Video: God of War: Ghost of Sparta PSP on Spike TV Tonight

[PS3 News]

Sony's Senior Social Media Specialist Sid Shuman has revealed that a new gameplay video and details on God of War: Ghost of Sparta PSP will be airing on Spike TV tonight with its Comic-Con 2010 debut tomorrow!

To quote: Tonight, GameTrailers TV is hosting a special http://www.spartansstandtall.com/ preview on SPIKE TV.

The episode will showcase new gameplay video and details on the eagerly anticipated action epic being developed by http://www.readyatdawn.com/, aka the folks behind God of War: Chains of Olympus.

The SPIKE TV special will air tonight at 12:30am Pacific Time (check http://www.spike.com/schedule/spike/?tabView=day).

Also, if you're attending http://www.comic-con.org/ in San Diego, the Ready At Dawn team has a special treat for you. Drop by the San Diego Convention Center on Saturday to catch the "The World That is God of War" discussion panel and Q&A session - anyone with a badge should be able to attend, space willing. Here are the full details for the Comic-Con panel:

The World That is God of War - Ghost of Sparta Panel Q&A

- Time: Saturday, July 24: 1:00 - 2:00PM
- Location: San Diego Convention Center (Room 7AB)
- 111 West Harbor Drive
- San Diego, CA 92101
- Description: Ru Weerasuriya and Dana Jan are back, along with their talented team at Ready At Dawn Studios, to expand upon this blockbuster mythological world with God of War: Ghost of Sparta. Join Ru, Dana, and team for this one-on-one interview and Q&A session.

Finally, in related news, I got a chance to go one-on-one with Ghost of Sparta at the NYC PlayStation media day earlier this week. The action is classic God of War: fast, brutal, and epic. Kratos was packing plenty of new gear, too.

The Spartan Spear and Shield grants Kratos a longer reach and the ability to hurl spears at distant foes, though his trademark Blades of Chaos still hold the edge in overall attack speed. I also experimented with the Eye of Atlantis, a new magical attack that gushes a stream of chain lightning at nearby enemies.

While you're waiting for the SPIKE TV special and Comic-Con panel to start, you might want to take another look at the first Ghost of Sparta gameplay footage below. And yeah, that's running on a PSP. Wait until you see it in person, free from web video compression.
