Most prolly some marketing strategy.

meh fuck that shit. i've waited 4 months for this game

 

[Ghost]

for.fuck.sake.

Of course it's not cool for some. Don't despair it's so worth the wait!

 

[thorns]

Even if you hate microsoft, the one thing they've done right this time has been their pal releases.. there hardly has been a delay more than 1 month (if even that) for the first party games.

 

[jenov4]

haw haw...

PAL gets fucked over once again.

 

[ZeMMiK]

some dutch sites still think it is 24/6.
but amazon has july 8 as release date... keep you updated if i see it earlier in the dutch shops than july 8

 

[sly]

I'm sure C-Warrior has something to do with this :lol

 

[B E N K E]

I actually contacted the Swedish distributor and the games have been sent out to shops and it will release on wednesday. I suspect it may be delayed in the UK only.

 

[Guenther]

Got a shipping confirmation of the PAL version today, so it doesn´t look like it´s delayed - at least not in Austria.

 

[Deg]

OLD. This was said weeks ago. I think they might advertise the game. Sony have been very quiet lately but its not like they need to advertise. :lol

edit: It would have clashed with Tekken 5 and BF2. GOW deserves its own week IMO as its a new franchise.

 

[Elios83]

Here in Italy it doesn't seem it will be delayed..or at least all the shops have it out on 22.

 

[Solid]

so what? it's only delayed in the uk? that's strange.. no?

guess i have to wait 2 more weeks then

 

[C- Warrior]

I'm sure C-Warrior has something to do with this :lol

I'm Rick James bitch!

 

[Solid]

this is how the scandinavian version will look like. not so good pic though. kinda cool they went with a gamespot quote. they usually take PSM or OPM

 

[Ryudo]

Like so many PS2 games, it takes way too long to get them here if at all. That very fact makes me care less about playing them.

 

[Gazunta]

Just FYI it came out today in Australia.

(Presumably the other PAL territories required languages the Australian one didn't)

No idea if anything has been cut...

 

[TheJollyCorner]

God of War (PAL) delayed??! #1

I can't feel bad for you.... sons of bitches got the Silent Hill 2 Collectors Package that us Yankees never got!

 

[Keio]

Actually a lot of people picked GoW up from stores in Finland yesterday, so the PAL version is ready, pressed and distributed. I guess the delay was too late to stop Finnish sales

 

[Cronos]

It's already released here in The Netherlands too, since yesterday!

 

[Forsete]

Argh! I wants IT!

Why does Battlefield 2 and God of War have to be released on the SAME DAY? Probably two of the best games this year on the same day, stupid!

I have both ordered now anyway, BF2 should be here today and if the online shop ships my GoW copy today I should have that tomorrow.

Dont forget Tekken 5

 

[Elios83]

As predicted it was released yesterday,I'm still at the beginning in Athens but the first comment is: it rocks!

 

[Forsete]

:|

I forgot. A must have for sure.

Are you really getting post tomorrow? It's the Hedonist Feast time again in Sweden you know...

Hmm, good question. Its not a red day though?
What a pity, my GoW trapped in the post office for the weekend, poor thing.

 

[8bit]

It's apparently out everywhere except the Island.

 

[Ceb]

Been playing this all night. Soooo worth the wait, which makes me happy since I didn't have terribly high expectations for it despite all the positive US reviews.

Can't really understand the complaints about the "lack of bosses". The levels (if you can call them that) are linked together so perfectly that throwing in mid-level and final bosses just for the sake of it would just have made everything feel more disjointed.

I loved DMC3, but this is a much more entertaining overall experience.

 

[123rl]

Does the PAL game have a 60Hz mode? Fucking Sony...why release it in Europe now APART from the UK? And in the same week as they raped us over PSP imports. Sony just love their biggest European market, don't they!

I really want this game despite my hatred for Sony. But no 60Hz = no sale...

 

[Solid]

But no 60Hz = no sale...

c'mon. the game can float really good despite that. i hear there is no 60hz but it's a very good conversion. i've played a few games lately that doesn't support 60hz (mgs3, gt4) and they all work great because they put effort in to those versions. i can't see god of war being any different. it's not like we're talking ffx boarders here

 

[Forsete]

If the conversion is a good one there should not be any speed differences between 50 and 60 Hz (look at the Jak games for a good example, look at DMC or FFX for bad examples. )

Personally I perfer the higher resolution of PAL over NTSC 60Hz.

 

[Suerte]

...Sony must have forgotten to register the trademark again! :lol

 

[123rl]

MGS3's 50Hz didn't bother me because it still ran really well. GT4's did though. It was so obvious that the game was running slower than it should be, and the extra jaggies were almost too much

I know there's more to a game than 60Hz but it is important, IMO. Anything that requires precise timing can be really screwed up in 50Hz (try playing Street Fighter 2 in 50Hz mode immediately after playing it in 60Hz)

 

[123rl]

Personally I perfer the higher resolution of PAL over NTSC 60Hz.

Me too, but speed is probably just as noticeable as the higher resolution. That's why PAL60 is the way forward

But does anyone listen to me? No of course they don't...

 

[ram]

i am waiting for my uk copy, but if some of you guys have this game already, can you answer my question please?

does god of war have the prpgressive mode in the pal version too? or did sony cut it out like in gt4?

 

[Wollan]

Did GT4 ever have progressive scan?
Anyway, lots of other PS2 PAL games support PScan so I would think it would still be there.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Mine will *strokes game accelerator disc*.

the jap and us versions does, but the pal version not.

 

[ZeMMiK]

It seems to be in the shops in Holland...happy playing everybody.
Just got the sea snakes down...this game rocks!!

Damnit, I'll never buy a game in Sweden again.
