Rumor: Box Art Surfaces for Mortal Kombat, Prince of Persia Collections on PS3

September 27, 2010 4:20 PM

Unconfirmed box art has surfaced for Prince of Persia Trilogy 3D and the previously rumored Mortal Kombat HD Arcade Kollection. Jeux Video (via Joystiq) claims that the Prince of Persia collection will be released in Europe on November 4, while the MK pack will ship on November 18.

Other Ubisoft collections--Rayman, Splinter Cell, Tom Clancy--are also mentioned by Jeux Video, presumably all supporting 3D like the Prince of Persia Trilogy.

Based on previous reports, the Mortal Kombat "kollection" could include versions of Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 2, and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, which is backed up by the supposed box art. The box art also shows support for 3D.

Re-releasing games in these collections is a strategy Sony is pursuing with its properties, having already released a God of War Collection and confirming Ico and Shadow of the Colossus releases at Tokyo Game Show 2010. Sly Cooper will also get a bundle, with The Sly Collection coming in the fall with Move minigames and updated 3D support for Sly 3.

So releasing high resolution versions of PS2 games is the newest fad for the PS3... Its just disgusting.

  How so? There was nothing wrong with the God of War redo, they're doing different things for the Sly Collection, and the Mortal Kombat thing is the games being redone with new graphics, etc.
  
  Did you also hate Super Mario All Stars?

  I quite like it. I prefer to own a physical product, and adding a pretty coat of paint is always nice as well. I'll likely pass, but I'd buy an up-res'd Sands of Time by itself.

  I think it's good for people like me who didn't own a PS2 but now have a PS3, I got the God of War collection and really liked GoW 1 yet to play GoW 2 though.
  
  Also looking forward to the Ico collection after hearing nothing but good things about those games.

  I'm happy they are re-releasing these games because I missed out on a lot of them and a slight visual enhancement doesn't hurt.

  Releasing high resolution versions of PS2 games >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> NOT releasing high resolution versions of PS2 games.

  I don't really see a problem with this, I've never played the God of War games (MASSIVE BACKLOG OF GAMES) and have always wanted to so someday I will pick up the high res copies. But it does seem like milking a franchise.
