God of War Ghost of Sparta

[BlueCali]

God of War: Ghost of Sparta is headed to the Playstation Portable later this year and the best part, it's being developed by the folks who made the first, fantastic God of War PSP title.

The title will be a collaborative effort between Ready at Dawn, who developed God of War: Chains of Olympus, and Sony Computer Entertainment's Santa Monica Studio.

"Excitement for the God of War franchise is at an all-time high and we're thrilled to continue that momentum with God of War: Ghost of Sparta," said Scott A. Steinberg, vice president, product marketing, SCEA. "This new adventure will showcase Kratos on PSP like never before in an experience that fans and newcomers can enjoy on the go, anytime, anywhere."

Set in the realm of Greek mythology, God of War: Ghost of Sparta is a single-player game that has players once more taking on the role of Spartan warrior Kratos. This new adventure picks up after the original God of War concludes, telling the story of Kratos' ascension to power as the God of War. In his quest to rid himself of the nightmares that haunt him, Kratos must embark on a journey that will reveal the origins of lost worlds, and finally answer long-awaited questions about his tattoo, scar and family. Armed with the deadly chained Blades of Chaos, he will have to overcome armies of mythological monsters, legions of undead soldiers, and amazingly dangerous and brutal landscapes throughout his merciless quest.

The developers say they have "made significant strides to give players a realistic feel that has never been seen before on PSP or any other portable platform." The game showcases higher quality environments and characters, giving an unmistakable realism to Kratos' newest quest, they say.

The game will have more than 25 percent more gameplay than God of War: Chains of Olympus, according to the release.

The game will also have a new weapon system, new magical powers, weapons and navigational abilities, many more enemies on screen, and a greater number of boss encounters, truly bringing the experience to life, all while on the go.

Ready at Dawn is back on the Playstation Portable development train, promising to top their best portable effort and one of the greatest games ever made for the PSP with God of War: Ghost of Sparta.

Here's a first glimpse at how the game will look when it hits the PSP and PSPgo later this year.

SCEA's Eric Levine calls Ghost of Sparta a "prequel of sorts" saying it picks up where the original God of War left off. The game will reveals the origins of lost worlds and "finally answer long-awaited questions about Kratos' tattoo, scar, and family," Levine says.

I was hoping for GOW4 lol but another PSP game won't be so bad since the last one was pretty good.

If I can get my PSP updated and be able to run it while still on CFW, I'll hit you up.

Also if you can get that Uncharted 2 DLC from Subway (the siege DLC or any dlc really as I don't have any of them) we can just do a simple swap.

Either way the code is yours if you want it.

 

[BlueCali]

I'll see If i can win you a U2 DLC code, I already won one, and used it since I didn't have it.
