God of War 1 and 2 coming to PS3

[strtfghtr]

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6216534.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=newstop&tag=newstop;title;1

The games are getting an HD upgrade, with higher res anti-aliased graphics, for $40

personally I'd rather have backwards compatibility and throw the old PS2 versions in...

[Darkgod]

40 bucks for both? or each, actually either way thats not a good deal. Games are great but not 40 bucks great

[strtfghtr]

it's $40 for both of the games on 1 Bluray

[Darkgod]

Still a little expensive I think... but atleast its on a disc and not a dl

[strtfghtr]

I agree I don't own the originals and I dont intend to buy this "HD" upgraded version until the price is more reasonable like 15 or 20

[Il Duce]

I'm just awaiting on GOW 3 instead hopefully it's still coming out sometime this year.

[Revenant]

not bad for a series that really hit the mainstream so late into the lifespan of the ps2. Wouldn't buy it for 40 but 20 bucks and i'll probaly pick this up before GOW3.

[Aussie_Horror_buff83]

GOW3 is set to be released april 1st 2010

[Lemmywinks]

I'll just stick with the original ps2 versions.

God of War 3 Demo now in the re-release pack

[Rust In Peace]

I still think they should have put in Chains Of Olympus in this re-release.

Yet another reason I am glad to own one of the 60gig backwards compatable PS3s, less hassle.

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/10/28/god-of-war-iii-demo-included-on-district-9-blu-ray/

Is there a God of War III thread?

[Lemmywinks]

The sex-mini games are hilarious. This one is looking very good.

[strtfghtr]

links with pics comparing both original and PS3 ports

http://bitmob.com/index.php/mobfeed/graphics-comparison-god-of-war-2-vs-god-of-war-collection.html

not a HUGE difference but keep in mind these are just ports of the original games, pretty much the only thing they added as far as I can tell are higher resolution and probably anti-aliasing, the blockiness is def reduced and the textures look better

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

nice tits, looks smoother plus it will look nice on my HDTV compared to how my PS2 version looked :whew:

[strtfghtr]

my copy is already ordered :yes:

[strtfghtr]

So I finished both games in the collection and I gotta say I loved the hell out of these games. Easily the some of the best games I have in my PS3 catalog. Also the extras like makng of videos and voice actors are sweet, kinda gives it that dvd feel. The graphic upgrades are pretty impressive when you compare PS2 shots the the higher res PS3 ones.

I say if you see this badboy around or are just considering buying it...GET IT. Well worth the $30 I paid for it :thumbup:
