Blu-ray God of War changes are minimal, doubles up on trophies

I don't get this article. Sony said they would be the same except for the graphics. Now joystiq needs to reprint a negative article with the info that "it'll be the same except for the graphics".

What I want to know is are the textures new? Because if those are the same, the game won't really look any better and I won't be buying it.

This will be good for me. I haven't played any of the God of War games... and a plus, they're getting updated to HD and trophies too... so... win/win.

I wouldn't say either is better...

This is an obvious visual upgrade as well as a method of addressing backwards compatibility issues that many gamers want to see a fix for. Also, trophies for those who get off on that kind of thing.

The Prime Trilogy is a different type of port, one that completely changes the control scheme of the original two games.

In any case, I'll be getting the Prime Trilogy soon and the God of War set when I get my own PS3. Never got a chance to play them too much so it's great that they're doing this.

Also, Storm Eagle, who cares if MP is rated Teen? Is your lust for blood and boobs really preventing you from functioning that it is a factor in your buy?

Yay two platinums

I would kill for MGS2 and 3 (and maybe Twin Snakes) in widescreen and progressive. Especially MGS3 which had all those fields, forests and mountains, that screamed for widescreen. That would require a lot of reprogramming though.

You've never heard of me? I'm kinda a big deal around here.

I'll have to pick this up. I've never gotten the chance to play this series so now's the chance!

This argument is so stupid. Every side gets a couple of classic games re-released in higher quality to be played on current systems. What's the problem? I've never been a huge fan of either games, but i still think it's awesome.

I SO FREAKING CALLED THE TWO PLATS!!!! EPIC ALL CAPS WIN!!!!

I'm interesting to see how these games perform visually. The code is certainly re- worked to run through the PS3 hardware as opposed to a PS2 emulation. If they took good care with it (and there is no reason to think otherwise of Sony with this particular franchise) we might even see some visual improvements in terms of performance (not textures or shaders). The image may actually look even cleaner making use of the different graphics processing of the RSX.

anyone that is a gow fan ,knows this a must have ,i just hope they dont run off , & the price dont go up , ill be so broke by xmas but im looking forwad 4 it. cheers.

"Seriously, STFU! You're giving tmac non-stop shit for being a troll... yet what did you do here? You singled him out, rummaged through his post history and go on and on and on about nothing... why? Because he said he wanted to buy a compilation of 2 great games? Who the fuck cares? Is it really worth being a troll yourself just to call him out on a bunch of stupid shit nobody could care less about?"

Why's it upsetting you? Because its marring an article in where you'd like to read constructive comments from like-minded people instead of endless prattle to stir people up?

Welcome to the club.

They could tell me that I needed to have buttsex with an elephant to play this game and I would be completely okay with that.

When I made the connection that my PS3 wasn't BC, my heart broke specifically for the GoW games.

And now that they're making it?

Well, my heart will go on. And on.

Despite its renowned history, I'm still not sure quite what the grand appeal of this game is. I picked up all of them so far, but only made it through maybe 1/4 of the first before I stopped and didn't come back.

As much as I'd love to have a GOW platinum, I wasn't able to beat either game in god mode (got close in the first one), which I'm guessing will be a requirement, plus some of those challenge rooms in GOW2 were, well, challenging.

Still, High Def. Kratos is too good to pass up. Who know, maybe my mad gaming skillz have gotten madder over the last couple of years (just like Kratos).

Man talk about Sony doing an insane turn around in 2009. I mean giving people these games bundled and both games having Trophies. It's like a God of War hardcore gamer's heaven.

God of War series is by one of my favorite single player series of all time. Sure I do own the games already, played them tirelessly and to be honest quit when I got a taste of what God Mode (GOW1) and Titan Mode (GOW2) had to offer, and to be honest...I just said "Meh".

But now that the Trophies are their, I will have a bigger incentive to actually try to beat it on those modes.

Sony just has been playing their cards right, especially since God of War 3 is only a couple of months of way. It's really a good way to give even more hype to God of War 3 and get people to buy it.

Someone please agree with me, when I say that God of War series in general deserved way more buys and sales, then a lot of these other franchizes that really only get baught by young kids under 18. I won't name any names, but when you go online and you play this certain game and all you hear are 13 year old kids talking about "I pwn, you just got teabagged.." it's really pathetic.

God of War 1 was one of my favorite games for PS2. I never owned or played God of War 2 and the PS3 isn't backwards compatible, so this is perfect.

Hey if bringing old school games (badass ones) are coming out again and better than before, and still have a the other badass PS3 games that are coming out also, then by all means bring it on! Better for me as a consumer =]

You're a fucking idiot.

When you are the age of 14 such as Storm Eagle is, then yes. Yes it is.
