that was always the release date nov. 17th is when i saw it when i preordered a gamestopfew weeks ago and if im correct when i saw it on amozon it was the same .

UNCyrus5301d ago

no, it's always been the 10th of november

LordMarius5301d ago

Just in time for Thanksgiving break

FamilyGuy5301d ago

Not a big deal at all considering all the games out now that could occupy that time.

What PS3 owner here is skipping all the games that just came out or are soon to be and just waiting for the GOW Collection?

Darkstorn5301d ago

'tis a shame, but it's only another week. In the meantime, I'll be playing Uncharted 2 and Brutal Legend... :D

DRUDOG5301d ago (Edited 5301d ago )

Can't wait to pick this up. Believe it or not, but I still haven't played GoW 2. I know, I know. It came out at a bad time for me and I never went back to play it. Now I can have the definitive quasi-HD version with trophies. One more week won't kill me when I've been waiting years to play it.

Edit: @Darkstorn, don't forget to add Demon's Souls to that list as well.

You guys enjoy watching a muscular bald head white man with face paint beat gods while wearing a skirt.

I thought I was alone. : )

jav09185301d ago

no WAY!! I thought II was alone!!!!!

randomwiz5301d ago

@-Seven-

dont forget the best part, he can rip people in half!

slipkoRn5301d ago (Edited 5301d ago )

but in the gameplay part I would like to see some changes like

1.have helios head stick together with the bow tear a hole in the back of helios head so arrows with a light beam could come out and could aim at a wall or an enemy so it could light right on instead of having a lantern with no weapon and i know switching weapons is smooth but if you dont have helios head out it could be hard to see in dark areas.

2.should be able to control which direction to go when evading.

3.player should be able to cancel the long combos like when you do a cyclone attack your stuck with the move hoping you dont get attacked especialy in titan mode.it could make gameplay smoother when attacking.

4.this isnt a complain but would be awsome to see a circle of enemies around with shields out spears pointing up to keep you in when battling mini/boss like a circle of death kinda thing when theirs a challenge.I saw this in movies and would like to see more of the tactics they used back then in wars. that thing the skeletons did around helios was cool when they defended him.

5.since the horseman is leading the sword soldiers why not have a leading archer lead the smaller archers get that 300 vibe having hundreds of arrows come at you in one command. and theirs where the wings come in could use it as a fort.wings and golden fleece should be upgraded.

6. qte's need to be shuffled around not have the same repetetive move kratos does.use the right analog instead of triangle x o square.

7.replace helios head power whith a sroll kratos reads a spell makes some changes in your favor like for ex. sometimes when i die get sent to the last checkpoint with tiny health and no chest around just use the scroll that magic gets taken to your health.could also kill enemies need to sacrafice something to keep a balance.

DaTruth5301d ago (Edited 5301d ago )

I'll probably still be playing Demon's Souls, so no biggie!

Took the time out to finish Un2 today, but now I have to spend another night thinking about what I have to do next in Demon's Souls!
1. Upgrade to Lava Bow.
2. Kill the maneaters
3. Kill that Black Knight guy before he kills my friends.
4. Check Pure white unlock areas in level 2
5. Get dark tendency in level 1 so I can kill the primeval demon, get Colourless Demon Soul and get pure white and other necessities.

sikbeta5301d ago

You really want to f@ck up my gaming experience with this news, ARES!!!!!

Christopher5301d ago

Nothing changes as far as I know. I thought it was already planned for Nov. 17th. You know, one week prior to the Thanksgiving Holiday? One week prior to the biggest sales Holiday of the year?

It's one of the best days they could have selected for the game's release this year.

frostypants5300d ago

I was ALWAYS under the impression that the 17th was the date. Not sure where I saw it, and also not sure where people came up with the 10th. In any event, it's a smart move from a sales standpoint for Sony to give the MW2 gorilla some space (for the benefit of BOTH titles).

Nitrowolf25301d ago

well a week isn't bad. So is the GOW3 demo really in the disc? cause on Gamestop site i think it says it will email you the code. Im confused

randomwiz5301d ago

code comes WITH the collection

badz1495301d ago

nice, now I'm really buying this! it's not like I was on the fence on buying it but the demo adds to the excitement! I'm a minority of people in here (I think) that haven't played GoW and GoWII! not really a GoW virgin because I've played CoO on PSP but I'll assume I'm!

Uncharted 2 + R&C Future: ACIT + GoW Collection = BEST YEAR END EVER!!

Jsynn75301d ago

I'm gonna wait for the official word on this. It doesn't matter to me anyway since there are ton of games coming out to keep me busy but, if it's true, Oh well.

UNCyrus5301d ago

I'll forward you my email if you want to see it... it's true, check amazon's website

Ranking the God of War Games

Kratos has been on a rampage, killing Gods in epic battles since 2005. With each release managing to offer high-octane action, I explore each God of War title and rank every adventure from his journey to Olympus to his Norse tales of fatherhood.

ClayRules2012528d ago

I won’t rank Ragnarok just yet, although it is honestly leaving me and my wife blown away…won’t go into details right now, not done as I assume others aren’t either, maybe some of you are, idk haha.

