late night refreshing!

So here I am recovering from a cold I got in Vegas from drinking waaay too much and sleeping waaay too little. I am sure you will all see the evidence of that in any of the babble filled interviews I did about the game. Anyway I am perched here in front of my computer hitting the refresh button on several gaming websites to see if any reviews have come up. Lame I know…but since this is my first the reviews do mean a whole lot more to me than they ever have. I have become so accustomed to not caring about the reviews of the game I work on that it is a real shock to the system to be unable to sleep until I see the first that pop up.

From what I understand from the marketing folks and the journo’s I met at D.I.C.E. the reviews should start popping up as early as midnight tonight…well this morning….fuck it…now. In the long run I don’t think it will be healthy for me to read the reviews too much, but since this is such a huge freaking deal to me here I am clicking the refresh button again.

I saw the game trailers preview…bummer about them not getting to finish. I think they ran into some of the issues the team fixed after the review code went out. That is the nature of the beast when sending out the disks before we go through the final steps of QA. I can’t wait to hear their responses when they get the final disks though.

I need to go to sleep…I am tired and this medicine I am on is making me drowsy…but I can’t…gotta’ see what the verdict is. So fucked up isn’t it? I am not someone who really needs outside validation to feel confident in the work I have done. I mean, I love the game, and I know we have done something great. But that is just me...and I am biased like a mother fucker. Oh well life’s a bitch I guess…we will just have to see what we will see.

Refreshing pages again…still nothing. The funny thing is I am probably the only sucker up…they are all most likely asleep nursing the aftermath of their D.I.C.E induced hangovers. Pathetic…me…not them.

Holy shit…the ign review is up…I am going to read it.

Holy shit…a 9.7…nice! After reading it I was expecting a sense of relief to just rush over me, but alas it has not. It is a great review and I am so incredibly psyched that they liked it, but I will hold my jumping around and dancing for when the game is actually on the shelevs. I think I need to just step back from everything now…maybe get back to work on the story I am fleshing out now and figure this fucker out. Still many details to work out! I just got a call from Nate, one of the designers, telling me about the review. I think a bunch of us are going to go out and have a nice celebratory dinner and a few drinks…that should be fun. I think I will need to get to sleep soon so I shake this freaking cold.

All right y’all…later!

cory

UPDATE:

here is the 1up review as well...pretty good. Doh...and I saw that Ken Z already beat me to the IGN review posting in his comment earlier. Nice catch man.

best post I have read yet...NEOGAF forum..."A 9.7. Ouch! I guess Cory messed up."

Man...if 9.7 is messing up...then I am ok with messing up now and again. :)

ANOTHER UPDATE:

The gamezone review is here...pretty cool stuff as well. Thanks to Eric for finding this one!!

KEEPING WIHT THE UPDATE THEME...NEW UPDATE:

The gamespy review is up...very cool to see they enjoyed the game. going off to enjoy some dinner with the God of War 2 guys soon...maybe I will write a new post tonight.

Hope that didn't sound too demanding...

Awesome fucking job... I'm gonna watch that GT preview again and again and again and again and again!!!

props to the whole team!!! Seriously I have never been in a situation where every freaking memeber of the team is triple A! Big ups to every memeber of this team who worked thier ass off to make this game what it is!

P.S. demos coming soon. I go into the office tomorrow and tuesday...so I will know if they have arrived then.

There you are Soul. Have you watched all the new vids at GameTrailers and 1UP? I trust you read IGN's review...1UP's too.

It just keeps getting better and better..IGN sounded almost sad that some of the features are for the more 'elite' of players to have fun with....I couldn't be happier.."suck it noobs!" Get better if you want to play in the Arena of the Fates! We are going to steamroll GoWII hardcore!

~I knew my faith in you wasn't misplaced Barlog..you've done very well and I haven't even had the chance to play it personally.. I'm not an easy person to please. It just happens to be that I'm a big fan of Greek Myth and 'violent vidoegames' (BRUTALITY FTW). FPS just don't cut it for me.

