So you guys know how RECVX HD and RE4 HD each have the full 1000 points on the 360? Yeah, well the PS3 versions have a grand total of 12 trophies, with no platinum. This despite the fact that Sony is incredibly lenient with their trophies (unlike Microsoft) and have let other PSN games (like Trine, Wipeout HD and Under Siege) have full trophy lists. So yeah, I think I'll skip them and will make do with my GC and PS2 versions of RE4.
God of War: Origins (Also on PSN) – This double-pack of carnage contains both origin chapters in the God of War franchise — God of War: Chains of Olympus & God of War: Ghost of Sparta. Both games are remade with high-definition graphics displayable on 3D HDTVs.
CHAINS OF OLYMPUS: As many who know the tales of the God of War know, Kratos, after being deceived into killing his wife and daughter, denounced his service to Ares. In order to seek absolution from his past sins, the Ghost of Sparta pledged himself as a champion to the Gods for the years to follow – these brutal crusades, in the name of Olympus, became legendary throughout the ancient world … Experience Kratos’ journey during the 10 years of servitude to the Gods of Olympus. In God of War: Chains of Olympus, Kratos will venture to lands that no mortal has ever walked upon.
GHOST OF SPARTA: Set in the realm of Greek mythology, God of War: Ghost of Sparta is a single-player game that allows players to take on the powerful role of Spartan warrior Kratos. This new adventure picks up after the first God of War concludes, telling the story of Kratos’ ascension to power as the God of War. In his quest to rid himself of the nightmares that haunt him, Kratos must embark on a journey that will reveal the origins of lost worlds, and finally answer long-awaited questions about his dark past. Armed with the deadly chained Blades of Chaos, he will have to overcome armies of mythological monsters, legions of undead soldiers, and amazingly dangerous and brutal landscapes throughout his merciless quest.

Bulletstorm — Bulletstorm brings new furor to first-person shooter action thanks to its signature ‘kill with skill’ gameplay. The game tells the story of a futuristic confederation protected by an elite band of mercenaries: Dead Echo. When Dead Echo members Grayson Hunt and Ishi Sato learn they’ve been working for the wrong side, they’re betrayed by their commander and exiled to the far reaches of the galaxy. In Bulletstorm, Grayson and Ishi find themselves surrounded by hordes of mutants and flesh eating gangs in an abandoned paradise. They have two objectives: get off the planet alive, and exact revenge on the man who sent them there.
Players step into the role of Grayson Hunt complete with an arsenal of over-the-top combat moves and outrageously large guns. Bulletstorm’s array of distinct ‘skillshots’ produces unprecedented levels of frantic gameplay and yell-inducing satisfaction. The skillshot system rewards players for inciting mayhem in the most creative way possible. The more insane the skillshot, the more points players collects to upgrade their character and unlock weapons, which then allows them to execute even more creative moves and exaggerated skillshots.
Ferrari: The Race Experience — The official Ferrari licensed videogame experience, Ferrari: The Race Experience features the world’s most desired sports cars, including the Ferrari 458 Italia and Ferrari 599XX. Choose from an impressive stable of 34 Ferrari motors and race across 17 racetracks, including the street circuit Riviera and the ultra cool Fiorano test track. Players get their choice of GT Road Cars, GT Race Cars or Classic Cars. An all-new Assisted mode allows gamers of all skill levels to enjoy a Ferrari.
Elemental Monster: Online Card Game — Emerald Monster is a battle game where you the player make use of cards to summon beasts. Create your own deck of cards, then select three cards and place them on the battle field. You then select a monster to summon from one of these three cards. Each monster can be made to perform one of two attacks, or if you feel a slight imbalance against your opponent, you can recall your creature and send out another in its place. This PS3 entry in the franchise features over 10 hours of play in Single Player mode and online battles (with a pay-per-play system) for networked multiplayer bouts.
Renegade Ops (Demo Available) — Renegade Ops puts players in a mobile commando unit sent behind enemy lines to defeat Inferno, a madman intent on global domination. Defeat enemies across a range of stunning environments using a wide variety of vehicles, from dispersing electromagnetic shock waves to the deployment of a huge Gatling gun armed to the teeth.

