Kratos' Companion Cube Gets Unchained
Did you know that there's an extremely well-hidden cameo in God of War: Chains of Olympus? It's the much deadlier, more ancient Companion Cube, the omega of all cubeforms, capable of kicking serious ass. More »

Ready At Dawn Is Serious About Dropping The PSP
Daxter and God of War: Chains of Olympus developer Ready At Dawn was dead serious when it said it was moving on from PSP development. Proof is in the form of the boxing up and shipping out of dozens of PSP development kits and the continued teasing of what's in store after the Japanese release of the PSP version of God of War. With three solid games under its belt, we're appropriately psyched about where the dev is going next. More »

Capcom Fuck Clover's Sad Panda Corpse [Updated]
How does Okami director Hideki Kamiya feel about the Wii port? He's pretty bummed out! The Wii version has cut the staff end credits from the game, which was released in North America earlier this month. The original game was developed by now dissolved Capcom subsidiary Clover and ported by Daxter developer Ready at Dawn. According to Kamiya:

God of War Chains of Olympus Review: Portable Near Perfection
God of War: Chains of Olympus is a stunning and portable prequel to the much touted God of War franchise. Taking place ten years before the original God of War, Kratos is delivered to gamers in a title that can be played on the go. While the story-driven gameplay and over-the-top action of previous God of War games made them nearly instant classics, developers Ready at Dawn had to try and encapsulate all of that screen-filling glory on a 4-inch LCD without losing any of the pizazz.

Ready At Dawn Moving On To "Other Consoles"
If you want to play God of War: Chains of Olympus, you're going to have to do it on a PSP, because a PlayStation 2 port ain't happenin'. That's what Ready At Dawn says, smashing rumors that it would follow the PSP-to-PS2 precedent set by games like Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and Silent Hill Origins. Seriously, get a PSP already! More »

Okami On Wii Delayed
And here you all were thinking you'd be getting the Wii version of Okami on March 25. You're not. The game's been delayed a smidge, and instead of being ready in March now has an American release date of April 15. No reason was given for the delay, so feel free to come up with your own hair-brained plots involving aspect ratios and brushwork calibration below. More »

Ready At Dawn Read-...Prepared For New Franchise
Ready At Dawn have already shown they're great at handling other people's properties. Daxter, God of War PSP, the upcoming Okami on Wii...they're a trusty bunch. Only problem is that those are all, well, other people's properties. Nothing new, nothing original! That's something Ready At Dawn are changing, as it's been announced at GDC today that they're working on "new IPs" for "new platforms". More » -

Okami Wii Screens, Video
Capcom have loosened the leash holding their Okami Wii assets back, and today have released a ton of screenshots for the upcoming port, along with some video footage. The video, which you can find after the jump, looks as lovely as you'd hope, so you might want to focus on it if the quality of screens leave you a little underwhelmed. Oh, and remember, while there's black bars along the sides in the screenshots, Ready At Dawn told us yesterday that the final, retail build of the game will feature "full" 16:9 More »

Okami On Wii Controls Well, Only "Quasi-16:9" [UPDATE]
Last week, Capcom stated on their company store that Okami on Wii would be running at 16:9. Why is this important? Because the PS2 version did not, and if the Wii version did, it'd be a very valid reason for many to go out and buy the same game twice. Turns out that the game doesn't really run at 16:9, however. IGN sat down with it the other day and found it actually sports:...a quasi-16:9 widescreen mode — we call it "quasi" because it's not full resolution; thin black bars remain on each side of the screen.
Ah well. On the bright side, they report that the use of the Wii Remote for celestial brushwork is like "night and day" compared to the PS2 version, with brushwork becoming faster, more accurate and easier to pull off. And in case you weren't already aware, the port's best feature is related neither to aspect ratio nor gameplay: you can now skip the game's cutscenes, which should make a second playthrough all the more enticing.

Two Million Daxters Sold!
It would be safe to call Daxter *the* PSP game. First released in 2006, it's been bundled with the handheld twice: With the Ceramic White unit and the new silver Slim & Lite PSP.

New God of War: Chains Of Olympus Screens
The arrival of Sony Computer Entertainment's God of War franchise on the PSP this coming March will finally give fans of the handheld an opportunity to experience sex mini-games and excessive amounts of gore on the go. To keep hype going through the holidays, SCEA has handed out a new batch of screens of God of War: Chains of Olympus, all of which are in our gallery below. They may not have the polished allure of the original set of screens release many moons ago, but developer Ready At Dawn look to do portable justice to Kratos and whomever he'll be slicing from skull to crotch.

Okami Wii "Exact PS2 Port"
So, the Wii is getting a straight up PS2 port with tacked on waggle, and that could be a really great thing or a really not-so great thing. Since Clover Studios is now kaput, studio Ready at Dawn will be handling the migration and even used Clover's original code due to time constraints. Ready at Dawn president Didier Malenfant stressed how committed he and his team are to staying true to the original. Says Malenfant: More »

God of War: Chains Of Olympus Having A Ball In March '08
Gamespot writes today that Ready At Dawn's original Kratos adventure for the PlayStation Portable, in which it's expected he'll stab thousands of things and hopefully engage in a portable threesome, along with some plot-driving something-or-other, is still quite some time off. March 4, 2008 will finally bring about the next chapter in the God of War series with God of War: Chains of Olympus. Despite not having an official date set in stone, it was largely assumed to hit before the end of the year. Seems many asses were made based on that. More »

God of War PSP Using New CPU Speed
The upcoming PlayStation Portable entry in the God of War franchise, God of War: Chains of Olympus is the first confirmed title to take advantage of the recently unlocked 333 MHz CPU speed for the Sony handheld. Developer Cory Barlog revealed that the hardware improving changes added for developers in the 3.50 firmware are indeed being used by developer Ready At Dawn, which, I'll assume, is partially responsible for the game looking so damn good.

God of War PSP A Done Deal?
PSP developer Ready At Dawn lists their "Unannounced PSP Title" in a very conspicuous way. When you visit the page dedicated to their unannounced game, a flood of blood red covers the Daxter banner with the words Coming Soon displayed in a very familiar (God of War) typeface. God of War PSP proof? Nah. But it's just convincing enough. More »

Ready At Dawn Boss Harps on PSP Devs
According to Games Industry, the president of Ready At Dawn studios has some harsh words for PSP developers. Didier Malefant said, "There's obviously not as many titles as people would want on the platform, but at the same time, up until now there hasn't been any title that really gives you the same kind of experience you could find on the PS2." On the contrary, I think lots of PSP games give you the same experience you get on the PS2, just lower res, poorer controlling, crappier versions of it. Oh, a cheap shot! Kidding and snark aside, the PSP is starting to grow into its own gaming machine. This year looks to be shaping up decently for it. More »
