The Story Behind God of War: Chains of Olympus
God of War: Chains of Olympus uses a proprietary, in-house engine referred to as the Ready at Dawn engine, which expanded on the engine created for their previous game, Daxter (2006), to include a fluid and cloth simulator. By June 2012, the collection had sold 711,737 copies worldwide. Ready at Dawn repeatedly contacted Sony regarding increasing the clock speed of the PSP on account of the difference to the game and had developed a version of the game with higher speed.
God of War: Origins Collection and full trials of its two games were also released for download on the PlayStation Store on September 13, 2011, in North America. Game developer Ready at Dawn pitched the idea for a PlayStation Portable version of God of War to Santa Monica Studio soon after the original God of War launched. Sony released a limited-edition bundle pack only in North America, on June 3, 2008.
How God of War: Chains of Olympus Plays
As the resulting destruction of the Pillar will also cause the souls of the Underworld, including Calliope, to be lost, Kratos reluctantly abandons his daughter forever in order to save her life. It was Metacritic's 2008 "PSP Game of the Year". Marino composed roughly thirteen minutes of music for the game and re-worked other music from the previous titles.
Minor characters include Helios (Dwight Schultz), the captured Sun God; Charon (Dwight Schultz), the ferryman of the Underworld; and the Persian king (Fred Tatasciore), leader of the Persian forces attacking Attica. The protagonist of the game is Kratos (voiced by Terrence C. Diehard GameFAN awarded it "Best PSP Game" for 2008.
Why Players Still Load It Up
The Spartan eventually locates Helios' sister, Eos, who tells Kratos that the Titan Atlas has abducted her brother. After the release of the demo disc, Ready at Dawn offered pre-order customers a music track on disc titled "Battle of Attica". In a post-credits scene, Kratos is still riding Helios' chariot back into the sky and after seeing the return of the Sun, Kratos loses consciousness from the exertion and plummets to the ground.
Other characters include Kratos' mentor and ally Athena (Erin Torpey), the Goddess of Wisdom; Eos (Erin Torpey), the Goddess of Dawn and sister of Helios; Persephone (Marina Gordon), the Queen of the Underworld and the main antagonist; and Atlas (Fred Tatasciore), a four-armed Titan imprisoned in Tartarus after the Great War. The game is the fourth installment in the God of War series, the third chronologically, and a prequel to the original God of War. Finding the Temple of Helios, Kratos learns from Athena that Morpheus has caused many of the gods to fall into a deep slumber due to the absence of light.
