I think it's going to be a pretty good game, certainly no Persona 5, but you know, we can't all be gods gift to Earth, so that's forgivable.

You accidentally made it an anonymous thread. I fixed it. Really not sure why that happens to some people.







I'm stoked for GOW. The hype is building!!!!! Haven't seen any footage since E3 so I'm in for some surprises I hope.

I usually do it when there's pre order offers. Like I preordered about 5 games at the same time and got a total of £20 off on Amazon. I can always cancel them later as well.

About 93 perhaps. But you're right it's hard to predict the whole game. However, the image they've built of it is immense, and people are gobbling it up. That's what will help most with early sales. Legs depend on the rest of the game and word of mouth

I wouldn't say that. It still has action based combat. Often facing off against large groups of enemies. It still has some parkour. And of course we're yet to see what they do with boss fights yet, but those could still be quite similar.

Yeah that's why it started out with a 96 on metacritic. It only dropped down to a 93 after the late reviews.
Exactly! 93+ is guaranteed!
Sony sure expects something great but a lot of studios have been blindsided by reviews. Internal fake reviews can be pretty far from what actually ends up happening.

Over 10 days left and I'm surprised how high this is trending on various amazons around the world. Even in Japan where this series isn't popular it's #10.

If reviews are 90+ the hype will be insane and so will the sales. Surely it will be by far the biggest launch ever especially with the ps4 and pro in their primes and dominating the market.

I can see why Sony didn't permanently cut the price last holiday. They were confident their line up for the first half of 2018 would maintain good sales.

BTW can someone link me to the sports forum. Can't find it

I can see why Sony didn't permanently cut the price last holiday. They were confident their line up for the first half of 2018 would maintain good sales.

BTW can someone link me to the sports forum. Can't find it
I don't think we have an official sports forum. I've been posting that stuff in the General Discussion thread, which should be on the front page.

Well uncharted 3 was similar to all those previous so easy to suffer from fatigue. This will be vastly different to previous god of wars so you shouldn't get that.

Think I might replay God of war 3 before to get hyped and because I won't feel fatigued playing the new one after.

I said Uncharted 4 not Uncharted 3.  :P The differences with 4 compared to the previous ones were a big reason I didn't like it as much. At times it felt like Uncharted 4 went against what made the previous ones so great.

I've debated playing GOW 3 or ascension but I played the Uncharted collection before Uncharted 4 released and I feel that decreased my enjoyment of the game, so for this GOW I'm thinking I'll go in as blind as possible and embrace that this is more of a spin off than a direct sequel.

I think some people are saying to temper expectations. Its not unanimously positive, and has some doubters. It feels like an Uncharted 4 type situation, rather than TLOU or BOTW etc.

Anyone think Kratos will die in this game (for real), having Atreus taking over as God of War?

Also, 'Atreus' is suspiciously similar to Ares...
Title: Re: God of War (PS4) Hype Thread
Post by: Legend on Apr 11, 2018, 07:59 PM
The last footage of the game I saw was the e3 trailer.

I don't expect kratos to be replaced. At first I was worried he'd be replaced since shinobi said he wasn't in the game. Then it felt like the e3 demo could have just been a tutorial and kratos would be replaced early on, but the e3 trailer a year later confirmed it was truely a kratos game and all the marketing focuses on kratos. Killing him off would be beyond stupid. Plus the kid has a generic face. He might be super big in the game but in the marketing he is not treated as a character like kratos.

Take Halo 5 for example. Almost all the marketing was trying to make locke feel like an equel to MC. He was treated like he was the master of his story.

Same goes for tlou. Ellie and Joel are equals and just from marketing and cut scenes you wouldn't know who the main character was.



(But I do hope kratos dies. It isn't gow if he isn't crawling out of his own grave)

-It's not just a Sony thing...  The vast majority of devs make 30 fps games for consoles...

I'm also not sure if decades of 60 fps actually happened.  The game might have been updating the picture very 1/60th of a second, but that doesn't mean that the whole game got updated that quickly.

