Ready At Dawn Studios shows off the upscaled versions of the upcoming Origins Collection, an in-depth re-mastering of God of War: Chains of Olympus and God of War: Ghost of Sparta for the PS3.

"Re-mastering both of the God of War PSP games in full HD for the PS3 God of War: Origins Collection definitely had its share of challenges for us," shares Nathan Phail-Liff, Ready At Dawn's Art Director. "The first goal we had was simply the daunting task of up-rezing the engine and content authored on a PSP running at 480 x 272 resolution and 30 frames per second to 1920 x 1080p at a steady 60 fps on the PS3. This required a custom PS3 version of our engine, coded in-house exclusively for the Origins Collection, as well as a painstaking process by art team. We ended up going through every single character in the game and doubling or tripling polygon count by hand, as well as up-rezing and re-painting every texture across both games at 4x resolution on both characters and environments."

Aside from upscaling the in-game content, developer Ready at Dawn also implemented full stereoscopic 3D support to the Origins Collection and further improved every single cinematics of both titles in full HD. God of War: Origins Collection will be out on September 13 in North America for US$ 39.99.
