God of War video game collections

Last updated

God of War is an action-adventure video game series, the first era of which was loosely based on Greek mythology. Debuting in 2005, the series became a flagship title for the PlayStation brand and the character Kratos is one of its most popular characters. The series consists of nine games across multiple platforms; the first seven make up the Greek era of the series. Five of the Greek era games have been re-released through three separate compilations for the PlayStation 3 (PS3) platform: God of War Collection (2009), God of War: Origins Collection (2011), and God of War Saga (2012). With the exception of God of War III in the God of War Saga, each collection features remastered ports of the games that were not originally released on the PS3. God of War III was later remastered as God of War III Remastered and released on PlayStation 4 (PS4) in July 2015. God of War: Betrayal , God of War: Ascension , God of War (2018), and God of War Ragnarök are the only installments that have not been remastered for a newer platform or included in a collection.

Each collection was praised for how the games were remastered, as well as their price. IGN claimed that the God of War Collection was the "definitive way to play the game[s]". God of War Collection prompted Sony to make a new line of remastered games for the PlayStation 3 (which expanded to subsequent PlayStation consoles). Although the Origins Collection was criticized for its lack of new bonus content, IGN said that "Sony succeeded at making good games better". For the Saga, Digital Trends claimed it is "perhaps the best value buy for any console available".

[10] The bonus materials of the original two-disc PlayStation 2 version of God of War II are included with the Blu-ray version of the collection. [11] The port was produced as a result of feedback from fans of the series and was viewed as a means of introducing new players to the series before God of War III was released. [12] The God of War III game demo from E3 2009 was included with early copies of the collection. [13] Sanzaru Games was responsible for porting the collection to the Vita. [14]

Sony's Santa Monica Studio—the games' original developer—ran a sweepstakes in November 2009 for the release of God of War Collection. The grand prize was an autographed "Gold" disc, exclusive artwork created and signed by a God of War team member, a Limited Edition Kratos T-shirt, and a limited edition 10 inches (25 cm) figurine of Kratos.

[17] The bonus materials for God of War II were not included with the digital download version. [11] Patch update version 1.01, released on September 5, 2012, allowed the PlayStation 3 version of God of War Collection to be played on the PlayStation Vita via the Remote Play function. [18]

Reception

God of War Collection received critical acclaim from critics. Aggregating review websites GameRankings and Metacritic gave the PlayStation 3 version 90.78% based on 43 reviews and 91/100 based on 50 reviews [19] [20] and the PlayStation Vita version 75.00% based on 15 reviews and 73/100 based on 28 reviews. [21] [22]

The PlayStation 3 version received critical acclaim. IGN gave the game an "Editor's Choice" Award, praised the enhanced resolutions, lower price point, and smoother frame rates, and stated it was the "definitive way to play the game". [23] 1up.com noted the tremendous increase in visuals but said the in-engine cut-scenes appeared blurry. [24] GamePro stated the collection is "two fantastic games on one disc for a low price; puts you in the right mindset for God of War 3". [25] PlayStation LifeStyle (5/5) said "Those … familiar with Kratos will enjoy the extra polish the Collection brings to two of the best games from the PS2 era". [26] Due to the success of God of War Collection, Sony announced that further titles would receive similar treatment for release under its new "Classics HD" brand. [8] By June 2012, God of War Collection had sold more than 2.4 million copies worldwide, making it the eighteenth best-selling PlayStation 3 game of all time. [27]

God of War: Origins Collection (known as God of War Collection – Volume II in Europe and Australia) is a remastered port of the two PlayStation Portable installments in the series— Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta —for the PlayStation 3 on a single Blu-ray Disc. It was announced at the Sony press conference at E3 2011 and was ported by Ready at Dawn, the developer of the PlayStation Portable games. The collection was released on September 13, 2011, in North America, September 16 in Europe, September 29 in Australia, and October 6 in Japan. God of War: Origins Collection was also released in North America as a digital download on the PlayStation Store on September 13. [28]

God of War: Origins Collection features native 1080p high-definition video, anti-aliased graphics at 60 frames per second, DualShock 3 rumble features, Trophies, [29] and is the only God of War release to feature Stereoscopic 3D.

[30] [31]

Reception

God of War: Origins Collection received positive reviews from critics. It received a score of 86.62% based on 41 reviews on GameRankings [32] and 84/100 based on 58 reviews on Metacritic. [33]

IGN stated, "Sony succeeded at making good games better" and that it "acts as a time lapse experiment for players to get a really good look at how a developer evolves from one game to another". [34] GamePro noted the lack of new bonus content, and said, "3D doesn't necessarily radically redefine the experience. It does, however, make things like boss fights and magical effects much more mesmerizing", but added that, "all of the in-game cinematics are not in 3D, which is … unfortunate considering how cutscenes are such an integral part of the storytelling in any God of War game". [35] By June 2012, God of War: Origins Collection had sold 711,737 copies worldwide. [27]

God of War Saga is a collection of five of the God of War games for the PlayStation 3 released as part of Sony's PlayStation Collections line on August 28, 2012, in North America; it was not released elsewhere. The collection includes God of War, God of War II, God of War III, Chains of Olympus, and Ghost of Sparta. It features two Blu-ray Discs—God of War I and II on the first and III on the second—and a voucher to download Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta. The games retain the same features as their first PS3 releases. The collection also includes exclusive bonus content and a voucher for a one-month trial of PlayStation Plus. The games, with the exception of God of War III, are also available to download from the PlayStation Store. [36] [37] From September 27 until October 5, 2012, to celebrate the release of God of War Saga, PlayStation.Blog ran a weekly countdown of the top five God of War epic moments as voted by the God of War Facebook community. "The Death of Ares" from the original God of War was voted as the "#1 most epic God of War moment of All Time". [38]

In Latin America, an exclusive version of God of War Saga, titled God of War: Omega Collection, was released in November 2012. The Omega Collection features three Blu-ray discs, as opposed to two, with Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta included on the third disc. It also includes a SteelBook game case with exclusive artwork and a limited edition bronze statue of Kratos, created by an Argentine artist. [39]

Reception

Ryan Fleming of Digital Trends wrote that the collection "is perhaps the best value buy for any console available", and that for fans of the series, "this collection is not for you" as all games (with the exception of God of War III) are available for download, and it will "likely be redundant". However, new or inexperienced players should buy it. Fleming added that it was odd that the PSP games were included as downloads, and would like to have seen content migrate over to the PlayStation Vita. [40] Jeffrey L. Wilson of PC Magazine gave the collection a 4 out of 5 and called it "an excellent purchase for anyone looking for cinematic, blood-drenched action—especially newcomers who get five titles for the price of one", but added that long time fans may not find much value in the collection.
