Sony Santa Monica apparently out-doing CGI with their new game.
- Thread starter Corpsepyre
- Start date
SSM is one of the studios that I'm most curious to see what they do on PS4. If they do another GoW, I would love for them to keep the static camera and go for a full 60fps instead of the usual unlocked framerates that they aim for. Game would still look gorgeous and would allow the combat to really shine.
Open world != Good
I hate this notion and it's almost turned into a buzzword. A linear game can be good, or it could be bad. Same goes for open world.

Will we be able to move the camera around freely in GOW4? If so, then I'll be wowed.

Not sure about that as they are already pretty damned close. I mean this is running in real time.
This is still pretty much launch window 1st wave stuff.

I await for Mr. Krato's bloody return.

This face:
Makes me think of:
He also could just be referring to a single specific aspect of it like the eyes or animation, since he mentions "some" things looking better but not the overall quality.
Regardless, it's a passive statement and people are running wild with it. It's embarrassing when you know people are setting themselves up for disappointment.
I kind of assumed this..... Jaffe always talked about a power struggle with the other pantheons once Kratos wiped out the Greek gods
Oh yeah, I'm agreeing with you. I was just saying even if he was correct in saying that they have something that looks better, I highly doubt it was the whole package. Just one small piece.

Yeah fetch quests and collecting stuff would really spice things up...

May as well start building the hype now to ensure a 200-page GAF disappointment/outrage/petition-spawning thread.
Any developer claiming to reach modern pre-rendered CG quality in a video game is automatically talking out of their ass.
Seriously. Stop entertaining these people's crazy statements already.

Yeah, nah, this is what happens when you severely limit the scope of your game and put a massive focus on graphics above all else.Not sure about that as they are already pretty damned close. I mean this is running in real time.

With what RAD has been doing with The Order 1886, Naughty Dog's tease with UC4, and Quantic Dream's wizard tech demo, you know just know Santa Monica's PS4 project is going to look spectacular also.

A game coming out 15 months after launch is launch window?

The Order looks good but not that good. Also there are three flaws in your postNot sure about that as they are already pretty damned close. I mean this is running in real time.
This is still pretty much launch window 1st wave stuff.
1. The Order is rendering 25% less pixels than other 1080p games.
2. More than a year after launch is not launch window.
3. A lot is hidden behind film grain from what I've seen.
Better graphics than CGI on a PS4? I don't believe it.

I hope their next game is not GOW, I can't play that series the gratuitous gore/violence is too much and I can't get into the game. I'd like to hope they do something a bit deeper and more universally appealing.

3.5 billion sales confirmed?
It's just a shame to see ps2 era gameplay still being peddled.

But is it s good game?
I want a "next-gen" gaming experience, not just better graphics.

To people questioning whether we "need" these levels of graphics, just remember that part of Sony's next-gen plans are VR. We may not "need" it, but high levels of graphics will surely make VR even neater.
It's not even about that. AAA game makers have always strived for the cutting-edge.

Of course, but to some extents cutting-edge graphics in terms of extreme close-up detail (e.g. faces) is going to become more and more important. It'll be interesting to see how facial animation and such improves for VR immersion.

Not actually that important
God with Cory?! It will be Gory! I mean, Goty!
That really wasnt that far off from what we got in GOW3

Just think how awesome it will look when Kratos fucks and murders some next gen naked women.
I'm gonna feel like such a badass.

This could mean anything, of course a crazy looking GEN8 game, being in real time with physics, A.I. and so on, can top that on the technology side of things. But if you're expecting those kind of visuals in gameplay then you're delusional, that's still 10-15 years away at least.
Facial animation is actually the opposite of what's preached for VR.
That's what I meant. This is just SSM being SSM.

Now if only they can remember to add the gameplay this time. GOW 3 frontloaded the best parts into the first 20 minutes and it was all downhill from there.

Let me rephrase that its still first wave stuff as in its a part of the games that were revealed before the system was out so its still very early in the consoles cycle and before developers know all of the nuances of the system. Is that better?
I do agree with you that it does look better than the Order which is why I said "Close"
1. Has absolutely nothing to do with the price of tea in China.
2. See above correction.
3. Film Grain? You're confusing the order with The Evil Within. The order does not seem to have a film grain there have been scenes with dust particles everywhere but most of the more recent things are very clear.
So you know the full scope of the game? please enlighten me as I am very interested, how long is the game? How in depth is the destruction system? Are limbs the only body parts that you can blow off? How long did it take you to complete the game?

Edited to add
On the subject of Kratos I hope they change Pantheons and Protagonist as the Greek Pantheon has been done to death. Literally in this series.

This looks great. But if this makes games take much longer to be developed and costs much more.... Then let's not go this far.