Cyberbots: Fullmetal Madness — Cyberbots: Fullmetal Madness is a fighting game produced by Capcom in 1994 where the pilots of mecha battle each other. The game is a sequel to the scrolling fighter Armored Warriors. The game only had minimal distribution in arcades outside Japan, and none of the console ports were released overseas. Tech Romancer (ported to the Sega Dreamcast) is considered a spiritual sequel for this game; Jin and his BX-02 Blodia are present in it as an unlockable bonus character/mech.

Pong — Pong on the PlayStation takes that original idea, adds a super clean and smooth 3D and physics engine, and hammers out dozens of new ideas only a 3D game could possibly do.
So, God of War Origins will be on PSN Day-One. No way to know if it'll be like previous collections and you can buy the games individually or if it'll only be the both of them as one, but I'm betting on the former. Also, a little variety of other stuff with Bulletstorm, Ferrari racing game, and a trading card game. Looks like a pretty good week.
Sweet, AC demo. Looking forward to loading this game up. Also might check out the Cyberbots game. Can't get enough mech battle games. That Ferrari game sounds interesting as well.
I swear these free Sega re-releases are just a way of giving the PS+ users free trophies. Took me all of maybe two hours to collect everything that Altered Beast had to offer. And I was slacking.

DLC is just a Section 8 map pack, plus some Dynasty Warriors, YooStar, Champion Jockey and Magic 2012 stuff.
Not a bad update really, unless you live in Australia or New Zealand and really like God of War.
Pretty sure they've delayed the Origins Collection at retail here, so they've probably pushed its PSN release back as well. Doesn't matter, I've imported my copy from the US, so it's way cheaper and I don't have to deal with the fugly HD Classics logo and spine font (plus Origins Collection sounds so much better than Collection, Volume II). It should look good next to my US copy of the first collection (though my copy of GoW3 has the fugly spine font...).
Anyway, will buy From Dust. I completely avoided the PC version thanks to Ubisoft's shitty DRM, so this and a 20% discount will do nicely.
Am I the only one really having problems with this thread? Takes forever to load, posts end up posting twice because it doesn't...well, -post- in the first place, etc.? I know there's a thread with roughly the same issue and the solution seems to be "Make a new thread because old threads don't work right". And, I guess I can do that if you guys want, but I don't want to jump the gun if it's just me with the issue.
Nope this is one of the infamous dodgy threads, I'm having problems in this thread as well as a few others so please do make a new one and report this for locking
Huh. Same here. I guess vB to Vanilla database conversions have a few hiccups for certain types of threads? I wonder what it was about this one that tripped it up.
Huh. Same here. I guess vB to Vanilla database conversions have a few hiccups for certain types of threads? I wonder what it was about this one that tripped it up.
Alright. I'll get to making the new thread either tonight or tomorrow. I'm just hoping on everything that the new (lower) character limit isn't going to make this ridiculously difficult.
So was Chains of Olympus always so riddled with bugs, or is it just a shitty-ass port?
Aside from (many) sound hiccups and misplaced sound cues, there are control hiccups that drive me insane. Like how sometimes I'll have to initiate a QTE four or five times because when I initialize it, the button already comes up "crushed" (like you failed) when I haven't pressed anything at all. Sometimes I'll be climbing up from a wall and when I reach the ledge at the top and climb up, he'll fall back down into the wall-scaling position. This happened a solid ten times in a row at the Helios temple. And now I'm climbing up a wall, and when a baddie grabs me, it'll initiate a game to alternate L1+R1 to shake him off, and sometimes I'll win, other times it'll start the "win" animation and then revert to the enemy kicking me down and dying. Seems to be pure, sheer random luck.
resident evil 4 is coming out on tuesday, and its only $10 with ps+. im pretty excited about it.
Eh, if they'd put some effort into it, it'd be a must buy but as it is, I can skip it. Already have the GC and PS2 versions so I'm not really that fussed.
Vow, as far as I can remember there were no similar problems when I played it and I haven't heard of anyone else having those problems with the Collection version. Maybe you just had a bad copy or experience. My copy should arrive next week.
Anyway, I bought From Dust and it's pretty awesome. Difficulty certainly rose when they introduced the fire and water trees though. I go and focus on one other part for a bit and come back to find that the water tree had shrivelled and my village had been burnt down.
anyone know where the God of War Origins Collection bonus content might be? I don't think there was anything on the manual, nothing else in the case, and the disc only gives you the option of starting either game.
