KrazyKaiju Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Those are all good deals, especially at $30. I never picked up GoW 3 so I'll definitely give that one a try. I'm torn about getting the R&C collection though. If they had included Ratchet Deadlocked I probably would have gone for that collection too.

HammR25 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I preordered the Ratchet and Clank one since I never owned a PS2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 I picked up the Ratchet & Clank Collection too since I have all the God of War games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowCoder Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I've only played GoW 1 and 2. I've played through all of the R&C games multiple times. At $30, I'd be happy to play the PS2 remastered versions on my PS3. But only if I can get them on disc. No "download only". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Hmmn.. so they take out direct PS2 support and then magically these "remasters" start appearing for sale. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Hmmn.. so they take out direct PS2 support and then magically these "remasters" start appearing for sale. Nice. PS2 support was removed years ago. These HD remasters are a fairly recent development. I doubt PS2 compatibility was killed since they envisioned doing this. I don't see these as being a bad thing. I for one would still want to see things like the Team Ico collection even if my PS3 was BC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protoplasym Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I am extremely upset by seeing this. I 'ONLY' purchased Festival of Blood for Infamous, because it was advertised that it was going to be Digital Download only. I only buy DL games if they're 100million% 'only' DL games... I will always buy a physical copy of a game if there is a physical copy. This is a gross representation of their product, and I'm not surprised... todays Devs/Pubs say one thing and do something entirely different (much like Politicians). I will think twice before buying "exclusive content" via DL from this point on.... knowing that the item might be available physically at some point.

At $30, I'd be happy to play the PS2 remastered versions on my PS3. But only if I can get them on disc. No "download only". I have to retract my statement about thinking about buying R&C remastered. "Remastered" appears to be exactly what it is. I thought maybe they'd upgrade the engine, making it look more like "Crack in Time" or "Tools of Destruction" on PS3 with more detail, etc., but all they appear to be is upgraded from 480p to 720p. In my opinion, this does not justify paying just to play on the PS3. My PS2 has component out, which makes the graphics just fine. When they start showing up for $9.99, I may pick one up.

Rex Dart Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I dunno, 720p (and up) is what PS2 titles need. They normally ran at like 320x200, so you'd actually get a "better" picture with RF or composite... way too jagged otherwise. Playing them emulated at 720p and higher looks great, though. I'm kind of interested in the Ratchet & Clank and Sly Cooper collections, since I only ever owned the first game of each set on the ol' PS2.

As Rex said unless you have an older TV set and even then it will look crappy compared to the HD remastered versions. They simply look great now. These guys (Sony remasters) are 1,000 times better than Konami's pathetic attempt at remastering Silent Hill. It depends who is doing the remastering and how much effort and support they get from parent company. I wasn't too thrilled with Capcoms Devil May Cry remasters either. They simply remastered the main game and none of the menu's or titles screens. Sony tends to do a waaaay better job. I have to admit.

This I do not understand... they already released a pair of Compilations to cover this... and now a, "all in one" comp... if they need money this badly, why not just come out and start charging for access to the PSN, imo... it'd be less insulting.

In essence you are correct. On top of that, GOW Saga only provides PSN vouchers for the PSP games, not the actual games on disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Publishers do this all the time. They take all there games and box them. Grand Theft Auto. Gears of War. Metal Gear Solid. You name it. This is just another box set. For people who have none of them and want them. Its a good deal. The vouchers hurt it but everything seems to be going digital it seems. I think Sony also wanted to add 3D to GOW3. Not sure why they couldnt have done it as a patch or add on or something. Edited August 21, 2012 by cimerians Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Really? I've never seen an IP packaged up as many times as God of War - it seems extremely redundant at this point. All this is is a bundle of content already available on the PS3. Such things have been done for many years now dating back to at least the 1980's. I'd be hard pressed to name a successful series on the PS3 or PS3 that hasn't had several of its entries bundled together in a package deal. My Wal-Mart is still full of 5 or 6 of them at this point just for the PS2 like a Medal of Honor boxset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammR25 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Namco has certainly been good at this. They suckered me into buying the PS3 Namco Museum simply because it's the only place to get Xevious Resurrection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammR25 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Brown Santa brought the Ratchet and Clank Collection while I was home for lunch. Apparently there was an optional PS3 system update in July that I never bothered with. This game forced me to install system update 4.21 before I started playing. I have no idea how good it looks compared to the PS2 but it's not bad. It's widescreen now except for the cutscenes. 3 games for $30 is definitely a good deal since I never owned them.

I only had the first game on the PS2 but now I can shelve it because with my HD screen the old game looks painful compared to this. Weapons and bolts oh yeah!!!!!!

I had to update the OS for my 3ds when I opened that 3d Mario game. I was beeeeeeeyond furious..... and I chewed N. ass out hard (like they gave two ****s). There was NOTHING on the package about having to have a net connection to install/play the game, complete false advertisement... beeeeeyond underhanded of them, in order to force an OS update. There's no excuse for that kind of trickery, and if I could turn my outrage into physical pain for whoever masterminded that decision, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Some little slimey suit pos thought it was 'ok' to slip that in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
