Gah, we have to wait until the fuggin' 20 something of April in the EU :mad2:
OMFG, I plan on buying at soon as I cash the check I get on thursday, my phone bill doesn't matter, my internet bill doesn't matter, nothing matters, other than the more badass games I own, that God of War 2.
-_-' but that's tomorrow and I don't want to wait that long.
Looks like Sony copped up $120 million to settle the ol' lawsuit with Immersion and the creators of God of War II have blatantly been talking about how cool it is that the PS3 is going to get rumble. Sony hush hush about it, but this can only be a very good thing as far as I'm concerned.
Now when I have the cash, I'll finally get the kind of product I've wanted.
When I have the cash. :(
The cash. :cry:
EDIT: Oops, clicked new thread instead of reply. *merges with GOWII thread*
I will give you the cash if you do that thing with your tongue, BoB.
This is neat.
What thing with my tongue? I've been known to do a lot of things with my tongue.
PS. link
I'm not sure if Sony will really pay 120 million dollars just to get a rumble feature in its controllers. Is rumble even needed, unless of course you're into that kind of thing, that aside, I CANNOT WAIT TO GO BUY IT...still.
They have paid $120million to settle the case. That's fact. As per the link, it would be pretty silly of them to cough up that much cash for the rights to use rumble if they weren't going to continue using rumble.
So why did they have to pay for the PS3 but the PS2 didn't get sued?
I never really found rumble to be a useful feature in any game at all, unless it's one of those games where your supposed to press a button or do something when you feel the controller rumble.
To coin the name of the group behind it, it's all about game immersion.
EDIT: Oh, and.

And I'm insanely excited for God of War II. Thankfully, my brother is buying a copy because I'm too poor right now, so I get to swipe his the second he's done. I'm going to rabidly consume every precious moment of it. I loved the first so much it's ridiculous and I expect the same from the sequel.
BoB: 2004 is that way *points*
Not to derail this topic even more, but who the hell would complain about having rumble in their controller? It just adds to the experience and if you don't like it every game allows you to turn it off.
No every game, I don't think.
I can't think of one game that doesn't allow you want to turn rumble off.
Back on topic, Kratos is awesome. 8-)
God of War II doesnt deserve this amount of neglect dammit, yes yes, were all happy Sony made up, but there was a topic about this a few weeks ago. Why dont we talk about it there ?
Anyway, God of War II looks great, I loved the first one but am in a little pickle, I never beat it. Ashamed to say, but I got stuck on one of the puzzles in the first game and never went back to it. Maybe I could give it another shot or look it up on Gamefaqs *shudder*
I should try to find a copy of the first one! I had it rented one time, oooh deadly.
it's out?
well then...
*saddles up*
Settling the case doesn't mean they were paying for the rights to use rumble. It means they were sued, they lost, and they had no way around it without either paying or issuing new PS2 controllers at the very least. It's not so bad for them to not have rumble in the PS3 when none of it's games support it, but none in the PS2 when pretty much every game supports it? (For the record though, I think they likely will take up Immersion on their offer to work rumble into the PS3 since so many people like to bitch about it. Frankly, I don't care if it's there or not, but if it keeps people from complaining about the gimmick then so be it).Quote:

The agreement also provides Sony with new rights with respect to Immersion's patents." This means that they have full rights to use the patent in whichever way they please, I would imagine - be that PS2 or PS3.
Awesome Game. More Mythology, controls and leveling weapons are unchanged, more spells and such.
The inclusion on the Sisters of Fate and Prometheus are awesome, in addition to fighting on the flying horse thing.
Am I the only one here who has this game?
I think so. :(
I want Pegasus fighting plzkthx.
The hype, the story, the character (Dis Iz SpartaaaaAAaaaaAaa), and the fact that he has two swords wielded into his arms attached to chains...*drooool*
The point is, I bought the playstation 2 system JUST so I can play GoW and GoW 2 -- bought them all in one day.
*huggles system*
Also the game is very intuitive and simple. Took me a while to figure out some puzzles but basically I'm flying through.
