As a fan of God of War series, I would love to play these two best PSP games on my PS3. I am sure everyone else does too.

I_find_it_funny4747d ago (Edited 4747d ago )

Hell yea! I dont have PSP

/edit yea I guess, I'll wait for the psp2 announcement and info if it's b/c, if not I'll get Psp for cheap

Zydake4747d ago

you should get it at least quick before the psp2 comes out because you missed out on some great games like MGS and GoW

RankFTW4747d ago

I have these both on PSP and they are great games, would welcome a chance to play them on my PS3 with trophies.

MisterAV4747d ago

they're good but not as good. GoW 1,2,3 are much better. Few puzzles, shorter, small environment,...
Buying a psp just for those two is...

Nitrowolf24747d ago (Edited 4747d ago )

This July? IDk that just sounds way to soon of a release if you ask me. If this was true then wouldn't you expect a release further down?

if this is true then are we expecting it to be in HD but look the same or a full remake with GOW3 graphics and such?

Dragun6194747d ago

I think this would be more plausible if it was for NGP considering it would be a great launch title. Not sure about a PS3 port though but that be nice especially if it has trophies.

BattleAxe4747d ago

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

I loved Cains of Olympus, but I have yet to play Ghost of Sparta, so this would be perfect.

HolyOrangeCows4747d ago (Edited 4747d ago )

I hope it's updated with GOW console controls.

"I loved Cains of Olympus, but I have yet to play Ghost of Sparta, so this would be perfect"
Same.

I already played both on the PSP. Ghost Of Sparta with Kratos Brother was especially good.

macky3014747d ago (Edited 4747d ago )

I am sold day1 ,.. though I doubt they have saved so much of high resolution data and assets(textures,models) as they had with gow1,2,.. but who knows,,.. damn GOW1,2 collection games look so incredible,..(they make fmv cut-scenes look like shit,.. that is how good GOW1 and2 look on PS3)

I would probably buy them both regardless,..

Redempteur4747d ago

well if tey have the asset they can rework the textures and remake the cutscènes for 1080p .
this will be very nice , the psp stick really diminished my enjoyment of chain of olympus ...

Blaze9294747d ago

Chains of Olympus was nothing special to be honest. I never finished Ghost of Sparta though

miyamoto4746d ago

this is awesome! more HD collections from PS, PS2, PSP, Sega Dreamcast, etc. please

TardcoreGamer4746d ago

heres hoping this rumor proves to be true, man!! Don't have a psp and I'm sure many people who otherwise aren't the portable type of gamer(me included) will be absolutely stoked to here this news. Next I hope for MGS:PW PS3 hd port...

flankhim4746d ago

We also need socom hd really bad!

showtimefolks4746d ago

but sony sees the potential for some psp games and i would not be surprised if more psp AAA games came out on ps3.

resistance retribution
mgs:peace walker(ps and also the other mgs game)

but i will get this GOW collection for sure.

any new on whether this is psn only or disk based too?

hopefully kojima will announce something about mgs:pw on ps3 and sony announce that all 4 games from ps2 jak series in hd 3 games story wise 4th being the combat racing)

PirateThom4747d ago

If that's true, I would enjoy it because I love the series but, for some reason, never played the Portable Games.

NukaCola4747d ago

Chains of Olympus was great, but short. I haven't played Ghost of Sparta yet. I would scoop this up if it came to PSN.

RankFTW4747d ago

Ghost of Sparta is 10x better than Chains of Olympus, so yeah it's awesome heh.

InLaLaLand4746d ago

Story wise Ghost of Sparta is better, I was addicted to Chains of Olympus more than Ghost of Sparta. Chains of Olympus is shorter than Ghost of Sparta.

graciousd4747d ago

You should man. Both GoW:CoO and GoW:GoS have great story telling and gameplay.

DigitalAnalog4746d ago

It's just as short as the CoH, but man, the set pieces are quite unbelievable for a PSP title.

-End statement

Omar1st4747d ago

Ive played GOW : Chains of Olympus, did buy Ghost of Sparta too but havent got around to playing it yet. As a fan of the series, Id also love to see these come to PS3...

Raven_Nomad4747d ago

If this is true, I think no PS3 fanboy can ever call another series milked ever again.

RankFTW4747d ago

They can milk God of War forever in my eyes.

cyclonus0074747d ago

It's not the number of games that milks a series, it's the time between them. Three Guitar Heros in one year is milking a series. A CoD and Halo every year is milking a series. As much as I hate to say it, even Assassins Creed is being milked.

godslayer4294746d ago

i hope you choke on a ball of misery and anguish

morganfell4746d ago

Since when is porting the same game to another platform milking? You fail to grasp the definition or the intricate implications of the term "milking".

And by deduction, you would allow non-PS3 fans to term other series milked as if there is some sort of superiority allotted to those that have never had games ported to their favored platform.

Ridiculous.

How does not being a part of something allot you the sole right to label? By the same bent logic only peaceniks know about war and only virgins know what makes a partner good in bed.

Fez4746d ago (Edited 4746d ago )

It's a great thing for gamers... cos I haven't played these games, or the splinter cell trilogy, so for me they're great. But... they are definitely milking the franchises..as in getting as much money out of them for the least amount of effort.

Smart business.

Killzone3___4746d ago (Edited 4746d ago )

no , milking means making the same game with only few things changed .. assassin creed is not milking because it have alots of improvment , but cod - halo are milked..

i would say god of war milked if it didn't have new things , if you played it you will understand , the gameplay doesn't have alots of new things but the story is amazing !! the game is soooo brutel , big , hard and hard , but not hard for me :P ..

phoenixdown4747d ago (Edited 4747d ago )

i have every god of war game except the cell phone one lol.

@raven: stop crying.

edit @ raven: i like gears,halo, and call of duty and i think i would consider myself a ps3 FAN not fanboy. i have a 360 also but prefer my ps3.

Raven_Nomad4747d ago

"Stop crying" got it! I am going to use that line when all the PS3 fanboys complain about COD and talk about how milked Gears and Halo is....

Thanks for the tip!

MisterAV4747d ago

COD is for both console, gears is not milked but halo is a bit milked, many games and spinoff on only two consoles...

InLaLaLand4746d ago

I don't think Gears is milked. The game that is milked is Mario, Street Fighter and maybe Yakuza/Ryu ga Gotoku.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga1d ago (Edited 1d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow1d 18h ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo18223h ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie13h ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

RNTody1d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno1d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno22h ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii9h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno8h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
