Definitely not a day one purchase for me as the gameplay and story was the most important parts of the first two games for me. Still, it was one of the games that I was adamant to have BC with when I bought my PS3.
I almost bought a PSP for the portable GOW game alone. If they included the PSP version, I am definitely in at launch since I haven't play it yet.
Someone call Sony....patsu?
IGN: And then the other game is Chains of Olympus, which was fantastic on the PSP. Was there ever any thought about including that on this disc in some fashion?
John Hight: No, that won't be part of this disc. The goal for this was really, "Let's bring this experience up to the PS3". We have all of the original assets, the assets were done at a level that was… You know, a lot of people claimed, "Wow, you know, God of War II looks like it's PS3…" Well a lot of that has to do with the fact that we built this thing with higher-res assets. And even God of War 1, this stuff holds up because we work at a level higher than our target platform, so we can go back and pretty easily move this stuff up, so... It's a little different case with the PSP.
Sorry for the late reply. I've been in class all day.
I was hoping for the definitive collection of ALL the GOW games. I can see where it would be hard to put it on the PS3, but I would definitely pick it up even if it isn't optimized.
GOW is hands down my favorite series for the PS2. I've never played the PSP version and I was curious on how it expands the storyline.
sorry for the dig patsu...I was just having a little fun...hope you didn't take offense.
Early screens of GoW 3 didn't look that good but the latest batch has definitely shown graphical improvement and im very happy for that.GoW3 is going to be a kickass game and I can't wait to play it.Heck, 2010 for multi-platform owners is going to be incredible with Halo Reach, God of War 3, Last Guardian, Splinter Cell Conviction, etc......
Three months of coding to port to a platform that is orders of magnitude more powerful in every aspect except one that can be easily worked/designed around seems about right...