---It is probably for my own good that I don't have the demo yet.. I've got another report coming up that requires me to do something new (going to a Shooting Range and Shooting things..I don't like guns) or I'm totally going to have a hard time passing the class. If I had the demo already I'd never work on it..but that doesn't mean I'm not craving it everyday.

NOTE: You seem to be looking for reviews from fans..I'm not good at reviewing but I am good at exploiting and mastering the game. Would you be interested in seeing what TUGOWU's top GoW players can do in a few months time?

Jonathan Hawkins said...

I'll be there for sure!!! I'm so pumped right now I can't goto bed hhahahahah!!!!

Anonymous said...

I've read IGN and 1Up's reviews..

"SUCK IT NOOBS" is righT!!!

Hell, they can't play God of War like we can.. We totally rule their collective asses.

Cory, you... I dunno!! I'm utterly speechless!!!! AHHHHH!!!

A said...

Cory, I want to say congrats on having all your hard work pay off. You are truly the friendliest, most accessible game director I have ever seen, and you put up with all of us rabid fans without telling us where to shove it. Can't wait to see what incredible games you create in the future, and long live GOW!!!!

P.S. Where's my demo? (j/k)

Me moreso. You already know what they're discussing. I would sacrifice any damn thing to play this game a month early like those lucky bastards.

Glad they gave the music a 10. I need the soundtrack now, even more than knowing the final boss.

PS, Zeus looks fucking cool. Looks like he ate a little more hamburgers and worked out more this time around.

Anonymous said...

I can tell you right now I'm going to LOVE this game. Already playing God Of War again (on god mode for the eighth time), I can tell there's a lot of differences between the two. Most notably the sound effects. In the first game they sound a little more bland and uninteresting, but in this one, every swing has a very loud sound that makes me piss myself a little. I keep watching the preview and pounding my speakers at six in the morning. Bravo GOW, you keep accomplishing new goals.

Best of luck to all you guys, and I sincerely hope this game receives game of 2007, but it'll be hard with stiff competition like Assassin's Creed, Unreal Tournament III, Crysis, among others obviously.

I wish I found this blog beforehand, so I could have secured a demo. Oh well, eBay here I come. I don't even know if you're sending them to Canada either so maybe I didn't just lose out on being unattended after all.

I hope you guys post more artwork soon!

Anonymous said...

Bravo! Congratulations on the great reviews!

I'm a big fan of the first game (best game I've ever played, without a doubt) and I'm so happy that the sequel is even better than the first!

Can't wait to play it!

Now, everyone take a good vacation, read up on some more greek mythology, and come back ready to give us God of War 3 on the PS3!

Cory! Dude... I'd like a demo... No...I need a demo...I gotta get my hands on this, and I know it will take ages for it to get to me where I'm at right now. (Uganda)

cory, I feel your pain.

fuck, I hate it when I
have a cold...

WillW-UK said...

Hiya cory congrats,

"The One" Cory is not accepting any more requests for demos.

Secondly, Cory, I have seen the final weapon,

Its was seen in the latest vid at gametrailers and it shows a guy who K is fightin and he is using a ice spear which summons ice crystals.

ICE SPEAR and how,

BKHammer icon is a hammer, BoOlympus is a sword and 3rd is a spear.

Theres 2 new bosses, an human which has a spear and a titan, a blue-coloured.

Unknown said...

to "simsward007"

its not a spear, its posiedones trident.

there ya go.

Anonymous said...

Hi Cory, can you give some technical description of how you're going to achieve 720p on the PS3? I was wondering if used some special display mode known only to the PS3 or if you're using some kind of PS2 emulation which includes upscaling to obtain higher resolutions "for free". I know Sony are working on PS2 software emulation so it would be interesting to know if that's how you are doing it.

This is not end!,Cory what the name of gow2 (divine retribution)or(the end begin).

Thanks gow team for this game!

thecapps said...

Congrats! I was a little pessimistic that this could live up to the the original, but after reading IGN and 1UP's reviews it looks like you've at least made a comparable game, if not even better. And freakin' 720p support (according to IGN)!! You guys are awesome. Can't wait to try it out on my HDTV. How much will the two disc set cost? $50-60 sounds about right.

Congrats again, now get some rest!

