One thing that’s awesome about PlayStation’s first-party teams is that they constantly push each other to the next level, and Sony Santa Monica appears to have accepted the gauntlet from Guerrilla Games: God of War is absolutely freakin’ stunning – both artistically and technically. Just feast your eyes on these PS4 screenshots.
Are you blown away by what’s being achieved here? Are you excited to wield Kratos’ great big axe? Fight a freakin’ enormous snake in the comments section below.

Apparently the footage shown at Sony's conference was standard PS4 footage, too. That's according to Cory Barlog, I think in an interview with Geoff Keighley.
Absolutely gorgeous game.
@Quintumply Really?! Holy moly...
GOOD... GOD of War
In the 7th image, is Kratos still carrying the head of Helios?
This and Spiderman impressed me the most in the graphics department.
@HungryWolf Looks like it!
If it's that good looking on a standard PS4, I can only imagine the Pro.. 😍
@get2sammyb best looking game ever.and the best franchise ever word up son
Don't get me wrong. This looks very nice. However, if nice looking things are what I was buying I'd buy wall art.
What I want is a good game. A strong interactive experience. God of War 5, is the same game as 4, 3, 2 and 1 and truth be told this franchise topped out with 2 which was brilliant. Then Santa Monica filed to do anything new for the next 3 games.
These companies keep doing this, Assassins Creed is another good example. 2 was phenomenal... then it all got very VERY boring.
Stop developing [enter stale franchise title here] 5, 9 and 16!!! Stop doing remakes!!!! Stop hiring 3D artists and start hiring developers and designers!!!!
Start making GAMES again and stop making moving pretty pictures.
@Deadlyblack shne thise two games looked exactly like god of war 2 and infamous in terms of gameplay.
Nothing new here except pretty pictures.
@DESS-M-8 this game is nothing like the previous ones what have you been watching. Everything from the time period to the camera angle,combat,main weapon,a.i. partner,kratos being more human like etc.
@dark_knightmare2 boring.
This is the same game as the previous games. Not interesting at all. The only PS4 game that looked interesting is the EA prison break game.
@DESS-M-8 obviously you're going to hate no matter what so I'm not going to even waste time explaining again why this game is nothing like the previous ones
@dark_knightmare2 not hating on it without grounds. It's just typical of Sony software library. Quickly getting bored of PS4 and the utter lack of originality and creativity, just an obsession with forcing marketing and graphics down people's throats and thinking that's acceptable for a video game these days.
@DESS-M-8 get a Switch
@Sanquine Already got one and it's phenomenal piece of hardware.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not needlessly hating on Sony. I played PS3 though it's whole lifespan, I have 2 PS4s in my house that are played daily. I'm just bored to hell of the zero range of quality titles on PS4 and total lack of originality, sequels for the sake of sequels that are into the 10th and 20th itteration cause they really have no creativity to deliver a good interactive experience, just the same old tired formula hidden behind modern graphics.
PS4 is the worst platform Sony have done yet and is essentially a graphical upgrade of the PS£, which was their best hardware. They really should have looked at delivering something more like the Switch this gen and invested more in first party software R&D for new and creative games.
@DESS-M-8 yet Sony exclusives are constantly winning goty awards so obviously their good and people love them
@dark_knightmare2 which PS4 games hve won game of the year then?
People love coldplay, ya can't trust people.
@DESS-M-8 idk let's see bloodborne,Uc 4 and horizon is def going to take some goty awards and even more last gen
@dark_knightmare2 horizon isn't won anything. Uncharted 4 was a good game but was the same as 3, 2 and 1 where 2 was the best in the series and bloodborne won game of the year in the category of "PLAYSTATION game of the year" so something on PS4 has to win. Just so happened that the year, the best PS4 had to offer, for that particular awarding body, was bloodborne.
Any other amazing genre defining and highly creative games??
@DESS-M-8 lol dude horizon is def going to win some goty awards,regardless of your minority opinion of Uc 4 it won the most goty awards last year and bloodborne didn't just win best PS4 game it won quite a few goty awards from major places like eurogamer,destructoid,edge magazine and this very site gave it goty. Sony has released the most critically acclaimed and highest scoring games in the last twenty years according to metacritics study and have a legitimate shot at goty almost every year and that's something special. Lbp was extremely creative and innovative,puppeteer was creative and dreams looks super creative and innovative
@dark_knightmare2 no they weren't
@DESS-M-8 ok fanboy let's just agree to disagree I provided cold,hard facts and you have provided absolutely nothing but let's move on and you have a nice day in your make believe world
@dark_knightmare2 ??? How exactly am I a fanboy, and a fanboy of what? Haha
You also provided zero facts against/for the actual discussion
@DESS-M-8 I provided zero facts lol are you serious. Uc 4 won the most goty awards last year that's a fact,bloodborne winning goty from some major sites was a fact,metacritics study that showed Sony has released the most critically acclaimed games in the last twenty years was a fact. like I said I provided facts while you provided nothing so like I said have a nice day
@dark_knightmare2
Awards based on sales figures and marketing all based on selling graphics.
Some great games have been released on PS4, don't get me wrong, I have played playstation for 20 years. But that 20 years experience of playing playstation is showing more and more that the actual content of their video games is declining and getting more repetitive whilst the focus on pushing how "lush" the graphics
engines are, has become the stronger and stronger focus.
@DESS-M-8 goty isn't awarded based on sales figures or graphics
@dark_knightmare2 yeah cause all awards are awarded fairly and wholly on merit around the world hahaha.
Don't get me wrong, there are some great games on PS4. But every year is notably worse on quality and better on graphics and it's sad.
Zero originality on PS4 whatsoever.
We'l be party to Final Fantasy 20, God of War 8, Uncharted 7, Tekken 12, FIFA blah blah blah before we see an original and inspired game on PS4.
So are clever, they have found a huge niche in the people that love the Fast and Furious films and they LOVE their graphics in games, so no need for originality if you wanna make some cash. It's just sad for the video games industry as a whole
god of war scored 95 on metacritic with many more exclusives that have come out, and many, many more to come. Have fun with sea of thieves lololol
