Why HD Collections Are Great

There are times when there is just way too many games to play. With the complete lack of time available to do anything in life, you won't ever get to play every game that you want. This is true for both old and new games that are released or have been around for a very long time. Even though most gamers out there will make the effort to go back and find copies of games they have missed out on before, many more just don't have the time or the will to search for older games they skipped over. Enter the HD Collection. A little something that many take for granted. It brings not only some great value in one package but also enhances the original experience for everyone who missed out and anyone who wants to jump back in for another go.

Ok, how are some of those HD collections? God Of War I can see and some of the others, but not all over them are HD. They came to PS3.

Abash4197d ago

Killzone Trilogy has been a great buy so far, really enjoying Killzone HD and I will be doing new playthroughs of Killzone 2 and Killzone 3 and spending a LOT of time in Killzone 3's multiplayer since I have all the DLC now

Godmars2904197d ago

And I just see cheap cash-ins that cover for a lack of being able to develop titles. Anything beyond a FPS anyway.

Though I do like the idea of being able to play some of the Ratchet and Clank titles.

from the beach4197d ago

Heh, I think your post sums up how a lot of people probably feel - these are cheap cash-ins ... but I kinda want to get that one ... and that one ...

StockpileTom4197d ago

After the closure of Zipper it looks like an HD Collection may be the only hope of seeing a good SOCOM game again...

InklingGirl4197d ago

As a gamer for over almost thirty years it's sad that I'm more excited for HD remakes than most of the "new" titles coming out.

karlowma4197d ago

I play my SNES far more than my X360 and PS3 combined.

HD is over-rated. Lol.

InklingGirl4197d ago

I hear that mate, the game I was really excited about this year were the remakes of Doom 3, KillZone and Nights into Dreams. Nothing new or excited anymore though I cannot wait for Sly 4.

Soldierone4197d ago

Yeah kinda sad I was more excited to buy a game that came out 20 years ago more than anything this Fall lol

taquito4197d ago (Edited 4197d ago )

they are great if you dont have a 4 year old desktop pc or newer, if you do, and can follow very basic instructions, they are a blatant rip-off

pcsx2 plays 99% of ps2 games in 1080p at 60 frames with anti aliasing which these "hd" remakes never seem to have enough of and aren't full hd as they are usually 720p and only run at 30 frames

on pcsx2 you can play games like persona 3 and 4, kingdom hearts 1 and 2, fatal frame 1 and 2 and 3, ffx, ffx-2, ffxii, ect...ect...ect....

nearly any ps2 game, just pop the original disc in your pc's dvd drive, launch pcsx2, sonfigure your xbox 360 or ps3 controller however you want and play

with a few other emulators you can play nearly all wii games, gamecube, ps1, ds, psp, snes, nes, genisis, ect...

I know there are many people who don't want to fuss with it and i get that, but I'm telling you, if you put the time in, you can get the best possible "hd" remake on pc for free if you own the original disc.

here's a link to pcsx2 site, it rocks, it does take about 10 min to set up, just follow the included read me or I think there is also a tutorial on the website and definatly one on youtube.

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection - Preparing for Snake Eater Remake

The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection launched in 2011, and is still the best way to play Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater ahead of the remake.

contra157307d ago (Edited 307d ago )

Can’t wait to one day break that game out of the collection vault

aaronaton306d ago

Currently playing Snake Eater HD on CRT 16:9, via Scart RGB. Game looks great but not as clean as MGS2, but thats due to the setting. Can't wait for the remake + the next HD collection on PS5.

Naughty Dog Should Remake Jak and Daxter, and Here's Why

Let's take it back to the old school.

_SilverHawk_592d ago (Edited 592d ago )

They would never do that because they are known for a certain quality to their games which requires a lot of work. Sony would have to charge full price for the game and a lot of poor people will cry about the price.

I've played jak and Daxter recently and I can tell the games were amazing in there time. Sony would want a high quality release to attract old fans and new fans but I don't see that happening at all.

CaptainHenry916592d ago

Sony likes to rely on remakes now. So it's possible

CrimsonWing69592d ago

Wait, all they make now are remakes?

