Sony counting down to new God of War announcement?

Posted Mar 18, 2010 at 9:14PM EST by Mabie A.

Listed in: PSP, PS3 Tags: god of war, Sony

Could there be another God of War game in the works, just waiting in the wings for its grand entrance? It appears that that may just be the case. To see the proof, you're gonna hoave to unlock the Platinum Trophy in God of War III. Or you can just read the details below.

gowplatinum

GamersMint reports that upon unlocking the Platinum Trophy, a website is included in the Trophy information, www.spartansstandtall.com. Heading to the site itself, you will be greeted by heavy rain pouring down the screen, with the occassional ominous thunder.

On the top right of the screen is what appears to be a symbol or a clock, with a Greek , an inverted V, smack in the middle. A quarter of the outer circle of the symbol is shaded red, and it's safe to presume it alludes to blood filling it up until the time's up.

Further research points to the meaning of the inverted V, which actually is the Greek letter "L", coming from the word “Λακεδαιμόνιοι” (lakethemonihi). This only happens to be the Spartans called themselves. Another definition of the symbol is that it means "Two."

So, could this be a part 2 of something? Chains of Olympus, maybe? Feel free to check out the Spartans Stand Tall yourself. In the meantime, just keep guessing.

Yes you are quite right. I also think that if this game was released on the XBOX 360 that it would be less of a bore. I have heard rumores, although it will never come to the XBOX 360, if Microsoft had secured the game it would of had exclusive DLC! Such a shame they wasted it on PS3. But then again like you said "God of Bore".

You spouted the same things on another GOW story. You have not heard rumors, and the 360 can't handle that kind of game just because of the 35gb size. The devs said that they will probably release content that got cut because of time restraints, for free. how much more exclusive can you get? jesus, 360 fanboys are really annoying aren't they?

Based on interviews they said there probably won't be another game based on Kratos, but they want to expand on the GOW universe.

they think they know about GoW because they got to play Dante's Inferno!, so dont be too hard on em, they cant help it if they listened to rumors and chose 360 instead of ps3

+2 # GTFO FANBOY!I — moviefan 2010-03-19 11:07

Seriously are you that naive? The game would loose the one thing it has going for it in your opinion on the xbox, the graphics due to having to be on dvd9, that or it would be on 4 discs or something. Also you do realize they can have down-loadable content on the PSN. Microsoft just makes a faulty console, i have every console this gen and i like the 360 but i also fear the thing red ringing ever waking second i play it.

Honestly i dont know why you would even by an 360 now due to the price difference, save up for a ps3 and odds are you wont be having to use customer service any time soon if you take care of it unlike the 360. Sure the 360 has more games but most games are multi-console now any way so why not just buy the console that will be less troublesome in the long run.

I will never understand if the next xbox will sell well considering all the hardware issues they had and continue to have because of the first several models of the console. PS i was an early adopter, i have one of the first wave 360's which hasn't red ringed and ive myself payed for all my consoles except for the wii which my mom got bored of and i took lol.

# RE: GTFO FANBOY!I — But Fukir 2010-03-19 11:26

One thing the 360 does have going for it is its hacked. Although that wasn't ms' bright idea of course.

# RE: RE: GTFO FANBOY!I — Guest 2010-03-19 23:18

Aparently it was Microsofts idea to enable the console to be hacked, and I for one believe this was a great move by Microsoft, Well Done Microsoft, Well Done Indeed!!

# RE: RE: RE: GTFO FANBOY!I — MangoScango 2010-03-20 19:16

Except that MS needs to sell games to get a profit, since they sell the console on a loss.

moron

+1 # RE: RE: God of Bore is more like it — Guest 2010-03-19 11:26

How exactly is a game more interesting because it's on one system over another? The story and gameplay would be the same on both, since they both have extremely similar capabilities and controllers.

+2 # GoW for 360???? — Guest 2010-03-19 13:33

How has no one posted about the fact that Sony owns Santa Monica Studio? To rephrase a post from another GoW 3 thread, "That would be like Halo 3 on the PS3." Now to add my own content to it.

That would be like Halo 3 on PS3. Except we all know that the PS3 could have made it look better.

Not a hater to Halo 3 (I enjoy its multiplayer, but it still gets old.)

Also the Halo series is being worn out.

I wish to apologize now for getting off topic and on to talking about Halo 3.

# agreed — senz 2010-03-19 22:27

God of War series is a Sony owned franchise, i cant think of any games Sony owns that is on the Xbox360, like wise with Microsoft for the PS3.

I highly doubt Sony would put a popular owned game title on Microsoft's Xbox360, this would only help boost their competitors console sales if they did, i don't think Sony would like that.

-2 # DLC perhaps not sure? — Guest 2010-03-19 06:13

??? Not sure what to think of this DLC perhaps I hope so they need to add COOP in GOW 3 lol.. Just something new.

+3 # RE: God of Bore is more like it — Guest 2010-03-19 00:17

The games aren't that boring if you play on an appropriate difficulty.

I played through both 1 and 2 (yeah, that was a friggin' nightmare) on the hardest setting, so when I played the demo for 3 I was bored silly because it barely posed a challenge.

I for one, would like this series to quietly be tucked away. Too many games turn into a series that drags on for way too long. Some games shouldn't even get sequels. Bioshock 2 didn't need one, and they ret-conned the hell out of the original just to make it fit. That's not to say that B2 isn't any good, but they sort of pissed all over the first one in order to make it.

