@@ASSASSIN19923 true, but when i saw all those youtube videos of trailers gameplay, it was something else, and when i played it, and the audio alone disappointed me, so them all the glitchy physics, i actually loved the game when i got used to it, only like 2 trophies left for me to get the platinum
A lot of the textures are better in the final version, lighting appears to be different, since its harder to light the environment because players can go everywhere, over an E3 demo where it follows a set path. The one thing i can say i dislike in the new version is that when they kill the deer, they take a second to look at the environment, and its gorgeous in the E3 demo because they actually have stuff to look at, in the final version, its just another part of the forest, not quite as awe inspiring.
Linear Single Player with lots of content and decent duration to finish. Great action gameplay and an added cuatomization that caters to the majority of modern gamers. A story that is much better than its predecessors and a reimagined protagonist that has been a classic Icon to the action game genre and coincidently grows old with the gamers who played his younger days. A graphical art masterpiece which looks like or much better than hollywood movies today or most of the modern games today. ZERO microtransactions that almost every AAA devs and publisher can't live not putting it to their games. NO season pass. so most likely no dlc content after release unless the gamers demand it so (just like with Horizon). THIS should be one of the few games in this generation we should be supporting people!
Tselel Leb And yet ppl hate on it for a "downgrade" that i don't see and a " bad combat" that i see as more stragitic and better one and i don't see why is there so much it's like it's just me and a couple more ppl that enjoy this game and the hype for and every one else in bitching about it for no reason
Knight_ OF_Night The hate is just coming from those people who will never have a chance of playing it just because its an exclusive or those retro gamers who cant move on from previoys gow games or those "souls-like" genre haters. Every game has haters. The difference is how a game could prove them wrong. And this is one of the games that can do that.
turnermic17 the director Balrog stated time and time again that it is somewhat linear and that open world games are a hassle. If it is anything close to being an open world is its map design is like dark souls which you can backtrack from places you've passed through.
There's less level of detail in the E3 demo in terms of finer qualities and sharpness. The demo has better atmospheric particle effects and shadows though, which makes everything look more real.
E3 2016 better lightning better motion blur better strand simulation better fog and snow particles better anti aliasing Final Production sharper textures & shadows more vibrant color i dont see any downgrade on LOD or even charachter & landscape geometry. this game still look beautiful..
VRK can we stop with the Ubisoft bashing already. They have screwed up in the past, but their recent works show that they have been trying to make up for it and to many of us, they've succeeded.
The final build does look more crisp, but the dynamic hair of the sons fur coat and Kratos beard is gone. Also the lightning and volumetric light on the beginning looked better before. Still the final build is superb.
I think the visuals in the final product are so so much improved. The only clear "downgrade" would be the shadows being less pronounced, however I think thats an artistic choice. Plus I think the intensity of the shadows would have made some areas much too dark and would be visually annoying.
This is a game, not a movie. Just because something seems more cinematic doesn’t mean it’s better, good gameplay requires fidelity and distinguished visuals.
with that mentality go to play atari with pixel graphics there is no point to release a ps5 or increased graphic card for games with better graphic dont you think ? According to me games must be exactly look like a movie otherwise we dont need a ps5 or gtx 2000 series
SPYroom2 I'm not saying good graphics are unnecessary, just that gameplay should always take precedence over it. Good graphics are totally fine just not if it hinders gameplay.
Sam Gardner it would be better if you watching a movie but unfortunately god of war is a game so that's why it looks way better in the second , last thing you want is everything looking fuzzy and dark whilst you trying to play the game and have fun

I don't understand why people say it looks better than E3 (unless you're looking through Sony glasses). The textures from E3 are better. The fur and hair (beard) actually move with the wind in the trailer. The lighting and shadows are far better in the trailer. Look at the characters as they move throughout the world. In the trailer they transition from light to dark areas and you can see the world objects casting shadows on them. There are also sun shafts in the trailer and not on the final version. The fog is better in the trailer. The reflections off the water are better in the trailer as well. There is more ground clutter in the trailer, and the grasses and brush look better. The blue animation on the deer antlers at the end is far better on the trailer. It looks like they over-saturated the reds/greens/blues in order to hide their poor textures. I don't care either way, the gameplay is the most important factor and the current version doesn't look bad, just not as good as the E3 trailer.
