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

Man, that looks really nice. There's a creepy, almost cartoony quality to that face but it looks damn impressive.

Nooooo!!
So I guess UC next year, GOW.... 2016/17? Maybe UC4 next year, GT 2016, GOW 2017
Yup, doesn't mean they can't compete to outdo each other.

In all honesty, they DID outdo their own CGI cutscenes that were present in GoW1 and 2 with 3 (and for that time, those were some mighty amazing CGI cutscenes). Just take a look at the character models in those CGI shots back in 2005 and 2007, and see the opening level in 3. It's amazing how better GoW 3's in-engine graphics look. I have all the faith in the world they can do the same this gen.

I do play them but most of them feel empty as fuck and thats the truth i can't remember the last game i played myself that I thought i'd repeat play solely due to graphics.
it's not a generation thing to me I am just saying lately the games I've played that look gorgeous feel like something isn't there (Ryse,Killzone) as my examples.
Also I haven't played last of us as of yet but i know that game is pretty well loved, so i need to try that.
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.
Both are the same in a fundamental level (I mean no disriapect)

I find it hard to disagree, y'know?
On topic, do you think they'll announce/hint at something come March 2015? It's the 10th Anniversary of GoW (can't believe it's been 10 years, honestly)

Considering what they achieved on PS3...
I believe it.
Maybe I'm just insane but I never considered GoW3 to be a looker except for the impressive scale of the boss fights. Like, people keep posting these close ups of Kratos and I just think "huh? UC games looked way better than that".

video said:
... that's 4.76 weeks straight... Even a workstation with 8x Titan Blacks would be rendering for days
Not even E3 it would seem... Game must be still pretty early.
Uncharted 2 was generally more consistent, but when GOW3 looked good, it did so ridiculously.

That CG video is outdoing Uncharted 4. So SSM's game will look even better than UC4? Must be claustrophobic linear.
No. Uncharted has terrible skin textures that look unnaturally smooth and plasticy/cartoony.

He would lose all credibility if it turned out he was lying. I believe.
If it's another GOW game then they'll propably keep the fixed camera angles which will help them to push the graphics of what is shown at any given angle. I think.
Fully agreed. I really want to see their technical prowess used in a completely different game. I also didn't really feel the GoW games. Just wasn't for me so naturally I would be happy to see a studio of their level do something new.

I'll believe it when i fucking see it. Not even UC4 looks that good.
I know right? It's just absurd that they do this.

Yup, GoW: A is arguably the best looking game of the last gen consoles and even outdoes some of the stuff on current-gen. I can totally believe it.

God of War 4 please. Didn't God of War 3 outsold Pokemon for the ds in 2010? I think it sold over 1 million.

I believe it. Ryse, Quantum Break, and Uncharted 4 have amazing faces already so a game that's not shipping until late 2016 at the earliest should look unbelievable.
Complete and utter bullshit.
PS4 isn't capable of matching that specific CGI in real-time, let alone surpassing it.
This
how many GOW games did they make? 8 maybe? that's more than enough let them be creative and make new ip

Perhaps Sony's finest tech team...I absolutely believe they will set the new standard for this generation whenever their game comes out.
I believe it. GOW3 still looks like a game that could be PS4 specific if they upped the resolution to 1080p. Even at 30fps i'd still probably get tricked if it wasn't on PS3, same with GOWA.
Order 1886 which they are helping out on already looks pretty close to earlier CG, and that's from a dev coming from handhelds so...

Don't think there's any way he'd know nothing would be ready to show 8 months from now. I don't think we'll get a demo of SSM's new game at E3 2015 but I wouldn't be surprised to see a trailer.
There are 6 God of War games, 4 come from Santa Monica. They were working on a new ip and it didn't work out.

They gave Stig the chance for a new IP and look how that turned out. Stick to what you know will sell a lot and even move some consoles, then do a new IP.

I disagree. With a great tech-art combination, you could produce results that are just as impressive.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
GOW:A wasn't exactly a huge hit.. so it's really hard to say how much cachet the series still has at this point.
I think if a new GOW hit this this holiday season or previously it would have sold very well.. considering how content starved the PS4 is.
..but in 2016? Maybe enough time will have passed that people will give a shit again.. but GOW:A felt as unnecessary as Gears of War Judgement.

Precisely the reason why it sold less than GoW3, in my opinion.
People wanted to see what happens after GoW3. I remember how disappointed I was when it was announced as a prequel. Many people most likely said fuck it at that point. But a sequel set after 3? Sign me up!
hehe...

Good point. I think both a new Gears or God of War would do really well. Ascension and Judgement were an enigma. Maybe its just the thought of having a new Gears or God of War on the new hardware that makes me think they would sell so well. Plus the thought of Mr. Barlog being at the helm of a new God of War excites me.
