For quite some time I have been struggling with the thought of getting Playstation 3. Xbox 360, while having some cool exclusives and generally being cheaper, scares by its infamous failure rate. If I buy an entertainment device, I don't want to be left without it for extended periods of time - and since Poland is not USA, struggling with it would be much more painful. Hence, Playstation 3.
One of the best games on PSP, if not downright the best, is God of War: Chains of Olympus. I never owned PS2, so I admit not having played two first installments more than an hour or so. I thought I'd buy them, once I get my PS3, but it turns out that backwards compatibility was just an occasional Sony mistake and is not an option now (unless one chases the elusive 60Gb PS3 on eBay or elsewhere). So, until God of War III graces Sony's black behemoth, no Kratos adventures are to be had on PS3.
Now there's good news - you can scratch the last paragraph, because Sony will bring two first parts in new remastered version:
The information states that "games are now running 720p, with full anti-aliasing, running at 60 frames per second". God of War I was okay in graphics department, but God of War II was great and just thinking of how it might look with aliasing and bumped up resolution gives me the shivers. The God of War Trilogy (Collection plus third part) might be what finally gets me into buying Playstation 3.
