God of War Collection to include God of War III demo

by Randy Nelson { Sep 23rd 2009 at 3:57PM }

As if having the first two God of War games remastered in HD for PS3 wasn't reason enough to pick up the God of War Collection, Sony has announced via the PlayStation blog that the title -- due to hit in November -- will include a download voucher for the E3 demo of God of War III. This isn't a promotion limited to specific retailers: all copies of the game will contain the code, and the demo will be available via the PlayStation Store on the day the collection is released.

Now, before you say, "Hey, isn't an E3 demo kind of old?," you should know that the slice of the game we played at the show was pretty robust, lasting nearly 20 minutes and showcasing a good variety of locations and many of the new moves at Kratos' disposal. So there's that ... and the fact that you'll get to play God of War III before 2010.

Now we talking!

Platinum_Skeet @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:31PM

I haven't played the first to God of Wars now that they threw the demo in with this version it's become a must buy for me...

shadowhowl1900 @ Sep 23rd 2009 6:51PM

platnium, u have missed out on like an epic game that more epic than MGS4 and all the other MGS series combined and a dash of fallout 3 as well. That's who epic GoW is.

FreshJulius @ Sep 24th 2009 9:53AM

I'm with you skeet x3, I never played them and I'm really looking forward to this!

I have BC, but didn't want to hunt down the PS2 vers to play in PS2 res, but now...

When's the release again?

D0V3Y @ Sep 23rd 2009 3:58PM

buying... two copies.. cause i can haha

Space @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:02PM

D0V3Y @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:08PM

haha sure? i'll probably just buy like 15 copies and walk along the street and hand them to people so everyone can bask in the God of War awesomeness :)

Umm, where do you live and how do I get to those streets you are talking about?

D0V3Y @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:24PM

i.c. weiner @ Sep 23rd 2009 5:29PM

captainprotonx @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:00PM

SaMav @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:08PM

The1stMJC @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:21PM

Taylor @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:22PM

I never played the first two games (no excuses really) so this is a definite buy for me. Can't wait.

j.howlett @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:02PM

i already pre ordered the collection, now i get to pull off a head early on top of that

Heimbachae @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:02PM

GoW sucks. serious, i don't get why people like this game? it's repetitive, and i've seen the new one, i've played the new one, and graphically it's nothing special.

kavendano14 @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:04PM

LOL

[ArchiGamer] [Painstakingly Written Before A Live Audience] @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:06PM

I know man, why do people like Gears of War anyway?

oh wait....my bad, wrong abbreviation..

Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:07PM

Played the new one?? So you were @ E3?? how'd that go for ya??

HeXeN {KevinConroyDefeatsBatman} @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:07PM

"i've seen the new one, i've played the new one"

right there you could tell that you were trying too hard.May I suggest you try a lower level of trolling.

Heimbachae @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:09PM

they had a truck going around town to town fellows. it was at a festival called musikfest in bethlehem, pa in august. and yea, i still wasn't impressed.

captainprotonx @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:11PM

Heimbachae, you sir, are an idiot.

Troy Powers (PSN: TroyPowers) @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:13PM

I played it at the Sony tent at Lollapalooza. I thought it kicked ass!

GiggMan @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:13PM

Why do people love to try to convince others not to buy a particular game. It seems like a waste of time if you ask me.

This guy on the other hand seems so genuine... I mean come on people he freaking seen and played the game!! How many people can honestly say that.

You all have been warned..

Thanks Heimbachae!

Heimbachae @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:14PM

idiot? sorry, it's just not my kind of game. i like my killzone 2 and mgs4 over this ANY day. from what i played in that trailer at musikfest it's not that polished, TRUST ME.... oh wait, none of you do, i've been downvoted like a MOTHER!!!! oh well, i know i'm right.

do none of you know there was a truck going around with it inside to play???

Space @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:20PM

it's cool, Kratos doesn't want weiner-babies playing his game anyway...

greg (peevmyster) @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:21PM

your repetative!

HeXeN {KevinConroyDefeatsBatman} @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:21PM

@GiggMan

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.The rule I follow is if someone starts with {insert game}sucks; the rest of what the person says can be thrown out the window b/c they are obviously trying to convince everyone else that it true.

