Jesus my jaws dropped like a rock this is easily the best looking game of E3 2017, the World Serpent alone killed anything that's shown. So much better than the reveal demo too, the kid is really growing on me now especially the interaction with old man Kratos.
It's gonna be March 2018 ain't it ?

 

[Recop]

Unbelievable that it runs on a standard PS4, because it's the best looking game of E3 to me. Spiderman is the close second.

 

[RenegadeRocks]

THey have managed to keep a fast pace to the gameplay even with the new closed in camera. I am impressed .
The father son interactions feel right and the boy does combos within combat which feels awesome ! This is good !

Maybe Spiderman is PS4 standard the only video with GOW without 4k on youtube...

Like Chris1515 said, trailer was game running on standard PS4 and they can do better on pro.
The boat sequence is playable and you can get off whenever you want to explore the world.
Game is heavily story driven, not fully open world but big enough for exploration.
Combat mechanic is fluid and dynamic kratos axe is main weapon combined with his son's abilities as assist.
Game is already playable from start to finish but there still ltos of work to do.

Combat looks really smooth. can feel GOW gore & violent stylish DNA here

It really looks magnificent.

Unreal! The model quality, texture res, lighting, shaders and image quality are mind blowing. This is next level for me, SSM is frighteningly talented.

Also, it's a real pleasure to see other engines than Unreal 4 or Frosbite.

"They can do better on Pro"

They better do better in Pro! Now that XOXOX is being pushed hard, Sony better roll up their sleeves and start pushing Pro enhancements hard.

Exactly. So far, i had the impression that they wanted to keep the same experience on both consoles apart from a resolution upgrade.

With the X, it's time to let the PS4 lags behind if it can't follow.

I'll be super content if the Pro does 4k Checkerboard with improved AF, the game looks nuts already on the OG but it would be interesting to see SSM's take on how to utilize the extra power. HDR tho, is a must.

And the game should look even better at release.

It's borderline CGI especially when it animates and we haven't even seen its full body yet. Also the water cascading down its body when it raised out of the water was so organic the attention to detail was crazy.

Exactly. I don't remember a cinematic giving me this feeling so well. But it might look completely wrong for an expert though.

The camera was a little too close to Kratos during gameplay.

The guy mocking him was great. Wonder who that was?

 

[BadTB25]

I think the graphics look really great. That world serpent scene is pretty awesome although I wanted to see some combat against it. That said, the change in perspective and gameplay really is a letdown for me. It takes away from the combat appeal of the other God of War games for me.

This could almost be any other game than a God of War game and might have been better served as a new IP.

"Kratos, the horse ain't coming back. It's time to let go of the horseshoe. It ain't gonna need one where it's at now.

Liek, OMeGADs, you have a son to think about."

Come on it's Loki, you can tell his treacherous nature from how unwelcoming Kratos has reacted with the ax. Tho I believe it's not his final form, I imagine him eventually morphs into a 600 ft tall boss fight.

 

[AlNom]

It'd be refreshing if he didn't feel the need to kill 9/10 gods.

I see he has ripped someone's head off for his flashlight too.
