God of War: Chains of Olympus to use PSP's max speed - Image 1 


And so be it. From the developers that foretold the "Future of the PSP," God of War: Chains of Olympus will be taking full advantage of the extra processing power they can squeeze out of the PSP, opening up an avenue for more high-powered games on Sony's handheld.

Previously, Ready at Dawn hoped that Sony would "bump up the CPU clock to 333 MHz" while giving them enough tools and engines to drown themselves in. Creating great games has been Ready at Dawn's specialty. From Daxter to Chains of Olympus, they've had toyed long enough on the PSP to know how it works, how to open up new opportunities and how to deliver incomparable graphics on a small, 16:9 profiled screen. Ready at Dawn Studios' Cory Barlog blogged:

Every time I see a new build I am more amazed with what weÂ’re able to pull off with the PSP. I mean, 1080p on the PSP...who would have freaking thought??? Ok so that is wholly untrue, it does look amazing. I feel confident in saying that we (and when I say we, I mean Ready at Dawn since they are doing the bulk of the work) are nailing the look and feel of God of War for the PSP. If everything goes according to plan then this will be a must-have game in your PSP library.


Affirming what he previously stated, perhaps Chains of Olympus would definitely "melt Thompson's hard crunchy exterior" after a good five minutes of game time. Although these developments say a lot about what they've got prepared for the PSP version of God of War, Barlog claims that fans better wait for the game's unfolding at the upcoming E3 event.

Wrong

Apparently the demo that was shown earlier was running on the old processing speed. Kotaku updated their posting.

By the way guys sign up now for xpango.com and get free stuff like PS3 Xbox 360 Wii PSP and DS. It's true guys it works When you guys sign up use this referral ID 90494488. By the way this Id is cracked and gives the user 50 credits when they sign up. To get a next gen console you need less than that to get it. The referral ID again is 90494488.

WTF!?!?

Even then using 333MHz, wont it just fry your PSP after playing like more than 3 hours? Since GoW is really addictive.

333mhz

my psp is alwys in 333mhz and yes the psp does heat up. But the psp will only heat up and nothing else will happen even if you play for 20 hours.

Maybe 1080p in the future

Maybe Sony will make a PSP2 with 1080p in the future. Technology improves all the time.

DS SUCKS

THE DUMB DS SUCKS, ALL PEOPLE THAT SAY DS LITE IS BETTER SAY THAT BECAUSE DS's PRICE is 20 BUCKS LESS... BUT EVEN IF THE PSP COST MORE, IF YOU WOULD BUY WIFI/BROWSER/SD CARD/MUSIC-PLAYER AND ALL OTHER FEATURES THAT THE PSP HAVE AND DS NOT, YOU'LL COME MUCH HIGER THAN 170
