope the story is as good in this one. I could have sworn they were going to go with another story though (see GoW extras after you beat the game to know what im talking about)
How ya doing, buddy? |
I recently beat the first GOW and was definitely impressed. I really didn't think that it was going to live up to the hype, but it was pretty awesome. The only thing about the GOW that I really didn't like was the character design on Kratos. He's a cool character, but he looks like a rip off of quan chi from the MK games. Can't wait for more GOW action.

I hope that Dave Jaffe has a finger or two in the development. I would really hate this to be nothing more than a cash cow. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
and it seems he was working on some untitled PSP game and not GoW2...this doesnt mean he may not be "supervising" or anythign..but GoW2 seems more like a cash cow now =(. I still wanna know how the story is gonna pan out though...GoW had a definite ending and I was thoroughly satisfied..too bad Sony cant end things were their supposed to end anymore =( I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
If God of War 2 is anything like the original then I will definitely buy it. I just hope they don't end up having screens and screens of combos and moves to learn. The first game was really good, the only part of it which really slowed down was finding pandora's box. I still find greek mythology really interesting. How ya doing, buddy? |
Wtf the new issue of gameinformer is out already? Shit they always send it late to me, even tho they release it early in the month.

I'm glad that Sony's still going to support the PS2 post-PS3 launch, unlike Microsoft's lack of Xbox support post-360.
Even still....God of War in high-def would be really sweet, especially with the PS3 graphics, first-generation or not. You'd think Kratos was bloodlusting after your own head! And Enter, God of War was a pretty big seller, big enough to get on the Greatest Hits list. Besides, with all the recognition it's received, there was no doubt there'd be a sequel. I think Sony has a strategy for releasing it on the PS2, but it's one that comes with a grim reminder of the looming PS3 price tag. God of War 2 will likely sell more on the PS2 because not many people will have a PS3 at launch, if it's anything like the 360's launch. Plus, if the system does come out of the gate with a hefty price tag, that could delay major sales even longer, in spite of what games are released. Releasing it on the PS2 would allow Sony to continue to bring in profits while falling behind on the PS3's profit-loss. I think they see this as a counterweight to that problem. Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's surprising that the game is for PS2 and not PS3. It could easily have been used to "sell" the PS3 as a killer app. Anyways, I'm glad, this way I'll definitely be able to play it. :biggrin:

Afterall Final Fantasy IX being released on or shortly after the launch of the PS2 in the US didn't hurt it's sales which sold over a million copies. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Simo:When you come across high res scans,post them too.I want to read details.
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
What's gonna hurt the sales more? Releasing it on PS3 with a small group of people who own the system, or releasing it on the PS2 where there's still a huge audience wanting to play their favorite game, while waiting for the PS3's price to drop? And if God of War isn't a mega seller, explain to me why it's a Greatest Hit now. There's just so much I could shoot down in your post... The XBOX 360 is out, they're still releasing games for the XBOX. You still have a huge crowd of people who own an XBOX. Why let a good system fall when your last gen system could still do just as well as your current gen. You're a complete idiot thinking people would stop buying PS2 games because the PS3 is out. Not everyone owns a PS3 yet. I know i'm repeating details, but live with me. I needed to rant. I was speaking idiomatically. |
As long as it continues the greatness of the first game, this will be another great must have game for my collection.

Hooray! =D I loved GoWI. But my PS2 memory card shitcanned for some reason shortly before the final battle. Could someone divulge the ending to me in spoilers?
