Depending on how much you’ve bought into the whole Trophy thing, this may or may not be a selling point for you, but it certainly doesn’t hurt that they’ve been added to this great package.Īll of the extras from both titles are also included on the disc, which is likely the real reason you’ll want to complete all of the game’s challenges - the extras offer both a revealing peek at behind-the-scenes production, as well as backstory and narrative clues that tie things together. (As if they games being incredibly fun and completely engaging isn’t enough.) They range from run of the mill (collect this thing, kill that thing, complete this other thing) to speed runs or other challenges off the game’s beaten path.
#PS3 MULTIMON FULL#
You may almost forget you’re playing PS2 ports, especially while playing the sequel, which still stands as one of the most technically marvelous games on the PS2.Īs icing on the cake, full sets of trophies have been added for both games, which may provide that extra incentive for God of War veterans to give the games another go on the PlayStation 3. It’s not until you compare the games side-by-side that you truly see the remastering work done for the God of War Collection. Carefully made artistic choices, breathtaking sets, and epic design truly pushed the PS2 to its limits. You probably remember them looking beautiful running on the PS2, and this is a testament to the work the original teams did on both titles. In fact, for those who played both titles on the PS2, you won’t see much of a difference at all.
Both titles look great running in high definition, but it’s unlikely you’ll be knocked back in your chair by the upgrades at first glance. Both games look about as good as you can expect, considering both are ports of PlayStation 2 titles which were designed with a lower resolution in mind.
But it didn’t, instead “remastering” both games to take advantage of the PlayStation 3 hardware.īoth titles have had a resolution bump, supporting 720p, fancy anti-aliasing, with a frame-rate locked at a smooth 60 frames per second. Of course, Sony could have stopped there and the appeal of the package would have been undeniable. With God of War Collection, Sony makes its first case for being able to ditch your last-gen PlayStation by putting both God of War I and God of War II on one Blu-ray disc. So when Sony pulled backwards compatibility off its PlayStation 3 features list, keeping the PlayStation 2 in your living room would be essential - leaving these classics (among others) behind would be foolish. While the basic concepts and gameplay mechanics found in both titles weren’t particularly revolutionary, they were executed near-flawlessly, with epic style and satisfying combat that’s still being mimicked by developers today.įor fans of intense and brutal third-person action, both titles are musts for the collection. The first God of War and its sequel are arguably some of the best third-person action titles to grace any platform, and easily the high point of Sony’s strong first-party PlayStation 2 line-up. So Stig is really good at bluffing, or Sony didn’t invite him to some meetings.Įither way, I’m certainly glad he was wrong.ĭeveloper: Sony Santa Monica, Bluepoint Games Months later, Sony announced the God of War Collection, a single Blu-ray disc containing both titles along with visual upgrades for the PlayStation 3. “I don’t know anything about it,” said of God of War III producer Stig Asmussen of a God of War I/ II Blu-ray collection, “so I don’t think it’s likely it’s gonna happen.”
