I wonder how they're going to manage putting PS2 games on a Blu-Ray. Unfortunately I already own both since I bought them in Greatest Hits.2009-04-16 11:22:00

So will this compilation be playable on a 40 gig PS3?
It would be nice to play God of War I & II in HD. even older games can look amazing in HD.

There is this movie out there of some guy playing Wii games in HD trough an emulator.
Those games look at least twice as good as they do now.

I would assume so considering that the vast majority of PS3's don't have any BC.

Would certainly play on a PS3 no matter the SKU. That said, not sure I care to play these at this point as they most likely won't be updated for HD. I'm not expecting complete remakes, but they need to be formatted for HDTV at the very least if they're even going to bother. And I'll happily accept a DTS track if they want to tack that on as well.

In summation, if they put forth the effort to do it right then I'll most definitely fork over the cash. This year is going to be another expensive one...

Hmmm... great idea though I already have the games. It would be awesome for people who haven't played them though. My second favourite is the developer commentary. Like Portal they could have little headphone signs or something in the game that you run up to and activate to listen to the commentary as you play the game... after you've already finished it once of course.

Also there really should be making-of featurettes, exclusive packaging and some sort of collectible though a bust or model of Kratos may drive the price up too high if they include 1 & 2 as well. Keychain may be better. No exclusive game content though if it changes how you play the game at all. A skin might be ok as long as it doesn't really change gameplay.

The should devote a completely separate BD for all the extra content; there would certainly be enough space on a BD-25 for both PS2 games and all the extras they could imagine. Of course, if they want to go with lossless codecs and use a BD-50 you wouldn't hear me complaining... 2009-04-16 16:41:00

Sony surveyed potential God of War III fans this week about what they'd like to see in a collector's edition for the PlayStation 3 sequel, including repackaging the first two games on Blu-ray.

That would almost certainly indicate that PlayStation 2 games would be playable on the PlayStation 3, a backwards compatibility option that the most recent PS3 configurations don't offer. And that would be just about the greatest thing since in-game text chat to hit the console.

Not so fast, Sony Computer Entertainment reps say. The console maker is not announcing updated PS2 support just yet.

"It is simply a marketing survey. The goal of it is to do focus group testing," SCEA reps told Kotaku. "We're just trying to find out what would resonate with the God of War community."

SCEA reps indicated that, while PlayStation 2 backwards compatibility isn't out of the question, don't assume that dangling the prospect in your face is a promise.

"If that was the number one requested thing, that would be something they would need to see if that was most technically feasible," reps clarified.

"Obviously with Blu-ray, we're able to put more content on the disc," we were told. "But in terms of having seen God of War II on a Blu-ray disc on a debug and playing it that way, no, that's not something I've seen."

While the door has been left open to allow the possibility?which could be technically possible on a game-by-game basis?keep your expectations lowered. We'll all be happier that way.
