God of War 2 - PS2 or PS3??

I have a PS3 now, and I am stoked about GoW2.  Only thing is, do I hook up my PS2 again only for the rumble feature, or stick it out on the PS3 with the (much more convenient) wireless controller?

Of course I am not expecting any Sixaxis compatibility, but I wonder if the PS3 will display crisper graphics than the PS2 on the same HDTV?  Has anyone tried a comparison?  If not, I will do so and post a response when I buy the game this weekend.

I heard rumors that although its a ps2 game, they are still coding 720p into the game so it'll look better on a ps3.. I think that rumor was on this forum somewheres..spliffchillum

Just a quick comment: I'm not a fan of backward compatibility but have recently tried both GTA: Vice City Stories (which already looks horrible on the PS2) and God of War II on my PS3, running through to the first save point in both. They look nearly identical on both my PS2 and PS3 though the PS3 tends to shimmer sometimes and have more vsync problems (where you see the rotating scenery drawn sometimes in stuttering chunks) with progressive scan than on the PS2. It's not enough to dissaude you from playing them on the PS3 if your PS2 is put away or gone.

In the end though, I keep my PS2 hooked up and enjoy the rumble, particularly on God of War II where it is used for good effect thoughout the game.

the game does have the encoding to support progressive scan but..... I really hate to say this but I'm really missing the rumble feature and I'm quite happy that it'll soon make its return in the third installment of the game. jigga1142

Ps3.....I like my wireless controller too much. No rumble doesn't bug me and picture is just as good. gamefan
