"Classics HD", new brand for PS3 games?

It doesnt take a lot of time and effort
 
Hope they do the MGS HD with 2 and 3 but also include a ported version of Twin Snakes. Alot of people hate on it but the PS1 graphics of the original have not aged well. The biggest downside is that its not only crossing system generations, its crossing platforms as well.

Team ICO Collection
ZoE Collection
MGS Collection
Silent Hill Collection

So much money to be made.

I'tll probably be first party titles only.

I am not buying games I already own again just because Sony fucked up backwards compatibility.

Dude?? These are being updated and including multiple games in one version. Totally worth it. After even seeing HD videos of the god of war collection theres no way id want to play the old ps2 disc.

How can it be? They seem to be setting up a brand, they don't really have the material to do that on their own. Sly Collection won't do well. Team ICO Collection will probably be a bit of a hit. That's about it. Doesn't seem worth setting up "Classics HD" for.
 
I'm personally hoping that they make this set of games extensive.

I'm not afraid to admit that I didn't really become much of a "hardcore" gamer until around 2004, and didn't fnd out about obscure stuff like Okami and Shin Megami Tensei until around 2005-2006. I missed out on a hell of a lot of awesome games, and nowadays, it's hard to find some older games for a low price, and even if I do, I still have to deal with the terrible graphics due to having to play them through a HDTV with component cables, not to mention the fact that I'm probably busy with a new release anyway.

A set of games like this would give me a great incentive to go back and rediscover the classics.

Funnily enough, I actually own good condition copies of both ICO and Shadow of the Colossus, but have still never played them. I just don't have the time when there's other newer games out.

Predicting GAF RAGE over that last sentence.

Folks here seem to be forgetting what a difference the HD graphics are...

Personally I'd love more HD collections, especially for the series I missed in the PS2 area. But I'm not above double dipping for some series (MSG, Ico/SotC, FF).

That's my kitton! :D
But seriously. The original devs won't take part in the porting. And people who have never played the games will now get to experience them. Without having to complain about out dated graphics, or buying overpriced copies on amazon. The GOW collection was the 1st time I played the series.

Hopefully these re-releases are Greatest Hits right out of the box ($30), but I doubt it. They'll probably charge $20 per game, and then watch them flop. (GOW was $40, Sly is $60).

The hell? I'm just seeing this. I realize it's 3 games but these games are old as balls, that price is too damn high. My enthusiasm just got dampened.
 
3 games, move support, 3d support, hd and trophies. I think $60 is a fare price. I wish it was lower though, hopefully it's not final.

What is the general consensus on each Sly game? Never played any of them.

First one the best?


Sly 1 > Sly 3 > Sly 2 >>>> all R&C > all Jak

imo.

Silent Hill 3 SD already has better character models than Homecoming. Which is sort of pretty fucking sad :lol
Somnium986 said:
IMO SH3 looks better than Homecoming right now in it's SD state. Tis a sad truth.
edit: beaten >:(
Oh, I know. I meant it would look better in everything.
That game is still incredible.

my backwards compatibility works fine.

and don't tell me GoW had anything to do with backwards compatibility. it's a remastered release, have you ever played it?
 
Only thing that kind of bothers me is that I most likely already own/have beaten most of the obvious ones that might become collections. Whatever, just keep them coming
 
GoW Collection was born out of a special edition questionnaire, it was intended primarily for fans of the series, not for people who never played it.

It might be a nice by-product of removing BC, but these HD Collections are not to rape the user base. I have a BC unit, have played both the GoW games and got the Collection, I have played both Ueda games, and will buy the Collection.

I'm not saying Sony are pure and honest, I'm sure they're as sick and twisted as any company that size, however, I do believe this one thing, HD Collections and the removal of BC is not directly connected and was not that premeditated and cynical.
 
i hope konami,capcom and square jump in

square can redeem themselves and finally release kh2 final mix over here and fix the horrible L2/R2 camera in kh1
 
MGS collection
DMC collection
Onimusha collection
Monster Hunter collection
Resident Evil collection
Ico+SotC collection

Not only in HD+trophies, add Move support where it makes senes and 3D.

Ace Combat 4
Ace Combat 5
Ace Combat Zero

HD collection of this will make me explode with the force of Thor's hammer.
i'd purchase this product and recommend it to my friends.

Yeah this. It would definitely be an amazing collection in 60fps HD.

I think SOTC+Ico is a given, it's already been listed on retailer sites.

ZOE 1+2 please.

DON'T TEASE US!!!

ChronicleX said:
I would rather sony get to work on PS2 emulation rather than cashing in by making us rebuy games we already own.
I have a bc PS3 and I WANT MORE COLLECTIONS!! Actually all I want is ICO and SoTC...and sly, which I'm gettin:D And the people who are making this are probably not the ones who could make bc happen. Actually classics HD and BC aren't mutually exclusive, bluray players play dvds and many people still double dip on Remastered blurays, BELIEVE.

A tease in HD

I remember when Nintendo was getting GC ports. People were saying "LULZ Wii only HAZ GC ports". Wii was bashed left and right for this but it's great for the PS3. Remove backwards compatibility so Sony can get idiots to rebuy the games all over again. Perfect plan.

Atleast Nintendo kept their bc on the Wii.
Who are you calling an idiot?O.o Why can't I have my SotC in HD!? And I don't think the Wii was bashed when Resi4 was ported.

So this is why they stopped backwards compatibility? :(

I refuse to believe, only because I fear the heart-breaking disappointment.

the gc ports were hideous,resident evil 1 & zero didnt even get 16:9 widescreen and ran in letterbox mode,okami and metroid prime 1+2 were even downgraded

at least these ps2 games get better graphics and framerate,not to mention the better image quality and colour thanks to hdmi

oh my god clutter

age rating, dev logo, publisher, logo, move circle sticker, classics hd swish, move bar, psn nub, psn logo, ps3 bar, clear plastic bar on top of case

WHERE'S THE 3D FEATURES STICKER?

Remember these days?

Remember when game boxes just had the game art and console name? no rating, no PSN/XBL, no move/kinect, no 'this may kill your unborn faetus' warning.

Fuck the Megadrive SNES days were rad.

This is the kind of crap people post on other gaming forums. Go join them...
 
I would to totally buy:


- Team ICO collection (SOTC 1080p 30fps? hooooolyshit.)
- Jak And Daxter Collection
- Maximo Collection ( + a new Maximo 3 packed in?) :P

Why would they release Sly at $60? Don't they realize that almost no one actually cares about the games? I don't remember them being popular.

LoL. These are improved visual ports with trophies, not just controller ports.
