Recently, there has been news confirming a sequel to God Of War for the PS2. This is kind of a given due to its popularity and the open ending. This is a really strange announcement for many reasons.

Does this mean that they will continue PS2 development long into the PS3 launch? Almost at the drop of a hat, every generation shift in consoles means immediate death for the previous generation. Why would they target this development for the PS2? It’s not like this is a developer who does not have acess to next-gen hardware, since God Of War is developed by Sony.

This generally raises the question if they are going to keep the PS2 alive and market it as the economy model. This has never really been done before with the exception of the GBA SP, but that doesn’t technically count because the Nintendo DS is not the sucessor to the GBA (or even in the GameBoy product line).

Either way, I don’t care, I just want more original God Of War content.

Update: I spotted this article on Kotaku and it enrages me. Why the hell did they strip the online mode from GT4 and replace it with the crappy Director mode only to release another edition with it. Wankers.
