If you weren't hyped up about God of War 2 (coming to the PlayStation 2 next month) before, you'd better check your pulse if you're still not, after having watched this new trailer. With epic music, cheesy film trailer voice over, and high intensity action, this was designed to get your blood pumping.
One thing is for certain -- the PlayStation 2 is not dead yet and if you haven't made the upgrade to any of these newfangled "next-gen" consoles we blabber on about so often, don't worry about it just yet. While this might really be the last high-profile hurrah for Sony's console (dozens of games are set to hit the PS2 this year, but none with the weight of this sequel), it's definitely going to go out on a high note.
I really can't wait for this game. And I just recently got my PS2 back but haven't put it to use yet. God of War was one of my favorite games when it came out and this looks even more bad ass.
Wow...I thought the first God of War had some of the best graphics I'd seen on the PS2...easily up there with original XBox visuals. For all the ways Sony is fucking up the PS3, they are putting the PS2 out to pasture far more gracefully than the Xbox or the GameCube.
Looks like a lot more actions and active button pressing whihc makes it look so cinematic and cool. I wasn't that hyped about it but this video has changed that. Looks like Kratos will be fighting all the other Gods too now?
