God Of War Pack Crashes This Year's Holiday Party?

If this is true, it's huge news for PS3 owners and action fans: it seems a Sony Manager in Mexico has said a special God of War pack (featuring GoW, GoWII, and a demo for GoWIII) will drop in December!

um ok.

"this package will consist of both God of War and God of War II, plus a playable demo of God of War III."

Oh ok, this is taking about GOW 1 and 2 coming, not GOW3.

Nitrowolf25389d ago (Edited 5389d ago )

um choas?
why did you say its not talking about GOW3 when it says includes a demo of GOW3 in your post?

Ok now i am confuse, if there is a package coming and the demo included why have it bundled with GOW1 and 2? its a smart thing to do but what about those people who have no B/C? i will get this if its true

"its a smart thing to do but what about those people who have no B/C? i will get this if its true "

Maybe the rumored BC emulator will arrive this December? ;)

LordMarius5389d ago

Sony rumors just wont stop
now its BC that will lead into TGS

Nitrowolf25389d ago

nvm i think its one Blu-ray disc, that is fn sweet

Sitdown5389d ago

with an upgrade in graphics might tempt me to purchase them again......MIGHT.

deadreckoning6665389d ago (Edited 5389d ago )

WOW. It makes sense too, there are plenty off people out there that haven't played 1 or 2.

sonarus5389d ago

Unless its playable on ALL ps3's then this imo is quite unlikely.

gambare5389d ago

Sony should release both titles on the PSN

Dragun6195389d ago (Edited 5389d ago )

Oh Sheit!, Sony's on a Roll!

E3 09 - PS3 Motion controls, PSP Go!
GC 09 - PS3 Slim
TGS 09 - PS3 Firmware update! (Hopefully Supporting BC)

ABizzel15389d ago

I wish it to be true, but this smells a like fishy.

Many of the PS3's lost BC so you can't play PS2 games on them, but if they're Blu Ray disc or optimized for the PS3 I guess you could.

If it does happen it's a great idea, and hopefully it will.

FamilyGuy5389d ago

This is EXACTLY what was said to be possible in the specail edition version of GOW3. They were talking about it at E3, that they COULD put the two previous GOW games on a blu-ray disc (or all three) and they would be playable on ALL ps3s.

This sounds great.

terrandragon5388d ago

I think I remember hearing that they don't have enough people to work on God of War 1 and 2 on Blu-ray. Would be a great announcement, though. Already picked up both and they still are some of the best games!

Viatrophy5388d ago

Hopefully it does happen and that it isn't just a rumour.

I'm still yet to try any God of War games (sinner, I know) and as the Playstation 3 I have isn't backwards compatible, this would be perfect me for (and other people in my situation).

The God of War III demo would just be a bonus.

Nitrowolf25389d ago

"MarkPlayStation's Twitter page; this guy is supposedly a manager for Sony Mexico"

i find that hard to believe.
and yet i hope this is true

remanutd555389d ago

sonyyyyyyyyy i seriously need my GOD OF WARRRRRRR 3 DEMO this year make it happen lol

MiloGarret5389d ago

Yeah, I just want the demo, don't care about I&II... I'll pay for it, seriously I will.

LordMarius5389d ago

I will totally buy this since I lost my other two games but I will pay $40 tops

Both requels over 2 and 3? Clowns. Those are two of the most boring games I've ever played.

Snookies12196d ago

GoW 3 was amazing, but I personally hated just one thing. (This is on me alone, because I was dumb, lol.) I hated that you couldn't skip cutscenes on repeat playthroughs. I had to go back through the game a third time because I missed one trophy accidentally on my way to the platinum... The cutscenes were great the first go round, even the second... But the third was pretty agonizing.

Haven't played Ragnarok, but I still think GoW 4 is a wonderful game in its own right. Not sure how I would stack them up against each other honestly.

Monstieur196d ago (Edited 196d ago )

I don't consider the reboot part of the original series. The original series were high-skill games with combos and rewards for mixing things up.

solideagle196d ago

lol square, square and triangle is the only combo you needed. I have played all of them on the hardest difficulties...

Golfcoachh196d ago

Maybe I’m just old school but I just couldn’t get into the last two. Maybe it’s the slower action and more story telling but the original trilogy was by far my favorite.

Crows90196d ago

It's not that youre old school. They're different genres

JL2930195d ago (Edited 195d ago )

Me either, at all. It's just yap yap yap. They try to be a RPG's instead of being action games like they used to be.

Fluke_Skywalker196d ago

I'd put the two psp games over 3 in terms of story any day. But not over 2.

TheEnigma313196d ago (Edited 196d ago )

My favorite was part 2 and I think Ragnarok is better that 2018.

Shane Kim196d ago

The newer games are better imo.

ravens52196d ago

There is no worst. Except for Ascension, only cause I didn't play it lol. They are all masterpieces. 1,2,3, 2018 and Ragnarok. 1 of, if not the greatest video game franchise...besides MetalGear.

