I swear I am hating the Canadian boxarts. It's SHIT! I thought it's Uncharted 2 with the shitty washed out colors but no. IT'S EVERY PS3 BOXART! EVERY FUCKING PS3 BOXART WITH NEW LOGO SUCKS ASS! I'm glad Modern Warfare 2 was in the old logo and had no french on it!!

This is like having rose-tinted glasses applied to the game, it's awesome. It feels like this is how I remember it looking on my SDTV, then every time I see any of the prerendered stuff it's like BLEUGH GROSS. Good way to make it survive the next-gen new-standards thing.
I finally played up to Medusa in GOW and completed the first part of GOW2 ... and all I have to say is that IMO, it's still the king of the genre. So many awesome it hurts. And both games (especially GOW2) are still impressive ... even after OMG insane looking games like Uncharted 2 etc.
GOW3 will be hot if it can keep a steady frame rate... it looks soooooo good when the frame rate is high in the demo...
I'm not sure about all that MGS2-style button holding though...

Depends on how ICO/SOTC were originally programmed.

I don't think it'd be too easy for ICO/SOTC considering how complex every thing to the basic animations panned out.
But I'd love to be pleasently surprised.... But only if they include these guys:
Griffon
Monkey
Bird
Sirius
Spider
Phoenix
Devil
Worm
EDIT:
These all came from the artbook.

Actually I just looked at the comparison screens again (opening post) and even the game is a little stretched.
How retarded are they for stretching the "almost 16:9" of the PS2 game into a standard 16:9 ratio? Couldn't they be smart and simply put some black around the borders at worse?
I HATE CHEAP JOBS. fuck you Sony.

Got the Collection this afternoon. I'm just on God of War 1 as of now, and at an annoying point where I don't know what to do.
I just don't know what to do. Besides that, I'm having a great time.
This dude is holding a lever quite a bit away, and it is keeping the bridge from coming up.

Dude! The port is amazing.
I got about a half hour into GoW 1 and it is looking really fine. The use of AA with the rope walls make you realize how big of a difference you can get with some basic graphic acceleration.
+Trophies
Awesome.
Also, the sound effects / music seem better mixed to me. Much crisper than I remember from playing the PS2 version.

A-MAZING PORT~! So much fun!! I'm glad I gave both of my copy to my friend the day I read the survey!
Stopped playing after 1:30 hrs kicked in (according to the save file lol).

Half-way done with the first one. Stopped playing it for my eyes can't stand the awesomeness!
1. The new Santa Monica logo is awesome!!!! I love the fact that they used the "Linger With Shadows" intro. Tech demo not gone to waste!
2. My brother walked into the room watching me play and said "God of War 3???". I said "No. God of War: Collection." He said "OMG! Looks so good! Is this God of War 2?" and I said "No. God Of War 1" and he said "OMG!!!! Insane!!" :lol
3. Playing on hard. Worth it in hard!
4. Enjoying the XMB-less save-file loading. I hate the "Successfully loaded. Press O" that always shows up on PS3 so it was a good change to NOT see it.
5. At one point of the game I died and one of my friend signed out. Even the goddamn notification had a fading edge when I died! Mind fucking blown!!

It's been quite a long time when I played that game, but I'm pretty sure you can shoot that guy.

While the game is linear, its not THAT linear. Try you know, looking around... I believe you can knock down a walk way and work back towards a bridge thats partially on fire (which you must have completely skipped). Head down that waylastinline said:Got the Collection this afternoon. I'm just on God of War 1 as of now, and at an annoying point where I don't know what to do.I just don't know what to do.

Funny how you said "long time". It feels like a brand new game to me! :lol
That said, to lastinline: Backtrack. Go down the ladder where you came from, kill some baddies, get outta the room, go up and you'll know where to go.

This made me chuckle.
Played the the first one for about four hours last night. It really looks great!

That dang guy leaning on the lever had me running in circles for a while as well.

This was originally proposed as a pack-in for a special edition. It's cheap to convert PS2 games.
The conversion staff consists of just six people. It's easy to convert PS2 games.
It took about eight weeks to do it. It's quick to convert PS2 games.
It's bargain priced, contains two platinums, and you get almost every single trophy just by completing the games. Sony's going to make a mint on this, and they're going to have the data points they need to sell this process to third parties.
Expect ICO/SotC next, and third party compilations (very possibly Silent Hill, MGS, Kingdom Hearts, Devil May Cry, FFXII, FFX/X-2, and others) starting maybe a year after that. My guess is that converting PS2 games is pretty much printing money - just like FFVII to PSN was.
Because of a lot of the stuff the God of War 1/2 engine pulls off, SamBishop seems to think that this could be a sign that a more universal form of emulation could still be on its way... I really, really hope so (even though it'd just be running at upscaled 480i/p for basic emulation, I'm sure, that's the same as the 60GB right now), but I think these port-conversions with HD graphics and Trophies might be so profitable that Sony might prefer to go exclusively down this road. Time will tell.

Yea, they should make it a standard already, like trophies. Even across the same company there is inconsistency: SFIV had awesome inner artwork, yet Resident Evil 5 (which came out a month later) had nothing. Same with MGS4 and Modern Warfare 2. It's really crazy when a smaller company like Atlus or Tecmo does it yet some of the biggest games on the system do not.

I would be too, AS LONG AS my favorite games make it over. Based on how the PS1 releases have gone with SCEA, I'm not THAT confident.Kintaro said:
Watch us get RE4 HD... with the PS2 assets :lol
I'm not sure why people should be EXPECTING those games. It would be great, but they never saw huge success here and I feel as if porting them would actually be more difficult (particularly SotC). They would both benefit a LOT, though. Seeing ICO in a resolution higher than 640x240 would be great.
