http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2009/08/god-of-war-1-and-2-come-ps3-updated-graphics-trophies-40.ars

Updated graphics with AA intergrated running on 720p @ 60 FPS! FUCK YEA SONY! <3333333

And it's for $40.00 for BOTH games. Have no problem spending 40 on two of the greatest games!

One more thing, PS3 Slim is $255.00 as a limited offer by some companies right now. Google it and find who's doing that.

God of War III Demo will be included in the package!

thats pretty sweet

God of War was one of my favorite games for the PS2.  Didn't really care for God of War 2, but this would be worth it for GoW1!

[ant900]

this is perfect for me.  I never bought the original, and I have been planning on playing the sequel before march comes along.

[Tatsujin]

The game is REMASTERED for the PS3, it's not an upscale or anything like that and you won't see any hard edges. That's very good because I want to play the game in HD. Now, Sony needs to bring other masterpieces like Shadow of the Colossus to the PS3.

Edit -- Some fact sheets with the graphic cards in the PS3 and 360 ... interesting enough to say the 360's graphic card is less powerful than the PS3:-


RSX Reality Synthesizer
GPU - 550MHz on 90nm process
300+ million Transistors
8 Render Output Units
Pixel Fill Rate - 4.4 gigapixel per second
Z Sample Rate - 8 gigasamples per second
Anti-aliasing sample rate - 8 gigasamples per second
Maximum Vertex Count - 1.6 billion vertices per second
Maximum Polygon Count - 886 Million
Maximum Shader Operations - 146 billion per second
Floating Point Operations per Second: 1.8 TFLOPs
Maximum texel fillrate: 12 GigaTexels per second
32 unfiltered texture samples per clock
Maximum Dot product operations: 54 billion per second

Xenos
GPU - 500MHz on 65nm process
337 million Transistors
8 Render Output Units
Pixel Fill Rate - 4 gigapixel per second
Z Sample Rate - 8 gigasamples per second
Anti-aliasing sample rate - 16 gigasamples per second
Maximum Vertex Count - 1.5 billion vertices per second
Maximum Polygon Count - 500 Million
Maximum Shader Operations - 48 Billion per second
Floating Point Operations per Second: 240 GFLOPS
Maximum texel fillrate: 8 gigatexel per second
16 unfiltered texture samples per clock
Maximum Dot product operations: 24 billion per second

Only area the Xenos beats the RSX is in Anti-aliasing. I don't know about the Transistors tho' since the RSX wasn't confirmed (or was it?). Everything else is either the same or the RSX beats Xenos with. Any other fact sheets out there for the graphic cards in those systems?

This has to be an DREAM!!!!!! I am going to wake up and this thread is not going to be here.....

Ok.   Want me to help you?   

PS3 is still butthurt - even with lower price.   So's the 360. 

Get a real PC.

But seriously - this does kick ass.   What doesn't kick ass, though, is that they're going to be charging full price for ancient games.  :|

That's dirty.

I don't care man lol, Sony's doing some good things. Now, they need to do more. Shadow of the Colossus please! >_< I didn't play many PS2 games. I'd love to get Xenosaga I and III on the PS3, too (I heard II sucked).

[fohfoh]

Is the Xenos the xbox proc?

I want to ask then. Since you compared the 90 nm to the 65, how does the current 65 compare to the xbox 360? What about the new 45nm coming out?

I want a PS3, but I barely game. My bro would essentially enjoy the whole thing while I just dish out cash. (Which he has already done on the 360)

I'd like to get Xenosaga period.

SotC -

Put some encounters in it, please.   I think PS3 can handle more than 13 enemies.  

The hell's up with that ... what's it supposed to be?  

Those shitty kids from Knowing need to fight off the 13 colossuses of Xenu or something?   What's up with that.

Have access to an Xbox 360.  Bought a few games for it.

All I've ever played -

Dynasty Warriors 6.  ( It sucked an asshole.  Waste of money. )
Dead Rising ( fun. )
GTA4 ( awesome. )
Assassin's Creed ( great, but ... it's ... meh, it's still great. )

Of the above - I've only finished Dead Rising and GTA4.

Haven't touched the 360 for months.   Don't think I'll ever buy another console again.  Haven't since PS1.

[XinWind]

Someone buy me a PS3 please =[.
Seriously if I could get a PS3 I would be a lot happier about this lol. I enjoyed all the God of War games and whats sad is my ps2 went to console heaven and same goes with the god of war disc's =[.

if you are saying that, then you are missing the whole point of SotC

I've beaten 2 so far. Is it worth playing through the whole thing? I just can't stand the graphics ... I'm cool with the slow framerate. But the graphics are SOO ... urgh!

Really?  I thought the game was one of the best looking for the ps2, Or at least one of the most artistic.  However if the graphics really irk you that much then I would say you shouldn't play it anymore.

Edit -- Some fact sheets with the graphic cards in the PS3 and 360 ... interesting enough to say the 360's graphic card is less powerful than the PS3:-

It is not about the size, it is about how you use it. If I remember correctly, Sony has bragged that their API is a needlessly complex abomination to programming. Really. "We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do."

Oh yea, I remember that. Considering that the PS1 and PS2 were difficult to develop for in the beginning, the PS3 had the same start. But now it's picking up fast.

I played the New GoW III a bit ago at a convention.  And I have to say, the Graphix are killer and the game play is intuitive and addictive.  After playing it for 30 min, I can tell you that it is Very well put together from what I have seen, and was a tough play.  Though i don't know what difficultly it was set on, or if there was one in the game to start with.

But it was fun, and i'll be picking it up on Launch day

Looks pretty sweet.

GoW2 wasn't that great (I FUCKING HATE CLIFFHANGER ENDINGS LIKE THAT)  but GoW1 was epic as hell.

Wouldn't mind replaying the first one.
