God of War: Origins Collection demo hits PSN tomorrow for Plus members, next week for everyone

by Jordan Mallory on Aug 29th 2011 3:30PM

The life of a Spartan is hard, you know? Not only do you spend the majority of your time battling the will of the gods and/or Freddy Krueger, but you've also got to deal with Ready at Dawn rebuilding your entire body from scratch. Being completely reconstituted from the ground up is a serious drag on a wrathful deity's love life, but it looks like the reconstruction process is nearly finished, as the God of War: Origins Collection demo will soon make its way into your living room.

PlayStation Plus members itchin' for some PSP-remake action can get their hands dirty as early as tomorrow, while plebeian un-Plus members will have to quell their bloodlust until September 6. Full stereoscopic 3D will be included in the demo as well, so if you've got a 3D-capable display and an action-capable attitude, the only thing keeping you from olympian glory is yourself. Unless you're not a PlayStation Plus member; that will also keep you from olympian glory, for one week.

And people called me stupid cause I didn't get plus hater gonna hate

Been waiting for this Demo! Hopefully they release this product a la the God of War collections on PSN; would be a good option for both sides of the consumer base. I already have both of the PSP titles but damn I just can't control myself; looks so delicious.

@SilentSoul

Co-Sign

Getting a 3DTV just for this and Resistance 3 next week.

You know what would be awesome?
Releasing this on PSN day one.
You know what would be amazing?
To be able to play this on PS Vita with the same buy...

One can dream...

@KaCeX

If you already have the digital PSP versions from the store then they will work on the PSV.

@KaCeX
I just recently bought these games via PSN for the PSP. I bought a PSP just to play them. (This was of course before they announced this collection.)

I mad.

@KaCeX Games like this don't work on portables. That's why they get 'proper' releases.

@Dick Socrates

Clearly you've never played either of them. Not only did these games work on the PSP, they worked damn well. Keep your pretentious BS to yourself.

@KaCeX

I bought GoS on PSN, just so I could play it on my Vita.

boom chicka wow wow

@Dick Socrates

Aside from the ergonomic mess that is the PSP nub, the GoW games worked better on the PSP. The lack of buttons made the controls more streamlined, and in my opinion much better than the console counterparts. Story-wise I think the two PSP games are also better than any of the 3 console games.

Don't Need A Demo For This. I'm Gonna Buy It Anyways.

@HardBoiled2009

Agreed

Has it come to this? Releasing a remake of a handheld?

@Wise Men

Beats wasting everyones time releasing ports of ports of 20 year old games

Agreed. But are either of those options really good? How about just make some new games.

its seems that not only great games games are coming later this later like the uncharted your skyrim and batman but some great classics too. i cant wait to buy this game and ofcourse ico and the shadow of the colossus. HD remakes are awesome. Also tekken hybrid with the first tekken tag is coming later too. man i cant wait. im a huge tekken fan.

@Esir excuse my repeats and stuff. im excited

Can't wait for the demo, played Chain of Olympus but never Ghost of Sparta so getting this for PS3.

God of War: Origins Collection Info

Description

The God of War franchise has set the bar for the action-adventure genre, selling over 11 million units worldwide and receiving various awards, while enjoying critical acclaim from the videogame industry’s top media. This began in 2005 when Sony Computer Entertainment America’s (SCEA) Santa Monica Studio introduced God of War, a game that won over a dozen ‘Game of the Year Awards.’ Then in 2007, the award-winning development team introduced God of War II, the second chapter of this sprawling odyssey, followed by God of War III in 2010, the franchise’s first title designed for the PlayStation®3 (PS3™) system and one that sold over 1 million copies in its first week of release last March. In 2008, the adventure moved to the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system with God of War®: Chains of Olympus, a game that is currently the highest rated PSP title of all-time on MetaCritic.com with a score of 91. Developed by Ready At Dawn Studios, in collaboration with SCEA’s Santa Monica team, Chains of Olympus has been praised by fans and critics alike as one of the best portable gaming experiences to date. The same creative team then continued that excellence with God of War®: Ghost of Sparta for the PSP and PSPgo systems, detailing a journey that takes place after the conclusion of God of War, telling the story of Spartan warrior Kratos’ ascension to power as the new God of War. Combining intense action, a fresh storyline, stunning graphics, and depths of scale never-before-seen on the portable platform, Ghost of Sparta was also critically acclaimed, boasting a current MetaCritic.com score of 86. Now, discover the origins of Kratos with the definitive compilation of God of War: Chains of Olympus and God of War: Ghost of Sparta on a single Blu-ray disc for the first time! Fully remastered in 1080p and stereoscopic 3-D, players will discover the dark past that continues to haunt the Spartan Warrior, and why he is forced to choose between his own personal redemption and saving the ancient world from destruction.
