Support NeoGAF

[Metroiddarks]

nearly 7 month old build, interested to see how improved it is by release. 343 generally make good looking games so I'm sure it'll be fine. Optimization always comes last.

The optimization you are talking about is debugging and improve framerate/resolution stability.

Also they as other studios lost many time this year for COVID so the game can improve for release date yes but not
in graphics except maybe they fix the popping probably now they foccus in other things which doesn't require much
more testing after of make some change.

The team was also affected for release in two totally different type on gen, the problem here is if this game was just Xbox one X but they told
us will enhance for the new console, will we okay with that but not they use it as main game for the new console.

The decision of release RT after release for me is clearly they need more time but they don't have it.

 

[EliteSmurf]

People are used to faked vertical slices, wonder why he deleted that tweet because January was clear in what she said for the build date.

How is it clear if she never mentioned January at all ?
Timestamped



Can you find where January is mentioned?

Damnnnn but we all knew this. It was the ignorant tht kept saying "developing for the lowest denominator won't affect games for nextbox" there go your frivolous, baseless know it all assertions. You get what you support.

 

[Gamernyc78]

Watch the usual suspects try to claim digital foundry is trolling and biased

Ppl on here have always alluded to two bias ppl and one semi neutral. This comment isn't shitting on Microsoft BTW but stating the obvious cross gen handicap we all knew was coming and we are not even devs.

 

[Three Jackdaws]

So Tom is saying that he's heard from a reliable source that Sony will show off the next God of War game sometime on August and that it will have some jaw dropping graphics!? God I hope this is true! HYPE!!!!!!!!

[saintjules]

Really interesting stuff.

 

[VanSiriusGabriel]

All that time spent talking about the huge cock of their console.
This is what you get when you develop games for old gen and evidently you aren't that good at team management, nor you have good artists.
I mean, my impression here, but tech aside this game is just ugly, random trees and rocks with huge empty spaces, flat illumination and shapes, no deepness, no personality at all.
And no one noticed the sound? For the most part there is no soundtrack at all, it's just noises.

Bro it was suppose to be part of the presentation in June, tweets went out the day before saying tht it would be a big day for Cory but we saw nothing. The Sony presentation was edited last minute you can tell towards the end of the presentation something was taken out. Sony is saving tht God of War reel for some massacring.

And he mentioned at 6:38, the reveal of HZD II is how you're actually going to play the game in real time. That would be insane if true.

I don't know which thread it was or which poster posted it.
But the gist of it was, all Sony need to do to win, is in their next showcase to end with the voice clip of the word "BOY!"

 

[3liteDragon]

Do it, Sony.

They’re actually gonna do it!!!!!

 

[megreotsugua]

It's the gamepass effect. Unfortunately for MS, their multiplayer games will never gain as much popularity as the multiplatform multiplayer games.

There's plenty of free-to-play multiplayer games out there which gamepass strategy will compete against.

While Sony is getting all the headlines for their blockbuster AAA games. There's a lot of mature gamers nowadays who prefer experience over engagement. These mature gamers are also the ones who have the money to pay.

 

[IntentionalPun]

And he mentioned at 6:38, the reveal of HZD II is how you're actually going to play the game in real time. That would be insane if true.

What does that even mean?

It was pretty obviously not gameplay.

Oh yeah I remember Cory's tweets, his Twitter behaviour at the time made me confident they were going to show the next God of War but it's interesting they've saved it for August!

And he mentioned at 6:38, the reveal of HZD II is how you're actually going to play the game in real time. That would be insane if true.

Oh yeah I'm not surprised, I figured straight away the gameplay would be exactly what we saw in the trailer! I could be wrong but that's why I'm dying to see the actual gameplay since the trailer itself was stunning!

I would also add that Tom mentioned God of War will be releasing next year 2021, I don't see that happening, 2022 seems like a safe bet.

It was also tweets from other ppl I'm referring too forgot the Twitter profile but u remember it being like some female gamers ir something who sent the tweet who are very active on Twitter and gaming.

God of War 2 and Horizon 2 in 2021? That can’t be

 

[GRIEVEZ]

Dont know about the validity of this. Im definitely keeping my expectations on this in check. Seems a bit to soon?

 

[Punkster88]

PS5 to have some RDNA 3 sprinkled in there?

 

[VanSiriusGabriel]

To be fair to whoever that is posting they are right. Development goes up to the deadline and then straight past it.

Code 4 months out from release is far from complete and showing a demo can be quite an effort in such an unstable content base.

But, Sony had the same to contend with and did a better job. You compete with your competition.

MS are supposed to be the globe spanning software company with all kinds of work flows. Now they want to complain the tech wasn’t ok to work during Covid.

It’s fine - I can see that, but it’s still not a good advert for their products and services vs Sony. It’s difficult to imagine that without Covid, MS would be doing much better with their messaging.

Sony communication was overall more dry and effective, MS looked so good at it because Sony wasn't doing shit, it was a one-runner race for a while.
You can see MS now talking about old gen games on Series X because 4K 60 fps\120 fps on their most important conference, while Sony just tweet about a PS5 game having the option to run 4K\60. You don't need to show me fucking slowmo of Ori and re-re-representing Destiny 2.

