*Update* Island of Rhodes update - God of War: Chains of Olymp-something

Ok, fine. I was wrong. It's not God of War: Charmander and the Ding-dong Daddies of Doom. Last week's goose chase around the Island of Rhodes website had me stuck on the Roman numerals puzzle page, but thanks to a comment from exa (Unregistered), I was able to get past the last hurdle and keep myself updated on the countdown timer.

Ever since, I've been keeping an eye on the title that's been progressively showing itself. And as speculation has been going over online forums far and wide, the countdown ends with the unveiling of the next God of War title. Whether it be a GoW for the PSP or the PS3, no one has any official confirmation. But right now, we have... this:

God of War: Chains of...? - Image 1 


Do note that this image of the title has been stuck there for a couple of days now. The first time I saw it like this when the counter was on the "7 days left" marker. Now "3 days left," the image has remained unchanged. As you can see, the first word ("Chains") of the sub-title has been revealed. Common sentiment in online discussions already has the full title dubbed as one of either three things. God of War: Chains of Fate/Time/Torment.

Personally though, to be comical about it, how do we know it's "God of War" to begin with? For all we know, it complete hit us right out of nowhere, with the full title being revealed as Goiter of War! *grin*

Well, we've got three days (as of writing) to go. And by that time, this whole Da Vinci Code cryptology spree will finally unravel itself. You can bet your "chains of whatever" that we'll have an updated screencap of what the countdown will end with. For now, this is what we have, and feel free to comment on what your guess of the title is.



UPDATE: Looks like everyone was wrong. It's not "Chains of Fate/Time/Torment", but something that (as far as this writer has is concerned) has never been mentioned before. Since yesterday's update (points to text above), a major part of the title has been exponentially revealed.

God of War: Chains of Olymp-something - Image 1


God of War: Chains of Olympus? Most probably. Well, Chain of Olymp-something - at the very least - that's for sure. Olympus, Olympians, Olympranazzasaznaffalots? Given this though, there's still that question: will God of War: Chain of Olymp-something be for the PSP or PS3? Time to stake your claim!

the one on the psp

The producer said they'd make a psp game, so it's the psp version. It cannot be a ps3 version since next-gen games takes longer than current gen, and gow3 will take at least 2 years to complete, and a psp game take only some months to a year since the graphics are less detailed, and also because the producer said that the psp gow will be a kind of "chain of memory" that links the other games, it's NOT a port ( that's what he said ).

I just hope what ever it is now that Kratos has the power of the Fates He will be able to bring back his Wife and kid.
by - 2007-04-19 19:58:33
q

I wonder if it could be Chains of Torment. It could deal with a lot of Kratos past even some thing with the power of the Fates. Kratos has to find the Chain of Torment to Hurt the Gods the rest of there life.
by - 2007-04-19 20:08:33
definintely

yeah that or chains of prometheus
by - 2007-04-19 20:31:20
As if,.

If anyone had beat god of war 2 on titan mode they would know kratos was chained in hades, And it must be chains of hades. No I'm kidding. I havent beat Gow2 on titan mode, And I have no idea what this is. But it's Gow and ill have it.
by - 2007-04-19 20:58:00
...

Where's that one kid that was bustin' everybody's balls last time saying it was "Chariots of" yadda yadda. I should be thinking, "Aw man I suck," right about now. At any rate, Ready of Dawn is making the PSP version obviously, Daxter is thee most impressive looking game on the PSP, as well as load times, how massive the enviroments are, and pretty much every detail worked out. Reading back of "Where do you think the PSP will be in the next few years," Ready at Dawn states they only used 45% of the PSP's total power to make Daxter, and now they're up to about 80 for God of War, (Same article stated that), so I can't wait for it.
by - 2007-04-19 22:12:59
umm

did you play gow2? ****(spoiler alert)**** Prometheus dies. I doubt that's the title of the game unless the titans kill hades or something and he gets released from hades. which would be awesome now that i think about it.

re

lol, the only descent games still being made for psp are from readya t dawn (first party), third aprties practically abandoned the psp already (look at sega and all the ds games they recently announced or square enix).
by - 2007-04-20 02:09:27
chains.....

Doesn't anyone else find it odd that the word Chains is all the way to the left? I mean look at the lettering for GOD at the top, assuming that goes as far right as I think, and the title underneath is centred (as it should be) then the last word after chains is quite a long one.... longer than Promathis or Prometheus or anything like that.....

Let see maybe

Gow of war Chains of Hades

by comedy - 2007-04-20 06:14:43
i know what it is

it's chains of iron... that makes most sense, it's also way dramatic too
by - 2007-04-20 06:35:57
Chains of .....

