God Of War Collection Confirmed: High Definition And Trophies!

Thanks to an eagle-eyed reader, we were the first to break the news that a special Blu-Ray God of War package might be headed to the PlayStation 3 later this year.

Well...it's all true. As revealed over at the PlayStation Blog, SCEA has announced the God of War Collection exclusively for the PS3. Set to release "this holiday season," this awesome pack contains "reworked versions of both God of War and God of War II on a single Blu-Ray disc at full 1280 x 720 resolution." This is a totally bad-ass offer, especially to those who missed out on the unrivaled glory of GoW and GoWII on the PS2; it also makes for a perfect holiday gift to any big fan of the franchise. More from the exciting press release:

"Both critically acclaimed games, which were originally developed for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, have been remastered with anti-aliased graphics running at 60 frames per second for a smooth gameplay experience on the PS3 system. Additionally, the Blu-ray Disc compilation will bring PlayStation®Network (PSN) trophy support to the franchise for the first time (included for both games)."

The price? Only $39.99, which is a full $20 cheaper than the normal new release. Now, the only downside is that we don't see a demo for God of War III, which we thought would be included in this package. But even if it's not there, the first two games in high-def plus Trophy support make it well worth the price, and it'll be yet another significant boost for the PS3 this holiday season. Stay tuned for the finalized release date.

A little nervous learnig that it is not Sony rerdesigning it... It is Bluepoint.

Bluepoint was founded in 2006 and made its debut with the release of Blast Factor for the PlayStation Network.

Hope they do a good job. These are my all time favorite PS2 games.

YES. God of War I and II are part of my "truly timeless" collection, along with just a handful of others. I play at least a bit of both every few months. I will TOTALLY buy the reworked versions too!!!!! What a great excuse to play both games to completion before God of War III's release early next year. And I'll warm up for THIS with Chains of Olympus :)

Nice job breaking the story guys!

I have never played either of these games and every time I have said that someone almost makes me go to the store and buy both of them but hearing this news I am glad that I haven't yet. With trophy support and running at a smooth as silk 60 fps I am definitely going to pick this up and see what all the fuss is about.

You know Sony has a lot of opportuntity with their blu-ray disc than they think.

How about a polished FFVII,FFX & FFXII on a blu-ray disc.

A polished GTA III,Vice City,San Andreas compilation.

Or different combos of polished RPG like Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Quest, Okami on the blu-ray disc.

Not a bad idea, especially if they want to completely be ahead this gen!

I was reading an article on the Seattle "Un"intelligencer and it was trying to argue that Sony missed the mark by going with blue ray. They tried to say it was a dead technology and that the "age of digital distribution was upon us". Made me laugh because they're whole arguement was based around how great the Xbox netflix service is and how "eventually" Internet speeds would be fast enough to stream blue ray quality movies. They failed to mention how much better games on PS3 were due to blue ray. The spin by all these so called "game journalists" is making me dizzy.

Very cool, but now I am itching to know how they did it. Is ia a case of taking the GOW3 engine and moving the GOW1 and GOW2 assets into that engine? Or is it software emulation of the PS2 targeted at this specific game?

Remastered? That's not the same as ported. anti-aliased at 60 frames per second, that could mean 480p scaled to 720p with full screen anti-aliasing.

Ah, but they have trophy support. Hmmm... perhaps it is a new game engine and the original game assets....

Very interesting. I can't wait to find out how this was pulled off.

Keep us updated on the technical details, and as an aside Mr. Highlander, could you perhaps give me (us) a technical explaination as to why PS1 and PS2 games look like poop on an HD TV? I mean I doubt the bloody scanlines are make it look better on standard def. Help me out and don't be afraid to get technical.

Highlander
Monday, August 31, 2009 @ 5:27:58 PM

I think that for GOW1 and 2 in this package, they re-implemented both games on a PS3 specific game engine that was originally built for GOW2. There was news about GOW2 on PS2 back in Feb 2007, but of course the game came out as a PS2 exclusive. I think that they spruced up that game engine for GOW2, and brought the GOW game assets in with the same basic game engine giving them a very quick route to produce two new PS3 games. Of course they added trophy support too.

PS1 and PS2 games look like poop on HDTVs because the TV is taking a digital image (each image frame) and enlarging it. Just as if you took a VGA resolution digital picture and digitally magnify it by 4 times, you get a pretty blocky looking image. If you have good image processing, that will anti-alias the image (among other things) to improve the quality of the enlarged image, but even then it's going to be a little fuzzy, and perhaps a little blocky too.

The lower the original resolution, the worse it looks when scaled, so some PS1 games look utterly terrible, and some PS2 games (those running in 480p) look OK.

That's if you connect a PS1 or PS2 directly to an average HDTV. If you run the games on a compatible PS3, it will upscale the picture and enhance it with smoothing/anti-aliasing. The result is much better looking. A lot of PS1 games still don't look good though, because they are so low resolution to start with.

Some very high end HDTVs have good video processing built into them to upscale and enhance lower resolution images. They may look as good as the games do when played on a PS3.

Very interesting. I'd forgotten this, but if you look back to February 2007, you'll see news blurbs about God of War II running at 720p on PS3.

