How did I know someone would bring that up! Lol, yes, that's an exception and not the rule for GoW 2018, I got the plat trophy so it's fair to say I played it thoroughly, when compared to previous games it's not even *near* the same level of gore.

 

[Hendrick's]

In before "iT lOokS LIke goW 2018 cROsS GEn!!!!!!"

But yeah this looks good. Lighting, geometry, materials excellent all around.

It looks crossgen AF. In all seriousness though, it looks exactly like the 2018 game which is no surprise.

I know where you're coming from with this, because most of the enemies don't have blood in them, so because it's orange or green goo that spills out it's not as "gory". But I actually think that if you replaced those effects with blood it would definitely be even more visceral than the old ones, the feeling is there.

 

[Captain Toad]

From who? Only critiques I've ever read about GoW combat are from usual people who happens to have issues with every single Sony produced title.

From time to time I still boot the Muspelheim 100 enemies challenge at GMGoW difficulty just to feel like a literal, well.. God of War.

Jason McDonald is the fucking GOAT.




The most satisfying third person combat in any game i've ever played, and people praising TLoUII melee like a sort of second coming always felt funny to me, since it's nothing more than a Mobile version of GoW melee.

I think he meant posters on here, not actual game reviewer critics.

Have to disagree though you're right about the blood colour, I was conscious of that from the very beginning.

When you think back on moments like bashing in Theseus's head with a door, slowly sawing off Hermes' leg, savagely tearing off Helios's head (with skin stretching effect!), literally beating Hercules's face to a bloody pulp or so many other fights that are still clear as day in my mind you quickly realize that yes, SSM absolutely toned things down, it is what it is.

Dat fucking combat s'gonna be glorious

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

Ah yes, an 800 x 450 rez image of gameplay, really disappointed. Pre-order cancelled.

I can confirm that Game Informer magazine picture quality is shockingly bad. It's written on newspaper quality paper no joke. Used to be better back in the day but about 5 years ago they cheaped out and started using toilet paper.

That being said I'm not seeing a difference in quality of GoW from the last time they showed it.

To be fair, Sony's last gen games already looked current gen

 

[KungFucius]

Finally a PS5 game to play. Actually Finally a high end game to play period. This year has been lame since winter.

Horizon and GT7 released within 2 weeks of each other. Not a bad year for Sony by any stretch.

[Salty Popsicle]

sorry we are the crazy ones here

If you think GOW 2018 doesn't hold up, that's your opinion I guess.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Kratos will be beating up someone what they did with the realms is impressive.

 

[sncvsrtoip]

Doesnt look as good as lou1 remake but still not bad

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

3 months away still no news. With a new unproven director and no gameplay. I'm hoping for the best. Hopefully this article gives us smth.

 

[anothertech]

LoL at the Xbox fanbois filling the thread haha. You can tell which ones never played the original.

 

[Kabelly]

looks cute

Thor and Kratos in a match. Day one, obviously.

You're replying to a news thread, that there are no news. Can't get any crazier than this.

 

[abacab driver]

No you wouldn't.

I'd believe it was DLC, personally...

Can you?

[abacab driver]

We should be seeing a meaty gameplay trailer instead of these random clips that, if I'm being honest, aren't the most flattering.

I'm thinking a state of play should hit this thursday.

 

[anothertech]

These guys gonna lose their minds in the weeks of hype leading up to this game.

Hard life after a year of nothing, ngl

 

[NeonGhost]

One cool kill doesn't make up for the complete lack of it in the rest of the game

 

[Punished Miku]

I was honestly excited to read the article. Then I realized it can be summed up as the only two things we already knew. 1) More shields. 2) The chain whip climb move.

We should wait until proper gameplay's shown.

SA about to pull a GOW III, reverse downgrade (upgrade)

Original Reveal


Final Product

Its a threat about a game being on the cover...real great information about the game.

 

[El Pistolero]

I would have been more excited if there was...let me think...Oh yes! A long action segment to accompany that dry article.
The GI guy said that we would be seeing more footage in a week or two...I certainly hope Sony won't give us the middle finger by doing away with a meaty showcase, and being content with a GOW trailer only!

 

[ChiefDada]

"But it looks the same..."

 

[ChiefDada]

Double post

[onesvenus]

"But it looks the same..."

SSR is the most distracting technique ever. It's so bad seeing light leaking on reflections because you don't have previous frame information q

 

[ElCasual]

So it's just some random journous that will tell us what they feel about the game, like i should care.

Where is the gameplay Sony? what happened to those awesome dedicated state play?

 

[Robb]

Looking good!

 

[Fess]

I'm not blown away by the visuals, Returnal looks better, then again this could be the PS4 version for all we know since it's not Sony's content but GI rushing something out to be first. Hopefully Sony will have their own Ragnarök event.

Anyhow, it'll be a long wait to see it pop up on the PS+ Premium game catalogue, hopefully to too long though.

Nothing else to do this year except to gloat about what could have been.

In before judging the texture work from that low res video. Oh wait...It's already happened.

 

[Slothbeing1209]

It looks much better than the 2018 version. Just look at the snow area comparision.
Even in those low res screenshots i can see a lot of improvement.
Btw why Game Informer video not uploaded 4k resolution @@

[Jim Ryan other Clone]

Cool for you if you're happy with this communication and marketing. I'm not.

I've no doubt this game is gonna be incredible, but this is the one of worst marketing and communication for a game i've even seen.

Wtf you want to see, You liked the first game? Then it's the same experience buffed up. What is this bullshit with marketing this, marketing that.

 

[Kagey K]

Well, a lot of those people also called it a walking simulator and an interactive movie.

In other words, they didn't play the game.

Do the same as the other game, but with a twist.

Its always something new with people. I dont think theres been a major game release without some forced controversy

Great comparison video. No disrespect to GoW 2018 but it now looks kinda goofy and cartoony beside the sequel.

 

[rofif]

I hope it's not too frantic and doesn't suffer from doom eternal sickness of ramping things up only for the sake of it.
Which is also problem with Elden ring
