Woah, hang on there - what "false promises" has Sony made? They're re-releasing the first two games in the series (originally PS2 games) on PS3, with updated graphics (720p and 60fps), and Trophy support to boot, all for 40USD in time for the holidays, and as a stop-gap until GoW III comes out in Spring 2010 - if you've never played the first two games (like me), and considering the value of both original games used is around 30-35USD, it's a great value just for that, let alone the HD graphics, and Trophy support. Hell, even if I had played the first two, I probably would buy this anyways, just for the HD and Trophies (I'm imagining they're going to do it like Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection on PS3 where it's actually a PSP game (!) that they ported, adding in HD textures and upping the poly count a bit on the models.

Joyrex Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 fuck you bubba, the god of war series is awesome, look at this sliding guy demonstrating a new move in GOW3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlR83A_SC5Q Wicked + good move from sony! + shame on Joyrex for never checking out the first two. I know... I've seen enough videos of them to know they're good games though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally disagree there - I think Achievements/Trophies are the best thing to happen to games in a long time - they are neat little sidequests you can do to further your enjoyment of the game, plus they are nice when you do them unexpectedly and the game acknowledges you for doing something well or odd (or not so well in some cases).

Guest beatfanatic Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I will be picking this up. love the first one and the second one was even better. God of War and Uncharted are two of my favorite games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIRTY i tells ya .. the whole thing has been subverted to appeal to the lowest common denominator .. Yes, I agree with you there - getting a Bronze trophy for completing a level you'd normally do anyways is silly, but some Achievements/Trophies are pretty fun to try and attain... Just bought and finished Uncharted: Drake's Fortune for PS3 (fucking great game, BTW, highly recommended, especially that the price has dropped in lieu of the impending sequel), and after (and during) playing the game, we started working on the Trophies - before, it was "Oh well, beat another game, throw that fucker on the shelf"...

DIRTY i tells ya .. the whole thing has been subverted to appeal to the lowest common denominator .. My post had a sarcastic undertone. I think the idea of a "gamerscore" is silly. It's whoever buys and plays the most video games has the "best" score. It's almost in direct relation to how much of a loser you are. Although I like the achievements/trophies but see them as misused. Instead of giving you "gamer points" they should unlock things in your game.
