So you writing that crt makes the quality better is morronic because it only hides the flaws of the low res ps2.

Reading this thread makes me feel old, damn I miss the ZX81, and my binatone.

I remember the PS1 when it came out and the CD drives on the kept breaking, some shop guy said to me give them a break its there first console, and I said I would if it wasnt for the fact they invented the damned thing.

Anyway, wont hurt not to have them, wether you played them or not. I'll get them as I enjoyed them so much.

I never played god of war before so i bought it and man how epic this game is i cant describe but at the same time so fucking frustrating because of the difficulty and the ridiculous QTE, sometimes i have to retry a QTE for the 20th time because its so fucking hard, still its a very cool game. when playing it i'm just full of adrenaline trying not to die Razz

yeah the resolution is increased and it has anti aliasing. the framerate is also constant 60 fps. I barely played the original so I can't really compare them well, but I'd say it looks pretty good.

content wise there were no changes I think, just visual stuff.

oh and I can say that not all copies come with a gow3 demo code.
I ordered it several weeks ago and had no gow3 demo code. I was very disappointed Sad

Yeah, I believe that was a limited offer, so it doesn't exist anymore. I didn't realise this release was bypassing the EU (like Demon Souls et al). Sure I can import it but it's a bit of a pain.

I believe in some video they said the ps2 version was targeted at 60 frames but the framerate dropped at some points, while in the god of war collections it's always at 60.

yup.

but I can also recommend this shop, earlier posted ba acron_
http://www.axelmusic.com/productDetails/711719822929
it's just 30€ which is a very good price for a US title and they ship from the UK so no customs if you're in the EU.

I ordered it there and got it relatively quickly, but as I said earlier it was missing a GoW3 demo code.

I just completed God of War 2, what a game, its longer than the first one (about 11 hours i think) and the end is really cool Smile
I found the extra weapons like the barbarian hammer and the spear a bit weak, altough i had to max the spear and be creative at the last bit with the giant monster where you can control time (just before that part). it was awesome when i completed all the waves of enemy's without dying after my 15th try Razz

Also magic is very weak, the magic in GOW1 was a lot better. A tip for anyone who still has to play GOW2, just max out Atlas Quake. Its the best mob control ever and when you are in a tight spot that magic spell will save your ass, i think upgrading the other magic spells is a waste.

I had a feeling GOW 2 is still easy-er then part 1, when i completed part 1 i had a feeling of wow i completed it and it also said you conquered God of War at the end of the game like it was a real achivement.

I am gonna give the E3 demo a try and then the wait begins for God of War 3 Sad

Omg, i just played the E3 demo, i dont want to hype things up but they are going all out with this one. they put it a notch up. haha Very Happy now i cant wait anymore

BTW the graphics look beaituful i had to get used to it because GOW collection is 60 frames and GOW 3 certainly isnt but you forget that soon once you play this awesome demo!!
oh and yes the trailer we all seen is ingame i can confirm that know Cool

you only get it with a code that comes with a limited number of copies of the god of war collection, and I think it also comes with some district 9 blurays or something.

it's not freely available.

That second to last battle in god of war 1 (kratos vs shit load of kratoses) is fucking bullshit on hard mode. I had to turn off the game after dying for 20th time because I was on a verge of throwing my controller. Up to that point I had no problems and rarely died in combat (and definitely defeating everything the second time around), but that battle is just bs. I have full health/mana/rage and I still cant fucking do it. Do not think i'll try it again unless there is some cheap ass trick to beating it. FUck that battle.


Sig too big. -Nothing is too big for Fedor. Expect a nasty armbar.
