God of War Collection Makes the Holiday Cut
When the God of War Collection was first hinted at back in April and officially announced just a few months ago, the PlayStation 2 classic collection quickly rose to the top of the charts for pre-orders. However, fans of the series were disappointed to hear about a rumored delay to the PS3 rendition. Fortunately, this is not the case.
The rumor originated from the Gamestop listing for the God of War Collection for March 6, 2010. However, Professor PlayStation (a.k.a. Jeff Rubenstein) confirmed to PS3Center.net that Kratos will be making it before Christmas and that “the release date remains Fall 2009″.
According to listings from Amazon and GameCrazy, the release date still stands at November 10, 2009. But in the event of a delay or similar tragedy, PlayStation LifeStyle will keep you updated.

Any news on the euro release date? i know i can always import, but it costs a bit extra so id like to work out if the wait is worth the extra dollar or not! Thank you

sweet, bring it on

I was thinking…
for this to be playable on the PS3 wouldn’t that mean that they have created backwards compatibility software?
I understand that they have increased the resolution to 1080p but it should still require the emotion engine or an emotion engine emulator?

I think it would have been a bad move releasing the Collection just a few weeks before GoW III came out…on that note GameFly has the release on Nov. 19

@veovi – the way I read it, the games were completely redone for the ps3, 1080p, trophies, etc.
so they’re basically ps3 games with repurposed assets.

@wtGp
i used to go on Ares like 2 years ago…and that would be one hell of a wrath to unleash

giese095, that’s because Gamefly doesn’t know anything,
example
Katamari Forever

They wouldn’t be releasing this to only BC consoles, so thats wrong.
October 10th, 2009 at 10:18 AM
I don’t think sony need to have BC to work. Sony could be just remaking the god of war series to work on the PS3. Makes more sense as it would mean all the old games would be in HD also chains of olympus would be a full blown out PS3 version.

Don’t we also get the E3 demo as well?
October 13th, 2009 at 4:11 PM
No bc needed, it’s not like it’s a dvd ps2 format. They’ll be reformatting it for a blu ray, of course.
