(PS3) God of War Collection

[Andy Jones]

Any body else seen the footage of this HD remake? Tis looking rather cool and having started both games on PS2 but not finishing them i've decided to give this a whirl. Ordered from the US as it doesn't look like Sony plan on releasing it over here this year, Bizzare. Released the same day as COD 6. Managed to get it for £32 delivered so just hoping it gets through customs without having any fees slapped on it.

[H3RB]

yeah ill be getting it, main reason is the trophies tho lol.
a shop near me gets imports so should be getting it from there looks good

[mikee66]

Hi Mike, E-bay seller was called "3busymen" he has the stand-alone version of Demon Souls which i'm tempted to order too but I think i'll be busy trying to Platinum Uncharted 2 before GOW arrives

Edit: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0356698787 There ya go, Release date put back a week i've just noticed There was rumours they we're going to region lock this title as to not damage EU sales next year but according to the Sony forums they've decided not too so it's all gravy.

[Andy Jones]

main reason is the trophies tho lol.

There is that too can't imagine it being that easy, Guessing we'll have to finish both games on "God" setting to get a Platinum.

[H3RB]

yeah i was thinking that too, but god of war on hard was hard enough

[mikee66]

Cheers!!!

yeah i was thinking that too, but god of war on hard was hard enough

From memory i think i threw in the towel at the 3rd boss but i might be wrong

[H3RB]

Got god of war on the PSP and it was an amazing game. Completed it in Easy but on hard i can only get about 75% through it and gave it up as a bad job.

Going through the PSP version at the mo, One of the reasons i ain't finished Uncharted 2 yet.

[Andy Jones]

Contains 71 Trophies and 2 Platinums and it doesn't look like they will be that difficult either (and you don't have to finish either game on God)

[H3RB]

yeah saw these last night, quite strange how there are 2 platinums tho lol i would have thought they were gonna just do both games as one trophy set

[Andy Jones]

Looks like they're being a bit generous and not milking it too much due to the fact it's a flashy remake and it's not a full price title

Need Naughty Dog to do the same with the original Crash Bandicoot 1-3 and Jak and Daxter 1-3

Team Ico have already said they're looking into doing the same with Ico and Shadow of the Colossus.

[H3RB]

metal gear 1 2 and 3 with trophies would be awesome!
but so would ico that game was amazing
