Originally mastered by SCE Santa Monica Studios and then later refurbished for PS3 adding titles and porting in high-definition by Bluepoint Studios, the first two editions of God of War series were each released last year on a Blu-ray disc. Now, according to the official PlayStation blog, both of the titles are ready to be ported together as God of War: Collection early this November on PSN.
Allowing users to experience Kratos’ quest in full 720p HD, the new collection edition bundles both of the God of War titles revamped for PS3 with anti-aliased graphics running at 60 fps providing a steady gameplay. This fresh compilation is the first one in its franchise to bring support for PSN Trophy to its fantastical titles. While the God of War: Collection does not include the bonuses featured along with the original discs, PS Plus subscribers will be offered to download full-game trials for both the games. They will also be rewarded with free God of War III themed skins along with the same.
The collection originally retailed for 40 USD (approx. Rs. 1781) before its price was stripped of 10 USD (approx. Rs. 445) slashing it down to 30 USD (approx. Rs. 1336). The re-mastered games are reported to be available across Europe, each for 17.99 Euros (approx. Rs. 1118) and 29.99 Euros (approx. Rs. 1865). Digital versions of God of War: Collection and the new PSP title of the series, God of War: Ghost of Sparta will be purchasable from the PlayStation Network on November 2, 2010.
