Allow me to cut in. Playstation 2 had never really faced much competition from any console. Even when the original Xbox was launched it still sold like hot cakes. PS2 was the only console to secure a huge part of third party & first party exclusive titles. Just check it's sales stats & you'll know how it managed to outsell even the PS3.

It's not a comparison of the next-generation console being on top in contrast to the PS2. It's pretty obvious that a next-generation console would have better processing power than it's older generation brethren. The only question is to how long can a older generation console sustain albeit facing competition from the newer generation. Microsoft had obliterated it's original Xbox from the grid once the Xbox 360 was supposed to be launched. But the PS2 is still going strong & shows no indication of stopping. This was never expected as every console has an estimated life is roughly 3-4 years (or less depending on the success). It's almost nearing a decade.

God of War II was not the reason for it's success but the original God of War & many other titles were. The original God of War was released in 2004, a time when people thought that PS2 had reached it's hardware limitations. It set a benchmark for lot of games available at that point. A lot of people bought the PS2 (and are still buying it) merely because it had a huge library of titles. God of War II was just one of the must-have titles. Even without it the console still had high amount of sales.

As for the stats, I got off from Wikipedia & it mentions that in 2006, PS2 sold around 6 million units in Europe alone & the 360 sold around 2 million units in Europe in 2006. So that shows how popular PS2 sales chart was even back when Xbox 360 was available.

Thanks for the stats bhai. But i only mean that ps2 is facing hardtime not downtime. Do you remember howmany blockbusters or ps2 games released in 2007...... Very less execpt god of war2. That's what i only mean.

@vamsikrishna919:As I said before they didn't make GOW-2 so they could sell more PS2, *www.1up.com/do/feature?pager.offset=1&cId=3172707 read up what the game director has to say.

Or the hole to Hades .

I have not said that they have released god of war 2 to increase the ps2 sales. But the release of God of War 2 has boosted up the ps2 reputation .during

The best way to know the story is to experience it first hand by playing it on the PS2. That is how you will feel connected to each character's. This is not a game that you would like to just read the story & hop along on any of it's series randomly. If you really need to know about it then why not try reading it over Wikipedia. They have a properly formatted storyline.

You won't know what the characters look like though as it's text only.

 

[Pathik]

You can also try reading GOW FAQ's or Walkthroughs. They also have screenshots so you will understand better. Though it will be very detailed.

Will this title would be out for PC?

 

[Ethan_Hunt]

Not a chance in hell.

 

[vamsi_krishna]

Will this title would be out for PC?

no, not at all.

Sony Computer Entertainment, has not released many games for pc. I hardly remember a game released for pc by SCE. The cause may be, they want their games exclusive for their consoles or they might be thinking why supporting microsoft by releaseing a game in their platform.

 

[Ethan_Hunt]

I hardly remember a game released for pc by SCE.

Quite simply because there isn't any SCE game released for the PC.

Holy crap. I just saw that GDC leaked gameplay. It looks dam promising. Hope there are more enemies filled onscreen simultaneously. We need a HD trailer of a gameplay footage. That way atleast we could see the graphical enhancement this game has received. Was that Kratos controlling the troll or was he just blinded out with the hits & lashing out wildly?

 

[vamsi_krishna]

^ yup...! i too checked the video in which Kratos grabs the neck of the cyclops and control it to destroy the bunch of enemies. This is one of the new features included in GOW3. The controling of a cyclops using blades reminds me the monster in garden place in POP:TTT
