It's time I jump in.
If you would have told me that's a real photo that got photoshopped, I would have believed you, my god.

I don't believe I've played the same game as the lot of you.

Is that his visor shattering? I did not even know that happens!
Seriously, never seen that and the detail of the chains. Insane how much detail there is that would be impossible to see without the photo mode

Enemy focused shots.
Nice!
We've reached a point where a dev has literally over-delivered! It's difficult to appreciate most of this during normal gameplay. And SP weren't even thinking about this mode until all the community feedback! Crazy!

Ignorant question here. Does this game in motion look as good as these pics?

Surprisingly close to Killzone SF models for an open world game. Mostly just the hands look a little basic.Enemy focused shots.
For the most part, yes. There aren't any tricks going on with the photo-mode. It simply pauses the action and is still running in real time, with all the same assets and image quality. You have full control over the camera, so these pics still represent what the game looks like "in motion." The photo-mode gives you control over depth of field, so you can adjust how out of focus things get and where the focus plane is, but that's something that is built into the real-time engine anyways. Certain weather conditions already put the background slightly out of focus, when you pause the game it cranks the DOF way up, during real time cutscenes it is using DOF. So it's not some "fake" effect. The only thing that affects the look in photo-mode is you can pick several filters to alter the color, sort of like Instagram, but that is the extent of it.
This is what the game actually looks like for the most part, this mode is just letting you frame the action however you want.
what you see in these pictures is nothing else than pausing the gameplay action and moving the camera around adding just DoF if you want and some instagram filters also if you want.
In short yes the game looks like this. This is not the kind of photo mode that uses higher detailed models and additional AA. What you see is entirely in game action.
The thing is though that because this is a 3rd person game and the camera is following the player from a distance, that you cannot appreciate the huge amount of detail this game has. You cant for example see how unbelievably detailed is Delsin's chain or his shoes , or a ton of other stuff.
With this photo mode now we can see all these details and appreciate the monumental work that SP has put in this product. Its an open world game and yet the attention to detail is staggering!

Wow, that's a surprisingly well modelled butt. Can't say I've spent much time checking out the NPC's arses.

How are you guys getting these flawless captures? All mine are compressed through Twitter upload.
I heard something about the Playstation App, but I can't work it out.

I initially did mine through Twitter (not the greatest), but then I just realized that I could upload to Facebook, go to the image and choose "view full-screen" and boom, it certainly looks like the source image to me. Then you just copy the image source.

Man that shot with Delsin holding out the chain above is so badass.
Looks straight out of a movie.
Yes. That said when in motion things moves fast and I didn't notice some of the finer details they have put into this world until now that you can pause.

That boss fight was great. Reminded me of something out of DMC.

Well these pics are focused in on singular details. So, it does look this good, but you will not be focused on just the small little minute details all the time like these photos. They are not doctored or anything. You just pause the game whenever, work the camera, add some DOF, change the color scheme, etc. Its not like the renderer kicks into high gear or anything when paused lol. This is exactly how the game looks.

These detailed chain shots got me thinking...how great is God of War going to look on PS4?
