The Power of Sony Exclusives -- Technically

High End PC Gaming (i7, 1080ti , SSD ...) + A PS4 Pro for Sony Exclusives + A 4K 55inch Capable HDR TV (Sony X930e) is a Treat.

God of War is an Awesome game from a very talented developers - Santa Monica Studio nail it. 95% on Metascore based on 102 Critics and 9.2 based on 4020 Ratings. Story Line , Gameplay , Graphics and Sound. Graphics are a true masterpiece , yes Checker Board 2160p with TAA is used with a locked 30fps - the frame pacing is very good on 30fps , it is fun.

Checkerboard 2160p actually have the native pixel count of 2160p ( 3840 × 2160p , 8,294,400 pixels ) -  it is a clever way much better than up scaling , where half of the pixels are projected from the previous ones (rendered) through buffers and vectors calculations. The result is a very near image quality compared to native 2160p.

It is not everything about the resolution , the IQ and techniques used in God of War textures , Shadows , foliage , HDR Lighting , physics , animations , hair physics , motion and excellent optimization set new standards for Consoles / PC games development.


Detroit Become Human and Spider Man are too promising exclusives too that will be technically powerful too.

Re: The Power of Sony Exclusives -- Technically

Spoiler alert!








God of war was the most disappointing game for me after prototype 2

It was better in graphics, and story. The story is only better because they give Kratos a bit more character, but that's it.


The gameplay was horrible. The levianthian axe is the worst choice of weaponry they could have made. The enemies don't react well to your hits, the sidekick you have (Atreus) is useless, etc...

The boss fights... wait what boss fights? It's just Baldur, and the fights with him are very bad.

The loot system is really bad. There's no point in investing time tuning your armor, because the effects in fights are negligeable. Not to mention most of the armor looks really ugly, and take away from the look of Kratos, the God of war!

If you compare the fun factor between God of war and the old god of war... well the old one was so good, my dad used to sit next to me, telling me "dodge, jump, punch.!!!", to the point where he's tell me not to turn off the PS4 and continue to play!

A metascore od 94 out of 100 based on 117 critics and a score of 9.2 out of 10 user score based on  7307 ratings is not bad at all indeed. However every one has his taste and opnion  in games.

Personally , this God of War they moved from a slashing game from the previous titles to a more story driven and chatacter centric  gameplay. I praise too the technical achievement of SIE - Santa Monica Studio of how they sequeezed from ~ 4.2 F32 Tflops GPU and an outdated Jaguar 2.1Ghz CPU and  memory bandwidth  of 217.6GB/s. Lot of effort in game developmemt and optimization resulted in great graphics within an average hardware.

The water in GoW is crap compared to Black Flag, they really just didn't throw any effort there. Like zero effort.
