Digital Foundry: First Look, God of War PS4

Game looks and will be amazing

Press X to win. :P

What’s the betting that at some point during the 25 hours you have to shave Kratos.

@SecretPolice: The combat actually looks much more complex then that.

God of War has em shock to their fanatic core.

The return of kratos. They took a big risk changing up the gameplay but I have a feeling it was the smartest move. Anything else would have felt dated and tired.

Another game that proves the best looking console games are on a Sony machine..... Poor Xbone X.

A shame how blurry those textures look. Sony went full dumbo when they decided to let the same 8GB of RAM untouched.

Not bad but they don't cut it even for the FauxK res

Wonder if he will go to hell and have to fight hades again...

Looks great. Even the gameplay looks above average. But every time I see the kid I die a bit on the inside.

But does it have dolby atmos?

Lol, Ryse actually had that, but you didn't even have to press the right button to finish the enemy off. Talk about babying the player.

its norse mythology

He prolly have to kill Thor, Loki and Odin at least.

Edit: Hel would be the queen of the underworld.

@EducatingU_PCMR: Yes because a compressed youtube video is the way to judge textures. Lets ignore the fact DF thought they looked great.

Followed a few previews and they have been surprising good. I dont like the way how sony controls the footage though. I would like to see more of what players were saying they did rather than a sony provided roll. Sounds like change but game still understands what GOW was. In a funny way it looks like the game that cuts a lot of the cinematic of the last games and gives you more depth on everything.

Looked good, but not ground breaking!

Looks incredible...and some people are starved for 9th gen platforms!!

Seriously, current gen consoles are capable of almost CGI graphics, as we can confirm by game after game. I have no rush for new hardware.

lol movie game

@rrjim1: The game itself? It will be one of the best looking games currently available.. You won't get "ground breaking" unless devs try to build only for highest spec PC hardware or a game built ground up for new consoles.

@rrjim1: your opinion is not valid since you prefer the xbone which pumps out nothing but mediocrity. Try again

I wish the gameplay is as amazing as the graphics but I highly doubt it. (Pending video watch)

I can't wait to play it. Hopefully the game will grab me more then that snooze fest Horizon. They are changing up the game so much that is scares me. I always liked the GoW series and I hope they don't ruin it.

Yeah I actually really enjoyed the past GoW games... they were different to other games in the PS portfolio. With this, whilst I'm sure it will be good, looks like it follows the generic PS game template of a good looking game with plenty of cutscenes and QTEs/simple controls... like every other game in the portfolio. Anyway, time will tell.

? This game has lems shook.

Another blockbuster AAA from Sony with amazing graphics.

"?Bu..bu...b..bu...but muh Crackhead 3 in 4K!!!11"

@loganx77: They have uncompressed pics on the written article. The texture res is pretty meh.

would look and play so much better on the Xbox X

How? lul

I'm buying it, That's the best about having all the consoles, I only turn my PS4 on when I really have a good exclusive.

Haven't turned on that bad boy in 5 months.

bbbbut ur a lem n ur shook!!11

/cows

ROFL I love it! I am so shook that I can play and enjoy (hopefully) God of War on 4-20.

I am a gamer with no titles. I support all of the platforms and understand that for the market to be healthy we need everyone kicking ass. Just look at last months sales in NA that is what I want to see ever month. I don't care who is in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd I just want sales to be healthy between all of the platforms! Yes, I will say I root for Microsoft because they are an American company, but Sony and Nintendo are awesome for what they do also.

Won't watch, I'm just looking forward to smoking some 420 on 4/20 and loading this up.

? God of War on the FlopBoneX...

@FLOPPAGE_50: your Xbox must really be dusty then? Cause that bad boy hasn’t been worth turning on since forza Horizon 3

Until tomorrow of course!

@FLOPPAGE_50: I have a X1 and can't remember the last time I turned it on. May State of Decay 2 could do it after the Scalebound debacle.

Can you imagine the stupidity and the mental gymnastics it took to post that? That post made absolutely no sense and for that reason is exempt at being humorous

Sea of Thieves is out tomorrow? Gonna at least try it out and gawk at the ocean!

Yep out tomorrow.

Whoooop, good thing I have game pass ready.

This gif looks quite brutal.

Looks good but the hatchet looks boring after a while.

I merely stated a fact. You took it personal and decided to post something that made sense in your tiny brain.

It can't be a fact if such a scenario doesn't exist. There's more to creating graphically impressive games than Tflops as Sony has shown time and time this gen.

All the power underneath the hood on your FlopBoneX and it still doesn't have a game that can stand toe to toe with Uncharted 4, Horizon or God of War.

Meaningless wishful thinking isn't a "fact". You need to go look up the definition of a fact in the dictionary you brainless lem.

Boring shit im done with Sony.

@PCgameruk: Lol, the PC trolls done with Sony...no freaking way!?!

I'm*
