Sony: Survey is just a survey, no confirmation on Blu-ray God of War II

God of War III - Image 1A survey is just a survey. Unfortunately, this is what Sony said in regards to the survey that recently made its rounds on fans' emails, asking about whether or not they would like to see a collector's edition for God of War III. The survey sent hopes for backwards compatibility skyrocketing to high heavens, only to be dashed right back down to the ground.

A Sony Computer Entertainment rep talked to Kotaku and clarified what the survey was all about. "It is simply a marketing survey. The goal of it is to do focus group testing. We're just trying to find out what would resonate with the God of War community."

And the community has spoken: they want backwards compatibility with the PS2 version. However, the survey still shouldn't be taken as a guarantee that it will indeed come.

If that was the number one requested thing, that would be something that they would need to see if that was most technically feasible. Obviously with Blu-ray, we're able to put more content on the disc. But in terms of having seen God of War II on a Blu-ray disc on a debug and playing it that way, no, that's not something I've seen.



But it's the PS3 -- surely nothing is technically impossible, right?

"The survey sent hopes for backwards compatibility skyrocketing to high heavens, " I dont understand why. We are talking about people that have access to the games source code and everything else.

Sony what the freak are you doing. This is the nonsense I've been talking about. NOT ceasing a potential money maker. There's plenty of people who never played God of War, and having those 2 Ps2 games as a CE with God of War 3, will not only increase major sales for pre-existing fans, but make a ton new ones increasing the PS3 sales. Man, you're losing a potential ultimate collectors edition. Make it happen. The PS3 is not BC cause you tools took it out cause of the idiot people complaining about the price. I'm a PS3 owner, but Sony has been pissing me off lately with ridiculous statements, including not shelling some money to get DLC, and games like GTA4(despite some claims) left hanging compared to the 360 version which seems to have been a complete success.
