If you'll allow me to put on my old man hat for a moment, I remember a time when game developers would wait for a respectable interval before remaking a game. You could reasonably expect to see five or 10 years between a great game and its re-release, but with the advent of the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4, that window has been shrinking. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel? Dark Souls II? The Last of Us? I have food in my pantry that's older than these games, and yet they've already been gussied up for current-gen consoles, dragging full 1080p resolutions and 60 frames-per-second frame rates behind them, sometimes kicking and screaming in protest. And, of course, the games usually cost full price, even if you've bought them before. Why is the games industry so enamored of HD remasters right now, particularly ones that add so little to a game's core experience? Furthermore, with widespread Xbox 360 backward compatibility on the way, are remasters doomed to go the way of the Virtual...

From the review: "A solid title, not because of improvements made during the remastering process, but rather the strength of the original creation. Sure, it looks a little bit nicer, and the photo mode is a nice addition, but this is primarily the same game that it was five years ago."

MyGaming: "Kratos, very nearly videogames angriest resident, has returned once again for another round with God of War III Remastered, and like always, no one is going to get in his way. Considered by many fans to be one of the best games in the franchise, God of War III originally released for the PS3 to great critical success, and its finally arrived on the PS4 it was inevitable really."

Ken McKown writes: Remastering games is nothing new for this console generation. We have seen almost every relevant franchise return in some form or fashion. With a lack of backwards compatibility on PS4 (and Xbox One for the most part, though they did just introduce it) companies can make a quick buck on sprucing up last generations titles and tossing in all the DLC that came along with them. God of War III sits in a weird section of this phenomenon. The game is still one of the best action games of last gen, and its visuals are some of the best the PS3 produced. It had no DLC, and a rather brief campaign. So why bring it into the PS4 generation? Why not a collection at least including Ascension?

Kratos is back (sort of) in God of War 3: Remastered. Does Kratos' rage-filled story deserve another go or is this one remaster you should consider skipping?

This year we celebrated the 10th anniversary of God of War, and we at to PS4 today. For many God of War fans God of War III was one of the most epic titles on PS3, and the game is still one of our studio's proudest accomplishments.
