Possible release date indicator?

[edit] Game Engine

Does anyone know the name of the game engine (i.e., middleware) used in the development of GoW:Chains of Olympus? Is it third-party or in-house? Aeonassoc 15:04, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Official title?

Joystiq reports on what could be the official title for the game. Should the article be renamed? Demaar 03:24, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Revealed today and changed today! KsprayDad 14:48, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Added screen capture of first trailer available today! KsprayDad 14:50, 25 April 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Couple of important things

I have the demo, so I'd like to state that it is the first level of the game (as told so by developers with the video on the UMD) Attica IS the first battle, and the basilisk IS the first boss. Secondly, everywhere I go, it says this demo is downloadable. That's not true to date, it's coming soon on a downloadable format, as of right not it's UMD only. If someone does have a download link however, feel free to post it. (and I'm talking about non-hacked official demos) SonicNIGHT

[edit] PS2 Version?

I've heard that this will be ported to the PS2 as a budget title the way Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories were. Can anyone back this up or was it someone just being hopeful on a forum? Master Deusoma (talk) 00:40, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

no credibility about that yet Strongsauce (talk) 00:42, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
It's official, there will not be a PS2 port. Looks like PS2 people wanting to play Chains of Olympus are going to have to buy, borrow or steal a PSP to play it. Here's the story right from the developer's mouth. - Throw (talk) 20:37, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
No offense, but I doubt any developer is honestly going to state a week after a game comes out that it WILL be ported. That is just the worst strategy for selling games. A brilliant strategy is to put out a news release, claim they aren't going to, then do it 8months later. Its interesting news, but to jump the gun either way is hasty, to say the least. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.112.51.251 (talk) 03:45, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
No offense, but you're wrong. This game has been developed for the PSP using Ready At Dawn's proprietary engine for the PSP. Porting this to PS2 will require extra development expenses and resources to be devoted. Ready At Dawn has already said they are altogether moving on from PSP development and Sony is working on God of War III. This game is a system seller for the PSP, as Sony has clearly indicated by their plan to release God of War PSP bundle, just like they did with Daxter. This is also Sony owned property, not a third-party product. It is more beneficial for them to sell more PSPs than concern themselves with a few more sales on an already successful console at the end of its lifecycle. They have to compete in the handheld market and give people who doubted the PSP for this long a reason to buy the system. There is more logic and evidence to suggest that is more likely that this game will remain PSP exclusive than it is not. So unless you can provide strong evidence to prove otherwise, you're hasty in your own assumption.--Dew87 (talk) 06:52, 9 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Morpheus

So, I just beat the game and I read the plot. I never saw Morpheus, he was only talked about. I read the plots of the other games and I never saw anything there either. Did I miss something? 24.20.200.29 (talk) 04:54, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Helios

The god accompanying Athena at the ending cutscene is clearly Helios. For starters, Helios has a voice actor listed in the credits, even though he was never seen or heard from during gameplay. Also, the artifact he recovered from Kratos was his Sunshield. And lastly, the little of him we do see in the cutscene appears to resemble his high-res character model in the final cutscene of God of War II. His sandals also resemble those of the Colossus of Rhodes boss from GoW II, which was historically a giant statue of Helios. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.236.176.37 (talk) 07:18, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Beginning bit of the story

Chains of Olympus does not take place 10 years before God of War 1, the manual states that he has 10 years of servitude to the gods from the day he decides he no longer wants to serve the gods. It says nothing about CoO taking place 10 years before GoW 1. This needs to be changed somehow. (talk)