Craig T True. A lot of detail has been removed in some places and more fog was added to the background. I guess the console wasn't powerful enough to produce the game as the developers intended.
E3 2016 is actually better: 1. more elements on the background. 2. global illumination was on point. 3. general picture looked more cinematic. 4. textures were downgraded for the final version since the game was developed in high end computer then shirinked to work for the outdated ps4 AT THAT TIME !
Chris sheen Because of the Sunset at the E3 Version? They changed the Weather because the sun was annoying. Its snowing there how can There be a Sun that much? Unlogical thats why they changwd it. Second, there are no Tree Shadows on Kratos Skin he is just getting darker everytime, when he follows his Son after the Deer you cant see the Shadows of them both on the E3 Version. Pro looks far better
And a much shorter draw distance, it has fog to hide the lower draw distance, the lighting is obviously inferior to the demo, so they had to change the tone mapping (colors, pretty much) and tweak the game for its new technical makeup. Demo wins.
It was most likely way too expensive on the hardware. The framerate probably tanked in many parts of the game and they had to either crank down the visuals or not at all release it on the base PS4. I'd say they struck a great balance. Yes it's not as technically advanced, but it's mostly details that don't really matter to 90% of people. For example, I guess you didn't even notice that hair, beards, fur etc. don't move in the final game, but they do in the E3 demo. It's most visible on Atreus' hair and coat, the deer's fur and Kratos' beard. Depending on the technology they used, simulating moving hair like that can become quite hardware intensive.
Yea bro that's gonna be a no for me.. Even though I know I'ma enjoy tf outta this game you can blatantly see that the e3 trailers graphics were more computer advanced.. Either way if you have a ps4 pro alonf with a 4k HDR tv it's gonna look good regardless
Noxlight so you would rather take the 2k16 version because of those small details.the final build drastically improved as far as lighting goes i could barely tell atreus coat was moving
Some of the changes people are talking about with the shadows and lighting are just due to the fact that these aren't the same scenes. The area they're in was changed and the scenes play out differently. So the lighting wasn't the same. There are plenty of examples of amazing light/shadows in the final game.
Jesus, clarity doesn't necessarily mean more realistic. The lighting in the E3 trailer was faaaar better even though it hid some details. Look around you, not everything is fully illuminated is it? Some details are occluded in shadow and that's okay. The game looks great but now everything looks too overdone giving it an artificial look. We also lose some detail in the ground and some movement in the boy's fur vest when the wind blows it. And why did they make his eyes so intensely blue? It doesn't look as realistic anymore. This isn't Kingdom Hearts.
AlkamistStar the beard doesn’t blow in the wind on resolution mode. You can his beard moving and all the other characters beard’s to during all the cutscenes
for those wondering about the minor environment mchange and camera pan out at the end of the E3 one that isnt present in the new one, that is because the released version the entire game is one shot, there are not actual 'cuts' in the cutscenes
There's definitely a HUGE difference but it's not like the game looks bad now. I personally think it looked better in the trailer but retail still doesn't look that bad, places like Kratos' face seem to have a bit more detail in the retail version so we may have some upgrades in the small areas.
Am I? Hahaha because they are shame morons crying!! PlayStation is winning the gaming domination console war and the losers are just having the casual argument..😊😁
pavlos380 what about PUBG, Cuphead, Sea Of Thieves, Minecraft Better Togheter, Cross Play for Fortnite PC, Xbox & Mobile, the marketing of Borderlands 3, and A BUNCH of others games, DBZ FighterZ is better on Xbox One (it says on the trailer), many UA-camrs bought FighterZ on Xbox One. So tell me some more exclusives of PS4 (THIS YEAR ONLY)
Blue Shell No you are incorrect. The E3 version has a constant value to create wind. The final version has a dynamic variable which makes the wind dynamic. At 1 26, there's no wind at that moment in the final version. At 2 55, there's wind or are you telling me you don't see the hair and fur reacting to the wind?????????
E3 has far better lighting and more realistic shading. It makes the game look very cinematic. However, final probably outstrips in everything else, except for minor particles and such.
You gotta be blind of hype not to see the obvious differences. The demo is more technically advanced and looks more impressive. I'm gonna play and enjoy it anyway though.
Cooking Sauce you don’t see the improved textures, better lighting and more realistic faces in the e3 demo? Look at when he encounters the first enemy. On the final version there is definitely stuff downgraded.