Congratulations on all the great reviews Cory.=) Now it's up to us, players, to keep up with the level of praise for the game, and I bet it won't be hard. Portugal salutes you.

Anonymous said...

Congratilations, Cory! I promise you lots of feedback when I play the game.
Can somebody please paste here the 1up review or at least the important parts of it for me? I can't open the site.

Anonymous said...

By the way, the IGN review is really VERY lame. My grandma would've written it better, and she hasn't played a single game in her life. Those folks are getting their money for nothing. One thing they are really good at is to kill your feelings for the game completely...they do it every time. Fuck'em... But Gamespot, they are also pretty lame. They'll lower their mark for no reason, you'll see. They have a certain attitude for some games. So "passionate" about the product they are... almost as much as IGN. As for 1up, I can't read it either.

Anonymous said...

lol Those guys at 1up are weird. The very first thing they mention in the review is that there IS another sex mini-game on the Rhodes area. Well whoopi fuckin doo!lol

"Over the course of the game, you'll take the reins of a pegasus, wrestle while in a free fall into hell, fight in a dramatic, silhouetted 2D battle, get dragged by a horse through a swamp, glide into the sunset as part of a boss fight, and plenty more that we don't want to mention for fear of ruining more than we already have."

This puzzled me a bit. A silhouetted 2D battle? o_O

"Along the way, you'll fight roughly eight bosses. We say "roughly" because the line between what constitutes a boss and what doesn't is less clear this time around, with some of the larger normal enemies not being all that far off from some of the smaller bosses. But there are four massive boss fights in particular that rival the scale and drama of anything seen in the first game. One boss is so large you can't even see its head until 10 minutes into the fight. Another boss you have to first defeat on the outside and then climb through its burning remains to finish it off from the inside. And have you ever wanted to see the Alma fight from Ninja Gaiden done right? It's here."

Help me out here guys. What's the Alma fight? Never played NG.

As for disapointments:

"With all this going on, the only real disappointment (apart from minor things like occasionally excessive screen-tearing and a few less than ideal cut-scene framerates) is that the game doesn't really feel like it's evolving the series as much as it is presenting another great entry. The best parts of the game are the incredible scenarios players come across. But each only shows up for a few minutes, and rather than sticking around for the whole game or improving its core, it disappears. Your time with the pegasus is great, for example, but it's over almost as soon as it begins."

Oh and the score is 9.5. =) Hope this has been helpful. Portugal salutes you.

Congrats Cory & Sony Santa Monica for the AWESOME scores!! I can't wait to get it and play it.

Cheers!

A silhouetted 2d battle probably refers to the wall climbing.

The Alma fight.. I'm as intrigued as you are.

1Up are noobs, man.. Don't really take their word for it. What they did with this "review" is just hint at what's coming at you, without ever explaining what's wrong or right with it. You'll have to play the game yourself to really appreciate it.. But I, personally, KNOW it's gonna be a 10. It's gonna rule ass! Zeus is so DEAD!! *Or is he? ...Cory?*

zeus really looks beautiful i keep watching that part :) he reminds me of that scary old shang tsung from mortal kombat 1 on the snes but zeus is really big he looks like a real bad ass and undefeatable haha he is scary man hahaha

congrats cory.
but i mist confess: i odn't trust IGN's scores, which i'm happy to do so in this case; how dare those bastards give this game a 0.1 point lower than the first? i was expecting a 10!!!

look, gamespot is always the best when it comes to ratinf imo, i'll wait for their score. and i'm sure it's gonna exceed their first GOW score!

just one thing: did u guys do anytihng about the costumes?

Cory, in the GT preview.. around the part where he says "bigger and badder" Kratos's blades are a gone! It looks like he's dancing.. LOL.. It's in that part where he fights those flying things. What are they, Btw? They're not harpies..

If you think they're the best at rating, then you agree that God of War recieving 9.3 is justified? You should know better, Evan.

Congrats man. Vegas and a 9.7? Now that's excellent!

i just viewed the intro for god of war 2 on game trailers and holy shit. This is probably the most epic game I have ever anticipated.

