sarshelyam!

nice to see your post. i agree, sony has done a very good job of getting original games from the blockbuster series that made the playstation brand what it is.. dont forget the gta series has also created two unique gta games for the psp, with another potentially on the way!

i think that theres a lot of sony-bashers on kotaku.. which is unfortunate, considering its one of the best game sites on the web, if not THEE best.

i like your idea for a prequel as well!

This is my story, I'm the 1upper mentioned in the above article.

While I can understand the concerns many have, Sony is far beyond the port mentality. Actually, when you look at the history of SCEA developed titles for the PSP, you'll be hard-pressed to find a single port. Twisted Metal, Wipeout, Ape Escape and Socom amongst many, are all original titles...

...yet for some reason people are so quick to point out that the easy/lazy approach so many of our 3rd party devs took over the first year, were (for the most part), sloppy ports.

Rest assured God of War will be a unique story that will most likely fit seamlessly into the entire mythos. I would love to see a prequel, afterall, we have 10 years of Kratos pre-God of War I, post family murder to deal with. What happened in those long years prior to throwing himself off the highest Mountain in Olympus?

Pretty sweet. I have a PSP, haven't used it in a very, very long time. While I never played God of War, it obviously seems to be a great series so maybe I'll finally be able to play a good game for the PSP. This is going to be a legendary moment. *takes PSP and blows dust off it* Ahhh....

Nope, not yet. But there are a lot of tutorials on how to make your own. Doesn't look to hard...Not like I would try though :P.

has any company come up with a thumbstick attachment for the PSP? I know theres a few one-offs made by private individuals but nothing at retail.

Thanks Kotaku, for your shameless hit-grabber. Nowhere on that package do i see a II.

Why is Kotaku assuming this is God of War II? It could be, but it could be a brand new game entirely. All we have is the GoW symbol. There's no II anywhere. Title should read: AD: God of War Coming to PSP.

As a huge fan of David Jaffe's... i often visit his blog.

he hasnt mentioned this game yet, but i suspect that we will find some interesting information regarding the PSP title on his blog, soon after GDC.

As for the people who are posting about how this is just another port... considering it will most likely be made by Ready At Dawn, i bet that just like daxter, this will be an entirely original game.

...does anyone remember the rumour about a GOW game based on kratos brother? seems like a nice fit to me?

Well, the camera is static, and all the right stick does is lets you dive out of the way, so the control scheme won't be all that hosed...

Even if this is true, the game will just be hampered by a bad control scheme, just like many other PS2 to PSP translations.

@excaliburps:

I own a PSP.

I shouldn't be able to express my distaste for the current trend with PSP games to be nothing more than spin offs or ports of PS2 games, because it damages your delicate sensibilities?

Get over yourself.

I was wondering how many people would post here knowing that they don't like/care for the PSP or the GoW series or outright hate Sony altogether...imagine that, just the first post and you have a winner.

Yes, it might be a port or it may suck or etc etc. It's getting tiresome sifting through crap like that just to read some useful information.

If you don't like it, why post on it in the first place? To change other people's minds? yeesh...

Seriously, If you don't like the system/game or whatever please don't post useless rehashed griping/flame-baiting or whatever.
It's useless.

It will be fine on the the psp, since in God of War you dont control the camera. I hope its a new game and not a port, knowing sony and their desire to boost demand for the psp, im betting its a new game.

Yeah, I read about skullivan...nevertheless, I hope the GOW PSP game isn't a game so much as it's a digital comic like the MGS one. I think that would be very cool and a way to tell a bit more about the awesome story of Kratos and build the mythology of the game world as it ramps up to the PS3 God of War 3 release...at least I can dream, right?

skullivan — Sun, 04 Mar 2007 10:58:21 MST

It's being done by the same team that did Daxter so it has a pretty good chance of being more than just OK.

http://www.readyatdawn.com/psptitle.html

When that site first went up a couple weeks ago the screen turned blood red and "Coming Soon" appeared in the God of War font. Now it still turns red but the coming soon font was changed to some innocuous bubble lettering.

I guess Sony threatened to blackball them.

yeah, my psp is getting plenty of love with MLB 07 and I'm pretty stoked about After Burner coming soon, but God of War on PSP? For as much as I love that series I don't want it crippled or diminished by lack of a second analog stick...

hegemonyhog — Sun, 04 Mar 2007 09:45:12 MST

I don't know about anyone else, but the right analog stick is pretty much the only way I can fight effectively in God of War.

This could be good if it's a different game with different controls for the PSP, but then will it actually be God of War?

How will this play on the PSP? That system just cripples platformers. There's no possible way it can control as smoothly as its big brother.

@Optimistic Prime: A: It's not the back of the game case, it's the back of the instruction manual. B: The game is on the first disc, extra content is on the second.

Optimistic Prime — Sun, 04 Mar 2007 08:39:34 MST

It seems photoshopped. A) The back of a game case isn't usually advertising for another game. B) The front says "2 disc set." Kotaku already confirmed it would only be one disc.
