God of War PAL pro-scan?

I just got God of War PAL, but even pressing the X and TRIANGLE doesn't give me the option for Progressive-scan. Is pro-scan only on the US version and not in the PAL version? Once again Euro gamers getting the shaft - and not in a good sense? :rolleyes:
 
yes you ARE shafted.. should learn you to import those games if you have a nice shiny shine samsung hdtv

Well i was sure as hell the PAL version would still have the option. Sony's first party titles always retain the option... Damn i would have imported it otherwise... :devilish:
 
and if i'm not mistaken, the pal version runs slower also... (50hz < 60hz)
so that means you are F'd in the A twice :)

Umm only now, the game has been out for ages. I say you are quilty! for not getting this game sooner, penalty being no pro scan for you!. Seriously I don't understand why they have to take it away? I mean many other Pal-games has it and there really aren't any good reasons to take it away is there?
 
let me guess:


"only twice? " ;) . anyway, its a very nice game so try to enjoy it. OR sell yours and import a used ntsc copy, since its already a while out, it should be fairly inexpensive now ?

Yeah i might just trade it for something else (RE4? it does have pro scan in the PAL version!) and then import GOW NTSC.

I'm so STUPID! Especially after the great service i got from Link Sang, i got SOTC about a week after ordering, which is quite good considering where they are. And CHEAP!

Censored?! Looks pretty heavy to me... U mean the US version has more gore? is that even possible?! :LOL:

It's not actually that bad, as far as I know it's only one scene, in the US-version you have to sacrifice a human to get past an obstacle, but in the Pal-version you sacrifice a zombie, there is a writing on the wall where it says "you must make the ultimate sacrifice to get past" and when you are only sacrificing one zombie, which you kill all the time it kind of ruins the moment. I know it's just one little thing, but it would have pissed the hell out of me, luckily I have the original version.

edit: and the Human who you sacrifice screams for mercy and cries and sounds as in despair, whereas the zombie is quiet.

I kind of remember it making some noise.. but it's been a fair while since I played it.

They should've changed it so you have to sacrifice a certain lawyer from Florida.

It's the french isn't it. All their fault.

As much as I'd like to blame the French, I wouldn't normally associate them with being prudes - besides, don't they set fire to things all the time? :)

Germans, definitely. They're nuts over there about violence in computer games. All the humans (if you want to call them that) in Turok got replaced with robots, which really is quite strange, since when do robots build little wood and straw huts for themselves to live in?

Also, I really doubt GoW PAL is slower than the NTSC version. 3D games generally do not synch to the vblank rate anymore, and if GoW really did run 20% faster, it would be near unplayable for most people considering the PAL version really is quite fast already.
