God of War III survey - Image 1


Sony has sent out a new survey asking gamers what they want in the God of War III Collector's Edition. The survey mentions the usual stuff - an art book, developer commentary, "making of" featurettes - but what really caught my eye was the possibility of getting the first two God of War games on a Blu-ray disc.

That's one of the more novel CE suggestions that Sony included in the survey. Another one is a movie compilation of the cinematics from God of War and God of War II. I guess if the Blu-ray versions of the first two games don't pan out this could serve as a substitute.

Check your inboxes to see if you've received the survey or not. If you did, be a pal and suggest the one about the PS2 games getting released on Blu-ray. Alternatively, you can head straight to the US PlayStation.com website and take the survey. Just use your PSN ID to log in. Here's the rest of the proposed extras:
  • Full game soundtrack
  • Comic book/Graphic novel
  • Exclusive packaging
  • God of War and God of War II on Blu-ray disc
  • God of War and God of War II cinematic movie compilation
  • Art book
  • T-shirt
  • Collectible items
    • Kratos Statue/Figurine/Bust
    • Key chain
    • Necklace
    • T-shirt
  • Access to exclusive downloadable content
  • Behind-the-scenes/"Making of" featurettes
  • Developer commentary
Thanks to grandmort for the tip!

Awesome idea. Imagine Blu-Ray PS2 compilations... Such as all of the old Burnouts on one disc. Just wow. Those games only took up a max of 4gb, unless it was a dual layered dvd.

A GTA compilation. Even more...

For years now, I've hoped that all the past Resident Evil games would be on 1 disc. I'd buy that in an instant.

All the past Metal Gears would be quite cool too.

And I still think that it would be a great idea.
Bump up the native res to 720p and add 7.1 audio and that would be sick, although I doubt they'd do it.

Kratos statue would be cool.

High resolution would be better but if they dont have the time it's all good. Dude if the 2 games are added this has got to be the best Special Edition or Limited Edition in the this gen.

I wonder if pre-orders are available already?

   Re: fearlubu - 2009-04-15
 » nah

as cool as that thought is, most of us fans already have them, so it wont make too much of a difference...i would rather have the cinematic movie contemplation, getting something new, you know?

ohh yeah, i just remembered...not all ps3s have backwards compatibility


!!!!! How about a little extra for CoO? like how Resistance 2 and Retribution had extras and whatnot? that would be nice!

   Re: papajag - 2009-04-15
 » ^...

My friends borrowed mine and probably sold them so I don't have either copy. I have backwards compatible PS3 but I'd rather get those games on Blu-ray.

That survey gave me one of the hardest decisions to have in my life. Except for the T-shirt I wan't it all.

What are you talking about ?

Don't you think that the developers will make sure that EVERY PS3 will be able to play these games if they are included on the disc ?

Rtard...

He was saying that not all PS3's have backwards compatibility to play the old GOW games.

R-Tard...

   Re: Matt-N - 2009-04-16
 » @ jackstraw419

What ~~ is saying, is that the devs will wrap the two old games in a self-contained emulator, of some sort, so would work on ALL PS3s.

R-TARD

   Re: fearlubu - 2009-04-16
 » omg no more Rtarding

@Matt

well ~~ just misunderstood me, so just stop this bickering, its getting annoying

i just simply wanted the cinematic instead, because many of us probably already have 1 and 2... but that would be nice for them to put both a blu ray v of 1 and 2 AND the cinematics...

a little replica of the Blades of Chaos would be nice too....or a dagger-sized one....i wish

   Re: Matt-N - 2009-04-16
 » @ fearlubu

Who the hell do you think you're telling what to do?

jackstraw419 misunderstood what ~~'s point was, and called him a R-TARD to boot, so I corrected him, and returned the lovely name.

I'll comment whenever I want, thanks!

Oh, and if ~~ misunderstood your "ohh yeah, i just remembered...not all ps3s have backwards compatibility" comment, what exactly was your point? You know damn well, ~~ was spot on.

R-TAR... Oh, don't worry!

   Re: fearlubu - 2009-04-17

i was talking about the PS2 v of the games, no tthe blu rays, so ~~ wanst spot on, HE misunderstood me, which jaackstraw corrected, and im not sure what u mean about the "self contained emualtor....cause thats about the blu ray, i was talking about the PS2 versions the WHOLE time

so who the hell do you think YOUR talking to, good sir?

 » re: fearlubu

The survey is for fans who are interested in the collectors edition of God Of War 3. It asks us to rate what extras we want to see in that release. The items asked about are listed above, in the article.

   Re: fearlubu - 2009-04-16

but whats the point of listing them all the same? that proves no purpose

they arent going to stuff all of that in

Of course we would like Gow 1 & 2 in Gow 3. Who doesn't right?

Around 2 years ago or so, my house got broken into and all my games and consoles and whatever got stolen, if sony would release the games on blu ray or even better, the playstation Store. i would grab them in a heartbeat just to replace the 40 PS1 and PS2 games i had. DO IT, DO IT NOW!

That indeed would be epic. It would be the best CE ever released I think and because it would be so awesome, iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit will never happen. If it does, i'll eat a grape ;)

 » tempted and tried

definatly want the first two games, even including the psp version would be sweet as well, but if only the first two get added ill be happy. BTW.... just voted 10 on including the first two.

   by NathanDrake - 2009-04-16
 » yup

Having versions of GoW 1 & 2 that work on non-PS2-compatible PS3's would be great.


   Re: Alistar - 2009-04-16
 » Hmm...

Quite possible too.

As said before, PS2 games only need to be individually coded to work with a PS2 emulator. If this indeed does happen, it would mean that a basic/partial code for GPU emulation "might" exist. Of course, not stable enough to be used like the PS1 emulator... which shows its own emulation issues on non-BC units. (e.g. FF VIII SLES-02080)

 » !!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?WTF!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Good idea, now Game Stop's gonna guilt trip people "you gonna reserve God of War 3?" then when you say no they will say "Well you won't get the collector's edition" then they will ask you if you wanna trade in the PS2 versions of those games, paying you only like $1 per disc. I do like the idea, but they should make this CE available to ALL retailers. P.S. I'd like to see the return of ISOHaven.

   by Stealth! - 2009-04-18
 » You know

It'd be interesting if they could attempt to add some trophies on the Blu-ray God of War 1 and 2 if they do add that in the CE. I also think they should separate both that disc and God of War 3. But, who knows. I definitely take it regardless if those games had trophies. Also, I'd love the Necklace. I'm curious to see what it would be? Would it be kratos or the Chains of Athena(or Chaos). Either Way Necklace, and the two games on Blu-ray would be a killer CE for God of War 3. Especially since the PS3 systems nowadays don't have PS2 BC. I rated 10 on that and necklace. The others are scattered around with numbers. PLEASE SONY, SMS, MAKE IT HAPPEN. :D

   by interdimention - 2009-04-27
 » to be or not to be? that is not the question...

beings that there are no trophies for any ps1 or ps2 game out there, its highly unlikely that if they release those two they will have trophies. They reserve trophies for ps3 games only because its the most uptodate technology and it would be to much of a headache to go back in and code in trophies for a ps2 game, if its even possible. Trophies are overrated at the moment anyways, you get nothing for them currently. When they release games like hannah montannah or however its spelled, and they include trophies i laugh my ass off, no matter what they include in crap games like that it still dont warrant a purchase, unless of course your like this one dude i know on psn that has over 2100 trophies, 100% hannah montannah trophies and everything. His profile claims he is the number one trophy hunter. Thats someone with way to much time on their hands.... can anyone say addicted?
