God Of War II Enters Beta Stage
The smash hit game of 2005 was without a doubt God of War from the creative team at Sony’s Santa Monica development studio. Since that time gamers have been anxiously awaiting the day they could rip through their digital enemies as the ultra cool Kratos once again. Well according to Cory Barlog, the director of God of War II, the highly anticipated sequel to what many regard as the best action game ever on the PS2 platform, that day will be very soon. He informed the gaming press that the game is now in Beta and that the development team is readying a demo for Kratos crazed factions to sink their “chaos blades” into.
Some extremely lucky SCEA employees were given the chance over Christmas to take home copies of the beta and tear through the game to discover bugs so that these bugs could be addressed. The original God of War was hailed for being almost completely bug free; a feat rare for such a large scale epic game. There are talks of a demo being made available in late January or early February.
Well I know I cannot wait for that beta being perhaps the biggest Kratos fan around. I never thought a game could be better than the original, but after seeing the God of War II trailer I came to realize that thankfully I was dead wrong. This might be one of the most played PS2 games on the PS3 for quite a while.
