Huh!? Soooo, if they do this with a fair amount of games, even ones I've played. I can see myself buying them again. This will certainly make up for the lack of backwards compatibility... to an extent.
Let me just inflate my e-penor a bit by saying I don't "need" this, since I bought the OG PS3 with the emotion engine, full bc baby.
I had a PS3 with BC but the disc drive crapped out on me so my new 80gb phat does not have BC. I will probably pick this up since I never got to finish GoW 2 and I would love to replay these games.
Jesus, Brad, don't even joke about stuff like Shadow of the Colossus running in 720p at 60fps. That's dangerous shit. We all want it, but how likely is it?
I never managed to play GoW 1 or 2, so this is a MUST BUY for me. Let's just hope it's released in the UK to, and has a nice price also. To be fair though, even if they released this at full rrp i would still buy it.
Very nice. I'll definitely play through these again. I was gonna replay them on the PS2 here soon, but this has convinced me to wait for them on the PS3.
Just give me ICO/SOTC 720p blueray double pack and a FF X + FF X2 720p double pack as well and I will buy a PS3 slim. The PS2 back catalog is so deep they could sell PS3 slims just on remastered PS2 games.
After God Of War Collection gets massive sales, it certainly attract other companies to do the same, recycling games saving money and time since the game is only being "ported" with new effects and stuff. ICO and Shadow Of the Colossus sounds a good thing to do. Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2 would also be a good idea, and although I would like the same treatment for the following, I know it's not very rentable: Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time trilogy, Shinobi and Nightshade, and Zone Of The Enders 1 and 2.
As someone who has never played ICO (and I regret not doing so, since I had the chance to do so many years ago), I'd definitely pay for a HD version of ICO (heck, even an SD version is fine with me, I just want play ICO!).
If this dos come out at a budget price, I think it is an awesome idea for hype for GoW3. Same idea as BC:Rearmed. NEver really played them either, so I'm thinking about getting them too.
I can't believe how many people are excited about this.
I know many people think I'm ridiculous for this assertion, but the main reason I haven't bought a PS3 is the lack of backwards compatibility. I have lots of PS2 games I would love to see looking better, but it whould be through the magic of upscaling.
One of the first games I bought for my 360 was Psychonauts, and it was glorious! I bought it new because I wanted to support the making of this kind of game, but i COULD have gotten it used much cheaper, and that's what backwards compatibility is all about.
" How is it a collection if it doesn't include of God of War 3? "
ahh, yes something that i was hoping. i don't think that will happen. i kind of wish they did that. it is still good news, i wanted to play gow2 but i don't have a working ps2.
Pretty awesome idea, but I'm already able to play GoW on a PS2 emulator with 2x that resolution. And I don't have a PS3. But still, awesome for those who do, the games really do look great just with a resolution upgrade. They definitely look closer to what you see on the PS3 then the PS2.
I shouldn't be so excited about re-releases of games I already own, but with updated graphics and a $40 price tag, I'm pretty sold on this. As for a re-release of Ico and sotc (again I own both), I too would pay good money for that!
This is a great move, however, it does re-invoke some concerns I have about the PS3 catching the Xbox in terms of content. I believe the PS3 is a better system when analyzed from the perspective of audio/video, however, developing games for Xbox means pre-conditioning for a smooth port to PC. These synergies, in combination with the poor choice in pricing have placed the PS3 in a position where it will be interesting to see if the console will make a great come back over the next 12 months.
Definitely excited about this GoW pack,but I would love to see Shadow of the Collossus and the first Killzone in 720p and and running at a consistent 60fps,that would be pretty awesome.
Ahhh, taste em again for the first time. But I don't like the pricetag. Now why the eff hasn't Microsoft given the same treatment to its Xbox Originals?? They even warn they will have graphical glitches, yet still charge 20 bones (or is it 15?). Anyway, I hope Sony does the same thing with Ico and Shadow of the Colossus...I've never played em, but I still want to.
A trade-in bonus for this would be cool. Like somehow if you proved you own GoW and GoW2, you get $10 off the HD package. Then I'd really think about getting this new deal.
@murse2008: Persona Collection - Every Persona game - 1, 2 (both versions), 3 FES, and 4. That would be SICK, and might convince me to finally take the leap on a PS3...
