Just gave my best friend/work buddy the printout and the pics to grab them for me. He lives in upstate NY and closer to a 7-11 than I am. woohooo

I don't understand why there aren't more abstract, pseudo-2D dynamic themes like the default wave pattern. So much nicer looking than the not-so-impressive 3D we get with the custom dynamic themes (only one I've liked has been Heavy Rain, though the Ratchet & Clank one was tasteful and attractive too).

Agreed. The R&C one even had a functioning clock which was pretty clever. Although the movement was so subtle that it could've almost passed for a static theme.

I tend to get bored of the dynamic themes after a month or two and always revert back to the sparkly waves. Can't beat em.

Also that blue costume is pretty neat.

 

[Oneself]

Whoa, WTF - that's awesome, I never knew about the flipping alternative art for the PS2 God of Wars.

Take a look at all your PS2 game covers; you might be surprised!

I have many PS2 games in transparent DVD cases now.

I am.

A fair few pages ago somebody called it. I believe it was you, but you never know.

For every single one of these dynamic themes they should leave an option to use classic icons instead of whatever lazy attempt at customization they always have for them.

So much nicer looking than the not-so-impressive 3D we get with the custom dynamic themes (only one I've liked has been Heavy Rain, though the Ratchet & Clank one was tasteful and attractive too).

Afrika was pretty damn great too, Japanese one only though, as it doesn't have crappy custom icons.

There needs to be a dynamic theme of the background on Wipeout HD Fury menu. The current wipeout theme does not make justice of the games clean image.

Kratos looks fat in that picture.

 

[Decado]

Kratos looks fat in that picture.

More like he looks scrawny in the others.

I hope he looks more like the last pic in the game.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Sheitttt when the fuck did Kratos need armour, dont people know hes a mutha fucking baby killin badass.

 

[Easystride]

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002NN7AKU/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Nice! Thanks for the information. Just what I wanted...

Damn, so close to FFXIII... Hopefully Amazon includes a promotional gift card to soften the blow.

And thank you Amazon for your greatness.

 

[Unknown One]

I'm sticking to the default skin, unless they put in Kratos God of War armor suit, Cod of War, etc.

 

[Lagspike_exe]

Dominus armor is SICK.

 

[Epic Tier 3 Engineer]

Oh wow.

Skins.

I need more incentive than that, guys.

 

[akachan ningen]

I hate all those skins. I'm buying this game used.

 

[StealthGoblin]

The chances of these being released on the store eventually are high right?

 

[shwimpy]

Of course... give it a month or two.

I also am buying this game used probably off ebay

Any particular reason? I'm just curious. Your post is rather unusual.

Yeah strange post, I'm renting the title because it's literally what I do for every game and movie released. The only title I will be buying is GT5 and even then I'm going to rent it first to see if it's worth it. Renting is awesome, pay £15 a month and play all the games you want. Just played MW2 a few days ago and hated it, getting Bayonetta soon but apparently the port is piss poor. Does not matter though, I will happily give it a shot and send it back with no worries at all!

Looks like you hate a lot of games... :lol

[evalue]

why does he have pale white skin?

 

[Foov]

why does he have pale white skin?

That's explained in the first game - wiki it if you aren't gonna play it.

 

[torontoml]

why does he have pale white skin?

I'll spoiler it for those who haven't played the first game.

Spoiler

When Kratos killed his family the ashes were put on top of his skin as a permanent reminder of what he did

 

[GQman2121]

Yeah, probably. Most of them are unlockable in the game though.

I looked into it, and there's really nothing out there saying that any of these skins are unlockable in the game or that these codes unlock the skins early. In fact each outlet makes a point to say that these skins are only unlocked once you beat the game--and that's with the codes.

I'm not saying they won't eventually show up on PSN at some point. But for the time being it looks like each are exclusive to the retailers who are offering them.

 

[kikanny]

All of those skins suck. The only one that's remotely good is the 7-11 one. That's actually good for me. I can buy the game wherever I want!

 

[Robot 492]

[AshMcCool]

I want the Dragons-Lair-like knight from the prototype as an extra skin.

 

[Jeels]

I want the Dominus skin but I'm not paying for the CE, too many games coming out in March, fitting GOW3 standard edition was blessing enough!

 

[gillFTR]

Anyone know if the god of war slurpee cups are going to be available in canada?? were the halo 3 cups here?

Also is the ultimate edition still listed 89.99$ in canada, I pre ordered and pay in full 2 months ago and I surprised when they said 89.99$

 

[ULTROS!]

Kratos looks skinny in the Phantom of Chaos and Forgetten Warrior outfits.

Not to mention is that Kratos in the Apollo outfit or something? :lol

 

[MrPliskin]

Aren't those extremely similar to the rejected Kratos concept sketches?

Edit: Yep, pretty sure 3 of these costules are from God of War 1 pre-production. Blue Kratos, Forgotten Warrior, and the other one (not apollo) are all from or based on those concepts. Just youtube "kratos concept art".

O shnap. They really aren't messing around for once. I don't think that Superbowl commercial is out of the question any more...

I'm pretty sure the massive trailer release is set for Feb 11.

O ok, haven't been paying attention I guess.

 

[VegaShinra]

O ok, haven't been paying attention I guess.

Well the Feb 11 date is what Geoff K is saying. I guess a Superbowl ad could still happen.

 

[Jirotrom]

any special PS3 bundle announced for us yet? Would really love to buy a ps3 with a god of war emblem

 

[DieH@rd]

Well the Feb 11 date is what Geoff K is saying. I guess a Superbowl ad could still happen.

At least they will show The Last Airbender 30sec treiler, so all is good.

 

[Aokage]

So wait now: Is there confirmation the retailer pre-order skins can be unlocked through regular gameplay? Pre-ordering just gets you early access to them?

What about the 7-11 skin -- is that legitimately exclusive?

So true. The original skin is infinitely better than all those.

 

[Denzar]

I can't imagine that those skins got the same amount of attention as Kratos' regular character model. That character model is INSANE.
