A user just recently posted this video to Cory Barlog's Twitter (Director at SSM), showing some truly impressive CGI at work, and said that this should be their new challenge, i.e to reach such visual fidelity on the PS4. Here's the video.

Cory's reply?

'challenge accepted! Actually the stuff we have now is topping that.'

This is pretty fucking amazing. What is SSM cooking behind those doors?

And to think that they'll have BETTER looking models than THAT? Astounding.

This team is going to blow minds and then some once they show their new game.

God of War 4 'bout to melt faces.

It's crazy that a developer would claim their upcoming project is going to look awesome.

Nightengale · Oct 23, 2014

Maybe,but let's wait till there's substantial news of this rather than a twitter response.

Sony PlayStation 4 Computer Entertainment System can out-do computer generated graphics. In your face computers!

I'm looking forward to this creepy hand-puppet game.

ChosenPredator · Oct 23, 2014

I feel like all the games with these pretty graphics are missing something else in them...I don't want to be blinded by glorious graphics anymore

bananafactory · Oct 23, 2014

Considering how good GOW3 and Ascension looked, I believe him. Cannot wait to see some of it.

thelastcrusader · Oct 23, 2014

God I love SSM. Everything they touch turns to gold.

MacH1nation · Oct 23, 2014

People saw how good GOW 3 looked right? SSM is going to be one of the first to make the PS4 sing in terms of graphics, and it is going to be glorious. Even more so if its for a new GOW.

I do. Especially on new hardware.

littlegrasshopper · Oct 23, 2014

This footage looks great and all but I am more than confident that they will have to downgrade those graphics with the PS4's hardware when they add in everything else to the scene. I am sure if the PS4 was only rendering that it would look just as good as the video.

Anybody can post a cool looking video setting some kind of bar. Clearing your own bar is the proof you need to show.

I'll just wait and see.

Actually, some friends have said the same about me, i.e I should be working in marketing and not as a lawyer. I don't know why it comes off like that.

PsihoPerihelion · Oct 23, 2014

Game dev talks wonders about their next project. Shocking!

An ad for what?

It just reads like someone being insufficiently skeptical and overhyping themselves based on almost nothing.

Please god Yes.

God of War with Cory at the helm will be Godly

Seeing what they did with God of War 3? We will see lol. Uncharted 4 was right at the level of that video

Well, the team has backed up their talk with their products in the past. So, here's hoping it really is how he's saying it.

These actually are some of the most talented (graphic wise) devs in the entire industry, so I don't think he's bullshiting, if gow3 and ascension are anything to go by, they can and will melt faces.

chicagocubsfan · Oct 23, 2014

Oh man Kratos is gonna looked 100x more pissed with that kinda fidelity.

hastethedav · Oct 23, 2014

I have no issues believing SSM will melt our eyeballs with whatever they come out with next. To this day GOW3 makes me pause and stare

HK-47 · Oct 23, 2014

They are outdoing CGI with CGI!

That's cool, don't buy it. If it is a new GOW then its going to look absolutely ridiculous.

kulapik · Oct 23, 2014

They're outdoing CGI? SSM making FMV game confirmed.

They're not going to make one considering how bad GOW:A's sales were. Unless of course, they're suicidal and think their recent layoff wasn't enough.

jackissocool · Oct 23, 2014

Considering what they achieved on PS3...

I believe it.

RE_Player · Oct 23, 2014

SSM is among my top favourite studios and their output has been incredible both in their own games and the ones they have assisted on... but please don't be God of War.

Vulcano's assistant · Oct 23, 2014

I don't know how I feel about Kratos smashing such a realistic face into a pulp.

If Cory's directing I want it bad.

Dragonborn · Oct 23, 2014

I want nothing more than God of War on PS4. It's going to blow everyone away! The battle between SSM and ND continues this gen.

Quixz · Oct 23, 2014

My face is ready

FinalStageBoss · Oct 23, 2014

That god of war is going to look crazy.

Grisby · Oct 23, 2014

After seeing God of War 3, I believe it.

Tagyhag · Oct 23, 2014

Ha, a single Titan can barely run Transformers in real time at 1 fps (an impressive feat nonetheless). I can see SSM's next game looking fantastic, and maybe topping early CGI, but it's not going to beat modern standards.

So? Don't play them.

Me and millions of others want games you can't get on last gen hardware. I don't think that's wrong to ask for on new $400 hardware.

Wow. Do you read what you're saying?

Ascension was a prequel and it's focus was planted on the MP. No God of War fan wanted to see another prequel. It was obvious the sales would be low compared to GoW3. Know how GoW3 sold? Pretty well! And if this is a proper sequel to that game, then chances are that sales will be through the roof.

I wanted to post this, stupid heading.

The video in OP is very impressive, will be another gen before we see that kind of detail on main characters in a video game.

Dawg · Oct 23, 2014

I like to believe Cory had a hand in the amazing God of War 3 intro before he left SSM.

pixxxelz · Oct 23, 2014

God of War 4 or bust

Considering their games were the best looking PS3 games, I don't doubt them at all.

If you watch the behind the scenes for God of War 3, it certainly paints a picture that was Stig Asmussen's baby.

Pfft. Has nothing on this:

PeregrinSe7en · Oct 23, 2014

yes!!!! more god of war please!

Ishan · Oct 23, 2014

After seeing what nd are doing with uc4 . Yup can def see this happening . It's ssm who match mad graphics wise with a whole extra year of dev time . (Not to mention they might have already had a bit of a jump before hand don't gow3 come out before uc3 so their team might have been working on next gen tools longer than nd). Nd and ssm will melt faces this gen ... Might actually even get a literal melting face in gow lol. (Also similar vein I'm sure 343 will be impressive with halo5 but I think nd/ssm will edge them . Better or not dev team wise sony have the stronger hardware)

Sony Santa Monica apparently out-doing CGI with their new game.