This video in a way is pointless, because each one had better scenery in certain situations, the deer scene in the e3 demo was sicnificantly better then in the finished version. Just seing the depth of field through the trees felt way more artistic. They didnt cone a long way graphically. They just changed the setting and layout. IMO
The final game is the most colorful and beautiful game i've ever seen, its lighting is glorius and the colours are just beautiful!!!! Favourite part of the map is Temple of Tyr!!!!!
The game itself looks better than the trailer imo, but i got your point. The Demo has better shadows, but if they had to tone it down in order to optimize the game, i can understand
watch DF's analysis they show further gameplay and i have to say ambient occlusion,dynamic lights,shadows bloom effects are beautiful and better than E3 version.
They tone it down quite a bit. Trailer has more accurate shadows, better self shadowing, indirect lighting, absolutely different shading methods for various materials ( Much more accurate shading methods) and some probably demanding postprocess action and in final version dynamic fur is missing on the boy´s clothes. BTW for people who think that the final version has better details on skin i am affraid it doesn´t. It just uses cheaper version of Subsurface scattering. So in other words skin is more detailed in final version because it does not blend and soften the pores the way it supposed to do, just like you can see in the trailer. The reason is probably, that it was too much hardware demanding for PS4 pro. But overall Game looks amazing the either way so this downgrade is just for optimization purposes.
I think, rather than it being too much for ps4 pro, it's more likely the main reason was just to optimize it as much as possible for the base ps4. I imagine the reception would've been a lot less positive had the game run great on pro but poorly with stutters on base. They did a good/if only compromise they could.
Well like they say, "If you can't handle me at my best, you don't deserve me at my worst." Right? Or was it..........nevermind both look great despite the small downgrade lol.
cyberpunk 2099 Lol, what the description says doesnt automatically make it true, the lihting and win affects aswell as draw distance was all hevaily downgraded in the final version
E3 you can feel the cinematic atmosphere because of the shadowing while in the "pS4 pro " they have like so much lighting which is understandable either way can't wait for the game
Sorry bro I am not trolling between I am a visual artist............may be you cannot see those things.......hey its for major audience. enjoy the game dude :)
E3 demo is by far better. Lighting reflection on the water at the bridge was beautiful. The lighting was sharp with high quality shadows and multiple light sources. Partial effects from fire, snow and ash. All of these are gone on the ps4 ver.
Wait whuut?? Multiple lightsources? The Final version has that, not the E3 version lmao. The fact that Kratos walks by a small lightsource in the E3 trailer while a part of his body not reacting to the light says the only lightsource was the exaggerated God ray coming from the trees.
watch DF's analysis they show further gameplay and i have to say ambient occlusion,dynamic lights,shadows bloom effects are beautiful and better than E3 version.
I don't see anybody mention about the hairworks difference. The e3 version has more hairs movement and wind reaction all the way from beard to hair cloth. I feel like the retail version got left out a little bit of that detail. In the end I like the retail version a lot better since it's better colors and contrast and we can clearly see much more emotion from just facial expression alone. I already pre-ordered the game as soon as it's available. Still counting down :)
I liked the 2016 version better for its cinematic looks and better shadows, however the ultra-detailed textures in the final release do look fantastic. But still, the 2016 E3 demo looked more realistic, because it didn't look so gamey (bright and extremely colorful). So for sure no downgrade, but a different approach I'm not 100% happy with. Apart from that, this game is an instant classic and will be one of the games future action titles have to live up to.
But that doesn't mean it looks like trash. I mean, it's not like Watch_dogs (that game not just toned down shadows, but also lightning, reflexions, and overall game)
certain things look better in the trailer , but ps4 pro looks alot sharper , brighter and vibrant. i like the release version better although i wouldnt call it an upgrade
Some of it was clearly downgraded like the low fov and fog everywhere. One can consider it added to the atmosphere, but it was probably just a way to hide the short draw distance or else it would go way below 30 fps
First that Elk / Deer whatever looked so much better at E3 with the camera blur effect and superior atmosphere. The weather quality at E3 was immersive the air truly looked so cold it seemed thick. It's like they tried adding too much detail to the elks fur. In the stabbing scene you'll notice how well the fur flows in the wind yet on PS4 it's... like...idk.. chunky? The armor on that undead knight was beautifully deteriorated (E3)yet they just removed what made them look like a part of the games history. Something risen from another time The ending scene paning back out at the world below while he hesitates to comfort his kid was so much more dramatic and gripping. PS4 version here's some tree stumps and some kind of runesk looking rock formation...Sad. That being said if I never saw E3s demo I would have appreciated the graphics/scenes etc in game so much more
Schubeasty I'm thinking for the final scene that they created with that huge view/backdrop with the dragon flying and lightning etc, just for the demo so that everyone would be anticipating what was to come for the game and also to leave it on a cliffhanger literally , whereas the final version keeps the games focused on kratos and his son and what just happened with the deer, keeping the game and the story flowing
Appears to be a gain in some foreground detail but loss im background detail in some scenes. In the beginning of video in e3 you can see the mountains stretch further, more detail. Some smoke in the far stretch, something to strive to reach.