I think that both of these are PS3 versions of the original games based on the early God of War PS3 engine that was built to run God of War II on the PS3. From the reports it's pretty clear that there was already a PS3 game engine running at 720p for God of War II. It looks like they've worked hard to bring the God of War game to that same engine, and add Trophy support. Smart. I guess that would mean that they are PS3 games, no slight of hand backwards compatibility required.

I can play a game with bad graphics as long as it's enjoyable, but to me, good graphics really makes a game so much better. (That's also why i'm urging a FFVII remake so bad :))

Awesome! Cash is tight round here, but I will definitely muster up $40 for this combo. Since I'll be replacing my dead 60Gb with a new Slim soon I won't be able to play my PS2 versions on the PS3. I'd say $40 is worth it to have two of my favourite games of all time in HD on my PS3.

This is definitely great news for me since I've been thinking of getting #2 for a while now, and to get to enjoy it in HD and hopefully close-to-ps3 graphics is just awesome!

GOW2 on PS2 looks better then some of the early PS3 games did on the PS3. I never finished it either so suspect this will motivate me to reacquaint myself with Kratos prior to GOW3, which is prob going to be a milestone PS3 game (just going by how darn good GOW2 was on PS2).

KOS-MOS was supposed to be an unlockable costume in Soul Calibur 4, but unfortunately she appears to have been left on the cutting room floor.

Seriously though if they (Namco) did a Xenosaga 1-3 re-make with an updated engine for $40 I'd be over the moon. Hell I'd be happy with such a compilation for $60.

I doubt it will happen, but I'd buy it in a nano-second.

Shion is my favorite character, but most people dislike her.

There is sort of room for a Xenosaga 4, but when Xenosaga 3 was made, they kinda collapsed the remaining story into Xenosaga 3 because they knew that it would be the last one. You could make a Xenosaga 4, but I'm not sure whether you could include both Shion and KOS-MOS.

BTW, if you are among those that hated Kevin, you should play through to the end of the game, or watch the finale on You Tube.

I am really looking forward to this, but I have a legit question I have had for sometime. Do people really buy games because of trophy support? I mean, it's cool to get them, but if a game doesn't have them I don't really care. I know people who won't buy metal gear solid 4, because of the lack of trophies. I just think it's silly for something that means nothing in the end.

Well I see your point, I would buy this anyway with or without trophies. But then you have those who already owns these for PS2 who thinks "oh it got trophies now, I must buy it then!" See they know some people like trophies a lot and will "win" them over to buying this product.

Plus all games released after 1st Jan 2009 must have trophies or something. So yea it must.

Personally I could do without. I play a game for the game itself, not for a little accomplishment pop-up. Trophy support is one thing I never research about a game. Though I know there are plenty that do. And many of them are missing some damn good games by limiting themselves to "trophy only" games.

If you like absolutely brutal combat from the ultimate video game badass set against an epic background story then you will enjoy it :)

Sounds cool. It also sounds like I'll have to use my parenting responsibilities and keep it away from my daughter. She's easy though, she'll just say "aughh man" and move on.

Good, I'll probably pick this up. I haven't played a GoW game yet so this way I can get up to speed.

I will add this mofackey to my xmas list I think. This is a good move by Sony to generate even more hype for GOWIII. Actually I'd be afraid to go back and play the old PS2 ones on my HDTV cuz it would probably look like Kratos was made of legos. Just another case of Sony listening to its fans :D

This could be the start of a beautiful trend. I hope others will be inspired by this and look at their older classic titles. Some collections that would be perfect would be MGS - MGS3, ZOE and ZOE2, Ico and SoTC, BLACK (i know it's only one), and the Final Fantasy series (if they could use the remakes for 1-6, and use the internationals on 7-10 and 12) but they don't have to be all on the same disc like 1 thru 6 on one and have 7 8 9 on one, then 10 10-2(I guess) and 12.

I've beaten both games twice and I'm still looking forward to this. They should do this with more 1st party games like an Ico and Shadow of the Collossus pack. Also the Ratchet and Clank ps2 games and Jak and Daxter games on a bluray discs.

WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT????? I know I'm one of those people that actually filled in the GOW survey but.... FOR REAL? WITH TROPHIES??????

I thought it would come in the bundle WITH the GOW3 game. Oh, I wish Hideo Kojima or Team ICO do the exact same thing with their games!!!

(off topic I know, but I have to add this in reply)

Shion is a weak character in every way but one. She is written as if she has dissociative identity disorder (multiple personalities that are not fully expressed, but brought on by unbearable trauma in childhood). The strength in the character is the discipline inside to prevent the horror in her memory from leaking out. The whole deal with Kevin, his death in front of her on top of their early history is like a second helping of trauma, and just drives the character further over the edge. KOS-MOS is like the element in her personality that protects her. She's also the key to get at the rest because she provides the protection that Shion needs to heal.

I really like Xenosaga - can you tell? It's far more serious than most people think, and the depth and complexity of the characters and their relationships is more like a novel than a game.

thats true in everyway but I think if KOS-MOS was able to act on her own instead of orders KOS-MOS would be a more stronger character sorry if I was off subject and just wonderin Highlander psn Id dont get mad for me askin just wondering.

I don't know if I'll buy this one since I spent so much time on the 1st two trying to beat them on God Mode and Titan Mode.

But that prolly means I'll get it anyways for the trophies. Never re-purchased a game b4...this should be interesting.
