God of War I & II for the PS3
 

The only real reason I wanted Sony to ever bring back PS2 BC for the PS3 was so I could finally play God of War I and II... and now it doesn't matter :)

Sony are releasing God of War I and II on one Blu-ray Disc, remastered at 720p for the PS3, as the "God of War Collection".

Read this today on Joystiq I think. Might check it out myself when its out as I never played any of the previous games before.

Re: God of War I & II for the PS3
 

Same, I've never played those 2 but when they showed God of War III at E3, it looked really awesome. So I may have to check them 2 out before the third is released.

Re: God of War I & II for the PS3
 

Its devil may cry from capcom set in greece time frame. with chain reach weapons replacing dantes guns for long range attacks. The first game was very platform based with repeated "walk the plank" sections. the Real Time Events from the game cube that have been in most games since got boring fast.

Re: God of War I & II for the PS3
 

Same "hack 'n' slash" genre as DMC, yeah, but I've never read the kind of praise I've read for GoW for DMC though. GoW II was widely acclaimed as being one of *the* best PS2 games ever.

Re: God of War I & II for the PS3
 

GOW2 was amazing, never got to play the first one though. My PS3 has BC but I'd much rather get this disc with both on it remastered.

Re: God of War I & II for the PS3
 

Oh yeah, before I buy this aswell I think I'll wanna see some comparison screenshots from the original games. Just so I can see what the difference actually is.

Re: God of War I & II for the PS3
 

Well they will be running at 720p so I imagine the frame rate and textures will be slightly improved.

I do remember that God of War 2 had an enhanced mode when run through a PS3 but only in the USA.

Re: God of War I & II for the PS3
 

Its not out till 2010 in EU.
Youll need to import it. if you want it this year.

Re: God of War I & II for the PS3
 

Yeah, SCEE is being its usual stupid self so once again Europe has to wait.

Re: God of War I & II for the PS3
 

I think I'll wait to see when it's released over here before getting it imported.

Re: God of War I & II for the PS3
 

Still no word on a UK/Europe release for this.

I've pre-ordered the REGION FREE US version from Movietyme.com. Currently £27.99, although it was £26.99 when I pre-ordered it.

Re: God of War I & II for the PS3
 

Movietyme just declined my card! I've got over £400 in my bank so it shouldn't deny it. I'll have to try it again.

Re: God of War I & II for the PS3
 

Has Movietyme processed anyones order for this yet?

Re: God of War I & II for the PS3
 

I had an email (yesterday I think) which said it was "Processing". It also says "Processing" when I log into Movietyme.com.

Re: God of War I & II for the PS3
 

Just got an email saying mine has been shipped. :D

Re: God of War I & II for the PS3
 

Ditto :)

Re: God of War I & II for the PS3
 

I'll need to wait till after payday to order. Can't wait though :)

Re: God of War I & II for the PS3
 

My copy came today. :) It took less than a week to come when Movietyme said it'd come within 7-14 days. Maybe it was cause of express delivery... I had a quick go on Hard, I can't even do the giant fish bit!

Re: God of War I & II for the PS3
 

My copy came yesterday. No import VAT (good ol' Movietyme :D ).

Played the first chapter/act/whatever last night, on "Normal". Seems harder than current games!

Very good so far I think, although my fingers get tired from the button bashing!

Re: God of War I & II for the PS3
 

I'm upto Athens Rooftops. It's a really hard game. I'm playing it on Normal too. I didn't realise how much button bashing would be involved.

Re: God of War I & II for the PS3
 

Yeah.

I am enjoying it more than Ninja Gaiden & DMC4 so far though, which I found too hard (NG) & too boring (DMC4).

I think my favourite Hack 'n' Slash is actually Heavenly Sword. Great fun, great graphics, & a good story, voice acting, etc.

Re: God of War I & II for the PS3
 

They've finally confirmed a European release for this, just no date for it.. just some time next year.

The source also mentions the possibility of an another collection containing Ico and Shadow Of The Colossus.