Not sure what they're showing in the "Final" footage, because Kratos never holds the axe out where you view the full head. I hate that they changed it in the final version.
nice(bad) downgrade on visible less reactive fur effect that adds dimension to the scene. The garrid "bloom" on enemy and deer effect stand out in a bad way, they seem less "mystical" and just gamey "weak point" glowing. The Demo had better fights and tweaked locations/boss, but that normally is the case from vertical slice/demo into final game with the tweaks.
The level of detail of the textures are better in the release but the shadows, the wind or the density of the environment shine bright in the trailer version
i think in trailer the picture is more blurer and softer than ps4 pro, but ps4 pro has sharper picture and have more great detail, BTW overall i chose trailer version.. hmmmm.. but i think everyone know that developer make trailer scene better than the real game scene 😁
Final is better, beard more detailed, more vibrant colours, the only thing that e3 has is shadows and mist which I’m guessing they’ll release in a launch patch for the pro
I see it worse. and it is a downgrade, the dynamic lighting and fog effect in the E3 trailer are much better and gives it a realistic feel at least for me.
alright guys, this Gnome Druid guy said this Sony exclusive franchise is coming to pc, so i guess sony has no choice now but to release it on pc aswell. rejoice!
Notice how the beard and the fur on both him and his son aren't moving like in the demo. Also, there isn't any dense blur in the final game and lighting has more contrast.
They cut down on some small details that aren't very noticeable but are resource intensive. In the final version there is no movement in Kratos' beard and the boy's hair in the wind which can be seen in the E3 build. Same goes for some foliage and the shadows are better in the E3 version. Seems like they upped the hue in the final build to make it seem a lot more vibrant and alive, which wasn't a bad move. All in all a couple of downgrades here and there but they also improved some areas.

it's a game... xd

The lighting isn’t anywhere near as dynamic then the E3 version, and is a little more washed out
The Only difference That I can see is the illumination one is very Yellow and the other is very Blue
Final version has much more in depth details which makes it even more immersive.
Textures are the drastic change. Like Kratos's model
there is more detail
That is correct. Most of PS4 E3 demo's used dynamic global illumination while retail versions are static baked lightning.
Linear Single Player with lots of content and decent duration to finish.
Great action gameplay and an added cuatomization that caters to the majority of modern gamers.
A story that is much better than its predecessors and a reimagined protagonist that has been a classic Icon to the action game genre and coincidently grows old with the gamers who played his younger days.

I don't understand why people say it looks better than E3 (unless you're looking through Sony glasses). The textures from E3 are better.

In the trailer they transition from light to dark areas and you can see the world objects casting shadows on them. There are also sun shafts in the trailer and not on the final version. The fog is better in the trailer. The reflections off the water are better in the trailer as well. There is more ground clutter in the trailer, and the grasses and brush look better.

they do look better in the e3 demo but that’s because there’s more wind in the e3
Final has more vibrant colors. Brighter.
And a much shorter draw distance, it has fog to hide the lower draw distance, the lighting is obviously inferior to the demo, so they had to change the tone mapping (colors, pretty much) and tweak the game for its new technical makeup. Demo wins.
iWillWakeYouUp I think the fog is a more artistic choice. Creating fog/smoke is some of the more taxing graphical features a game can have.
Oh please. This is not volumetric fog.
iWillWakeYouUp Why didnt they keep it looking like the demo tho?
It was most likely way too expensive on the hardware. The framerate probably tanked in many parts of the game and they had to either crank down the visuals or not at all release it on the base PS4.
