Slightly OT but this looks too amazing and I need the whole set in my room now!
Wow is that real-time?
SMS Internal testing on a 13 TF, 24 GDDR6 PS5 devkit, I expect the sequel to look much better.
No AF though.
I don't know, the material shaders look a lot like plastic.

I'm guessing those three statues will set you back a grand? If they aren't sold out on them already of course.
More like 3 grand judging by Prime 1's usual asking price, though their quality and craftsmanship are well worth it.

3 Grand? Sheesh. How tall are these things? I have a bunch of 1/6 scale statues and a Hot Toys Iron Man. They were about €200 each.

Just checked out a bunch of their other stuff. €1000 for a quarter scale figurine is really hefty. That's almost 3 times as much as a similarly sized figurine from a company like Sideshow.
OK, started playing this.
I understand building this story or narrative but it's already getting tedious the whole thing with Kratos teaching eager beaver son and I'm still early in the game.
Definitely the story isn't as engaging as UC4, which I had just finished playing.
Also, I'm not interested in learning skills to advance through the game. What I liked about the original GoW was that you could just button-mash and power your way through the game, see the gorgeous visuals.
The control mechanics seem so stiff compared to what I remember of the previous games. For one thing, I haven't seen how to quickly turn around when there are attackers from behind Kratos. I have to rotate the camera with the R stick to make him face other enemies behind him? Really?
I must be missing something, it can't be that lame.
Also, there's no good melee attack when you're surrounded by several enemies, which all take more hits to kill off than it takes to kill Kratos? Nothing like him spinning the axe around and throwing off enemies surrounding him. I picked up some R1/L1 attack but that's limited
I chose the middle setting but maybe I should choose the easiest setting.
The levels and the way he navigates them, including climbing cliffs but not being able to jump like Nathan does makes GoW look poor in comparison. I understand platforming is not a thing in GoW. Just unfortunate that I'd just played UC4, with it's more stunning environments and the way you move around in them, right before I started on this. The control is so much more responsive in UC4 too. Kratos moves like molasses sometimes, especially not being able to turn around fast.
How did GoW getting a higher average Metacritic score than UC4?
Don't worry about that, soon you will have plenty of new abilities (you'll need to learn them). But yes, it's much less button mashing that the previous games. Also about that don't you remember one of the first cutscenes when he hides something from his son?
From memory you shoud be able to quickly turn around (I think the pad down button).
What you said about the controls tells me that your are playing at 30fps. Do you have a Pro ? If yes you should play using the high framerate mode. It completely changes the responsiveness (I think there is 3 times less latency in that mode).
No Pro, just the OG PS4.
I really don't want to go through the whole upgrade weapons/skills process either.
Tomb Raider had that and it was tedious.
In UC4, you see all these weapons you pick up but I mostly went for that sniper rifle whenever I could because it was one shot to kill most enemies and maybe 3 shots to kill the armored ones.

@wco81 I think you should forget both UC4 and old GoW games because this one plays very differently. The combat in this one is probably the most interesting aspect of the game IMO. It's an interesting mix of combat. I'd say it's very well done but you need to play along with it and eventually you'll learn to like it. ;-)

Well if you're a Collision Modeler, apply!
Oh I also have this on disc I think. Damn!!
Me too, and I haven't finished it. Last played it sometime last year. I think I'll just play it from the beginning again.
