While you might think that the life of an Olympian god is a pretty plum assignment, we’ve learned over the course of the God of War series that it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. Series protagonist Kratos has been deceived, used, and generally abused by petty gods and titans, ultimately driving him to the brink of madness and sending him into a hate-fueled rage to destroy all those who toy with the lives of mortals. Ghost of Sparta, the latest entry into the series and Ready at Dawn’s second God of War PSP title, attempts to show players how Kratos started down the path of madness. The result is an impressive title that breathes new life into the PSP, but in a few respects it falls short of its console brethren.
Across its 21-year lifetime, Ready at Dawn developer the Echo series for the Meta Quest, along with Daxter, various God of War spinoffs, and The Order: 1886.
They signed their death sentence when they accepted to be bought by the lizard Zuckerberg.
What a freaking shame, almost every time a developer leaves Sony they end up in shambles.
Sad.
Can they somehow release the PC version/source code of 1886?
They showed it off in SIGGRAPH. It's fully playable. Just needs a release.
The must play PSP Games every gamer will enjoy.
Lone Echo developer Ready at Dawn has reportedly been heavily affected by the latest round of job cuts at Meta Quest.
I thought Sony owned them. 1/3 of their studio was laid off including the studio head. Jesus, they were literally acquired by Meta in 2020 and now their whole studio has been gutted. They should have focused on making console games instead of pursuing VR. I kinda wished MS would have bought them in 2018 when they were acquiring smaller studios. They would have been a good acquisition.
What a waste of talent and potential this studio turned out. Oh what could've been, just another victim of fabricated outrage.
What's even more depressing ...
Ready at Dawn had a working PC version of Order 1886 ready and showed it off at SIGGRAPH 2015.
* sigh* we'll never get that, nor Order 1887
pity, their proprietary graphics engine was ahead of its time ...
I thought the order was one of the best games on PS4. Intersesting characters, nice gameplay, cool weapons. Shame Sony let IGN fanboys dictate what to incest in.
Im actually more surprised that Ready at Dawn devs still exists, I havent hear of them until this article appeared , what have they being doing all this effing time?, at least throw 60 fps patch for the Order.
Was there any doubt this was going to be good?
Dammit, now I'm becoming even more interested in playing the GoW series.
God, I want this game so hard.
The first GoW on PSP was so damn good. I'm glad this one doesn't suck too hard. The storyline has always been lame, really.
I've always enjoyed the GoW series, even on the PSP. Its too bad that Ready At Dawn isn't going to make any more due to PSP piracy.