Snookies12196d ago

Oh wow, I actually forgot that Ascension even existed... I never played it either.

Crows90196d ago

I like ascension. It was different and some interesting combat additions.

darthv72196d ago

If you didnt play it, how could you call it the worst? Its not as bad as the media portrayed it. Honestly the worst are those flash games. they arent even considered true GoW games but in name only. At least Ascension is a real GoW game.

ravens52196d ago

Not saying it's a terrible game. Just mean it's at the bottom of my list. I played a little bit of it. Jus to me, compared to the other main games, it's last.

Fluke_Skywalker196d ago

Ascension is the only GOW game I never finished. Hated it.

Inverno196d ago

Can't agree, older games do so much more than the last two. More weapons, magic abilities, enemies are more varied, level design is also more aesthetically pleasing, and agree with those who say that they shouldn't have removed jumping. Was a time I'd agree, but those old games are so so much better, that they really should've looked into bringing into the reboot/sequels.

Crows90196d ago (Edited 196d ago )

If a game is good then a game is good. Doesn't matter what came before or what comes after.

Inverno196d ago

Of course it matters. If not for what what came before there wouldn't be an after. And if something is great before then you strive to make it just as good if not better, after. I personally don't think there's a fair way to judge the new with the old because the newer games are still essentially a reboot, and went a way different direction. But I still believe the old games did it better. I'm probably bias though since I've been going back to old games and have been finding that they lack all the annoying aspects that devs have shoehorned into new games to fluff out game time.

Crows90195d ago

@Inverno

Im not talking about the passage of time here. Im talking about individual pieces of software. If a game is good then it is good. Thats not a controversial statement. You can compare good with good...sure. But you still end up with good. Now if there is a bad game in the mix and you compare you do end up with some differentials between them...makes sense to compare and see where it went wrong.

But theyre different genres and styles which were individually executed very well.

And no. The new games are not a reboot. Theyre a new direction but simply a continuation.
Tomb raider was a reboot.

Inverno195d ago

The new games are definitely a reboot, and a continuation, it can be both which it is. And a good game might be good, but my point is that if there are things done better before it then there's plenty of room for critiquing and trying to make whatever comes after better rather than just good.

It's so disappointing that to this day, I have not seen a game match what BLACK offers in an FPS.

ApocalypseShadow226d ago

Shame isn't it. I thought we'd be at a point of destructible backgrounds, objects, pyrotechnics etc in shooters. I sold many a copy in the demo unit when I managed a franchise Game Crazy back then. But I stopped playing shooters because they didn't evolve. Heavy weapon. Shoot a wall or glass. Nothing happens. Lol. Except for Killzone 2. I enjoyed that.

But then I woke and remembered it's EA. EA didn't care really. They just wanted to kill competition from Criterion and Burnout. And own Renderware to profit from as many developers used that engine. Only thing was that developers ran as fast as they could away from EA to Unreal Engine and its pop in and Vaseline graphics. Shame on EA. And then they bought Dice for Frostbite. Evil busters.

Anyway, too many PS2 games to count. Some of my personal faves being DMC, Genji, Bujingai, Blood Will Tell, Onimusha, Way of the Samurai, Japanese Berserk, Japanese Macross game that blew away the US Robotech game, RAD, Castlevania Lament of Innocence.... there's just too many. Let me stop. Lol

Cacabunga226d ago

Code Veronica
Dead or Alive 2 Hardcore
The Getaway
Time Crisis 3
Killzone
Mark of Kri
SSX

are some of my all times favorites missing on that list

shinoff2183225d ago

I've always Saud I'm not a fan of fps much , there's been some I really like and thought were really dope. Black falls into that category.

CoNn3rB226d ago

I would love nothing more than a remaster of the Jak series, including Jak X

Flawlessmic226d ago (Edited 226d ago )

The greatest console of all time !!!!

The last console from when gaming was pure, games didn't take 5 years to release, no online only, no half finished games, no mtx.

Ps2 was just banger after banger after banger.

It will always be my favourite.

sagapo226d ago

No Timesplitters in the list??

FinalFantasyFanatic225d ago

This is a really good list, pretty happy with the choices here.

MadLad541d ago

I don't know about 20, but I know Dragon Quest VIII, FFXII, and Persona 3 are my top 3.

No particular order. Not a huge JRPG guy, but these hit it home for me.

Flawlessmic541d ago

Fairly solid list, would only change a few, I'd put onimusha in there, ico, personally would have vice city.

Then again I'd double up on some series dmc 1, all 3 gtas, both metal gears, all 3 jaks.

Ps2 was just crazily stacked really, every time I think back on it, those were the good days of gaming.

sagapo541d ago

Was thinking the same about Vice City. But yeah, solid list and great era of games!

shinoff2183540d ago

I still think ps1 was better game wise, but im sure thats an age thing depends on what you grew up with to an extent. I feel san andreas is to this day the best gta made. None compare 5 is close imo but just doesnt best it
