Last week the mysterious God of War website, Islandofrhodes.com, revealed a secret code to activate what the God of War 2 developers call HD-Mode. While not full 720p, the code does enable the game to run at 640×488 resolution, giving large screen gamers a noticeably sharper image.
Unfortunately it has been confirmed to Pro-G that this HD-Mode had to be removed from the PAL release because there simply wasn’t enough room on the game disc.
“Whereas the US version still had enough room to incorporate this feature it had to be removed for ours because we had to use the final disc space for localisation (all the extra European languages),” a Sony Computer Entertainment Europe spokesperson told Pro-G.
It’s a shame PAL gamers had to miss out, but it doesn’t stop God of War 2 from being a fantastic game. Look out for a review closer to the game’s April 27 release.
Update: Check here for the official response from the God of War developers.