Fullmetal Salchemist @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:22PM

Not everyone likes God of War. I played the first on PS2, and thought the main character was an insufferable prick, and the game was trying very hard to rope in the 14-year-old boy demographic. I now own a PS3 and could not possibly care less about the collection, or the new installment.

Now, I sit back and watch you rabid fanboys vote me the hell down.

Prof. Von Manifest of the Clan McCloud (illogical logic is still logical) @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:22PM

Why must people always think that the other side is wrong just because they don't agree?
I hate seeing the use of "idiot" on forums.
Bet money if you disagreed in person you wouldn't use the word.

alioua83 @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:24PM

I have played the game at E3 and I thought it was fantastic, then again I love God of War :)

Str84rumBk (PSN) @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:25PM

guys im sorry for his misake he didnt mean God of War 3 he ment to say Dantes Inferno. you know the God Of War Rip-Off. Simple mistake.

Heimbachae @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:31PM

i'm disappointed i can't state a valid "suck" opinion on here.

GiggMan @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:34PM

Definitely being sarcastic because I don't believe he has played it.

And if he did play it I don't care because he is a troll.

J/k about the troll part. :)

Vidikron @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:35PM

You can state it, you just can't expect to not get down voted.

Heimbachae @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:42PM

first off, it's you're, not your. secondly, i have played it. scroll up a guy said there was a sony booth at Lollapalooza. do you think they would ONLY have 1 booth at 1 festival in the ENTIRE country?? come on guys, you're smarter than that.

[ArchiGamer] [Painstakingly Written Before A Live Audience] @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:42PM

If you had said something in the form of "I personally don't like.." or "I'm not a fan of.." instead of the "This game sux!1!" comment that only trolls and twelve-year-old do, then maybe we wouldn't downvote you to oblivion. Maybe.

HeXeN {KevinConroyDefeatsBatman} @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:48PM

@Heimbachae

Look dude; you could as well be telling the complete truth or you could be lying through your teeth, we just can't tell b/c this is the F*&%$* internet.I myself can come to this site with a different user name and pretend that I am the lead designer of MW2 and would tell everyone that I was high while making it and that the game is going to be a glitch fest.

Prof. Von Manifest of the Clan McCloud (illogical logic is still logical) @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:50PM

*runs to cancel preorder*

Heimbachae @ Sep 23rd 2009 4:59PM

Well, just like the internet you all follow the leader and don't really check on the facts to see if i was or was not telling the truth. So can someone please go look up if the Sony truck, or booth as someone called it (although it WAS a Semi) was at Musikfest in Bethlehem, Pa this year AND TELL ME I'M A LIAR.

Heimbachae @ Sep 23rd 2009 5:05PM

not to rub it in, because it doesn't state any games that are in the booth, but i did a simple google search of "Musikfest 2009 Sony" and I found this (note: as previously mentioned the event was in August 2009):

GiggMan @ Sep 23rd 2009 5:09PM

What were we talking about again??

LegendaryRedass @ Sep 23rd 2009 7:28PM

This makes up for all the damn delays until 2010.

As this was one too, it seems like every Sony rumor turns out to be correct. So I'm looking forward to downloading ps2 games like MGS3 in the (hopefully near) future too.

Victoryismine @ Sep 23rd 2009 7:59PM

One of the best downvote fests I have seen!!!
oh and note to Heimbachae your downvotes all have to do with your approach you can't expect to come in here saying things like THIS GAME SUCKS and then expect people to listen to your argument after that. The reason people keep downvoting you is because of how you painted yourself with your first post. You can't expect people to take you seriously when to be honest the only time we really hear poeple screaming about how a game sucks (a game that a lot of people like) is when they are obvious fanboys just trolling. Like someone else already said if you came in here starting with 'In my opinion' or 'Honestly I've never seen the appeal of this type of game' or something that would be different. saying later that you prefer Killzone 2 and MGS4 isn't going to matter cause everyones already blocking you out.

I read all of your posts and for someone who complains so much that people aren't reading his posts you don't seem to be listening to what most of the people are saying. It's not really about if you've played it or not it's how you presented yourself on the forum
