God of War 2 With 720p Support, NOT!

Original Story:

In their God of War 2 review, IGN mentioned that the retail version of the game will allow you full 720p if you play it on a PS3. Now that_’_s some good news, we can finally see Kratos slaughter his foes in HD.

Here’s a bit from the review:

_“The last two things that we want to talk about unfortunately can’t be tested yet as we won’t have the boxed copy of the game for a few weeks (though what we’ve reviewed is the final code), though neither would alter the score in any fashion anyway and we want to point them out. 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. We’re unsure as of yet whether or not we’ll see additional texture detail because of this, but we’ll update this section of the review when we can test it.”

Update:

IGN just posted an update to their GoW 2 review, correcting their previous statement about GoW 2 working on 720p. It will only have 480p support (*cries inconsolably*). Here’s what their editor had to say:

“Editor’s Correction: After posting the review, we’ve gotten word from an SCEA representative that the game will support 480p on the PlayStation 3 but not 720p. Our error was due to crossed information and we’re sorry for the confusion. We will report back once we have the final copy in our hands.”
