Upscaled HD resolution, 60 fps, compilation of Kratos' adventures thus far heading to the PS3...

Bank holidays are broken by no man, not even the God of War.  Yes, this announcement is a day late, but the idea of a God of War collection is so good we thought we'd bring it to you anyway.

The God of War Collection bundles enhanced versions of God of War and God of War 2 on a single Blu-ray disc, running at 1280x720, 60 frames per second and featuring full screen anti-aliasing.  In addition, the disc also supports PS3 Trophies, giving a reason to play through them all again even if you owned them on the PS2.

"We are excited today to announce God of War Collection," said Scott Rohde, vice president, Worldwide Studios America.  "Our fans spoke and we listened; thanks to our partnership with Bluepoint Games, fans and newcomers to the series can experience the epic God of War and God of War II saga in stunning 720p on PS3.  This Blu-ray Disc compilation brings Kratos to PS3 even earlier than expected."

What better way to while away the time until God of War III arrives in March 2010?

Most of what you say is true... However...

Halo 3 actually run under 720p - I believe its output render was 1152 x 640 - only Bungie can get away with inventing its own '640p' HD profile :)

One of the few games that actually supports native 1080p to my immediate knowledge is Virtua Tennis 3, like you said, most upscale the image to your TV's native setting.

But like you say - you do need a big screen to appreciate 1080p - either that or sit a few inches away from the screen, in which case you'll probably end up with impaired vision and can't actually see the whole thing because you're sitting too close!

To "Anonymous"...


You seem to have no clue what your talking about..

 

The games were originally 480i, so this is a huge improvement.. And 720p looks awesome, the only way to see a difference between that and 1080p is to have almost a 60 inch tv..

 

And as a supporter of the 360, I am not a sony fanboy. I only JUST bought the ps3 slim, but 360 games do NOT run in 1080p, they are upscaled or stretched to that. In fact, just about all 360 games run at 720p... Like the gears of war series, bioshock etc... Supposedly halo 3 actually runs at native 1080p, but that doesn't matter, because it has inferior graphics to begin with.. 

Mgs 4 runs at native 1080p. But it doesn't really matter, 720p looks so good, that it's not even noticable. And people who complain about it don't know their A**es from their elbows...

These two games will look GREAT running in 720p at 60 frames per second. I didn't really play them when they came out. So I will get my chance to, and I will see them how they should be seen, in HD, thats right, 720p is a high def resolution...

Stunning 720p? Sony do realize that full HD is 1080p, right? They use blu-rays as their game disks, then go and only use 720p. I thought the whole hype about PS3 having blu ray was that they could put full 1080p uncompressed on to the disk because they can store so much more than a DVD.

At least a 360 can utilize 1080p, even if it's only a DVD.
