So the rumors were out there. The feedback was out there. Sony listened and is going forth with it. God of War Collection is coming this holiday season. November/December for those of you who may not get our whacking American time frames still. Before my wit of title begin people all a fluster as it has in the past, let me touch on more.
Not only are the releasing both God of War and God of War II on a BluRay making it so those without backwards compatible PS3s can enjoy them, but there is so much more. Like remastered it with anti-aliased graphics running at 60 frames per second. Meaning it will actually be able to produce the at full 1280 x 720 resolution instead of having to up-scale. Excellent and Godlike graphics instead of having to stretch the screen on my HDTV. Totally can't wait. But that's not all.
At the beginning of the year, Sony said that by 2010, all PS3 games had to have trophy support. Since these games will be coming out on a BluRay PS3 disk, it does not get an exception at all. Meaning that getting that 999,999 hit combo will most likely be grabbing you a Silver or Gold trophy on top of the in game little extra. As well as forcing you to have to actually play through on Titan mode to get that Platinum to boot.
I will totally admit I squeed when I got this presser from Sony. I have actually been playing the games again in stretched mode up until I got Batman. Now I have a good excuse to put them back on the shelf for now. The only thing I was hoping for was an included God of War III demo to be on the disc or an extra disk, but at least I'll be raking up God of War Trophies soon.
Look for it at the end of the year for $39.99. Two games for less than the price of one PS3. Amazingness!
