05.02.2007 DAVID JAFFE BLASTS HIS GAME REVIEWERS

Well, just one of them. This is what happened when you tell the guy who designed God of War that one of his side gaming projects is no good. Here's what he had to say:

TO THE LAME ASS WEBSITE THAT SHALL GO UNNAMED- Fuck you, guys. Go fuck yourselves. What other developer makes a fucking change to a game when a review (IGN's in this case) has a good, valid point and is willing to open the fucking code up at the risk of more bugs to make the game better? Amazing. But hey, you guys are great, you guys rock. I hope Kotaku fucking puts your ass out of business, wanna be fucktards. And if you were actual journalists you would have read the motherfucking quote I posted on NEOGAF where I said because of the two bugs we needed to fix (not because I was afraid of the bargin bin) we had a window of opp. to fix the magnet problem. Assholes...total fucking assholes.

I think David Jaffe just took the joy out of Joystiq, if we could get a FOX or TLB news camera interview right now for their thoughts on the matter we'd probably hear a lot of bleeps and tatse a lot of tears. Well said, David Jaffe, well said.

03.20.2007 COD OF WAR REVEALED

Years will pass and this will be forgotten as an urban legend, but TheBBPS has the pictures to prove it's real. Last year the God of War developers ran a contest asking players to make a different costume for Kratos, and by far the shittiest looking one was an upright fish named the Cod of War. Perfect. The two second concept art was adapted into the aquatic hero you see above. You can play as him on your second play through the game, and his blades have even been replaced with fish hooks for hilarious gameplay. Now if only we can convince them to make a Mog of War in the next game.

03.06.2007 GOD OF WAR GAME COMING TO PSP

Yep, for sure this time. Someone just got God of War II sent to them early, and on the back of the manual (seen above) is an advertisement for a PSP God of War game coming in 2007. Will it be God of War II on PSP, or the first God of War, or a separate game altogether? No details are known for sure yet, but either way, this is another great reason to own a PSP. More details will probably pop up later today as the pictures continue to spread, so check back later for an update.

And here's a list of the things he found on the second disc that came with the game: Making of God of War II. Interviews with voice actors, musicians, and artists. Extra features containing trailers, environment artwork, creature art, game testing, Halloween?, press events,  how to play tutorials. And spoilers on creating Kratos, initial concept, lost levels, level design, creating Zeus, combat system, animations, cinematics, and boss concept art.

02.23.2007 SCALING ATLAS GOD OF WAR 2 GAMEPLAY VIDEO

Here's a new gameplay video of Kratos scaling Atlas in God of War 2. It starts off with him pulling a Spiderman as he swings from one chain to the next and risks falling to his death. Then he pulls an X-Men and pimps out the Icarus angel wings to maneuver around the level. It's video preview like this that let you know the sequel will be just as good as we hope - in this short clip we already see several different challenges and obstacles. It's a shame not many game companies are willing to take the time to create action adventure games filled with puzzles, I can't wait until the best game of the year awards come back for 2007, and God of War 2 is on it fearlessly facing PS3 and 360's best. The wait is almost over - God of War 2 comes out on March 13th for PlayStation 2. Do you guys plan on buying it right away?

02.15.2007 NEW ICARUS IMAGES FROM GOD OF WAR II

Sony just gave out some new God of War II images - there's four new screenshots showing off Kratos with Icarus wings, and two pieces of concept art to go along with it. The character art looks as impressive as usual, but the environment design actually looks terrible in some places. You can see several spikes in the background Vertices Alps where the 3D terrain jags in random directions grotesquely. It still looks like a fun level to play through though, make sure you also check out the two dozen God of War II images from the past if you haven't seen them yet.

01.31.2007 MORE GOD OF WAR II VIDEO PREVIEWS

Here's the first third of a three part video showing what the sequel's plot will be like. In this video we see Kratos get stripped of his powers, yet he willingly takes on one of the ancient wonders of the world - the colossus of Rhodes. Yes, Kratos is responsible for writing our history, he also planted the hanging gardens of Babylon. For more of the Spartan battles, here's video 2 and video 3. This game has "Game of the Year" written all over it.

01.30.2007 GOD OF WAR II HAMMER TRAILER

The 'hammer' teaser trailer came out last night and GameTrailers has the high quality version for us as usual. It's great to see companies other than Square Enix making the PS2 graphics looking borderline early PS3 graphics. A lot of the 360 and PS3 games actually bother me - they look shiny for no reason, giving everything a greasy feel. Parallax mapping can be cool, but games like Kameo just didn't always implement it very well. Everything in the God of War II trailer looks crisp and sleek though, and everything is way more epic than before. Kratos looks  more badass, the environments feel more real, and the bosses could take any of the Colossi in a bar fight. Ripping wings off of your enemies has never looked as good before as it will in March when this game finally comes out. I can't wait to jump into a temple sized crossbow and launch myself at the bosses. God of War II has kickass TheLastBoss written all over it.
