Its kind of funny to me that sony had a chance to give the ps3 its first real, non multi-platform, quality game and they choose to release it on ps2. Why did they decide to do that?

Because it makes sense from a business stand-point, God of War 2 has the potential to reach a lot more people on the PS2 than it does on the PS3 at the moment.

Maybe because they dont want to leave their 100+ million PS2 owners hanging like Microsoft and Nintendo did.

Rumor has it that david jaffe has been working on it for a while now.  That explains why another developer is on gowII, and not jaffe.  With any luck we should get gowIII sooner than two years.

TP can still count as the last great game for the GC. Sony could have made 2 versions just like Tp - one for PS2 and one for PS3.

The GC and Wii really aren't that different, spec wise. If they made a PS3 version it would be expected to have PS3 graphics, while TP looked pretty much the same for both

The Wii is twice as powerful as the GC, the problem is some developers think that because of the Wiimote they don't even have to try with a game's graphics.

Same thing happened with FF12, they really should've made those ps3 exclusive and launch (or near launch) games. That would've sparked ps3 sales big time..

Why? because then they know that a person named boatload somewhere in America won't need to buy a crappy system to play a great game

Because if they had scrapped the PS2 version to make it for PS3 we wouldnt be playing it till this time next year and be waiting even longer for GoW III?

Believe that if you wish. Point being, no wii game looks better than a GC game at this point, and TP was nearly identical on both platforms. A GoW PS3 would need new re-done environments, character models, etc. People Aren't going to spend 59.99 on a PS3 game that looks like a PS2 game, especially with BC, While Wii owners really don't care, both consoles look the same (GC actually looks better as of now) so the only diffence they want is the motion sensing, price is the same too

Yeah I'm pretty sure the 720p was BS.

That's the key phrase, you know as well as I do that launch games are not a representation of what a console is truely capable of.

It wasn't nearly identical, they were exactly the same, theres a reason for that too. If GoW came out on PS3 it would probably stick to its last generation price. You shouldn't say that people would not buy it because if GoW2 was a PS3 exclusive and if I had a PS3 at this point in time, I wouldn't even care about any other game out right now for it as much as GoW2, or it selling for a 59.99 price.

theres a big bifference in the two games. sony could have made the devs put gow2 on ps3. however, ffxii is not being developed by a sony team. square can do whatever they want.

So would just about any other game. If Sony cant take a risk and develop a good game for their own system, then why should anyone else? Look what we got from Sony first party so far ; NBA'07, Genji and Untold Legends.

True to an extent. Still GoW2 has been in development for a very long time and at the time they decided to concentrate on pushing the PS2 capabilities not the PS3. I take a look at the recent videos and reviews and I find myself excited to play it. Not sad because it did not come to the PS3. People usually complain about support when the new console of that said brand arrives. So, why is this such a bad thing?

I just played the demo of God of War 2 on my ps3. The game is fun and looks pretty good, but, it does look dated now, sad to say. Im sure the ps3 was in development as long as GOW2, kind of side by side. It should have been a natural fit with the launch of PS3. Short sighted on Sonys part as far as im concerned. Yeah, they want to make money on the game and sell it to millions of ps2 owners, but what better game to kick boost the sales of their expensive new hardware system, huh?
