Figured this might be fun.  

Been a while since I played so much on PS3. Only a few hours into the first one.

Graphics:
There are two types of cutscenes: okay and really bad.  
The really bad ones look like they were rendered on a PS2.
The okay ones look great except they look like it's being watched on a SDTV.  But they look like they are using a full res Kratos' model and stuff.  

Gameplay looks pretty consistent and looks substantially better than the cutscenes.  
There's some weird things like Kratos' standing in front of the lights to save causes him to lose his AA or something.  That's how it looks at least.  

Gameplay:

Stunning.  Ridiculously fluid.  Kratos' has a ridiculous number of combos and it's all done so fluidly.  
It's not perfect.  There are a few games I would say control better, but it's pretty dang great.

There are some bad cutscenes that look way worse than that. That one looks pretty good actually. 

Gameplay tends to look better than in that image. 

But that's the kind of quality difference.

I need to join you on playing Gow 1 & 2. I loved 3.

Hey just found out you're not actually ka Pi. My mind is blown!

Anyway the god of war trilogy is great. Graphical master pieces on the ps2 and ps3. Chains of Olympus is just alright but ghost of sparta was epic especially considering it was a psp game. Ascension again was decent.

Have you played god of war ps4?

Are you going to play them all in order?

In order, but i don't know if I will play them all.  

Might not get the PSP games or Ascension.  We shall see.

No offence but yes!

Anyway it you aren't going to play them all I'd rank the others in this order

1. Ghost or sparta
2. Ascension
3. Chains of Olympus

Good news is, if you decide to play god of war ps4 after all of this you shouldn't feel burnt out. The ps4 game is dramatically different in a lot of ways and it almost feels like a different genre which imo is a good thing.

I'm not worried about burn out, but I'll keep the list in mind!

You're right, I should have pressured my Uncle who worked at Sony more.