But here’s how I rank them

5. God of War 3
4. God of War Ascension.
3. God of War 1.
2. God of War 2.
1. God of War 2018.

MrNinosan528d ago

My same ranking exactly, with Ragnarök at #1.

ClayRules2012527d ago

Wow, that’s pretty interesting that someone has the same ranking as me haha. So, did you beat Ragnarok? I assume so with you placing it at #1

Flawlessmic528d ago

1. God of war 3
2. God of war 2018
3. God of war 2
4. God of war 1

Haven't played the others but about 30 hrs In to ragnarock now so safe to say if it keeps up it will end up being at the top of my list when I'm done.

CrimsonWing69528d ago

I will say the pacing of the original titles and the epic feel to them I feel is way better than the new one’s. Like, I could recognize and appreciate the praise God of War received, but it bores me to tears except for the pivotal moments.

However, that being said I feel Ragnarok is waaaaay better than 2018. I’m only on Ch. 6, but it’s pretty much rocked my face off from the get-go.

I’m really split between this being my GotY or Elden Ring.

robtion527d ago

I think different games in the series had different strengths but all are great. I liked the original as it was an origin story and the mechanics were fresh. The sequel added smoother gameplay. Three was just so far ahead of it's time graphically it wasn't even funny. Plus great gameplay and bosses and insane gore and nice use of sexy time. The reboot was cool but lost a lot of what I liked about the original trilogy (I don't need my games grown up, just fun). Will wait and see with ragnarok as haven't had time to play it yet.

A Look at How Well the Vita Works as a Portable PS3

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "As the Vita provides a brilliant portable legacy experience for Sony’s other two home consoles (PS1 and PS2), I decided to focus this article on the next in line – the PlayStation 3. Unlike its predecessors, the PS3 far outpaces Vita in terms of power, on top of being built on an extremely unique architecture which meant porting between the two wasn’t as straightforward as it could have been. Still, thanks to engine compatibility and some brilliant efforts from developers, the two consoles shared numerous pieces of software and, where this wasn’t possible, others sought to provide bespoke experiences instead. Altogether this means that the Vita does a pretty good job at providing a portable PS3 experience."

“Sony may have advertised Vita as ‘console quality on the go’, which irritated many buyers due to games with reduced framerates and graphical elements being released“

Why would some people complain about that then but praise the Switch now for doing the same thing?

“The PS3 might not be remembered as Sony’s finest hour in gaming”

I and many others see PS3 as Sony’s best console

Neonridr2012d ago (Edited 2012d ago )

The Switch still offers the same game though. Sure in docked mode the game may have run at a higher resolution or framerate, but the game was still the same in terms of content. Most Vita games were altered from any console equivalents (unless they were smaller indie titles). Look at Call of Duty for example, which made a horrible transition and this was a game that they bundled with the Vita and tried to promote. That's not to say there weren't some great titles on Vita though. Killzone and Uncharted were great and closely mirrored the console games while offering a new story.

Razmiran2011d ago

I remember the early fps hype on the vita was murdered after a few botch jobs (Borderlands, Call of duty, Resistance) which helped put some nails on the "Portable triple A" coffin
Killzone Mercenary was awesome tho

EddieNX 2011d ago

The Switch is doing a much better job of delivering on that premise perhaps?

InKnight7s2011d ago

Because Switch is much larger device + a gen years later device, and despite of that the gap isn't that much.

Bruh2011d ago

The PS3 was the most revolutionary console of its time, Blu Ray, built in WiFi, bluetooth for its accessories, the Cell

It was a multi-media powerhouse

SierraGuy2011d ago

Same ... anyone who disagrees is confused.

@neon...you bring up COD at least that game made it to Vita. We still have yet to see it on Switch I might remind you.

When developers are asked if COD would make it to Switch...they laugh... because it's funny.

Neonridr2010d ago

but look at Doom and Wolfenstein 2 for example. Those games are identical. Sure some sacrifices to resolution or framerate had to be made, but it's still the same game. That was my point. No larger studio games made the transition over to the Vita and remained the same, they were usually stripped down versions much like Wii versions of games compared to the 360/PS3 at the time.

Razmiran2010d ago

That pitiful CoD game on vita was pure trash, you cant even use it as an "At least"

TekoIie2010d ago (Edited 2010d ago )

"Why would some people complain about that then but praise the Switch now for doing the same thing?"

Because the Vita never delivered whereas the Switch delivered day 1. BotW was easily big budget AAA console quality and seeing as it won GOTY it's clear that it succeeded. If we look back at the Vitas initial games from Sony like Uncharted they felt like discount versions of the prior releases in the franchise. BotW stands alongside the top releases in it's franchise. There's a clear difference there.

The Switch is doing the same thing but succeeding. That's why it gets a pass. There were a few gems on the Vita but they were so few and far between that they couldn't be impactful and help the system grow.

TekoIie2010d ago (Edited 2010d ago )

@protagonist

Then refute what I wrote. List all the games that are comparable to a big budget AAA game that would release on the PS3 and how they helped the Vita sell.

I heard comment that the unused port on Vita was originally planned for Vita TV function.
But Sony decided to take it out and release a separated failed Vita TV...

Aww... Vita could have been the Switch, but Sony got greedy and worried Vita will capitalize on PS4 market...