Chains of Olympus had a nice, tight ending that tied it right into the first GoW. I do not want to see a sequel to it. What I would like to see is a console port of it. It's a really solid game and would really only need to be re-textured to a PS2 level before shipping it.

Dear Devs and Publishers:

Stop beating the crap out of your intellectual properties. You know how every time a Halo game comes out, everyone except for the die-hard Halo fan groans? You know how everyone thinks all Bungie and Infinity Ward can do are FPSs? That's not a good thing, that's a bad thing. Stop dragging our favourite characters through the mud just to make a buck. You need to let things go and work on new stuff.

Let Santa Monica come up with a new game, in a new genre. Let them make something like Starfox, or Gauntlet. Can you imagine that? A multi-player action RPG made by the God of War team? How awesome would that be? Midway has little to no money, go buy that licence and give it to them. Million dollar idea.

I agree.. It's almost becoming like the movie industry. It's rare to see a 100% original idea that's GOOD (Planes, Trains & Automobiles, Ghostbusters, etc) while everything else is a sequel

# Heavenly Sword 2 — Daistaar 2010-03-19 00:53

It's Kratos advertising Heavenly Sword 2 lol! Maybe peop;e will see Nariko serious now that she has Kratos in her corner an the red carrat symbol refers to her red hair not blood lol. I'm kidding of course lol.

I'd like to see them expand TM beyond deathmatch driving and shooting.

Maybe more mission based or on foot levels.

# your crazy — GUNBEHINDTHESUN 2010-03-20 19:26

The God Of War story is epic. Have you even played one?

# ok — Guest 2010-03-18 23:36

i think there will be a new god of war game for the ps3

# hmm — Guest 2010-03-18 23:54

maybe it means a future co-op mode...

I think I read on here a while back that mp is possible on GOW3, maybe co-op would be better suited for this title?

just muh hunch

Would have loved to been slapped with this as I obtained all the trophies.

And to kupo, I think some people don't like this because it's actually challenging compared to other games out there.

-2 # 300! — Guest 2010-03-19 01:13

XD Its a Lamda. The shield is from a certain spartan city state. Same place that Leonitus is from! XD 300 GoW style! Thatd be pretty funny if u ask me.

Not really into button mashers like this game, but I heard someone mention another twisted metal? I AM ALL FOR IT!

# GOW 3 Part 2 — Guest 2010-03-19 02:57

if u wiki e3 2010 its on sonys lineup along with thq saints row 3 red faction 4 and some others as well i kno wiki isnt the best source but hasnt really steered me wrong yet

# none — Guest 2010-03-19 05:07

I really don't think this is any indication that there is going to be another God of War, I really don't see them stretching another GOW COO title for PSP, as being a great game, PSP capacity only lets the game live a short time. If there is another god of war, it's 4 and it's for consoles, and it won't be out for another 2-3 years...

again, i REALLY think this is just some trophy garble, and nothing to indicate another game.

+2 # none — Guest 2010-03-19 05:09

oh and for that idiot who said it should come to Xbox 3Shiddy... you DO know it was developed by Sony Santa Monica don't you? Sony is going to design something and give it to Xbox? that'll be the day.. where do these idiots come from

-1 # RE: none — Guest 2010-03-19 23:22

From your mom perhaps?

Not once did I say it should or will come to XBOX 360. Boring games don't come to Microsofts amazing machine. Well done Microsoft, Well done indeed!!

+1 # Sony counting down to new God of War announcement? — senz 2010-03-19 07:12

Inverted V is actually called "lambda" which is the 11th letter of the Greek alphabet. The word "Λακεδαίμων" which means Lacedaemon(Spar ta), the lambda is seen on Spartan hoplite shields..

# RE: Sony counting down to new God of War announcement? — Guest 2010-03-21 21:54

You are correct! Microsoft confirmed this. Well Done Microsoft, Well Done Indeed!

# nice. — Guest 2010-03-19 09:27

would be cool to see another GoW game for psp. although the first one was too short. PLEASE NO PORT FOR THE FIRST PSP GOW!!! i hate that sony does that all the time. your killing your own system by porting good games over to the ps2. ratchet and clank, silent hill, GTA vice city and liberty city stories. hows going to pay for a 160 dollar handheld when most have a ps2 already or can get it cheap

-2 # RE: nice. — Uplink 2010-03-19 11:21

Some people dont like to play on a 4in Screen either i love it when they port these games over i cant stand handhelds. Sony should pull a Nintendo and make a Supergameboy style attachment to play psp games on the ps3 that would be so win.

# DUH — Guest 2010-03-19 19:58

Hook up your PSPGO to your Tv and use the PS3 controller

# RE: Sony counting down to new God of War announcement? — Guest 2010-03-19 09:58

Seriously?
Do you guys seriously think they're gonna announce another GoW-game, only a mere couple of days after releasing GoW3 (of which the developers have said that this will be the last GoW game (story-wise))?

Jesus Christ, you're all idiots.

-1 # RE: Sony counting down to new God of War announcement? — But Fukir 2010-03-19 10:53

Haven't really been into god of war since the first one.

The gameplay was fun enough for a button masher/rhythm game, but the story and kratos are corny.

By the second game it was more cornier than it was interesting anymore IMO.

I think it will be a new GOW game that takes place before GOW2. And Atlantis will be a big part of it. That is why we see the surface of the water in that teaser site. It´s Atlantis underneath it