I'd say they struck a great balance. Yes it's not as technically advanced, but it's mostly details that don't really matter to 90% of people. For example, I guess you didn't even notice that hair, beards, fur etc. don't move in the final game, but they do in the E3 demo. It's most visible on Atreus' hair and coat, the deer's fur and Kratos' beard. Depending on the technology they used, simulating moving hair like that can become quite hardware intensive.
Looks like a upgrade to me as different textures and lighting look more clear
Don't bullshit yourself, the demo was obviously more technically advanced in every way. Doesn't really bother me though, the game's gonna be awesome.
The demo was better for christ sake... Are you blind ? The effect on the axe. The Fur on the coat of the kid is moving in the demo....
Yea bro that's gonna be a no for me.. Even though I know I'ma enjoy tf outta this game you can blatantly see that the e3 trailers graphics were more computer advanced.. Either way if you have a ps4 pro alonf with a 4k HDR tv it's gonna look good regardless
Noxlight so you would rather take the 2k16 version because of those small details.the final build drastically improved as far as lighting goes i could barely tell atreus coat was moving
read comment above
Some of the changes people are talking about with the shadows and lighting are just due to the fact that these aren't the same scenes. The area they're in was changed and the scenes play out differently. So the lighting wasn't the same. There are plenty of examples of amazing light/shadows in the final game.
Jesus, clarity doesn't necessarily mean more realistic. The lighting in the E3 trailer was faaaar better even though it hid some details. Look around you, not everything is fully illuminated is it? Some details are occluded in shadow and that's okay. The game looks great but now everything looks too overdone giving it an artificial look. We also lose some detail in the ground and some movement in the boy's fur vest when the wind blows it. And why did they make his eyes so intensely blue? It doesn't look as realistic anymore. This isn't Kingdom Hearts.
MegaAnitoon thank you!!! Everyone on the comments thinks because the e3 demo ran at 1080p and is soft it means it's not as good.
Graphical points aside, it's interesting to see how the placements of objects and paths in the game change over development time.
Yo, check out his beard comparassion at 1:17 😱
Some very minor differences like the beard no longer blowing with the wind but this looks like an upgrade to me overall. I'm incredibly impressed!
AlkamistStar the beard doesn’t blow in the wind on resolution mode. You can his beard moving and all the other characters beard’s to during all the cutscenes
It looks like they put a different filter
not only, trust me on this, never forget that E3 is a big lie
for those wondering about the minor environment mchange and camera pan out at the end of the E3 one that isnt present in the new one, that is because the released version the entire game is one shot, there are not actual 'cuts' in the cutscenes
There's definitely a HUGE difference but it's not like the game looks bad now. I personally think it looked better in the trailer but retail still doesn't look that bad, places like Kratos' face seem to have a bit more detail in the retail version so we may have some upgrades in the small areas.
Why are people talking about Microsoft and Xbox games when its a Ps4 game getting reviewed?
Am I? Hahaha because they are shame morons crying!! PlayStation is winning the gaming domination console war and the losers are just having the casual argument..😊😁
pavlos380 no it not stop being an fanboy
Am I? Humanity at its finest.
Joris vV Fanboy ALERT!!
pavlos380 what about PUBG, Cuphead, Sea Of Thieves, Minecraft Better Togheter, Cross Play for Fortnite PC, Xbox & Mobile, the marketing of Borderlands 3, and A BUNCH of others games, DBZ FighterZ is better on Xbox One (it says on the trailer), many UA-camrs bought FighterZ on Xbox One. So tell me some more exclusives of PS4 (THIS YEAR ONLY)
Whoa, the final version looks better than the trailers. That's a new.
0:41 oh yeah definitely release looks better
William McPherson I don’t know if that’s sarcastic. But I actually prefer the lighting in the release version
MrDVB oh I guess u hate godrays... the deer seems to be the most downgraded
@@williammcpherson9222 1:13 1:22 2:36
The game looks more vibrant and clean, the models look better as well, why the hell are people saying that this is a downgrade?
Ryan the hair does not move and it’s a bummer for me. E3 looked way better, felt like a movie.
The fur... THE FUR DOESN’T MOVE ANYMORE!!!! RRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Blue Shell
No you are incorrect. The E3 version has a constant value to create wind.
The final version has a dynamic variable which makes the wind dynamic.
At 1 26, there's no wind at that moment in the final version. At 2 55, there's wind or are you telling me you don't see the hair and fur reacting to the wind?????????
