Looks Sony believes strongly in giving people second (or even third) chances.
It has already been known for some time that the Ratchet & Clank Collection, which includes HD versions of the first three games in the series, is hitting shelves at the end of this month. Now however it seems everyone’s favorite Lombax/robot duo will not be alone when they do so. That is because today the PlayStation Blog revealed two additional collections of past releases that will also be released on August 28 alongside the Ratchet & Clank Collection.
And what are these two additional collections you might ask? Why none other than an InFAMOUS Collection and a new God of War collection dubbed the God of War Saga. According to the PlayStation Blog, both of these collections will also come with a number of bonuses in addition to the games themselves. A full listing of what each collection will include follows:
God of War
God of War II
God of War III
God of War: Origins Collection (which includes God of War: Chains of Olympus and God of War: Ghost of Sparta)
Exclusive Bonus Content
Voucher For 1 Trial Month of PlayStation Plus
Remastered for HD, DUALSHOCK Control, Full PlayStation Network Trophy Support and 3D (3D supported only in God of War: Origins Collection)
inFAMOUSCollection
inFAMOUS
inFAMOUS 2
inFAMOUS: Festival of Blood
Extra missions
Additional character costumes, power ups and weapon styles
The PlayStation Blog post is ambiguous in regards to if the various bonus material listed above for each collection will simply be previously released DLC or actual new content made specifically for these releases. The post did confirm however that these three games constitute only the first in what Sony is dubbing their new Collections line and also promised that additional similar collections would be announced in the weeks to come. So let the speculation begin; personally I have got my fingers crossed for Sony having worked out some kind of deal with Square Enix to release the long desired Kingdom Hearts HD Collection (presumably consisting of KHI, KHII, KH: Re:Chains of Memories, and KH: Birth By Sleep) for PS3. Unlikely? Yes, but a man may dream. A man may dream.
UPDATE: A typo in the original posting on the PlayStation Blog lead to the incorrect reporting that the price for the Infamous Collection and God of War Saga would be the same as the Ratchet & Clank Collection: $29.99. In fact both of these collections will be priced at $39.99; additionally only the games in the God of War: Origins Collection portion of God of War: Saga will support 3D.
If nothing else, the God of War Saga is one heck of a good value for anyone who has yet to purchase those games and is still interested in doing so. I will say that a collection collecting what itself is a collection, and keeping said collection titled as such in the new collection, strikes me as amusingly redundant. The Ratchet & Clank Collection, Infamous Collection, and God of War Saga all arrive on August 28 for PS3. Additionally, select titles from each collection not already available digitally will be released individually to PSN (sans extras) on the 28th as well.

Really? Another God of War collection? This marks the third time we have gotten a GoW collection on the PS3. I understand making previous generation titles into collections, like the Jak series and the Sly Cooper series, but this is just overkill.
It’s a collection of collections. Collectionception.
Honestly, at this rate, I’m expecting (Read: Hoping for) second collections of the Ratchet & Clank and Jak series.
I have inFamous 1, but it seems this collection includes enough stuff from 2 to make it a good purchase if you never picked that one up.
Sony is still losing money somehow – but they keep trying their best to appeal to the gamer.
I still think that a Kingdom Hearts HD Collection would not include Birth by Sleep, but considering how that God of War Saga is going to have FIVE games in it, maybe they’ll put it in. I would love to see the collection on Wii U, with or without Birth by Sleep.
I got Infamous from the Welcome Back program, but that collection is interesting, and the closest thing I’ll get to a complete version of Infamous 2 so far.
I’m extremely excited for the Ratchet & Clank HD Collection. Hopefully they make a second one with Deadlocked and the PSP games.
Overall, I’m just glad Sony has given an official branding to their collections.
Didn’t they release a God of War collection already? Or was that just 1 and 2?
They actually released two PS3 God of War Collections already. One that had 1+2 and one that had the two PSP titles.
Little Big Planet Collection with all the DLC a few months after Little Big Planet Karting comes out? Pretty Please?