Seriously. I have played all the "epic" classes..zelda..metroid..all of them up to jak and daxter. This game however seems to cinematic and so deep that I cannot believe that is actually a game rather than a movie.

I must say that if this is not a trilogy than you gotta be fuckin kidding me.

The series has kicked ass so far even taking in the fact that the 2nd one hasn't even been released.

I don't mean this in a rude way, but if you were smart you would change that wall of post its into a third installment.

Blow the doors off of the ps3. You guys have made the most anticipated game on the playstation 2 even though the ps3 is out.

Take it to the next level man. You've kicked ass so far.

Anonymous said...

pfffffff yeah right this wil become even more then a trilogy ( i hope ) i think we will see one one ps3 & psp as well ( again i hope ) but on the other hand if kratos keeps killing gods like that there will be nothing left to kill hahahaha

Although I disagree with some of the points about God Of War II's flaws, that probably because I am the most dedicated and loving fan alive for the game, you deserved the greatness of the reviews.

Hey Everybody,

The 3rd new weapon is:

THE SPEAR OF DESTINY

http://uk.ps2.gamespy.com/playstation-2/god-of-war-2-divine-retribution/763910p1.html

Though he was robbed of his godhood, Kratos gains some back during the course of his quest to bring down Zeus. He can earn additional weapons besides his trusty Blades, including a cruel Barbarian Hammer and the Spear of Destiny (each with their own set of upgrades and combo moves). Successful combinations reward Kratos by delivering extra orbs that can be used to upgrade his arsenal of god-busting weapons.

HEY THERE CORY,
THE GOW2 GAME LOOKS EXCELLENT, I KNOW THAT YOU'RE A SUPER BUSY MAN AND YOU'VE A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON IN YOUR HANDS, I'M NOT A GAME DESIGNER AND I'M NOT BEING INSULTING OR ANYTHING AT ALL, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE STILL SOME BUGS/GLITCHES THAT NEED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. IN ONE OF THE TRAILERS WHEN KRATOS JUMPED DOWN THE CLIFF AND YOU HAVE TO DO A COMBINATION WITH THE TRIANGLE BUTTON... RIGHT AFTER THAT KRATOS IS SWINGING THE BLADES AT SOME FLYING BUGS AND THE BLADES WERE NOT DOING ANY SWINGING AT ALL, ALL YOU SEE IS KRATOS SWINGING HIS ARMS. AFTER THAT WHEN KRATOS IS IN THE TEMPLE RUNNING TOWARD THE STATUE WITH THE BLING BLING LOOKING THING ON HER FOREHEAD AND HER HANDS CUPPED IN FRONT OF HER FACE, THE BLADES OF ATHENA ARE NOT ON HIS BACK AT ALL. WHENEVER KRATOS IS IN THE ICE CAVERN WITH THE STONE TITAN THAT HE IS FIGHTING WITH A BOW AND ARROW, THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE ANY BLADE ON HIS BACK THEN EITHER, IS THIS BECAUSE OF THE BOW AND ARROW OR IS THIS A GLITCH? IN ANOTHER TEMPLE WHEN HE IS STANDING IN FRONT OF A WATER FOUNTAIN/HANGING GARDEN LOOKING THING HE HAS NO BLADES ON HIS BACK AND INSIDE THE COLOSUS BATTLE WHEN KRATOS IS PLUNGING THE BLADE OF OLYMPUS INTO THE GLOWING GEAR INSIDE THE COLOSUS, THE BLADE OF ATHENA ARE NOT ON HIS BACK AT ALL, I DON'T IF IT IS BECAUSE HE IS USING THE BLADE OF OLYMPUS LIKE IN THE GOW1 WHEN HE IS USING THE BLADE OF ARTHEMIS. PLEASE WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE TAKE A LOOK TO SEE WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. THANK YOU.

Devin Greer said...

Dude... Wow, I mean, you need to brush up on you knowledge about how these things work. Not to offend you but if any of those were glitches, then I'm sure they were already taken care of. If not, it's Sony Santa Montica's Game, I'm sure they know what they are doing.

Cory cant u get them to ship out even earlier, i mean for europe.