_SilverHawk_591d ago (Edited 591d ago )

https://i.postimg.cc/66jwqF...

You need to understand that a lot of people crying about playstation pledged allegiance to some other gaming company. Most of them only own a gaming system or two and it's quite evident which gaming console has been steadily releasing high quality games regularly for a while which has been the case for a few generations

SonyStyled591d ago (Edited 591d ago )

It’s my favorite franchise, and the reason I moved from Nintendo to PlayStation 20yrs ago. I would love to see a successor with the same crude humor, alcohol drinking, tobacco smoking, and sexual humor.
To replicate that atmosphere could upset a crowd today since platformers largely target children now.
Is there another platformer today that’s dark, gritty, and characters committing suicide (Krew)?
For platformers now it’s SpongeBob, Astrobot, and Ratchet…

neutralgamer1992591d ago

ND won't remake it but some other studio could do it. Especially with remakes now getting quality content/resources they maybe able to do jak and Dexter trilogy into one giant game with improvements

RaidenBlack592d ago

I doubt ND'll handle Jak & Daxter any time soon.
Instead Sony'll assign the Remake to some other studio(smaller), like team asobi or bluepoint (I know these studios are doing some other stuffs but I am just using them as examples) or even contact Sumo or Lucid.

purple101592d ago

Naughty dog should focus on new and Interesting ideas. Like they always do

goldwyncq592d ago

They've been stuck doing nothing but Uncharted and TLOU for 3 generations now.

--Onilink--591d ago

Lol at your disagrees, I love Uncharted and LoU, but its not even a subjective thing. They have quite literally only done Uncharted and LoU games for 3 generations (so far). In terms of new ideas, I wouldn’t necessarily make them to be some kind of example. There are plenty of other things in which they are industry leaders and thats perfectly fine

tay8701591d ago

well when you make masterpiece after masterpiece with those 2 with those ips, peope are going to want more of each. u might get your wish if the rumors of their next space themed ip strays crossong are true.

purple101589d ago (Edited 589d ago )

If I'm right...

Crash bandicoot ps1
Jack & daxter ps2
The last of us ps3
Uncharted ps3 & ps4 & Psp

Now it's time for something new for ps5

ClayRules2012592d ago

I’d personally love to see Bluepoint Remake Jak and Daxter, knowing their pedigree and respect to handling past remakes.

I want Naughty Dog to finish up Factions (knowing that according to Neil it’ll have a story for it’s MP, but also in some ways be it’s biggest game and most ambitious, if I’m not mistaken, someone correct me if I’m wrong! Haha.) Also, along with just gearing the team (s) I’m not sure if they’re doing 2 teams at the studio again or just one big team (minus a smaller group that worked on Part 1 for PS5) but would like to see them more focused on their next NEW iP exclusively for PS5, be it savage Starlight or something else entirely.

Either way, I’m looking forward to have my mind 🤯 lol

Profchaos592d ago

Same I'm so tired of hearing it's coming but never seeing it.

ClayRules2012592d ago

Me too. I hope if and when they show it, we’ll get a release date and or a beta maybe? I mean, we’ve waited so long for it.

ClayRules2012590d ago

Yeah, I’d be great to see them do it. I believe they’d do a really great job!

EmperorDalek592d ago

We'll get another Last of Us remake before they give Jak any thought.

Kakashi Hatake591d ago (Edited 591d ago )

The PS4 edition wasn't a remake, it was a simple remaster to give PS4 owners something to play. TLOU PS5 is the first remake they've ever done. Can't pretend that's all they do now. TLOU2 was an excellent sequel and that's rare after striking gold with the first game.

EmperorDalek591d ago

You say that like it isn't common knowledge. Yeah, it's a remaster that's still playable on PS5, therefore it isn't as necessary as something like Demon's Souls or Shadow of the Colossus. A Jak remake would have been just as welcome as those, but they instead chose to remake the one we're already able to play.

"Excellent sequel" I disagree, the story was a mess and the game was a chore to play due to the poor pacing.

It's Konami. Expect nothing.

Snookies12741d ago

Konami's too busy with their Pachinko machines to worry over silly little things like this.