I wonder that myself.  I think people look at framerates on emulators and just assumed it was 60fps (You know, that Ocarina of Time running at 18fps on n64 vs 59fps on project64).  I very distinctly remember reading a review for Street Fighter Alpha 3 (Maybe gamepro) and they said "runs at a solid 30fps".

5 million first guys? Seriously? That's almost double what uncharted 4 did. And that was hyped to death and recieved similar scores.

I'm thinking over 2 million is possible. Hard, but certainly possible.

It'll be the biggest launch in the US by far for a Sony game I think. It's tracking for it according to a sales insider on Era.

Over 2m is certain, not just possible lol. Question is, will it just be 3-3.5m or go beyond that?

Yeah but uncharted's strengths are outside of the USA for the most part. If I remember correctly it just sold 1 million in the USA in its first month.

GoW has traditionally been weaker in EU, and that's a huge market, if not the biggest for PS4. While I think this game will help the franchise grow there, I don't think it will be as strong as UC4. So It will even things out. GoW certainly has a bigger install base now than when UC4 did, almost 35 million more, which will help it.

But I don't think you guys understand how big. 5-6 million opening week is. That's how much uncharted sold in months.

"over 1m" and that didn't include digital iirc.

This iteration will definitely be more popular in the rest of the world than previous ones, as it's not (basically) just a glorified gore simulator lol.

But we'll see soon enough. It will top uncharted 4 for sure imo

Remember uncharted 4 had a lot of help from the good word of mouth that TLoU built. Naughty Dog are the shame and considered as one of the best, if not the best Dev around. And TLoU helped a lot with the hype for uncharted.

While SSM certainly proved that they still got it, and are a fantastic studio after ascension under delivered. Their name doesn't spark awe like ND does.

Over uncharted 2's massive 2.7 million in one week is a very very tough thing to achieve. I personally don't think it will, but if Im hoping and predicting between 2-2.4 million. Which would be massive.

That game was absolutely huge in Japan though, and big in the west. It was an anomaly which hasn't really happened before (launching at the same time in Japan as the rest of the world as well).

It depends how much bigger GoW will be than MH in the west. I think 4m is the ceiling.

God of War is another tech powerhouse for PS4 • Eurogamer.net (https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2018-god-of-war-tech-analysis)

Bit about Pro advantages

"It's a visual showcase whether you're playing on a regular PlayStation 4 or the 'super-charged' PS4 Pro, which features one of the finest implementations of checkerboard rendering we've seen to date with a level of clarity not far from native 4K - at least perceptually. That's the thing about checkerboarding - it's almost akin to interlace versus progressive scan. If you look closely at a still image, you can see visible artefacts because of the checkerboard technique - during normal gameplay, however, the effect is convincing.

Ultimately, while the debate will continue to rage about the effectiveness of the technique, checkerboarding makes a lot of sense here - it would be impossible to render a game like God of War at native 4K on a PS4 Pro while maintaining a smooth frame-rate, and the visual payback compared to some of the 1800p and 1620p games we've seen is self-evident. As you might expect, the regular PS4 delivers a 1080p presentation. Pro offers greatly enhanced image quality but the rest of the visuals are mostly equivalent between the two save for slight variation in ambient occlusion - which makes sense as the extra hardware is put to use in massively increasing the pixel count rather than boosting fidelity. All versions are clean thanks to an excellent anti-aliasing solution which handles edges and temporal artefacts quite well. Texture filtering is also generally of good quality across both platforms."

"When using checkerboard 4K mode, the game does a reasonably good job of holding steady at 30 frames per second in most scenes, with even intense battles that pile on the visual effects sticking mostly to the target frame-rate with only small pockets of dropped frames. It's not quite perfect though, and some effects-heavy scene will see performance drop. Thankfully, this is more of an exception than the rule and most of the game delivers a stable 30 frames per second, but it's not a perfect lock.
Is performance mode the answer? Well, there's a significant increase in frame-rate when you trade in the vast pixel-count for standard 1080p. A stable 60 frames per second is off the table here and the frame-rate is left to run wild instead with noticeable judder. What this mode basically delivers is something more in line with, say, God of War 3 or Ascension on PlayStation 3. The frame-rate averages in the mid to upper 40s most of the time during any skirmish while some of the quieter moments can jump up to or around 60fps. It's not our cup of tea, but if Sony follows Microsoft's example and embraces FreeSync technology, it may improve matters. As it is, it's a nice option then for those that prefer the fastest possible performance and don't mind the judder you get from uneven frame-rates on a 60Hz display."

