Are those REALLY in-game?:oops:. I don't see any HUD
 
Let's hope Sony gives this title special attention when one day they implement emulation-based backwards compatibility on the PS3, so they can give it this kind of high resolution and anti-aliasing in-game!

Heres the quote from the first post of this thread..
#2 - It's Being HD Optimized: As many players have upgraded to HDTVs since the original God of War shipped, God of War 2's programming team has spent quite a bit of time on making sure the game looks solid if players run it in high definition. "We're aware that there's a lot more HDTVs in the marketplace than there necessarily was a couple years ago," says Moss. "We spent a lot of time on making the resolution a bit higher, making sure art looks really nice on TVs, progressive scan -- all that kind of stuff."

Not exactly sure what that means, but if it looks anything better than GOW1(which looks amazing), consider me impressed. :)
 
The PS2 is a truly resiliant piece of technology......and of course the developers are truly talented to get this kind of result. Those screens could pass for a decent Next Gen title if you ask me, either way, its gorgeous and I want to play it.

All those people who felt the need to consistently dog the hardware can shove it at this point.


This is going to be another stellar for gaming.
 
Indeed. And the content in the game is so varied and detailed that its unbelievable for such an old system. The stuff Kratos can do and the things happening on screen are crazy. This is what I was ecpecting to see in next gen gameplay and art, not on an old system. Its ironic that many "next gen" titles feel like the old games under a better skin, while this one feels more advanced and rich than many of these "next gen" games.

Well it's a good thing that the game is basically just around the corner! The wait is almost over. This is my most anticipated PS2 game ever, even topping the excitement I had for FF10 back in the day...
The first God of War was a uber great game, but I didn't know basically anything about it until like a week prior to its release, but this time I have waited this game ever since I finished the first one :LOL:
This series has it ALL.
 
Heres a good interview with Cory Barlog

Information on the 2nd disc included..
GI: God of War I was one the best games that—without having a limited edition—had some really good DVD-styled, behind-the-scenes stuff. What do you have planned for God of War II?

Barlog: It’s sort of cool, because we planned the two-disc thing a long time ago. We were like, “We should have two discs and we should sell it for the same price,†and they were like, “Huh, you’re crazy,†and we were like, “No, seriously, it would be awesome.†We’re hoping that it’ll be the last big game on the PS2, and that would be awesome to give the fans something really cool and not f___ing gouge them for it, and not charge them a ton. So we were already planning on doing that, and then three months ago we realized that we ran out of space on the first disc. All of our game content filled the dual-layer disc. So we were like, “Wow, it’s so good that we planned it,†but then all the stuff we’d planned to unlock, all of those DVD bonuses we were going to put on the second disc, now we have this huge DVD bonus on the second disc. We’ve got a lot of stuff: background on the characters, the back story of the playtest—the playtest from the beginning of the game all the way through the playtest at the end of the game, so you can see how people are playing it and what their responses are. A big 40-minute documentary, which is like all of us bitching at each other and going through the turmoil that is making a game—which I think is cool. To me, it’s cooler because we’re focusing more on the people. It’s not just like, “Hi, my name is Todd, and I do this in the game,†and then they sit in front of their computer and they demo it. We had a little bit of that, for the people who are interested in knowing what it’s all about, but a lot of it is about peoples’ lives, you know? It’s like an episode of the Real World, only, you know, people you may want to watch. Or maybe not—maybe you’re just going to curse the screen and go, “Shut up!â€

A lot longer than the first game it seems, which is awesome. :D
GI: You say you filled the disc. How long is the game in comparison to the first game, for the average player?

Barlog: For the average player, our playtests are around 15-17 hours. We had playtests that were going up to 19 hours, but those are what we considered to be the more casual player. I would say, for the average player, if you’re not trying to blaze through it as fast as possible—there’s one guy we saw doing that who got through in about 13 hours, and that was the first time he played. He tried to just go through everything, he didn’t try to find any secrets or try to do anything. It still look him about 13, 13 and a half hours. So I would say if you’re playing at a normal pace, it’s going to be a 15-17 hour game.

15 hour game? YESSSS!!!! :D

That's all I need really. I beat the first game in 10 hours and it still was one of the best games I've ever played.
