First batch of Playstation 3 “Essential Collection” games revealed
An online retailer has revealed the first batch of Playstation 3 games that Sony Computer Entertainment will be re-releasing under the “Essential Collection” brand.
(God of War 3, Heavy Rain , PS3)
I would imagine that these games would also be available for download at some point. Its a great list, and its great to see Resistance 1, Resistance 2 and Heavenly Sword on there.
@-MD- Oh hell no! God of War is way better than Heavenly sword! The first heavenly sword was mediocre. No jump button really??? God of War is the best hack and slash game out there.
Don't worry. You buy them now. Then you buy them again for the PS4. Then you buy them again for the PSVita 2. Then you buy them again for the PS5. Then you buy them again for the PSVita 3. Then you buy them again for the PS6...
I hate open world. You waste so much time just running around looking for crap. Just get me to the next thing I have to do. I don't have enough time in the day as it is to be wasting it on running around and doing nothing.
It's definitely not a corridor type of game, although it does heavily emphasize on story-telling as all the other God of War games have. It does however have a bit of freedom to roam around - such as when you're solving large puzzles that need you to collect something from one part of the level back to the other, etc.
@T3MPL3TON That's why I said "But that's about it though." God of War 3 is far from a sandbox game due to its nature.
I was trying to contrast it with other games out there far more linear and restricting than God of War 3 (games which are on rails, for example or games which once you go forward, you can't go back, even in the same stage).
Now I'm just guessing here, but I'm assuming that every one of these "essential games" will include trophies, therefore games that did not originally have them will not be re-released for that one reason, as its been said that MSG4 will never get trophies.
Nope I will put money on it. They won't give Restance trophy support. When they re released Oblivion like a year ago, for an annversery, the box said trophies and it still didn't have any. I don't think old PS3 games will ever be patched to include trophies.
Chances are probably not. When the reveal for the next Ratchet and Clank game was announced (Ratchet and Clank Full Frontal Assault) someone asked why Tools of Destruction never got trophies and the response Insomniac gave was the game was made before PlayStation Network came into fruition therefore the game wouldn't even recognize PSN therefore making trophies impossible for the game.
I was gonna say that but thinking about it, people who are just jumping onto the playstation brand won't be able to just start playing 4 without playing the other 3 first
Are you kidding, or just trolling? InFAMOUS is one of the best super hero video games that's out there, along with it's sequel, InFAMOUS 2 and the Batman: Arkham series.
I don't consider heavenly sword or god of war to be better than each other, they have a lot in common and should be played equally. I really hope for an HS sequel, or prequel (if you played the game you can understand why)
It's like dante's inferno, it doesn't have to be better than god of war just has to be good. Which it is.
I dont se how they can be equal in quality if they share so much but one got mediocre gameplay , input lag and inconsistant framerate (Heavenly sword) .
HS' saving grace was the neat design , the graphics and of course it's excellent plot and universe .
It was still a good game of course , and one NT could have improved upon easily , instead of redoing the same mess and worse with their newer titles
What is this crap? Mag? Are they serious? But no, MGS4, Heavy Rain, Ratchet and Clank, Gran Turismo or LBP. Those were just off the top of my head. Sounds like some made up crap to me.

Why choose when you ask for both? what about somethiing like this:
GOW: Home Console
HS: Portable
That would be Great!
>.<
Edit:
I'd like to see a Heavenly Sword sequel.
Then you buy them again for the PS4.
Then you buy them again for the PSVita 2.
Then you buy them again for the PS5.
Then you buy them again for the PSVita 3.
Then you buy them again for the PS6...
and goes on ... and on ... and on ... and on ....
But that's about it though.
Every LINEAR game has environments you can 'explore' that doesn't mean it's an open game.

Could be wrong, but that's my theory.
- inFAMOUS essencials ver. costs 20€
- inFAMOUS 2 platinium cost 30€
