Speculation Abounds Over Potential PS5 Remaster of God of War Trilogy
Summary
– Rumors suggest that the original God of War trilogy may be remastered for the PS5, but the source of these rumors is considered unreliable.
– The first three God of War games, already remastered for the PS3, might see a new release on Sony’s latest console.
– The source’s credibility, Nick Baker from the Xbox Era podcast, is questioned due to past inaccurate PlayStation rumors.
The gaming community is abuzz with rumors that the original God of War trilogy could return on the PS5. These speculations were fueled by comments made by Nick Baker on the Xbox Era podcast. However, the reliability of this source is under scrutiny, given Baker’s track record with PlayStation rumors.
God of War 3 has already seen a re-release on the PS4 and is playable on the PS5 through backward compatibility. The first two games in the series and their PSP counterparts were remastered for the PS3, sparking a trend of HD re-releases of popular PS2 titles. However, the PS5 cannot natively play PS3 games, which could justify a potential remaster for the latest console.
Baker’s comments about the possibility of a remaster raised questions about the nature of this release. Would it be a straightforward port of the PS3 versions or something more akin to a remake? His past predictions, including a new Infamous game and a Sly Cooper project, which never materialized, cast doubt on the accuracy of his latest claim.
Despite these rumors, Sony has no official confirmation about returning the original God of War games. The recent God of War Ragnarok Valhalla add-on, which has strong ties to the PS2 titles, might be a reason for Sony to consider such a move for preservation purposes. However, for now, these rumors remain speculative.
