Regarding the second & third shots, can you attack the bad guys whilst they're on the higher ground or do you have to wait for them to jump down to beat them down?

Looks fantastic by the way.

There is a V-Sync tear in that 3rd screenshot. (Bottom 1/3 of picture)

After playing the demo though I know it's an incredible looking game.

Ahem..

I think it's safe to say that tearing is still in the game.

Or is it just a fucked up screenshot.

Lots of blood though, nice.

the demo was near unplayable with how bad the tearing was. From teh gameplay movies on gametrailers it looks like most of it was cleaned up. *crosses fingers*

Game looks amazing. Yet I got to play the demo a few days ago and the fighting didn't do that much for me honestly. Also, shortest demo ever?

Wow, welcome to last month! Yes, shortest demo ever, or at least on a par with the Blacksite demo.

The combat system is actually what has me most interested, you can't just button mash (well, you can to an extent but that makes it rather pointless and boring).

This is one of those games that if you actually learn all the combos and moves and understand how to exploit them in battle, you will look like Jesus while playing the game.

Shadowmap resolution finally looks nice. I assume these are unauthorised captures from the review code (so they may disappear or something), since I heard some reviewers recently got theirs.

Game will suck.


On a serious note, does it really matter? Was God of War 2 any less of a game because it had tearing?

Is this a troll? Just wondering. Kinda hard to judge. :p

Christ man people have gotten paranoid lately. Just saying the demo didn't do that much for me. I'm sure the gameplay variation will be there in the final product. What I thought was that the demo didn't offer you enough time to get a solid impression of the battle system.

But yeah the facial animation and cutscenes in the game are really something else.

Not really, the tearing was only really bad at the top of the cliff and there wasn't any gameplay at that point. As soon as you get down to the arenas, the tearing isn't really noticeable.

Did I say the game will fucking suck? I was just pointing out that it is obviously still an issue to those who would want to know. And I am currently play GoW2 on PS3, upscaled and with no tearing :)

The tearing didn't exist except at the top of the rope.

Just two complaints:

1-Please, turn on the AF, thx
2-Nariko's hair still looks like shit, although it moves wonderfully.

Man, if the framerate in the demo wasn't so piss poor, I'd be so much more excited. I really hope it's true that they've addressed it...

You wanted me to do this. :D
 
God you people must look so frickin closely at games. I have played a lot of games in my time on several platforms and like to think I know a good one when I see one, and never in my life have noticed screen tearing...

I played this demo and all I know is I wanted more.

Ive only really noticed it oblivion Ps3, but even then it doesnt really affect the gameplay

Problem is, once the genie is out of the bottle it's never going back in. I never used to notice tearing at all, then one day I did and it ruins games for me. =(