So performance mode in 1080p is only for pro owners? Regular ps4 doesn't get that option?

So a 1080p TV owner can choose resolution mode and it will downsample with 30fps on the pro? Or is it just 1 option for 1080p owners

The biggest reason why USPS loses money is because they're required to put away billions for future retirees.  They're required to put away more than $5.5 billion yearly.  

Without it, they would have made money in 2016.

Yeah I love the tone here. Its a shame he doesn't react to walking under that though.

Why would he react? He's the boss. Tree will move out of the way if it's too close

Agreed! Sometimes when you walk in a game knowing next to nothing it can really blow you away.

I literally knew nothing about red dead redemption when I first played it, other than it was "gta but with horses". I was blown away by it. Same with the TLoU. Heck I entered into the game not knowing why Elie and joel were paired up. I just watched the first trailer, first cut scene they showed, and first gameplay, that was it.

Yeah going in blind always helps the experience. All I've seen of this game is the e3 trailers and a little bit of other gameplay videos.

I went in blind to TLOU too, knew absolutely nothing about it at all (no trailers). Breath of the Wild the same, and those two are special games to me. There are definitely some moments that would have been ruined by watching too many trailers/ videos.

Anyway just completed gow3 on titan. Easy peasy until zeus fight which probably took me 90mins. Very hard and needed to Google some tips.

Anyway proud of that platinum. I've now platinumed god of war, god of war 2, god of war 3, ghost of a sparta  and chains of Olympus. I'll probably plat the new one too. Only ascension left to plat which I might return to someday.

First, sorry about the quality. Shot on my macbook webcam. So, I thought a lot about whether or not to upload but then I thought of what my son, Helo, is going through right now. He doesn't want us to be around when he is sad, opting to run in another room and yell at us if we try to come in. It has been important to us to let him know that it is OK to be sad, it is OK to cry. There is nothing to hide. I thought I would try to set a good example and show him that papa can cry in front of the world, or at least the 50 people who end up watching this. :) This is for you, Helo. Papa loves you.

First, sorry about the quality. Shot on my macbook webcam. So, I thought a lot about whether or not to upload but then I thought of what my son, Helo, is going through right now. He doesn't want us to be around when he is sad, opting to run in another room and yell at us if we try to come in. It has been important to us to let him know that it is OK to be sad, it is OK to cry. There is nothing to hide. I thought I would try to set a good example and show him that papa can cry in front of the world, or at least the 50 people who end up watching this. :) This is for you, Helo. Papa loves you.

dang, Shu better go there and give that man a hug, a vacation, and a raise.

Oh and Kratos got the scar from Ares, when Ares and Athena came to take Deimos.  It was in Ghost of Sparta (Halfway through)

I did it!! Pre-ordered on GMG for $53.99. That's like 40% cheaper than it is here (retail), and 38% cheaper than on EU PSN.

Yep and I won't be playing it until -1.5 days at least!

Autocorrect is completely broken on this website for me.
I did some updates. To you (and everyone interested), do a hard refresh of the website to make sure you're using the latest files. Then let me know if it improves or worsens the quality of the editor.

Spell check seems better (still not popping up all the time though) at least on my end.

I probably would buy physical if I lived in the US. You're lucky that prices haven't really increased in decades. Back in 2008-2010 prices here skyrocketed

Was this the guy in charge of EA?

I'm surprised I haven't spoiled anything for myself other than the few things shown in reviews.  I'm almost done God of War 3.  Labyrinth is left then Zeus.  I didn't kick enough dogs.  Oh well.
