First of all, Cory, I just wanted to say that God of War 2 is my favorite action game of all time. Amazing stuff.

essentially, all i’m waiting for is the white psp bundle to come out, and then bam, i will buy this as well, too bad i didn’t know about the demo earlier or i would have signed up oh and your software development co is like the coolest, i can’t believe you flew that guy that made the case mod GOW stylee to play GOW: COO –SE:BoADD or just plain old GOW COO, whats more is how awesome it was that he donated a portion of it to penny arcade, the both a-yuhs, class acts

Why is there no downloadable version of the demo?

sectionz  |  September 28th, 2007 at 6:08 am

@Overcrook: i love to speculate so I would say hold on to your hat there because it has GOT to be coming. Looks like our “demo” is getting a red carpet treatment with this special edition stuff .. I would not be surprised if this was not one of the first VIA PS Store demos for the PSP we see.

Shiloa  |  September 28th, 2007 at 7:34 am

That cover is full of awesomeness. It just needs a Transformer and it would be the greatest thing ever created.

Anyway, can’t wait for this and can’t wait for God of War III which I’m sure is in the works.

TONX  |  September 28th, 2007 at 8:00 am

Can’t wait to get this demo. Kratos is the effing man.

StormLord  |  September 28th, 2007 at 8:11 am

yay! I can’t wait

zapruder  |  September 28th, 2007 at 9:03 am

does it use psp Slim ’s extra power?

deadxbabiesxinc  |  September 28th, 2007 at 9:25 am

is this a preorder from gamestop thing or a downloadable thing?

wh0am1  |  September 28th, 2007 at 9:28 am

HOLY CRUD!!!!!

Will the demo be on PSN!!!!!!!!!!????????

PSPMAN07  |  September 28th, 2007 at 10:02 am

@ 71 and 72

The Demo is on UMD, because its a PSP title, I very seriously doubt there will be a PSN version of the Demo, because no other PSP Demo’s have been on PSN. Not sure if you get one if you pre-order, but there was a link a while back saying if you signed up for the demo, one would be shipped to you, so I’m guessing if you didn’t sign up, you’re out of luck

Lp47  |  September 28th, 2007 at 10:09 am

Ive always loved god of war i own both 1 and 2, and their amazing games. I cant wait to get god of war: chains of olympus for my psp. Also i live in canada but i signed up for the disc early, please dont jue me out. Im a huge fan and just because im in canada shouldnt mean i dont get to play the demo.

PS: Sony should announce and show God of War 3 for PS3 sometime before christmas or something just to get the hype up.

Lp47  |  September 28th, 2007 at 10:16 am

I know you guys are working on her.

mp7a1mobsta  |  September 28th, 2007 at 11:23 am

im actually buying a psp for the lone purpose of playing this game… and all hell will break loose in the gaming community once gow III, comes rampaging onto the ps3… keep up the good work Mr. Barlog

XxBigP123xX  |  September 28th, 2007 at 11:51 am

@75
you’re wrong. there was a locoroco demo on the psn for the psp.

Chef Skillz  |  September 28th, 2007 at 12:39 pm

This game is the ONLY REASON I am proud to own a PSP. I don’t own much software for my PSP, but this game is MUST OWN on day one! Can’t wait to get my demo disc.

kratos_theGOW  |  September 28th, 2007 at 12:41 pm

GOD OF WAR 1 and 2 on PS2. GOD OF WAR:CHAINS OF OLYMPUS on PSP

Mr.CORY BARLOG u r trapped because there must be now GOD OF WAR 3 for PS3.

your next-gen machine needs that most…

kratos_theGOW  |  September 28th, 2007 at 12:43 pm

call DAVID JAFFE and start developing GOD OF WAR 3.

orbio234  |  September 28th, 2007 at 12:56 pm

just got back from wal mart….they have a lower price on the psp….its to celebrate their anniversary in canada

LoyalistRevolt  |  September 28th, 2007 at 1:23 pm

Thats Weird I signed up for this the Day they launched the demo and never got an email saying that I’m getting one…..Whats that all about?

rukusa  |  September 28th, 2007 at 1:52 pm

Holy hell Cory, youre sucha damn tease!

I CANT wait for GOW3.

Its going to be damn epic!

