It was a terribly held secret and after the scans of the back of the instruction manual appeared online, there was little doubt God of War was coming to the PSP. Some gamers still had in the back of their heads that the image was a hoax though. Fear not, now there is no doubt. Sony has confirmed God of War is coming to the PSP. At a God of War launch event last night God of War director Cory Barlog said "It is its own story that connects to the overall story. God of War, God of War 2, and then if all the stars align God of War 3 will be the telling of a trilogy. This PSP story will be a further fleshing out."
Glad it will fit into the overall story and though I had no doubt, it's good to have confirmation it will be an original game.

Wow. This might be one of the few "must-haves" for the PSP for me.

But wait! Didn't some guy in a high-school arts program say it was fake?!!! I'm going to need more proof than just a "confirmation" from "Sony."

Here are some details from Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com/2007/03/13/god-of-war-psp-and-ps3-details-rumble-on-ps3-confirms-director/)
God of War on PSP (untitled):
* ReadyAtDawn developing (as speculated)
* Not a port; Barlog: "It is its own story that connects to the overall story. God of War, God of War 2, and then if all the stars align God of War 3 will be the telling of a trilogy. This PSP story will be a further fleshing out"; where the PSP game fits into the overall story arch was not discussed, but Barlog says, "I want the PSP version to not feel like the PSP version ... it's just as big. It's just as epic. It's God of War." Grrrrrr!
* Original level design (but the game might revisit familiar areas); Barlog: "We're not reusing any levels. We're not doing any of that stuff. It's all original content."
* Replacement for PS2's right-analogue dodge/roll control is still being worked out; devs are considering a toggle function; Barlog: "And the game will ship with a second analog nub -- totally kidding! Not true at all!"
* No confirmation of PS2 or PS3 connectivity; ReadyAtDawn did create a connectivity feature for Daxter (with Jak X: Combat Racing); Barlog on possible PS Home tie-in: "Home was in development [during GoW2], but nobody really on our development team was knowledgeable about it, so there wasn't much we could do about it."
* No explicit hints of PSP game in God of War II bonus disc content; Barlog: "No, I'm smart. We took out any references to stuff we don't want out yet... But there are some things in there that may relate to a future game if we do it, but you'll have to keep your eye open for that."

I wouldn't be surprised if the story of the game takes place with you controlling Kratos' brother. If you have ended GoW 1, there is a small cinematic explaining Kratos as a child and having a brother. The two were seperated and Kratos was made into a Spartan warrior while his brother ended up hating him. It would make sense as far as being original from game 1 to PSP and bridging game 2 to PS3.
