God of War: Chains of Olympus - Special Edition Demo Disc

+ Posted by Cory Barlog // Creative Director, God of War: Chains of Olympus

GOWCOOpsp-demosleeve
What is up God of War fans? Sorry for the long hiatus but things have been crazy here at Casa De Kratos…much to do. I thought I would come out of my somewhat self imposed media coma to let everyone know that the PSP demo discs are freaking done baby!!! As I type these words, legions of carrier Harpies are being dispatched to deliver the sweet UMD goodness that is God of War: Chains of Olympus – Special edition: Battle of Attica Demo Disc…otherwise know as GOW: COO –SE:BoADD. Good god…that is a freaking mouthful, even typing this abbreviated version makes me tired.

That’s it for now, keeping this one quick. The game is looking absolutely amazing, btw, so I hope everyone enjoys this little taste of portable God of War goodness. As a matter of fact, I think it even got an award for the Best PSP Game, or something like that, at the Leipzig conference.

Alright, back to my work induced hibernation…

Wow. Take an anger management class or something man. They’re just games in the end. I was just hoping for some kind of answer.

I’m signed up to receive this demo, and am eagerly anticipating its arrival. I was just wondering if the included level(s) are final (locked in stone) versions that will be in the game, as they are in the demo, or are the included levels still up for tweaks before they are put into the final game. And tell your carrier harpies to hurry up because it seems like 10 years since I signed up for it and dug through the islands website for bits of info.

Yes it will. This however means nothing because nobody has actually received the demo besides the press yet. Sooo sad.

@ EVERYONE who thinks their mailman stole their demo - is it remotely possible that every single mailman stole everyone’s demo disc? LOL There has to be some kind of conspiracy going on at the post office because I haven’t seen mine either! This is sheer madness… I can’t wait any longer to get my demo (if I’m even getting one) Will some1 that got theirs please tell us because all of us here are slowly slipping into madness waiting at our mailboxes. Please let it come tomorrow or saturday. PLEASE. hahaha

Hope,

I’m not saying that mailmen(women), across the country, are all dishonest, but you have to admit that the cover art of the demo sleeve does look ultra amazing. I wish they could’ve camoflauged it a little bit, or maybe even have given it a decoy cover art of another inferior game, like pokemon tactics or something like that. If I was a mailman and saw that cover art on the demo UMD sleeve, I might be tempted also.

lakaihigh  |  October 4th, 2007 at 2:23 pm

@ OPPinoy - I hear you dude, I know what you mean. If I was a mailman or woman I would have snatched that thing up soooo fast because of the sheer awesomeness. Its just that I want my demo now sooo bad. I guess we’ll have to sit tight for a lil while longer til they get here.

Peace,

ahhhhhh… I’m losing my mind. I can’t wait any longer for this demo. It is literally eating me from the inside out. I’ve never felt like something is sooo close yet so far away. hey isn’t that a song LOL. oh well, if this demo doesn’t come tomorrow then I’m convinced that there is some kind of conspiracy going on here. I sense traitors in our midst… all mailmen and women across the nation are withholding the power that can come to our psps!!! NO!!!!!!!!!

Seriously please let it come tomorrow.

Peace,

@ EVERYONE - Update!!! did anyone else here get this email??? http://tr.innovyx.net/v?xJlJnlHEHWHvvnlHHTcP it was in response to them sending out the demo disc and he said that this was the last behind the scenes look and it was an article about the music soundtrack to the game… really cool stuff. But yeah has anyone seen this?

benjiedude  |  October 6th, 2007 at 5:20 am

October 6th and no demo. Yea, I got the e-mail. Sounds like they’re just trying to keep the crowd from rioting. Nobody has officially received this demo yet, only people claiming to without posting proof so it’s possible some have got it but again nothing proven. I don’t care about a sound clip, I want my demo. For the love of Zues…gimme my demo.

OPPinoy  |  October 6th, 2007 at 1:53 pm

I expect to have it on Tuesday. With Monday being a Federal holiday, it should give the post office enough time to get the mail to where it needs to go. They still work on federal holidays, they just don’t deliver the mail on holidays.

kenji  |  October 6th, 2007 at 2:33 pm

This might be a little too late but why isn’t this demo made available for download? Wouldn’t it reach more people and get Sony more praise if they stepped it up on this digital download initiative more appropriately?

175

OPPinoy  |  October 6th, 2007 at 3:52 pm

@kenji: They aren’t making it available for download, immediately, to reward those of us who dug through the islands website to actually find out how to sign up for the demo. The special coverart and umd is a reward for us. I’m sure there will be a downloadable download available, in a month or two, on the PSP website on playstation.com.

176

benjiedude  |  October 6th, 2007 at 5:31 pm

Rumored downloadable later without the bells and whistles. Hopefully Tuesday but I’m not getting my hopes up. This is really starting to suck!

kenji  |  October 7th, 2007 at 4:42 am

I’m still waiting for my disc to show up, but I don’t think now is the time to keep people from seeing what the PSP can do. They should be putting the demo out there for anyone who has a PSP. I know some people who no longer buy PSP games and seeing this running on their PSP would probably make them start looking at it again. I hope I get my demo by Tuesday.

ams707  |  October 8th, 2007 at 5:04 am

Well according to this really hot MAILMAN ive beeen sleeping it, if they sent it MEDIA MAil it could be up to 14 days before they are in our hands. its exemelty cheap to send it outt that way, but they dont ship it out until tthe truck is filled, meaning it can sit on a truck, or even a dock until its full, so, i have a sneaking feeling thats what it is.PATEINCE IS A VIRTUE. bla bla bla

P.s. MONDAY IS A POSTAL HOLIDAY>save your [DELETED] til tuesday ;)

OPPinoy  |  October 9th, 2007 at 3:02 am

They didn’t send it by “media mail”, whatever that is. They just send it by regular mail in umd sleeves that have one side as the coverart and the other as the mail part. This time tomorrow, no one will be posting because we will all be playing it, other than those unlucky ones who didn’t sign up. Sucks to be you. LOL

benjiedude, your a bit high strung, but we love ya, yes, it is business days. and there is NO way sending it regular mail that it would have taken this long.

October 11th 2007:

Dear diary,

Today I was expecting my God of War: Chains of Olympus demo to arrive in the mailbox. When I got to the mailbox it looked full (as usual) so I quickly grabbed up all the mail and went inside. I slowly shuffled through the mail to build the anxiety but again to my dismay I found no demo. Diary, do you think that the mailman stole my demo? hahaha you are sooo funny! I know that’s impossible. But then where could it be?

@ Cory - that last question is directed towards you buddy. You got some splainin to do! lol. but seriously where are these things at? Any info would be much appreciated.

Goodnight Diary hahahaha

Peace,
Lh