Secondly the new footage at IGN video review shows:

The Icon for Thunder and earth spell: Chain thunder and soundwave ico; the ones u see on an earthqukes's seismograph.

We see the actual footage of this new earth spell, K smashes his hand against the floor and boulders pop out.


We have seen the new weapon:

Spear of destiny and its pink, i hope its the same as the one featured in the human boss fight against K.

Where he attacks K by summoning ice crystals and the spear is blue but in this footage, the spear is pink.

In this footage of IGN, Kratos flips an enemy into the air and when the enemy comes down and like shooting wind arrows at the enemy, this time he shoots pink ice crystals.

Cory,

I wanted to ask you if I wanted to start learning on Game Design, what are the first steps I should give? Any books, training, anything that you would recommend? I'm a System Engineer but would like to turn my career to the Videogame Design arena.

Any recommendation you could give me would be great!

Thank you very much for your time, regards...

Marcelo (mebuil@gmail.com)

When does the Music get released? Will it be thru major retailers or Special Order at Specialty stores? I really want a CD, like Bad.

Congratulations, Cory! We're all dying for this thing to be released; we don't need reviews to tell us that it's going to be the best PS2 game ever created!

Speaking of which, GamePro's review is up! They gave it a perfect score and had a number of good things to say about it.

Hope to hear from you again soon man; give us some more updates!

Cheers.

We were all convinced that Kratos was a completely made up character. But if you go on wikipedia.com it tells you who Kratos is.

In Greek mythology, Cratos ("strength") was a son of Styx and Pallas, brother of Nike, Bia and Zelus. He was the personification of strength and power. Cratos and his siblings were all companions of Zeus.

The spelling Kratos would be more faithful to the original Greek spelling, which is Kpatoc. The Latinized spelling Cratus has also been used.

Cratos simply accepts Zeus's orders completely. Zeus's justice, for Cratos, is the only possible justice. Cratos cannot understand how someone might fail to hate an enemy of Zeus. He shows an absolute identification of a slave with his master, taking Zeus's thoughts as his thoughts and Zeus's orders as his maxims. Unlike Hephaestus and Oceanus, Cratos experiences no friendship or pity because he has no value system outside the one imposed on him by Zeus. The name Cratos means force, so as a representative of Zeus, this character demonstrates the nature of Zeus's rule.

Even that doesn't seem to explain exactly how he ends up being Zeus' son in the game. But, *shrugs*

"Rumors of God of War II running in 720p on the PS3 were debunked after we contacted a Sony Representative for confirmation. Ryan B. from Sony Computer Entertainment America stated the Playstation 2 title is "only available at 480p."
The rumor originated from IGN's review of God of War II: "The first is that God of War II will not only be playable on the PlayStation 3, of course, but that it will run at a true HD resolution of 720p."

IGN has since posted an update.

Yeah, we had a bit of a rush there for a second, but at least we know it's shaping up to be quite a killer follow-up to God of War."

Congrats Cory & the rest of the team..........and thank you for this game.

Oh yeah..hope to see God of War 3 on PS3 (is going to happen, i know for sure;p)

God of War 3 for the PS3.. just saying it puts a smile to my face.

I think the demos arrived.. I can feel it. He's probably signing them right now.. OOH the excitement.. I want to play this game so bad. Especially after that IGN video review.. OH MY GOD the greatness that is God of War 2!

I hope the satyrs have new grapples and a new finisher move.. Do they, Cory? I can't even begin to imagine what it would be.

the gamezone review sucks, they are the only ones that think that the sub weapons are crap, wtf gz?

Anonymous said...

Having JUST found out about that God of Noise contest thing, I find myself wondering...is the soundtrack going to be more commercially available than the first one? I would have gladly paid for the first one had I just been ABLE to. Why do you hate Europe so much?
Please tell me if the soundtrack will be available for me to buy - the stuff is oscar worthy, and if DMC can get put on CDs and sold commercially, then God of War II can make it into the charts.

Heh, the God of War Rap just totally PWNS the Gears of War Cole Train Rap.

