Ok, it must be the lightsource then. Though I've never came across something like that outside of some sports games "now that i remembered". Hope they add in the much needed selfshadows and HDR if it's not present yet.
Also agree on the chain textures. I really hope they're 3d instead of painted on, I would even sacrifice some body tris for those.
yes perhaps I need to see it in motion,
btw I assume your monitor is calibrated completely different to mine, those screenshots are terrible
the top one is an overbloomed greenish/bluish mess. I can make out a chain I think + perhaps a person on the right of the screen, but the rest ???!! ( is it a person swimming upstream?

Why do you guess when you can watch the video?
Hint: It is not a person and it is not swimming upstream. I've just done a lot of frame-by-frame watching of the 720p trailer from the NA PSN store. I think technically it's not far removied from other similar titles like DMC. At 44 seconds we see a very flat, textured ground. When the skeletons bundle Kratos, there's no shadowing. Indeed, there's little shadowing overall. The foliage is something special though. Loads of it, highly detailed with loads of variety. There appears to be a 'Paint effect' post process, applied alongside motion/DOF blur. Detail is obscured at a distance, but is extremely clear in close-up. This gives a false idea of low-quality texture-work IMO. Remove the effect and I think you'd see something (in the scenery) that rivals anything out there. However it's inclusion is a welcome artistic choice. We want photo-surrealism, afterall
You may want photo surrealism, but I want photo-realism.
I'm really upset that they once again decided to go for a cartoonish look.
It isn't really cartoonish. I think if they went the realistic way, without the painted textures, it wouldn't look like God of War, but Gears of War.
Personnaly, I think the flood of 30fps titles is misguiding us in our expectations we have in regards to screenshots of this game. I applaud any team that is willing to go for less impressive graphics if it rewards the gameplay and smoothness of the game.
We don't know yet if this game will run at 30 or 60 (or the native resolution of the game), so we're still guessing on the trade-off in this case. If the trade-off of having less impressive visuals come at the reward of great fluid gameplay and lots of action on screen, I think they are spot on and should be applauded for that alone.
As great as HS looked - the overall performance of the game was a shame and should have been ripped because of it. We are here to play games and have fun, not watch slide shows and marvel at screenshots.

It's like the Brumak. I hoped they'd eventually add some depth to the chains, but they didn't. At least they're using normal mapping on Kratos' chains. Also, it's good to see that his extended chains are fully modeled in detail. I would have expected them to cut corners there, since they move so fast, but they are so far looking great in screenshots.Little picky but I hope they can improve the chains around this forearms. At least use some kind of displacement/parallax mapping since its a 3rd person game with QTE which means we'll be seeing a lot of the character.
I wish that you'd be able to set a different difficulty for those button pressing sequences .... I'm barely used to the playstation controller and I can't press the triangle button in a fraction of a second. I have to think about which button that is. I'm ripping through god of war easily, but the only hard parts for me is doing some of those events.
lol, riiiiiight.
You do realize that the Reveal trailer on the VGA's was all the same footage as this trailer, in bits and pieces? Looking better...lol!
BTW, an epic kill sequence via QTE is far more entertaining than simply finishing off an enemy's health with something weak like a standard sword slash IMO. I agree that the game could be deeper for combat thought.
Don't feel bad man, I've been playing Playstation games for ages and I still have trouble with them.
Though, playing games with QTE's on both systems (360 and PS3) has greatly improved my play on both systems, as it has helped me become more familiar with each controller. I can move back and forth really easily now with little effort or thought.
Gears 2 Brumaks do have 3D chains, although with just a few links:

Actually modeling as many as Kratos has would take a lot of polygons, but it looks a bit silly this way...
The recent trailer has improved graphics compared to the VGA trailer.

That is lightning making it look like that.
And that is a huge titan climbing mount olympus, the videos level [2nd pic] takes place on the titans back
Isn't that during lightning strike or?
Becouse if that is the default environment bloom then it still is horrible looking and extremly overexposed.
the game still has a long way to go, probably wont be release until next year.
heres what the character model looks like up close even though its bull shots

I can imagine the final game will looks alot different, hopefully better than it does now. Kind of like the very first real time KZ2 trailer compare to final game.

Yes, they were taken during the lightning strikes.

Yup, I make sure I watch those trailers on my ps3 ! the contrast is completely different on the PC. Watching the Uncharted 2 trailer on My PS3 also changed it a lot....