E3 has far better lighting and more realistic shading. It makes the game look very cinematic.
However, final probably outstrips in everything else, except for minor particles and such.
E3 looked amazing and these mofuckers managed to upgrade it still like the detail my days👏🔥
You gotta be blind of hype not to see the obvious differences. The demo is more technically advanced and looks more impressive. I'm gonna play and enjoy it anyway though.
+iWillWakeYouUp you're clearly blind bc all I see is darker color
Cooking Sauce you don’t see the improved textures, better lighting and more realistic faces in the e3 demo? Look at when he encounters the first enemy. On the final version there is definitely stuff downgraded.
How you ppl see a downgrade i don't know😑
This video in a way is pointless, because each one had better scenery in certain situations, the deer scene in the e3 demo was sicnificantly better then in the finished version. Just seing the depth of field through the trees felt way more artistic. They didnt cone a long way graphically. They just changed the setting and layout. IMO
The final game is the most colorful and beautiful game i've ever seen, its lighting is glorius and the colours are just beautiful!!!!
Favourite part of the map is Temple of Tyr!!!!!
Upgrade of War
Carlos Vega
Upgrade no, downgrade no
Downgrade of War
Tha Fu** of War
Xbox one fan for sure haha, go and cry somewhere else
It's downgrade xD but it's so epic
This is more like a updgrade and downgrade at the same time tbh
I must be weird because I like the E3 2016 trailer more
Finally an honest person😂
No, you're just being honest.
The game itself looks better than the trailer imo, but i got your point.
The Demo has better shadows, but if they had to tone it down in order to optimize the game, i can understand
@@firuzmajid4780 The demo has almost no shadows in some shots.
E3 is more realistic
cooking with Berke Or cinematic. But yeah, I agree. Less detail but looks more “wholesome”.
but the texture in the final version is a lot better
texture is bad at e3 because it is taken from video
Keep in mind that this is on ps4 not pc
the point is to be more realistic or more beautiful?
for me the trailer looks better but still .. the Pro version looks amazing too
watch DF's analysis they show further gameplay and i have to say ambient occlusion,dynamic lights,shadows bloom effects are beautiful and better than E3 version.
It's like that in every game tbh, especially during events like E3.
'Don't be sorry, be better'~Kratos
Wow that's a good quote, I think I might use it when my friends are too good at being trash in dota.
WTF is dota?
@@DistinctWisdom
lol?
They tone it down quite a bit. Trailer has more accurate shadows, better self shadowing, indirect lighting, absolutely different shading methods for various materials ( Much more accurate shading methods) and some probably demanding postprocess action and in final version dynamic fur is missing on the boy´s clothes. BTW for people who think that the final version has better details on skin i am affraid it doesn´t. It just uses cheaper version of Subsurface scattering. So in other words skin is more detailed in final version because it does not blend and soften the pores the way it supposed to do, just like you can see in the trailer. The reason is probably, that it was too much hardware demanding for PS4 pro. But overall Game looks amazing the either way so this downgrade is just for optimization purposes.
I think, rather than it being too much for ps4 pro, it's more likely the main reason was just to optimize it as much as possible for the base ps4. I imagine the reception would've been a lot less positive had the game run great on pro but poorly with stutters on base. They did a good/if only compromise they could.
Also. What's the Pro's definition of this game?
Well like they say, "If you can't handle me at my best, you don't deserve me at my worst." Right? Or was it..........nevermind both look great despite the small downgrade lol.
The Man Called Sting I'm pretty sure it's the other way around lol
The Man Called Sting there is no downgrade, read the discription as well hmmpph.
cyberpunk 2099 Lol, what the description says doesnt automatically make it true, the lihting and win affects aswell as draw distance was all hevaily downgraded in the final version
E3 you can feel the cinematic atmosphere because of the shadowing while in the "pS4 pro " they have like so much lighting which is understandable either way can't wait for the game
Looks more cinematic on the left side
They added more detail on the faces and colors and environment that is a upgrade
Jeremy Del Angel not in this case bud
Jason Bermea so you are saying because they added more details it’s not upgrade?
Those are not details pal, they literally changed a kid into old man face.........
Sunil Narine you must be a troll
Sorry bro I am not trolling between I am a visual artist............may be you cannot see those things.......hey its for major audience. enjoy the game dude :)
I feel E3 2016 is much more realistic.
