Seriously, can anyone help me? Why did I not recieve the soundtrack, dynaic theme and other things upon picking up my pre-order at gamestop? Do they not carry it? Is it just for the bundle. I'm returning this shit because I didn't pre-order just for a lousy arena map.... I'll pick it up elsewhere as i did with LBP psp when they fucked me over with that dlc as well.

Got this in the mail today, and.. yeah, no, thing is pretty mediocre.
Nah. Shit's awesomesauce. I'm only about an hour-90 minutes into the game, and it's already been jam-packed with action. And the graphics, zomg, the graphics. They made my penis explode with Spartan rage.

Seriously. I dunno if it was because I was playing at 1 am with sleepy eyes or because I'm on a Go with more condensed pixels, but what I saw was almost exactly like the screens in the OP. Bullshots my ass, they're strikingly close to the real deal. I haven't done a side-by-side yet, but I said holy fucking shit during the opening in-game cinematic.Combichristoffersen said:

Our engine has the ability to up the resolution of screen shots. It will break down the current image on the into 16 pieces (or more). Then it will slowly take pictures each of those 16 sections (each the size of the PSP resolution). We then stitch those together to form the higher resolution screen shots.
This process will remove the jaggys that are a limitation of the PSP. So in effect you're seeing our "real art" not limited by hardware. Sometimes in the stitching process we will get a few artifacts or minor lighting issues which are sometimes touched up. But overall very little if any photoshop is done to them.

Other PSP devs should take note of how to bullshot screens better? What?SalsaShark said:
Alright, around 1h30 into GoS and I gotta say, as someone who wasn't a big fan of Chains of Olympus, I'm extremly impressed by what this game does. The pacing is just miles better, the new abilities/weapons are great additions to the combat, and the engine is just incredible. Seriously, the fire effects are better than in assassin's creed and plenty of other current gen games :lol .I'm playing with a gaming headset and I also really appreciate the efforts that went into the sound design. I wonder if it'll go downhill from here or if it'll keep surprise me.
Congratz Readyatdawn . Btw I was surprised that the Santa Monica logo appears first when you boot the game, were they really much more involved in the development of GoS?

Linda Hunt could narrate a Colgate commercial and it would still sound amazing.

... this game looks _gorgeous_ and, besides the technical prowess of the Unreal engine on IOS, it is by far the best looking handheld game. (Not talking about the art, just that... it looks like a moving painting at times.)
Now if only the gameplay was fun enough to justify playing it when not on the toilet.

. This game is really, really impressive. Ready at Dawn must have used some incantations from the Necronomicon to wring such beastly powers out of the PSP.
It looks great, but GoW 3 on a portable? C'mon son, it doesn't look that good.

I bought this on PSN today and downloaded the game and nearly 3GBs of extras... Haven't looked at anything else yet but I'm a couple hours into the game and all I can say is WOAH! This is a fantastic title! The pacing and story are great so far, control is excellent, and the game is better looking than any GoW title barring III, imho... an absolute must buy for any PSP owner!

What "he was saying" was a description of how they produce their bullshots. He never mentioned anything about how they manage they make good use of the PSP hardware.
Implementing tiled screenshots into a PSP engine isn't going to improve the graphics.

Its "close", but there's still a significant gap. The framerate is just about halved, the polygon count is clearly lower and like all PSP games, the resolution is much lower. Its easily the most impressive looking PSP game of course, but that doesn't mean its a match for the best of the PS2's offerings.
SalsaShark said:
The problem is that your explanation made no sense at all in relation to what you were quoting. Anyway, it doesn't matter.
brain_stew said:
Eh, visually it's more than up to par with those games. It really shows that it's a title made in 2010 as oppose to a couple years ago. The technological know how is much better these days. The game also has effects not present in the original PS2 games that really help the art shine. Even things like the modeling, although the game is probably lower poly, is much better than I or II.

I would also like to know a definite answer to this. My Go is 6.20 and is staying at that for the new HEN firmware, but i'd really like to get this now rather than get the UMD, rip the ISO with my PSP-2000, then wait for HEN + an ISO loader to be released.

Chains of Olympus felt like God of War Jr. to me (which was fine, different expectations being a handheld and all), but OH. MY. Just over an hour in, and this is a Big Boy God of War for sure. Amazing looking, epic, and varied level design that doesn't limit itself to boring monster arena battles. One of those games I'm forcing myself to put down so I can stretch it out longer.....I don't want to beat it in one night, I wanna savour the carnage

I say finish it and do new game+ on hard.
Played this for about and hour and a half tonight and it is fantastic. This is already so much better than Chains of Olympus and I really enjoyed that game. I am very pleased to see that the bonus videos from the first GOW were clearly the basis for this game. That stuff always seemed so much more interesting to me than what we got in GOW II. Great work Ready at Dawn. Really looking forward to playing more tomorrow.

I really liked GOW's story, it had the whole greek tragedy thing going and it was done very well. Kratos was an interesting character, he had you know, emotions other than "AWWRRGHH LETS KILL EVERYONE" i mean dude even tried to kill himself. I was sad to see they took a dump all over that in GOW II (and III), glad this is more story-focused.

Can you bump up the difficulty?
I started on normal, kinda regretting it, but I'm too far in.
