God of War: Chains of Olympus - Image 1


Ready at Dawn studios and Sony certainly have their hands full making a PSP game based on God of War. How do you manage to contain that much awesome in a single UMD, anyway?

Well, God of War: Chains of Olympus promises to take the God of War series in a different direction, as the story plays as a prequel to the events surrounding God of War. In God of War: Chains of Olympus,you'll be able to relive the ten years of servitude he spent under the gods. You'll see him battling even more monstrous denizens of Greek mythology, and you'll also get to visit bleak Greek vistas, like the Gates of Hades and the depths of Tartarus.

Even more important to fans of Kratos-styled gameplay, Kratos will sport new moves, as well as all new dramatic pieces, so you better watch out. In the meantime, why not get a taste of the action by watching this all-new trailer for the game, as well as viewing new screens for God of War: Chains of Olympus? Enjoy!

» Yes!

Can't wait to see this!

» cool

looks good, i'm just hoping that it will run with 60FPS because 30 is good, but it just doesn't look fluently enough, it looks like a bad animated computer game with 30FPS

» BUT?

» Sold.

Maybe best PSP game ever.

by manaox2 - 2007-07-12 02:30
» Well...

With the PSP's rather lagging screen refresh rate, I don't know what they can do. That is easily the biggest flaw with the psp that I know.

» def

could very likely be the best game ever created for the psp platform.

» thank god

god of war that is... lol ok so it wasnt that funny, but seriously I'm on custom fw, and I'm still gonna buy this game. Leave it to the guys at ready at dawn to actually take advantage of what the psp can do. We need more games like this. I sincerely hope when this comes out it sells more copies than all other DS and PSP games combined. Those guys deserve to be rich, and maybe they can set a trend and bring the PSP back from the brink of death.

All that is nothing short of amazing. What gets me the most is, yeah, PSP sales aren't quite as good, yadda yadda, and some developers are worried about really putting time and energy into a handheld, but Ready at Dawn doesn't give two *****s. They said from day one the player doesn't wanna be treated like a second-rate citizen just because it's a portable. I mean damn, Thank you Ready at Dawn for this because I know this will rock real hard. I hope 99% of the people that own a PSP will own this game because this is what we need more of. (And Final Fantasy Core Crisis)

» GoW UMD Demo?

Anyone out there knows if an email that was sent for us "Playstation.com" website registered users to receive a UMD Demo of "God of War: Chains of Olympus" will be sent or it's just one more $ony joke on us?

Hopefully we see more games like this and that RaD has set a trend for other developers to follow. This is a VERY good time to start developing seeing as how the full processor speed is unlocked (333 Mhz). Hopefully we see some good games soon, probably more during Christmas Season.

by somebody - 2007-07-12 08:35
» may be

but let's hope. i mean they have 333mhz instead of the normal 222mhz so maybe they'd try.

by Moo - 2007-07-12 11:14
» simply awesome....

Man that was sooo smooth they probably had it a bit jumpy at 222mhz and when they got access to 333mhz instant speedup

» Choice

There may be a few people having to make choice between GoW and CFW.

I don't think like you, in fact I don't think the psp version is gonna be as good as the ps2 version:

1. Not very fluent, feels laggy and will tamper fast gaming expereice

2. The graphics aren't as good, needs some polishing

3. The psp doesn't have a 2nd analog stick, and R2 and L2 buttons which are rather important...

by manaox2 - 2007-07-12 16:25
» I wish...

I dont think its possible. The LCD screen cant be fixed by speeding up the cpu.

by manaox2 - 2007-07-12 16:29
» Order Lumines...

Just make sure you grab a copy of Lumines with it. Hopefully it wont be 3.51 or higher.

» fap, Fap, FAp, FAP, FAP!, FAP!!, FAP!!!

I hope there's lots of huge, hot, wet TITS in this *****ing game, I'm going to Jack my ***** so hard to my PSP when this game comes out, I'm going to CUM all over the beautiful LCD screen and then lick it off, slowly, with my large tounge. OH! I just came in my pants thinking about it.

Lol, you remind me of this other kid on this website, ALL they have to say is negative stuff no matter what. It can be...

"The PSP has a PS3 emulator on it and it runs perfectly!" And you'll say, "Omg who would want to play PS3 on such a small screen?"

Like come on man, this is a damn portable, this is unreal. You coming here to belittle everything, I just don't understand it.



...Come to think of it, I think it was you that I mentioned at the beginning of this paragraph that never has anything good to say. Do you own a PSP?

by errrr.. - 2007-07-12 20:20
» now wait just one minute