But the retail is much more beautiful
The retail the characters have have better skin definitions
@@lightyagami8645 Fanboy detected
NIT MusicVideos watch it till the end ...
E3 demo is by far better. Lighting reflection on the water at the bridge was beautiful. The lighting was sharp with high quality shadows and multiple light sources. Partial effects from fire, snow and ash. All of these are gone on the ps4 ver.
Wait whuut??
Multiple lightsources? The Final version has that, not the E3 version lmao. The fact that Kratos walks by a small lightsource in the E3 trailer while a part of his body not reacting to the light says the only lightsource was the exaggerated God ray coming from the trees.
Finally a game where the final version looks better than the trailer. Awesome stuff!
Actually,what changed were the shades and the light position, but there is no downgrade , not in a perceptible spectre, some changes are even better
I think Kratos looks better now but the boy doesn't
AirborneThorne yeah he looks weird now especially his eyes they still did a good job though
😂
i actually prefer the e3
watch DF's analysis they show further gameplay and i have to say ambient occlusion,dynamic lights,shadows bloom effects are beautiful and better than E3 version.
I don't see anybody mention about the hairworks difference. The e3 version has more hairs movement and wind reaction all the way from beard to hair cloth. I feel like the retail version got left out a little bit of that detail. In the end I like the retail version a lot better since it's better colors and contrast and we can clearly see much more emotion from just facial expression alone. I already pre-ordered the game as soon as it's available. Still counting down :)
Upgrade 👏
downgrade
miniwar monger you are blind
miniwar monger lol
Ramon I’m pretty sure that you’re the blind one
Boss battle was downgraded forsure
The beard doesn't move on the final version
I’m so glad that the actual game looks better than the trailers, so many companies get away with that and it really f’s me off.
whoaa.. the game looks better than the trailer!! Amazing
Not quite, the lighting and color correction was more advanced.
Tf u all blind?
Elmo Humorless Lighting looks better on final release also level of detail, textures and AA are much improved just look at Kratos face for example.
david Maloney Lighting just isnt as present and as crisp as in the e3 demo,AA is lower quality you can see that in the smoothness of the corners
david Maloney You only need to look at the very first clip to see the difference in lighting & color correction.
The E3 trailer was an excellent representation of the final product. Props to Santa Monica for having their vision fully realized.
I liked the 2016 version better for its cinematic looks and better shadows, however the ultra-detailed textures in the final release do look fantastic. But still, the 2016 E3 demo looked more realistic, because it didn't look so gamey (bright and extremely colorful). So for sure no downgrade, but a different approach I'm not 100% happy with. Apart from that, this game is an instant classic and will be one of the games future action titles have to live up to.
Momentos no game a versão final tá mais bonita do que na E3 , horas não , mais tá incrível do mesmo jeito
10-9?
I think the final graphics are better
There are no shadows on characters in the final game.
But that doesn't mean it looks like trash.
I mean, it's not like Watch_dogs (that game not just toned down shadows, but also lightning, reflexions, and overall game)
Kratos' beard is bigger, that's an improvement!
certain things look better in the trailer , but ps4 pro looks alot sharper , brighter and vibrant. i like the release version better although i wouldnt call it an upgrade
Some of it was clearly downgraded like the low fov and fog everywhere.
One can consider it added to the atmosphere, but it was probably just a way to hide the short draw distance or else it would go way below 30 fps
The textures and lightning have been upgraded
I know.. Thats obviously the reason i never brought it up.
Tldr if people cant read; textures/lightning upgraded, draw distance/shadows downgraded.
First that Elk / Deer whatever looked so much better at E3 with the camera blur effect and superior atmosphere. The weather quality at E3 was immersive the air truly looked so cold it seemed thick. It's like they tried adding too much detail to the elks fur. In the stabbing scene you'll notice how well the fur flows in the wind yet on PS4 it's... like...idk.. chunky?
The armor on that undead knight was beautifully deteriorated (E3)yet they just removed what made them look like a part of the games history. Something risen from another time
The ending scene paning back out at the world below while he hesitates to comfort his kid was so much more dramatic and gripping. PS4 version here's some tree stumps and some kind of runesk looking rock formation...Sad.