Is it possible you could tell us more about the new mode called "Arena of the Fates"?:

-number of enemies at a time
-number of enemy types at once
-arena type (if there are multiple)
-bosses, sub-bosses selectible?
--That sort of stuff would be GREAT

An update on the demo would do wonders..all this silence is making me nervous...Wish HardcoreGamer's article was up right now..

~It was great seeing the Blade of Olympus use a parry..counter or not a parry COUNTS..I wonder if the "Homerun" technique *exploit* will return in any of these new sub-weapons..if BoO has a lauch attack similiar to Artemis I'd put money on it. Ascension FTW!

I JUST PRE-ORDERED GOW2 FROM EB-GAMES AND THAT CASHIER CHICK HANDED ME A DEMO OF THE GAME AND I WAS LIKE "WHAT THE FUCK!! IS THIS FOR REAL OR WHAT?" BECAUSE I THOUGHT THERE WAS A LIMIT AND IF YOU WANTED A DEMO COPY OF THE GAME, YOU HAD TO E-MAIL CORY AND ASK HIM FOR IT, RIGHT? I RUSHED HOME BY DRIVING 95MPH UP TO A 100MHP. POPPED THAT BABY IN THE PS2 AND STARTED PLAYING IT.

OH MAN!! OH MAN!! OH MAN!!
GOW2 INDEED GOT ME LAID AT LEAST 50 TIMES IN JUST ONE DAY. WHEN I WAS PLAYING THE DEMO, I WAS SCREAMING LIKE A VIRGIN LITTLE BITCH THAT'S HOW GOOD IT IS WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING GOW2 PEOPLES.

YO CORY,
I'M PISSED THE FUCK OFF AT YOU MAN, WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS MAN? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU MAN? WHY YOU FUCKING CUT OFF THE DEMO EXACTLY WHERE IT'S ABOUT TO GET MORE INTERESTING MAN?

BY THE WAY, EXCELLENT WORK TO ALL OF YOU GUYS AT SONY SANTA MONICA ON THIS CHEF-D'OEUVRE AND I'M STILL ANGRY FOR NOT GETTING MORE OUT OF THE DEMO, IT'S LIKE YOU'RE TEASING US. THE DEMO IS WWAAAYYYYY TTOOOOOOO SHORT!!!!!!!!

Congratulations to you and the rest of the team for a truly great accomplishment. Creating a game that compares favorably to a smash hit like GOW is a tremendous challenge, and if the reviewers' consensus is any indication, you have surpassed it.

The demo's coming in Monday, so I'll soon get a taste of what's in store. It ought to be a welcome diversion that should stifle productivity for hours on end. I can hardly wait.

it's in the hallway after the second part of the boss fight, after you use the base of that statue thing to open the first gate you have to push the pedestal to the right and then push it down another hallway and you'll see three chest, push the pedestal up against the same wall and it's up there, you can't use it for anything though.

Anonymous said...

The demo is superb! I was having great fun playing it for like, three times. Something new's happening all the way through, something unexpected like this giant feet from nowhere. It's smarter and more inventive than the first game! If you've managed to keep this consistent feeling during the whole game, you'll receive a 10/10 from me. It's fun! It's creative! The environments are changing all the time, the level design is varied and engaging. I really like the way the speed of the combos is increased, the moves being even more destructive. It makes the battles perfect and the series of combos endless, and I find myself desiring more and more enemies, being surprised when the action is over so fast! That being said, this game wouldn't be the same without vibration. DON'T play GoWII on the PS3, cause the battles will seem sterile and unreal, making it unable for you to actually feel the blades in your hands. God of War 2 is a PS2 game, and the PS3 WILL NOT have such a game. Not in the next five years at least, if ever.

Anonymous said...

Cory, I just wanted to put this idea in your head for GOW3. Put Kratos up against an army of soldiers! I know you could do it with the PS3 hardware. Put like hundreds of thousands of enemies on the screen at once and Kratos has to fight all of them! Remember that part in GOW where Kratos grabbed Hades Armor and he had to kill dozens of undead soldiers before that spike wall crushed him? Make it something like that but with much more enemies and a much bigger area to fight in, like a coliseum or something. Lol, I just wanted to put that in your head. Just think of the combo's people would pull off. They would probably be able to do combos in the million hit range. The Internet would go nuts with videos. I'm PATR1OT and I am from the God of War board on the IGN Message Boards and many users over there think that would be a great idea as well. Alright, later!

