God, I hope they never stop making these.

Slims don't have backwards compatibility, so your only options are either to use a PS2, or buy God of War Collection for PS3.

You want to get the collection... it's retail price is not that expensive, and the games just look a lot better than they did originally.

I just wish I had time to finish GoWII before 3 comes out.. =/

You might want to finish 2 before you start 3, as 3 picks up from pretty much exactly where 2 leaves off. 2 isn't that long, so you can easily finish before 3 comes out.

[BadKarma]

You can finish 1 and 2 in about 6 hours a piece if you blaze through.

The best part is that he always has pictures of Jack Tretton on the back desk in his commercials. I thought that was hilarious

We've heard that God of War III had a pretty involved postscript that had to be trimmed from the game. The game's director explained why to Kotaku Talk Radio, but said if it does come back, it'll be free.

Speaking somewhat generically to avoid spoilers, Stig Asmussen said the game originally called for so many Titan encounters - which demand a tremendous amount of time and resources - that the development team found itself nearly overwhelmed. That necessitated tough choices about what to cut, just so that the rest of the game could get the attention it needed.

"There was a pretty large thing that we chopped from the ending that I had regrets about, but then something we added at the end that helps make up for it a little bit, and helps make it more personal," Asmussen said, speaking generically to avoid spoilers. "We had titan encounters in the game, we had a pretty big one planed for the end and we got pretty far with it it, but it was just one of those deals where we just had so much."

From what he told Stephen Totilo during our podcast though, it sounds like this epilogue encounter had enough work done that it could be readied for DLC.

"As far as DLC goes, it might be something we might think about getting out there someday," Asmussen said. "The pieces are in place, the idea is written. If it's something we put out there it would be something that would be free."

Although Asmussen now says he has "no regrets" because he knew the cut was the right decision, the process by which these encounters were built sounds almost agonizing, so to let go of one so deep into its development must have been hard.

"Those things required so many resources and they're so hard to work on. It was literally the hardest thing I've ever been involved with before in my life and we just couldn't do more. We couldn't," Asmussen said. "It was to the point where we had to remove one just to invest time in the other ones that we had in the game, to get those right. We could have had more, and everything else would have suffered."

You can hear Asmussen for yourself in our podcast, available for download or iTunes subscription through this link. The relevant portion begins at the 31:10 mark

Sounds good

Finished the game 4 hours ago, What a fantastic ride everything was epic from start to finish (first hour of game is better than whole of Dante's Inferno), thanks to the really awesome gameplay presentation and excellent pacing, overall, the sheer scale and intensity of the boss fights are just insane. add some pretty clever puzzles except for the guitar hero one.


Ending

Spoiler: show

basically Kratos shove the sword inside his guts killing himself for some redemption BS but in the epilogue, you see blood on floor were Kratos body was, hinting that he's still alive. tho it's confusing since you see a big hole after Athena take it out and tells him she's disappointed with him and leaves.

Midnight release tonight, I'm thinking of going. Anyone else planning to forgo sleep to play? I've already called off work tomorrow for it, lol.

[Correction]

Amazon delivers mine tomorrow, so yeah probably not going to get anything else done.

[Tythera]

Ordered mine from Amazon over a month ago, never noticed it said the ship date is March 22nd for some reason, that's retarded

Also hope someone rips the OST soon

[Linsivi]

Pre-ordered, but probably not going to the midnight launch. I won't even get to play it until my girlfriend beats 13 >.>

[Dylon]

I'm going to midnight release and depending on how much fun I'm having i prolly wont be going to sleep lol (just because of how AWESOME this game is gonna be)
