God of War Collection is a remastered port of God of War and God of War II. It is the first game under Sony's line of "Classics HD." The collection features high-definition 720p anti-aliased graphics at 60 frames per second and Trophies. The port was produced as a result of feedback from fans of the series and was viewed as a means of introducing new players to the series before God of War III was released. A second collection, God of War: Origins Collection, was released in 2011.
Configuration
Options that deviate from RPCS3's default settings and provide the best experience with this title are listed below.
GPU configuration
| Setting | Option | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Framelimit | 60 | Game speed is tied to 60 FPS. Therefore, a cap is necessary to avoid speedup and a locked performance of 60 FPS is required to stop the game from slowing down. |
Recommended patches
Game patches are available through the RPCS3 Patch Manager. To enable them, right-click a game in RPCS3 then select "Manage Game Patches". Game Patches are created by RPCS3's community, and can alter how a game runs. More information can be found here.

Known Issues
Issues from the games themselves
God of War games have some bugs in their original release, even on a real PS3 (remaster collection) or PS2. They may or may not be happening more often on RPCS3, but they aren't emulator bugs. In GoW1 Pandora's Box may not appear in the room, and in GoW2 the event in titan's cave might not trigger halting progression. Restarting the game can fix the issue but you might have to do it a few times. The reason for this has never been identified, and looks to be an engine issue.

"Requires \"Stretch To Display Area\" checked in the GPU settings. Restores original viewport size from PS2 releases. The remastered versions of the first two games handled a 16:9 aspect ratio by cropping out 25% of the vertical viewport instead of expanding the horizontal FOV."

"Like the PS2 releases, the remastered versions of the first two games handle 16:9 aspect ratio by cropping out 25% of the vertical viewport instead of expanding the horizontal FOV. This patch fixes it and makes the game render in proper 16:9."