That being said if I never saw E3s demo I would have appreciated the graphics/scenes etc in game so much more
Schubeasty I'm thinking for the final scene that they created with that huge view/backdrop with the dragon flying and lightning etc, just for the demo so that everyone would be anticipating what was to come for the game and also to leave it on a cliffhanger literally , whereas the final version keeps the games focused on kratos and his son and what just happened with the deer, keeping the game and the story flowing
Appears to be a gain in some foreground detail but loss im background detail in some scenes. In the beginning of video in e3 you can see the mountains stretch further, more detail. Some smoke in the far stretch, something to strive to reach.
kratos' model looks absolutely stunning in the released version...and dat beard
Not sure what they're showing in the "Final" footage, because Kratos never holds the axe out where you view the full head. I hate that they changed it in the final version.
um dos poucos jogos em que o jogo final é mais bonito q os trailler
So que nunca
Verdade
Em muitos aspectos sim,por exemplo,a versão final possui bem mais cores do que a do trailer,possuindo uma natureza bem mais linda e menos "morta"
Vc jogo o mesmo jogo que eu?
Metal gear solid 5 pra mim é o mais fiel entre trailer e produto final que ja vi
nice(bad) downgrade on visible less reactive fur effect that adds dimension to the scene. The garrid "bloom" on enemy and deer effect stand out in a bad way, they seem less "mystical" and just gamey "weak point" glowing. The Demo had better fights and tweaked locations/boss, but that normally is the case from vertical slice/demo into final game with the tweaks.
The level of detail of the textures are better in the release but the shadows, the wind or the density of the environment shine bright in the trailer version
The final released product is better as it should be 😊
i think in trailer the picture is more blurer and softer than ps4 pro, but ps4 pro has sharper picture and have more great detail, BTW overall i chose trailer version.. hmmmm.. but i think everyone know that developer make trailer scene better than the real game scene 😁
Final is better, beard more detailed, more vibrant colours, the only thing that e3 has is shadows and mist which I’m guessing they’ll release in a launch patch for the pro
What a shame, they didn't need ever to lie on us in God of War game.
it is awesome already, and we didn't love it for the graphics in the first place.
Wasn't a lie imo, it was 2years ago. Things change in development over that much time, hence it's called "development" :p
I see it worse. and it is a downgrade, the dynamic lighting and fog effect in the E3 trailer are much better and gives it a realistic feel at least for me.
Its better now, lol
Haninos this guy is just a bonafide hater
Haninos
The fog effects are in games to hide the background and fix framerates and loadings..
They removed it, and improved graphics overall..
E3 2016 = PC
2018 = PS4 PRO
*Edit: E3 2016 = PC + Ps4 Pro Dev Kit
its true when e3 came every pc gamer said its on pc ps4 will be worse
I uploaded a new video in the channel about God of War i hope you like it
MrWoodpecker AB Never gonna happen
alright guys, this Gnome Druid guy said this Sony exclusive franchise is coming to pc, so i guess sony has no choice now but to release it on pc aswell. rejoice!
Notice how the beard and the fur on both him and his son aren't moving like in the demo. Also, there isn't any dense blur in the final game and lighting has more contrast.
The E3 trailer was missing the massive hype reactions
Upgrade ❤️
I'm going to play but I'm going to downgrade, they could not maintain the textures of e3 2016, then compensated in other things like the kratos ax
WTF.. of course “NO”
.
It’s downgrade
Mythical 3 cmon the final version is more detailed and has more collors
The lighting is clearly inferior in the very first clip, lacking contrast & detail in the release version.
So the difference is that in E3 they weren’t using an HDR TV while as for the PS4 Pro footage they’re using one ?
E3 better. Still looks gorgeous on pro tho
The opposite of Ubisoft E3'S
They cut down on some small details that aren't very noticeable but are resource intensive. In the final version there is no movement in Kratos' beard and the boy's hair in the wind which can be seen in the E3 build. Same goes for some foliage and the shadows are better in the E3 version. Seems like they upped the hue in the final build to make it seem a lot more vibrant and alive, which wasn't a bad move. All in all a couple of downgrades here and there but they also improved some areas.
basically, E3 GOW has the best environnement but lacks graphics and PS4 FINAL GOW it's exactly the opposite of it...
wow
I wish the final game had those shadows, but was we got was still a masterpiece!
3:52 upgrade?
Yeah man
Atreus clothes and the deer.
ubisoft should take notes
this is first party, so not fair to compare them