Just like Insomiac’s Resistance 2 :):

Psst! Insomniac guys (I know you read this blog :P)! look at my suggestions ;( ;

- NO HUD, instead, make a function (press, hold button to expose clip, release to pop back in?) that lets you pop out your clip and count how many bullets you have left. That would be awesomely innovative in my book. It would be a GREAT detail if you see if from my perspective.

- visiting more countries, being able to choose your path(maybe? - not necessary though).

blu_usher  |  September 28th, 2007 at 2:43 pm

God of War is a marvelous franchise and I think it would greatly benifit sony to take it as seriously as MS takes Halo, marketing wise. I am looking forward to Chains of Olympus but I would be remiss if I didn’t say I have high hopes for part 3. So, if you do read this I would like to make a suggestion for GOW3. What if there was an unlockable mode in GOW3 that allowed the game to be played through the second time while entirely in a “first person mode”?! I know it would be a challenge but I think it would have a ridiculous pay off. If not that, maybe place the camera a bit closer to Kratos so the games epic qualites could be even more realized. Imagine performing all of Kratos’ abillities in first person while taking on as many on screen enemies that were introduced in Heavenly Sword… Anyway, good luck and I can only hope that GOW 3 is at least three times a long as part II! In the meantime the chains will suffice.

Oh yeah! I am now ready for the GoW CoO demo because the GameStop by my house got that sexy black PSP 2001 in today. How did you guys fit all that tech in such a small, light and sexy machine? I love it. Thanks.

fuzzysquash  |  September 28th, 2007 at 3:28 pm

Barlog! Give us God of War III!

Al2x  |  September 28th, 2007 at 3:32 pm

Make sure you guys get one to me, I signed up! Better not get snubbed, again…

Globox82  |  September 28th, 2007 at 3:50 pm

PSP power!

Loki_344  |  September 28th, 2007 at 4:23 pm

Finally.

Hitman_Legend  |  September 28th, 2007 at 5:02 pm

Lol these posts are hilarious

Kpepe  |  September 28th, 2007 at 5:20 pm

Nice way to unofficially “announce” GoW 3 on PS3. I can’t wait to be the newest member of the good looking franchise. I will probably get this game on PSP when I get my new PSP Slim hopefully next week.

self.confessed.cynic  |  September 28th, 2007 at 5:45 pm

Garr - my money… all… gone.

Ah well - time to up and buy a PSP and PS3.

Everyone knows the only contenders for best action games ever are Devil May Cry, God Of War and Ninja Gaiden.

So Cory - two questions (hope they get answered)

- What do you think of the competition? Think you can out-class Ninja Gaiden 2? (I think you can)

- How do you feel about people calling you Cory Balrog? (and have you considered changing your name? I would.)

PS3_GAM3R  |  September 28th, 2007 at 7:04 pm

Cory thank you so much for the great news!!! Finally I can get my hands on this DEMO, and will for sure buy this game on day one. In fact it’s paid in full-pre-order! Wow I am so happy. I am planning on buying the new SLIM PSP soon also. I got in to GOW late, but I do own the 1st one, and just bought the 2nd one. This is awesome. As a LOYAL Sony fan I am fricken HAPPY! I already own a PS3 also, becuase I love Sony! Bring on more great news, and tell us GOW 3 will be out Late 08!!

mrlogical  |  September 28th, 2007 at 8:00 pm

I only just got a PSP a few weeks ago, so maybe I missed something on this–how exactly does one get the GoW PSP demo disc? Is this for sale? For free? For preorderers? Or did I have to sign up at some point? Can I still get one?

MrDaBucket  |  September 28th, 2007 at 9:05 pm

Hey Cory!
How’s it going? Still at Sony Santa Monica and working with R.A.D. for GoW? That sounds cool.
Do you know if any special features will come with the retail version like what came on the GoW1 DVD and the bonus stuff on the GoW2 DVD (I preferred the GoW2 bonus material )?
That’d be great.
Anyways, thanks for taking the time to inform us gamers of this and if you ever get tired, I’d be glad to take your job……or any job working with SCEA games in creative design…….think about it. It’d be for the best to hook me up with that job.

Sincerely, you’reluckyIlikeyoumorethanDave fan…..Stephen P. AKA MrDaBucket AKA MDB AKA DaMan AKA your real dad.
