We touched on this in a dreamy way yesterday, but today, letâs look at it a little more seriously: now that God Of War 1 & 2 are being re-released on Blu-Ray, can we expect other series to follow suit?

âWe are constantly exploring unique ways to expose players to some of our legacy titles such as Metal Gear Solid and Silent Hillâ, a Konami representative told us. âRe-releasing games on Blu-ray presents an exciting opportunity for a publisher, however we have no announcements at this timeâ.
âI donât want anyone reading this the wrong way (as Iâm not saying anything like this could happen) but Iâm seeing some interested for DMC to get this treatmentâ, said Capcomâs Christian Svensson, posting on the companyâs Unity forums. âAre there other titles youâd like see go this way? Iâm looking for some temperature readingsâ.
âWeâre always looking at new ways of getting content on PS3â, Sonyâs Patrick Seybold told us, âbut as of now, [God of War] is the only one planned.â
Square Enix, sadly, refused to offer comment.
So, as you can see, no outright confirmation that similar projects are in the pipeline elsewhere (or indeed at Sony for other series), but definitely some encouraging words. You can bet somebody, somewhere is looking at the God of War collection and imagining something similar for Silent Hill, or Metal Gear Solid, or even Onimusha.
Movie fans love the Criterion Collection because it takes old movies and breathes new life into them; itâs about time video game fans were given something similar.
