PlayStation LifeStyle writes:

"Backward compatibility has been an issue that both Sony and the PlayStation 3 have faced since the console's inception. However, when the God of War Collection was announced for the PlayStation 3, many saw it as the emergence of a solution to the problem. What may surprise some is the low cost of such a solution."

Awesome. I can't wait to pick this up. I already have the original GoW 1+2 but I guess I'm trophy whoring. If it doesn't take that long to remaster PS2 games then I could already see other companies remastering their classics. I'd like to see Shenmue remastered (I'd also like Sega to finish the story already with a final game but I guess I'm asking for the moon and stars).

That's something we probably wouldn't see if every PS3 had backward compatibility: remastered games with trophies. Instead, we would play PS2 games as they were on PS2. Plus, some gems that were missed will have another chance. I would definitely buy remastered Shadow of the Colossus again.

1.3 - I'd love to see a Metal Gear Solid collection complete with HD visuals & Trophies...
Metal Gear Solid 1-3 are fantastic games but inevitably, as with all videogames, the graphics age quicker than the gameplay. A nice fresh coat of paint, added trophy support, and these great stealth games are accessible to a new generation as well as old-timers who want to visit some of the best games of the last generations!

Would absolutely love an Ico & Shadow of the Collossus collection too. I hope this is a trend that grows.

15 weeks = almost 4 months...

Lol someone disagreed, I'm not saying that this isn't an impressive feat, but 4 weeks in a month multiplied by 3 = 12 weeks.

I'm sure a month of that time was simply playtesting.

Prefered Ico over SotC. Both great but the relationship aspect in Ico win it for me. TLG will be another great title from Team Ico for sure. 3s idea would be nice.

Now .. if that isn't a calling to have more games remastered (HD w/ trophy support), I don't know what is. Would be cool if they were offered as PSN downloads as well.

5 - I want some remastered Tim Shafer!
Brutal Legend wasn't up my alley so I'd like me some Grim Fandango or Psychonauts to erase this memory, it was like when I saw the last Indiana Jones or the last two bonds, it's never going to be the same ever again...

but it would have to be redone in 3d tho, maybe cell shaded would work.

5.5 - One of my favorite GA
Full throttle is a classic and recommend gamers to try it. It's not as slow paced as other graphic adventure point and click games. Great game.

Ueda-san's actually supposedly had meetings about the possibility of doing this with Ico/SOTC, about a month ago...

http://www.vg247.com/2009/0...

Not much has been heard since though.

Ueda - 'But it might not be so easy, because, with both titles we really stretched the limits of the PS2. It’s complex. So it’s not such an easy transfer to the PS3. But I want to discuss it.'

'It's complex'. GoW 1 & 2 were apparently complex, PS2-stretching games but according to Sev's article were done in 15 weeks...even more cause for optimism methinks :)

I've never been a fan of button masher beat em ups like Devil may cry or anything, nor have I ever played a God of war game but for some reason I'm really dying to get this. This is my most anticipated game of the rest of the year by far. There's just something about the mythological setting and the sheer power of Kratos as a character.
