While you might think that the life of an Olympian god is a pretty plum assignment, we’ve learned over the course of the God of War series that it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. Series protagonist Kratos has been deceived, used, and generally abused by petty gods and titans, ultimately driving him to the brink of madness and sending him into a hate-fueled rage to destroy all those who toy with the lives of mortals. Ghost of Sparta, the latest entry into the series and Ready at Dawn’s second God of War PSP title, attempts to show players how Kratos started down the path of madness. The result is an impressive title that breathes new life into the PSP, but in a few respects it falls short of its console brethren.
The must play PSP Games every gamer will enjoy.
Lone Echo developer Ready at Dawn has reportedly been heavily affected by the latest round of job cuts at Meta Quest.
I thought Sony owned them. 1/3 of their studio was laid off including the studio head. Jesus, they were literally acquired by Meta in 2020 and now their whole studio has been gutted. They should have focused on making console games instead of pursuing VR. I kinda wished MS would have bought them in 2018 when they were acquiring smaller studios. They would have been a good acquisition.
What a waste of talent and potential this studio turned out. Oh what could've been, just another victim of fabricated outrage.
What's even more depressing ...
Ready at Dawn had a working PC version of Order 1886 ready and showed it off at SIGGRAPH 2015.
* sigh* we'll never get that, nor Order 1887
pity, their proprietary graphics engine was ahead of its time ...
I thought the order was one of the best games on PS4. Intersesting characters, nice gameplay, cool weapons. Shame Sony let IGN fanboys dictate what to incest in.
Im actually more surprised that Ready at Dawn devs still exists, I havent hear of them until this article appeared , what have they being doing all this effing time?, at least throw 60 fps patch for the Order.
Kratos has been on a rampage, killing Gods in epic battles since 2005. With each release managing to offer high-octane action, I explore each God of War title and rank every adventure from his journey to Olympus to his Norse tales of fatherhood.
I won’t rank Ragnarok just yet, although it is honestly leaving me and my wife blown away…won’t go into details right now, not done as I assume others aren’t either, maybe some of you are, idk haha.
But here’s how I rank them
5. God of War 3
4. God of War Ascension.
3. God of War 1.
2. God of War 2.
1. God of War 2018.
1. God of war 3
2. God of war 2018
3. God of war 2
4. God of war 1
Haven't played the others but about 30 hrs In to ragnarock now so safe to say if it keeps up it will end up being at the top of my list when I'm done.
I will say the pacing of the original titles and the epic feel to them I feel is way better than the new one’s. Like, I could recognize and appreciate the praise God of War received, but it bores me to tears except for the pivotal moments.
However, that being said I feel Ragnarok is waaaaay better than 2018. I’m only on Ch. 6, but it’s pretty much rocked my face off from the get-go.
I’m really split between this being my GotY or Elden Ring.
I think different games in the series had different strengths but all are great. I liked the original as it was an origin story and the mechanics were fresh. The sequel added smoother gameplay. Three was just so far ahead of it's time graphically it wasn't even funny. Plus great gameplay and bosses and insane gore and nice use of sexy time. The reboot was cool but lost a lot of what I liked about the original trilogy (I don't need my games grown up, just fun). Will wait and see with ragnarok as haven't had time to play it yet.
Was there any doubt this was going to be good?
Dammit, now I'm becoming even more interested in playing the GoW series.
God, I want this game so hard.
The first GoW on PSP was so damn good. I'm glad this one doesn't suck too hard. The storyline has always been lame, really.
I've always enjoyed the GoW series, even on the PSP. Its too bad that Ready At Dawn isn't going to make any more due to PSP piracy.
