Really excited now....

"at 30 frames per second."

I looked at Ken in anticipation of his enthusiastic response. My delight was obvious.

"I expected 60 frames per second," said Ken. And walked off.
It's 11 years later and 60FPS is still some kind of holy grail. Maybe that's why Kutaragi has been getting a bit weirder every year. :)

Indeed. Your response to him should have been "Well, you shouldn't have put the cheapest, slowest fucking RAM you could find in it, then."
Nothing is worth the effort you put into it.

Wonder how smooth the framerate is.

Reminds me a bit of the Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones on the cube.
Some of the bits in that looked quite next-gen in terms of draw distances.
PoP is lovely but GoW is orgasmic. You won't believe some of the bosses.

It's probably one of my top 5 games this gen. Anybody who is even vaguely interested in videogames should not miss it. :)
First reviews are in, this is looking positive:

IGN - 9.7 "God of War II may in fact be the best action game ever made"

http://uk.ps2.ign.com/articles/763/763624p1.html

1UP - 9.5 "there are four massive boss fights in particular that rival the scale and drama of anything seen in the first game"

Hmm, so do I get a cheap PS2 (haven't had one in a long time) to play this or buy a PS3 and play it through that?

Adds an interesting new twist on the when to get a PS3 schedule!

It runs in 720p on the PS3, might be worth considering if you have an HD display.

Some nice screenies up on 1UP, love the Pagasus/Dragon battles.

Interesting.

Might start watching out for a used US one, or calling in a favour from a friend out there. The dollar to pound is just too good right now...

Can't believe the reason I might want a PS3 is a PS2 game. It's a funny old world!

Those screenies look fairly hi-res to me, might they be from the game running on the PS3? If so, I think this might be the first real reason to think about getting one.

I'm having trouble finding an old God of War PS2 thread using the search so I'll ask here. Is it worth me buying a cheap copy? The Eurogamer review is banging on about how good it looks. Does that still hold true today?

Rod?
