The name was spotted on the European packaging of The Sly Collection, this implies this is could be a new line of games that see titles from the PS2 library receive a HD upgrade and ported to the PS3.

Sony Europe have had something to say on the subject in the form of ‘Classics HD,’ is the name given to any older game that has been adapted to be in HD, with trophy support to be played on PS3. The only examples of these games so far are the God of War Collection and the recently announced Sly HD Collection.” In America Sony has no created a Classics HD line thus far which does point towards Classics HD only being applied to the rare cases of older titles being given the HD treatment such as God of War.

With so many classics in the PS2’s library such as Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, Kingdom Hearts and more a Classics HD line would be more than welcomed.

Shinji Hashimoto had recently asked Final Fantasy fans for their opinions on the 9^th instalment of the franchise that enjoyed success of the Playstation 1, on Friday night Shinji Hashimoto had tweeted a message than hinted towards Final Fantasy 9 joining 7 and 8 on the PSN network.

A translation of his tweet (by Andriasang) is as follows “Thanks to everyone for your opinions on FF9. Regarding an FF9 download release, everyone is so passionate about it that I’ll be proposing it at the next board meeting. Look forward to next week!”

PSN has already seen Final Fantasy 7 & 8 released so it was only a matter of time before 9 was on its way, however don’t expect to see 9 in the next few weeks as it’s only just about to be proposed in the coming week. Expect a official announcement soon.

However, if JRPGs aren’t your thing you could try out Resident Evil 5 in case you missed it last time in the all new Gold Edition complete with DLC or perhaps some kind of Samurai related game?

*All Release Dates Subect To Change

After the announcement that the highly anticipated God of War 3 will not end on a cliffhanger, many fans thought that this could be due to the story coming to a close, however, this is not the case. Steve Caterson, representing the studio, said “Well, God of War III is the end of the trilogy,” he then continued to say “We didn’t leave you on a cliffhanger but I think it’s not the end of the franchise. I’m looking forward to do something different if we can.”

It’s probably not worth hoping for a direct sequel, however there could be a few spin-offs and sub stories in the distant future.

Until then you’ve got God of War 3, released on March 16th in the US and March 19th in Europe.

The description of the trailer and game is as follows…

Born the son of a poor immigrant, Vito is a beaten down Italian American who is trying to escape the life of poverty that consumed his childhood. It was on the streets that Vito learns that joining the Mafia is the only route to wealth and respect for people of his standing. Wanting to escape the life of hardship that his father led, he dreams about becoming a “Made Man.”

A petty criminal his whole life, Vito, along with his childhood friend, Joe, will descend into the world of organized crime. Together, they will work to prove themselves to the Mafia as they try to make their names on the streets. Starting with low-level jobs like robbery and stealing cars, Vito and Joe escalate quickly up the Mafia family ladder…but the life as a wise guy isn’t quite as glamorous as it seems.