Anonymous said...

dude, mike, how dare you try and make him feel bad about late demos... I mean I was excited that I'd be getting one too, hell, a signed copy, even more badass - I remember getting one from David Jaffe when the first game came out, and I couldn't believe how badass of a move that was on his part, to let fans like me in on such a great game before the rest of the world was let loose on it... now, would it be awesome if you got one from Cory? yeah. of course it would be. but that dosn't mean you have the right to run around complaining all sad and frownie face on the guy, hes done a great job with the game, hes done a great job with his blog, hes done a great job with *everything* he keeps us all the most up to date we possibly can be, if he made a mistake or he's too busy correcting things in the real game or he's just taking some time off for well deserved rest - whatever it is, chill the hell out, they're just demos, if he slips up on ONE thing and finally dosn't deliver who are you to ride him like that with this sour attitude? honestly man, grow up, "ooh poor me poor me, no demo, late demo, waaah waaah" just shut up and enjoy your game, damn. sorry you have to put up with pussy ass fans like that Cory, all the hard work and dedication you have put into your game and your fans and keeping everyone informed all seems to go to shit the FIRST TIME you delay somthing so minor as a 20 minute demo when the game is 3 weeks away, or hell, even if the demos don't get sent, it dosn't mean you should have to put up with this bullshit because I'm positive you at least *TRIED* to get them sign them and send them out, so what the eff. Sorry to cuss up a storm on your blog like this but it's just irritating to watch such a great director as you get torn down with such minor problems from some so-called super fan who gets pissed at the first sign of difficulties, blah. I'm gonna get goin now... haha, God of War 2, yay great game, gonna enjoy it when it gets here haha

Heyyy Cory. It's damn nice of you to help us virulent God of War junkies get our hands on demos! Props!

I dunno about you, but I would.

Too bad I can't. Oh well. Appreciate what you get folks. Shit happens. He's trying his best.

elmojenkins said...

Cory, just wanted to say that I'm thankful for everything you've done for us fans. It has been a great experience going through the whole process and all. Also, I don't even care if the game comes out before we get the demos. Just as long as I have a copy with your signature on it, that's cool with me. You and the team have exceeded my expectations in every way. I don't think you quite realize what you've done, but I think it will all sink in when the game is finally released. Once again, thank you for everything!!!

Unknown said...

Only three weeks left. Hey Cory, when's the soundtrack going to release? Would be nice if an ADVANCE soundtrack was put online. Like a few songs off the soundtrack, untitled to make sure they don't spoil anything (like if the last song is titled 'ZEUS/ATHENA Boss Battle').

I dunno, I'm just really excited for the music in general and cannot wait for it. Literally.

woot said...

im pretty sure that you all can handle a little over 3 weeks just for a game. so stop flippin out over the demo. yeah a signature is nice on a cd, but think of all the signatures in the actual game. even though i go a little ocd at times, it is possible to realize that this is just a game and cory has much more in him than just this. if i were you all, i'd just wait and savor it when it comes out. unfortunately, i have deathloads of homework (yeah im in high school) so i got stuff to do. keep yourselves busy instead of blowing your brains out. im not saying i have the most work in the world cause i know firsthand that i dont. but i do know that im still alive up to this day and am able to wait for 3 weeks since i've been living for several years. lay off cory unless you got positive things to say. if you havent noticed, he looks like he has health problems. he's got enough on his shoulders. let him do what he wants. it's ok to ask for updates, but dont even start actin like you got somethin to complain about until you ask him yourself exactly what he went through just to get this game on the market. im no suckup, but jus bein real. if i were you all, since you are close in contacts, i would be giving him new ideas for god of war 3 cause i think we can all agree that we want more. ease up a bit and wait those 3 weeks. after what i've seen i think we will all be more than just perfectly impressed with the game. keep it trill. cory, just do what ya gotta do. dont flip on this or that; you need your health back. paz.
