God of War 2, even though developed for the PS2...is a must buy game for the PS3.  With its 720p Wide Screen support..the game is going to look amazing on my LCD.

Remember Zelda TP was designed for the Gamecube then, was put of the Wii with the new Wii-mote control.  I look at God of War 2 in the same reguard.  Yeah it was created for the PS2..but it has 720p support added to the game instead of a new way to control the game..

So if Zelda TP is considered next gen...then I consider God of War 2 next gen.

God of War 2 and Ninja Gaiden Sigma on the PS3.... AWESOME !!!

It will be upscaled, right? And, is the logo on the box going to say "Playstation 2" or "Playstation 3"?

I doubt it will look good. When you take a PS2 game and display it at a higher res, it just makes the ugly textures stand out that much more clearly.

Being able to display a game at 720p that wasn't designed specificly for HD gaming is not such a good thing at all.

But on the plus side it will help clean up the jaggs a bit.

is it a bad thing to utilize a system's backward compatability?

before Gears of War was released, Halo 2 was the most played Xbox Live game.

my friend bought NGB to play on his Xbox 360 in 720p, I fail to see how it is wrong.

And no, God of War 2 is not a Next Gen game by any standard. It's a PS2 game.

The difference between the two is the fact that Zelda TP was still released as a proprietary Wii game and seperately as a GameCube game. GOW 2 is not a PS3 game. It is still a PS2 game and thus is still considered a last gen game despite the 720p enhancements. Hell, there are some games on the Xbox that displayed in 1080i provided you had the proper cables.

I don't really care what resolution it is in. I like the first game and will play the second. I have a PS3 and will play the game on it.

Call of Duty (original) still looks like crap in 2500x1500 by todays standards. This is a nice feature for PS3 owners but hyping a PS2 game for its graphics is just pathetic.

While I don't regard this as any sort of comparison to Zelda it looks like a pretty sweet game and something anyone who has a PS2 or PS3 should probably pick up.  Leave it to SW to bash a game that scores 9.7 at IGN.  What a bunch of haters.

We arent bashing the game we are pointing out how pathetic it is for cows to be hyping the 720p feature. Ill be getting a PS2 for GoW2 myself.

I don't blame them, there is nothing worth playing at the moment on the PS3. This game is a god send to all PS3 owners and gamers in general.

I think I'm going to dust off my old PS2 once more so that I can play this game. I thought Res Evil 4 was going to be it's final outing but this game looks too good to miss.

It is a nice bonus to be able to play this at higher rez but nobody but the over zealous TC was really hyping anything. Its not like a PS2 game is a PS3 system seller because of a bump in rez.

Most of them don't even run on a 360 :))

God of war > any 360 games, except Ninja Gaiden.

God of War 2 is going to sell a crapload on the PS3 as well as the PS2. This beauty on GOW2 is gonna sell like hotcakes for both consoles, even during a month of insane influx of games.

God of War 2 looks sickeningly amazing on the PS2, I cant wait to get it. I am sure the PS3 version will pwn hard as well.

There is no PS3 version.  It's just the PS2 version has extras when played on a PS3.

BioShockOwnz

There were over 150 million consoles sold last generation and the PS2 is still selling every well. There are roughly 15 million next generation consoles sold so far. There are alot of people who havent moved on, and dont plan to any time soon. Therefore alot of them probably care.
