As cynical an idea as 'remastering' old PS2 games sounds, the God of War Collection demonstrates how magnificent the net result can look in the hands of the right developer. Far from being mere exercises in nostalgia, these hugely entertaining HD versions underline exactly why we all got so excited about them in the first place, and suggests that while God of War III faces off against a lot of big names in 2010, the greatest threats to its dominance lie in its own past. Best of all, PS3 games are region-free, so there's no excuse for not importing this immediately. Simply divine.
Kratos has been on a rampage, killing Gods in epic battles since 2005. With each release managing to offer high-octane action, I explore each God of War title and rank every adventure from his journey to Olympus to his Norse tales of fatherhood.
I won’t rank Ragnarok just yet, although it is honestly leaving me and my wife blown away…won’t go into details right now, not done as I assume others aren’t either, maybe some of you are, idk haha.
But here’s how I rank them
5. God of War 3
4. God of War Ascension.
3. God of War 1.
2. God of War 2.
1. God of War 2018.
1. God of war 3
2. God of war 2018
3. God of war 2
4. God of war 1
Haven't played the others but about 30 hrs In to ragnarock now so safe to say if it keeps up it will end up being at the top of my list when I'm done.
I will say the pacing of the original titles and the epic feel to them I feel is way better than the new one’s. Like, I could recognize and appreciate the praise God of War received, but it bores me to tears except for the pivotal moments.
However, that being said I feel Ragnarok is waaaaay better than 2018. I’m only on Ch. 6, but it’s pretty much rocked my face off from the get-go.
I’m really split between this being my GotY or Elden Ring.
I think different games in the series had different strengths but all are great. I liked the original as it was an origin story and the mechanics were fresh. The sequel added smoother gameplay. Three was just so far ahead of it's time graphically it wasn't even funny. Plus great gameplay and bosses and insane gore and nice use of sexy time. The reboot was cool but lost a lot of what I liked about the original trilogy (I don't need my games grown up, just fun). Will wait and see with ragnarok as haven't had time to play it yet.
Daily Video Game writes: "GameStop has just kicked off a new pre-owned game sale with a massive list of games that offers four pre-owned ($9.99 or less) games for $20 across multiple gaming platforms, including PS3 and Xbox 360 right now for a limited time!"
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "As the Vita provides a brilliant portable legacy experience for Sony’s other two home consoles (PS1 and PS2), I decided to focus this article on the next in line – the PlayStation 3. Unlike its predecessors, the PS3 far outpaces Vita in terms of power, on top of being built on an extremely unique architecture which meant porting between the two wasn’t as straightforward as it could have been. Still, thanks to engine compatibility and some brilliant efforts from developers, the two consoles shared numerous pieces of software and, where this wasn’t possible, others sought to provide bespoke experiences instead. Altogether this means that the Vita does a pretty good job at providing a portable PS3 experience."
“Sony may have advertised Vita as ‘console quality on the go’, which irritated many buyers due to games with reduced framerates and graphical elements being released“
Why would some people complain about that then but praise the Switch now for doing the same thing?
“The PS3 might not be remembered as Sony’s finest hour in gaming”
I and many others see PS3 as Sony’s best console
I heard comment that the unused port on Vita was originally planned for Vita TV function.
But Sony decided to take it out and release a separated failed Vita TV...
Aww... Vita could have been the Switch, but Sony got greedy and worried Vita will capitalize on PS4 market...
This is great. I completely spaced on this yesterday and ordered Uncharted 2 off of Amazon. Oh well, I'll get this sooner or later. Anyways this is a bit off topic but I was watching a video about R.U.S.E. on youtube and the commentator said that they were pushing more than a billion polygons on screen. And I'm wondering if they're talking about the consoles or PC, because from my understanding, I don't think consoles can push more than 500 million on screen at any given time.
Here's the link to the video

At the 2 minutes, 28 second mark, the narrator says what I'm referring to.
I came in here thinking the typical 7...
Eurogamer God of War 3 review = 7/10. For reasons pulled out of their ass. :D Maybe it will be too much of the same? No Co-Op? Too much variety(lol gamespot)? Pick your weak excuse, Eurogamer!
This remastered game puts many 360 exclusives to shame.
awesome for 39.99$
