God of War Collection Gets Double the Reward
The God of War series has been considered by many to not only reign supreme in its genre, but is also mentioned as one of the best in gaming. Only days ago, the God of War Collection was announced by Sony. Not only does the collection include both God of War 1 and 2 on a Blu-Ray, but the game has both been optimized at 720p and will include trophies.
In a recent Q&A with John Height, a director at Sony Santa Monica Studio, the God of War Collection was explained in more depth. He mentioned during the interview that the 2 games will remain the same, but apparently look so good that they haven’t bothered improving the visuals. More importantly, John Height had the following to say during the Q&A:
IGN: Speaking of that, how are Trophies being handled in the game? Are they being treated as if there are two separate games, or…
“John Hight: Yes, yes it is. We actually got the OK from our network platform guys to give us… essentially we’re getting double the amount of Trophies because we have two games on one disc.
IGN: So are there two Platinums in there?
John Hight: I haven’t looked at the final list, but I would say probably.”
So it seems that not only will there probably be double the trophies of the average PS3 game on only 1-disk, but there might also be 2 platinums. If that’s the case, the God of War Collection will become a trophy hunter’s dream considering the game will retail at $39.99.

erm… one Blu-ray disc. It’s still 2 games.

That would be pretty epic. I hope some other games get this kind of treatment.

hello …
yeah looking forward for other games to follow the path …
still i don’t get the trophy thingy .. for i’m not connected to broadband yet @ home (COME ON!!!!) …
yeah will do so soon @ home just waiting another month before having it activated!
the trophies on PS3 games are rewards/achievements, but do that gives you more than like a hall of fame to show off you talent or abilities …
what does that imply to win the Platinum trophy, mind anyone explain, thank you!
cheers!

You don’t need to be connected to get trophies. You can earn them offline. Then when you go online, they’ll be synched. I don’t think you should read too much into them.
If you need to get the firmware that supports trophies it should be included on any some new game discs I’d think. Or you can download it from your computer and update your PS3. There are currently no expanded trophy features online, so you’re not really missing out. It’s more of an online bragging tool, similar to achievements on XBL.

Oh and you get a platinum trophy for a game if you unlock all other trophies. They are generally hard to come by and I currently have ZERO. haha

“apparently look so good that they haven’t bothered improving the visuals” – but then how is it remastered in 720p? I guess just upscaled. This statement is confusing.

When the games released on PS2 I believe both (I know GOW2 did) had 720P support as long as you had the cables. The PS2 was ahead of its time…

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
p.s. SONY RETURN- BACKWARD C on PS3 SLIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 2nd, 2009 at 11:47 AM
very nice i never really bothered playing through the GOW games more than once even though i really liked them. I guess i have more of an incentive to beat the game in its hardest difficulties. The holidays couldn’t be coming any slower. Hurry up and get here Oct, Nov, and Dec

Good luck with the platinum trophies, beating the hundreds of Kratos’ at the end of God Mode while protecting your useless wife and kid that stand there and practically give themselves to them. jesus this was the most frustrating part of the game. i gave up on it after i dont know how many hours.
September 2nd, 2009 at 12:12 PM
oh yeah now l remember passing it on God mode. Protecting your wife was Fing hard and frustrating, now l got to do it again
but, it’s an awesome game so l’ll do it again

now that’s one “hell” of a deal! 2 Platinums FTW!

@Matt2005USAF
God of War II had 480p support, not 720p.
September 2nd, 2009 at 3:56 PM
will be getting this
September 2nd, 2009 at 4:33 PM
Day 3 buy definately
September 2nd, 2009 at 4:49 PM
That’s wild!

They really didn’t improve the visuals which is expected as it is still one of the best looking games. $40 is such a good price. It’ll be better if they put it down to $30.
I’m picking this up, nonetheless. When would this be released?
September 2nd, 2009 at 6:12 PM
I’m really looking forward to this release, Not only for the trophies but I missed GoW series completely so far. I was too busy being addicted to FFXI for the first one and since I missed that release didnt’ look into the second one.

day 1 purchase
September 2nd, 2009 at 7:03 PM
I would not be surpprised if sony includes a special treat… the god of war 3 e3 2009 demo before it releases on the psn on that bluray
September 2nd, 2009 at 8:26 PM
@Devon I believe that it would include a GoW3 demo in it. It really is a special treat.

[...] With both God of War 1 and 2 compacted onto a single Blu-Ray disc, optimized at 720p, featuring double the trophies, and scheduled for a holiday 2009 release, what could go wrong? Well unfortunately, a SCEE [...]
