1UP's Matt Leone attended the God of War 2 Sony event, blogging some very curious words about the supposed future of GOW3 from the lips of director Cory Barlog. Captain obvious had previously informed us that the game would be in full 1080p and on the PS3, but we weren't expecting a hot rumor on the Sixaxis controller's redesign as well:
9:40: Did Barlog just confirm that God of War 3 will be in 1080p with Sixaxis and VIBRATION functions on PS3? He sure did! Whoa! Well, technically he didn't confirm GOW3, but he confirmed Sixaxis and vibration for the future of God of War. Here's hoping he wasn't joking...
While technically none of the above are official promises or confirmations, it does suggest that developer talks to include rumble in future controllers are happening following Immersion settlement. Oh Sony, don't you wish you could eat those "last gen" words now?
More news on the new PSP God of War game also follows. Also, cocks.
9:35: Okay, first official group of details on the PSP game:
-It's not a port. In the words of director Cory Barlog (who is involved with the PSP game along with developer Ready at Dawn), "It is its own story that connects to the overall story. God of War, God of War 2, and then if all the stars align God of War 3 will be the telling of a trilogy. This PSP story will be a further fleshing out."
-The developers are not sure what's going to happen to the roll that was previously on the right analog stick yet -- various ideas like a toggle are being thrown around, but we don't know any more than that. "There are plusses and minuses to all of it," says Barlog.
-There's no word on where this sits in the overall story yet.
-There's no word on PSP/PS2/PS3 connectivity features. Ready at Dawn was one of the few developers to do PSP/PS2 connectivity with Daxter and Jak X, but Barlog says: "As far as the connectivity and stuff, it sounds awesome, but really kind of just found out about Home ourselves... Home was in development [during GOW2], but nobody really on our development team was knowledgeable about it, so there wasn't much we could do about it."
-The goal is for this version to be just as epic as the others, despite being on PSP. Barlog: "It is epic. It is big. There are hooks in the PSP story that I actually wrote from one of my first stories for God of War 2, so there are a lot of elements -- we're going to keep connecting all this stuff. To me, it's a persistent world... I want the PSP version to not feel like the PSP version... it's just as big. It's just as epic. It's God of War."
-You may revisit some general areas, but none of the same levels from previous games. Barlog: "We're not reusing any levels. We're not doing any of that stuff. It's all original content. And the game will ship with a second analog nub -- totally kidding! Not true at all!"
It's a good week to be Kratos. If it actually does end up shipping with some weird clamp-on bondage second analog stick I'm going to faint.
So WTF are they gonna do to all the people who already have the crappy ass controller they released at launch, "too bad for you, shouldn't have bought our console so early, you should have known!!!"
to cory_t - your a fucking idiot. your trying to say sonys saying we should have known, but at the same time your saying sony should have known they were going to fix things with immersion. fucking dumbshit. and dexter theres probably a lot of people that change their mind, and usually for the better. so dont act like their doing a bad thing.
"So WTF are they gonna do to all the people who already have the crappy ass controller they released at launch, "too bad for you, shouldn't have bought our console so early, you should have known!!!""
--They did that for PS1, what is stopping them from doing it now?
Guys.. I understand you are pissed about the controller but:
a) Exactly how else you wanted that to be fixed? by delaying the PS3 a whole year, or by asking Dr. Emmet Brown for the Delorean? I mean, come on. give Sony a break or two. (poor bastards)
b-z) Who gives a shit? they just OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED GOW 3 FOR THE PS3! ZOMFG!!!
GOD OF WAR 3 FTFW!
p.s.
Oh shit, this officially means I have to get me a PS3 sometime soon.. crap.

ooh baby - sex scenes and strapons
Awesome photoshop. Whoever made the pic drank his awesome sauce today.
Vibration? Isn't that last-gen?
It's like when Sony said they wouldn't release two different SKUs because it's confusing. They just expect people forget what they said a month ago.
Wait, what were we talking about a few minutes ago?
I hope you can turn vibration off. I don't want to be living in the last-gen.
"Rumble is last ge.....what's that? We settled with Immersion? Oh, uh...rumble is futuristic!"
So WTF are they gonna do to all the people who already have the crappy ass controller they released at launch, "too bad for you, shouldn't have bought our console so early, you should have known!!!"
I was thinking maybe an attachment or something...
Now that's REALLY last gen (n64 last gen) but it won't screw over the early purchasers TOO much.
Good news for Sony. At least they're not losing all of their exclusives
I might have to pick up a PS3 after all

i hope there's an exchange program for controllers.
not everyone likes to give Sony execs blowjobs like REYTAWN
"theres probably a lot of people that change their mind"
is the stupidest shit ever.
i'm sure you have a Betamax and a minidisc player too.
c;mon say something racist.
you know you want to so badly.

Vibration?! Finally i can get my uzi's in tomb raider and just hope there is an unlimited ammo cheat out there... and relax :P
May I remind you of THIS too?
Companies are made by humans, and they do make mistakes, at least (sometimes) they try to correct them.
More good news from the Sony camp? This is too much to handle, too soon.
Surely the end is near ;-)
I think I was just about the only person in the world who didn't mind the original X-Box controllers, and for a while PREFERRED them.
Hurray for vibration!