Since Kratos had the blades of Chaos in the 1st game which were attached to his arms with chains and he received the blades of Athena for the 2nd game If this chapter is meant to go between the 2 PS2 games could it not be Chains of Chaos? just a thought...
by - 2007-04-20 06:38:09
.

God of war Chains or somethin... we couldn't think of a subtitle but don't think we really need one cause the other two didn't have subtitles. That would explain the plenty of room to the right side for more stuff :D
by - 2007-04-20 07:07:37
Bleh..

Could have sworn War started with a W not an I... Maybe it actually stands for Greatest of Idiots.
by - 2007-04-20 07:09:10
GOW for PSP

Well, I dont know bout the upcoming title for GOW, but im pretty sure it's coming out for the PSP. have a look at this screenshot taken from the official GOW 1 page. Just copy n paste the url. I'm pretty sure u guys have seen it before. http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g220/aquariuz23/Untitled-1.jpg
by - 2007-04-20 07:13:09
I agree

Yeah, i agree wit u on dat...I'm surprised nobody saw dat it's saying "GOI" and not "GOW"....n everyone is saying God Of War....the acronym ends with an I not a W so it cant be War, must be something else...... Maybe God Of Immortality? Lol
by - 2007-04-20 07:17:44
great title!

If the title was 'God of War: Charmander and the Ding-dong Daddies of Doom' I would already be queueing for it!
by - 2007-04-20 07:42:07
thabor,aquariuz

It 's nod GOI. That I is the D from god. It's not the acronym GOW.

by - 2007-04-20 16:26:14
where is th LINK?

why don't you link already where i could find it
by - 2007-04-20 16:29:52
eh...

you'll never know until it says so
by - 2007-04-20 16:34:28
we have linked it previously

and even if we did link on it now, you wouldn't be able to see it unless you've gone through all the notpron puzzles. +D
by Dodo - 2007-04-20 16:47:13
...

It's God of War: Chains of Olympia. or my name isn't Dodo. Most likely PSP game. It's too soon for a next-gen game.
by - 2007-04-20 17:09:36
wow...

Can people read? In the second image it says chains of olymp___. I dont see why people are making stupid suggestions like memories, war, suffering, torment, etc. I agree with the people who say its probably chains of olympia or olympus, because it has olymp at the beginning. is Olymp at the beginning of memories? And its most likely a psp game. P.S. Critisize me, call me stupid, w/e i dont care. you cant do anything to me. I'm saying this because im tired of immature little children who make comments in all caps just to call someone names that don't have anything to do with what is going on at hand.
by - 2007-04-20 17:12:57
duh

they could very well be announcing the PS3 God of War this early but so thats not the reason this is the PSP version. The reason is because its not God of War 3. Its a subtitled game like all handheld versions are. So its for the PSP. =)
by - 2007-04-20 17:18:53
asdd

you f*ck the "olymp.." part just showed up now there was only "chains of..." when people made these suggestions.... you are the immature f*ggot trying to be a smartass...
by - 2007-04-20 18:02:56
meh

Elite coming, pack up ur ps3 back to japan and take ur 3 million fanboys with u
by comedy - 2007-04-20 18:35:13
i say...

there's space for a small 3 at the end... so it's god of war 3, chains of olympuss
by - 2007-04-20 18:49:08
Interesting.

It looks like "Chains of Olympia"...I think it may be for either PS3 or PSP...or both! Maybe it will feature Cross-talk options as well. Someone owes me a free cookie if I'm correct. ^_^
by - 2007-04-20 19:16:01
updates?

I think this should have something like hourly updates because there are alot of people who are waiting in suspense.
by - 2007-04-20 21:30:57
GoW

God of War: Chains of Olympus that's my guess...
by - 2007-04-20 21:39:54
...hmm

im thinking its GOD of war 3.. chains of olympus, because if you notice the left and right spaces of color.. there is enough room to fit the D and the 3.. or some other letter in there..
by - 2007-04-20 21:42:43
GoW

I heard that it's a 360 announcement
by - 2007-04-20 21:53:14
lawl

Yes, lets buy the Xbox360 "PS3 wannabe" with no wifi no new chipset no HD-DVD and half assed HDMI or just buy a 120gb HDD for $180! I WUB U M$!
by - 2007-04-20 22:30:56
Did anyone ever think that It could be for the PS2

It would be better to finish the First trilogy on PS2 Than start a new one On PS3
by - 2007-04-20 23:57:40
All I know...

is that what ever GOW it is for the PS3 they are going to go to town on the HD grafix and on the game play for that matter with the hardware that they will have at their disposal
by - 2007-04-21 00:30:18

by - 2007-04-21 04:39:55
Obvious, but...

I know it's "God Of War:Chains Of Olympus" but, for some reason.. I think the picture will completely change when the countdown finishes.. Anybody else think that?
by - 2007-04-21 05:36:49
