14 DAY TRIAL // This is the day PSP and God of War fans eat their hearts out at the sight of these three, newly released gameplay videos of God of War: Chains of Olympus for the PSP. Kratos has a new power as it is shown in the last two videos and although the footage isn't of the best possible quality, we can all agree that, even at this stage, our favorite war god performs superbly.
Ready at Dawn creative director, Cory Barlog made a lengthy and interesting blog entry towards the end of June this year, mentioning what they'd achieved with the PSP version of their Hellenistic-themed action game at that point, and how the console's capabilities would enable them to do even more for the series. Here are some excerpts:
"Ready at Dawn has been doing some pretty amazing stuff with the PSP since the early days of the platform. Every time I see a new build I am more amazed with what we're able to pull off with the PSP. I mean, 1080p on the PSP?who would have freaking thought??? Ok so that is wholly untrue, but it does look amazing. I feel confident in saying that we (and when I say we, I mean Ready at Dawn since they are doing the bulk of the work) are nailing the look and feel of God of War for the PSP. If everything goes according to plan then this will be a must-have game in your PSP library."
He went on explaining how "the combat for God of War: Chains of Olympus is also coming along really nicely. With each new build I get to see more and more of the game taking shape, which from my perspective is great. [...] Thankfully the folks over at Ready at Dawn are doing a great job and over the next few weeks you will get to see the fruits of their labor. I would say 'our' labor, but including myself in that would be like the guy who stands on the side of the road during a marathon and hands out a glass of water and says "run faster", and then says 'we' won the race. [...] I hope to have more info on the game sometime soon, keep your eyes open at E3."
So they did and now they've rolled out these three amazing videos below. Enjoy watching and keep your fingers crossed for a very early 2008 release of God of War: Chains of Olympus.
