Obviously the journalist is exaggerating. But what does his statement about visual quality have to do with the game being "safe"?

Any good standout previews preferably from experienced players?
The playstation access preview said you can upgrade individual moves by using them e.g. the axe throw.
Pretty cool way to encourage you to use your full move set

PS6 cross-cross-gen games confirmed

Kinda is an understatement. Hfw flat out looks next Gen at times.
Gg reduced the resolution of the base ps4 version to 900p to gain around 44% more performance from the gpu which they put into enhancing the visual fidelity. That’s why the lighting and character models got such a huge upgrade.

This is exactly the problem with cross gen stuff. For the 100th time, its NOT just about graphics. Regardless, the game is looking to be amazing but it is frustrating that we will never see a fully PS5 only GoW, isnt this confirmed the last one?

I can’t gleam if it’s supporting unlocked framerate in vrr does it run 45-55 in the 4k mode with vrr?

Last one of this mythology/ part of the story. We're gonna get another one in another mythos - guaranteed. GOW is too big for Sony to sit on. WOuldnt be surprised if Corys next game is the next God of War in a new mythos

There aren't many games I genuinely look forward to...and this is most definitely one of those games.
I'm there without any hesitation.
If they suddenly decide a day before release that they are going to charge ten grand then I guess I will need to sell an organ, as this is day one for me....no excuses

They are doing it for all these reasons, plus the one I said and another one: gamedev budgets for AAA went too high so they needed additional revenue sources to compensate the case of when one of them tanks.

Lol, I literally said what he said. Game looks great but maybe not as mind-blowing as the original (in the first 6 hours) as we don't have the intrigue of how they changed the game in this one. It pretty much plays as we know.You have mastered the art of backhanded compliments when it comes to a certain console/publisher, I'll give you that...
It's gonna be a twenty hour game minimum so I'm sure there is plenty opportunity for us to be surprised.
I only listened to the fextralife one on my work break as I trust his feedback and he likes similar games to myself

I literally said I pre-ordered it and am sure it will still be a great game, but I'm not hyped because the gameplay looks very similar. Still got multiple laugh emojis from superrrrrrrrrrrr sensitive people that can't handle that level of tepid criticism.

It fundamentally change how they design the game. Wasn’t that clear enough from Cerny talk? God of War was used as example of how the game was too much for previous gen to handle for god sake. Yet here are.

Anecdotal evidence. Almost all my friends are PC gamers, some extremely hardcore, and from my experience the idea that console exclusives will somehow trick a PC-only gamer to buy a console is flawed. I have not once seen it happen. Tbh some don’t even realize the console IPs exist until they pop up on PC, and some can’t even play/aim with a controller.

From a preview:
"However, what I personally feel is the biggest improvement is the gore and dismemberment in Ragnarok. I felt that God of War 2018 made the idea of blood be a bit sacred, saving it for some key moments in the game. It made sense given that Kratos was trying to put his violent history behind him and raise his son, but I still missed it. Ragnarok see's a big return to carnage, as Kratos once again finds himself drenched in the blood of his enemies. There is a pretty gruesome scene early on I won't spoil, but they really don't hold back. And there are a large number of finishers you can pull off that all end in a pool of blood."

Don't think its the last GoW game but it is the last in norse mythology. Next will probably be in egypt or something.

Well, yeah, it's a sequel, an iteration. Why were you expecting an overhaul in gameplay if that was never promised?

Not necessarily an overhaul, but just hoping for a little more than this. A new weapon of any kind. A little bit more of an evolution from the past game. Something like a normal sequel would accomplish for most action game series like Ninja Gaiden, Bayonetta, or DMC. Bayonetta is going for a new monster summon mode where you summon and control, plus a new character, plus there's probably new weapons. I wasn't expecting it at this point, but I was hoping. I think that's mostly going to come down to the story and spectacle moments, as I said in my post, not so much the gameplay which looks very similar so far.

This doesn't mean much. Games tend to start slow at the begging. Gow 2018 didn't have that problem with a few far in between. Also we don't know what length these squeeze through are. The problem is gamers as soon as they learn squeeze through are to mask loadings suddenly people are overreacting like never was done before

Well I didn't know that. I'm going off the marketing. But I guess thanks for spoiling that.
We're literally all commenting in the thread about this preview with bullet points from Sony that detail the features in the game. It's not my fault they are choosing to not detail hardly anything new about the gameplay. I'm allowed to comment in the preview thread about the preview. If you actually felt that people shouldn't comment without playing the game you'd be trying to mock every post in the thread, but you only have a problem with criticism apparently.

Dude that's a preview thread. Wtf. Should be common sense. If was a review thread I yiu find out there is nothing new that's one thing. They increase the numbers of enemies considerable. They expand the combat. One would expect some new weapons when they went out their way to add new shields with different moves

It means that the game has loading corridors because it has to run on PS4. It would not have had them if it had been exclusive to Ps5. If it has these kinds of compromises, it will have others.
It’s going to be a great game, but it’s going to be hamstrung by the need to run on nine year old hardware. That’s just a fact.

It’s more what they indicate than what they are: compromise to fit on ancient hardware. As I say above, I doubt they’re the only ones in the game.

Meh. It is what it is. The game is cross gen. The expectations should go out of the window as soon as it was known
Now that's petty lmfao

Oh, mine did. Still disappointing though. I’ll enjoy the game, but part of me will know it could have been more.

When you put it like that, talking about it needing to "run on nine year old hardware", it really puts into perspective the sacrifices that will have to be made.
I'm sure we'll get massively improved load times, some dual sense stuff, some improved visual elements, on ps5...but it won't be the full fat truly current gen version we all want it to be.

Oh absolutely, even The Medium has them, where Ratchet & Clank does not and they are next gen only.
It clearly a side effect of being on slower I/O mechanical drives. I was just commenting on how when done right, it adds a sense of awe. But I can see knowing why they are there, can stifle some people's fun with it.

Yep. And that's a shame. And the reason it's like that is pure greed on Sony's part. Yes, the game would have sold less copies if it had been a Ps5 exclusive (although with 21 million Ps5's sold I doubt that would have been a big problem), but instead of allowing innovation - the thing that drives the industry forward and gets us better games - they chose to maximise sales, and put out a product already out of date. We'll forever have a compromised vision, because Jim couldn't possibly miss out on the maximum sales possible. It's disappointing.
But I'm sure this game pushes the Ps4 as hard as its possible to go.