 

[kyliethicc]

God of War 2 and Horizon 2 in 2021? That can’t be

Yeah God of War is usually March release. My guess is God of War 2 in Spring 2022.

 

[Dargor]

Who is this guy and why should I believe him? Is he a Hellpoint dev?

 

[HawarMiran]

They’re actually gonna do it!!!!!

Imagine "BOI!" in 3D-Audio. WTF is Kratos doing behind me?

What if you did not like GOW on PS4?

 

[saintjules]

What does that even mean?

It was pretty obviously not gameplay.

And my point is hes saying otherwise.

 

[BluRayHiDef]

Very, very intriguing video. If he's right about the PS5's Geometry Engine being an RDNA 3 feature that mops the floor with VRS and about yields of the PS5's APU being good enough to enable 38 CUs on the GPU, then the system will more beastly than we've thought. He also mentioned that the PS5's ray tracing abilities are more customized than we've been told. How reliable are his claims, NeoGAF? Are his sources usually correct?

 

[VanSiriusGabriel]

What does that even mean?

It was pretty obviously not gameplay.

I noted both gameplay and cutscenes. It was mostly the latter anyway, I agree. We still don't have a clear idea of how the game actually is.

 

[Three Jackdaws]

So just to summarise some of the points he mentioned in the video

• The God of War sequel will be revealed in under a month with jaw dropping visuals
• There is another exclusive IP in a known franchise which hasn't been revealed yet and is being worked on by Mark Cerny and is a launch exclusive, Tom said he would get into trouble revealing it.
• The new Horizon Forbidden West trailer was all in engine and gameplay will look exactly like that
• PS5 GPU has been heavily customised, the Geometry Engine is also part of RDNA 3 (2 sources confirmed this)
• PS5's ray-tracing also has some customisations

I might have missed a few things so feel free to add, how reliable is this information? Tom seems very confident in the information and stated towards the end he's willing to put his neck on the line and will admit it if he is wrong.

 

[saintjules]

God of War 2 and Horizon 2 in 2021? That can’t be

I don't know. I don't think late 2021 for GOW would be entirely out of the question

 

[IntentionalPun]

And my point is hes saying otherwise.

My point is that makes no sense lol

The camera like flies away from the character, zooms past it, or isn’t anywhere near the character in most of the trailer.

It looks gorgeous but it isn’t gameplay: isn’t that the same YouTuber who idiotically claimed UE5 demo only used 768mb of RAM? Why do you guys listen to these morons?

edit: oh he just said it’s in engine.. yeah that seemed implied by the running on PS5 thing

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Just finished everything in GOT, every collectible, every color and armor etc (prior to finishing the main last mission at least). I feel so empty now, but should go watch what MS did yesterday and I might have fun by doing so, heard lots of praise for Halo .

For people asking where I've been.

EDIT: I'm in page 2467

Take a hit real quick chief.

Yeah, I would say in the least that it's not entirely impossible, if we wanted to compare that to say the UE5 demo. I know there's a lot of debate on that demo, but if that was indeed playable, then I'm sure at some point next generation we'll reach that fidelity. GOW and HZD would be excellent games to showcase that. But hey, maybe it's a pipe dream, idk.

I don't think he said that was gameplay, but that the gameplay graphics will pretty much be the same as what we saw in that trailer. I don't find that surprising or controversial.

Ive barely scratched the surface of Act I, and have played as much as I can all week.

Do you not have a job?

Yeah I think they’ll be close at least.

but unless the gameplay involves you flying a camera around the world it wasn’t gameplay lol

No one knows what will be gameplay until it's in our hands anyway. So to be fair, no one is right or wrong until then. I'll continue to watch and read on any speculation/rumors that come.

 

[BurnCoalMeltPole]

And he mentioned at 6:38, the reveal of HZD II is how you're actually going to play the game in real time. That would be insane if true.

Actually, I have been somewhat surprised that so many people have expressed doubts that HFW gameplay will look like its trailer. I guess that means that people will be blown away when they finally see it properly demonstrated.

Tom also mentioned he's still holding out on a lot of bombshell information which he hasn't fully verified and maybe too controversial for now. Funnily enough, Paul from RedGamingTech has also said something similar with regards to the PS5 and has stated that he doesn't want to release the information because it will just make the console warring worse.

Could it be??? Silent Hills a launch title . But I guess not because that is already rumored to be in developement. So no reason for him to not talk about it.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

I'll gladly pay $60 for an amazing AAAA experience like TLOU2 or Ghost of Tsushima instead of being hoodwinked into buying garbage for what seems like a "deal".

Hope Sony never tries to chase this bullshit and it fails spectacularly for Spencer. Really don't like the guy after today.

You said a few days ago that the Xbox show would be more underwhelming than Sony's.

Just curious, did you know something ahead of time? I won't ask or bombard you with questions if you did but just curious if it was a lucky guess or you knew something.
