Unbelievable how the old God of Wars are still stuck on old consoles or just emulation. Played the entire trilogy plus the spinoff on the psp and enjoyed them all (for me they are even better of the newest ones). Really hoping Santa Monica or another studio under it remember to bring this masterpiece of a series on new hardwares!
