God of War PS5 patch releasing tomorrow (4K CB & 60fps) [Patch is live]
- Thread starter Raigor
- Start date
Really excited to play this one day. It's gonna be great catching up on some Sony first party games with a PS5 Slim or something.
dude it's not even 3 years old yet LOL what do you mean "still" you make it sound like it's PS2 title playing on PS4
I've probably got the wrong end of the stick, but is this a PS5 version release, or just a patch onto the PS4 version?
Ah okay, thanks. I thought it might have done the same as control and release on ps5 as a new title
I think we're going to be paying for a next gen version of TLOU2
Bloodborne? Sony has never heard of her it seems 😂
A 3 year old PS4 game looking better than most PS5 games is impressive IMO.
There's barely any proper PS5 games anyway, and if God of War released last year on PS4 it would probably look basically the same.
Just goes to show you how much budget, art direction and developer talent means compared to just power. When TLOU 2 and RDR 2 can next gen upgrades they're still gonna look better than almost every third party PS5/SX game too,
While the game is 3 years old the hardware it was built for is about 8 years old, and since it came out we've seen stuff like Demon's Souls on PS5 and Control with DLSS/RTX at 60fps. No one could blame it for looking a bit dull next to stuff like that, and yet, it still looks crazy good.
Anyone with a LG CX played around with the in game HDR setting slider? I just want to know if they have a settings they're happy with
I changed the brightness slider to '60' and kept contrast at it's default '50'
It feels and looks so good looking forward to playing through again as soon as I finish 13 Sentinels.
I disagree because of the raised black levels. Looks better (on OLED) in SDR IMO.
Or did they fix the raised blacks after release?
Been playing over the last two weeks, and was near end-game before patch yesterday. I can vouch for the upgrade. When I play 3D camera games - FPS and 3rd-person both - I sometimes get a little dizzy if I've been playing at a lower frame rate and/or resolution and then I jump to 4k/60 (or close). God of War definitely has more 3D depth to the landscapes and the like with the resolution bumped up. My first few minutes I was indeed a bit woozy - and it had nothing to do with my second cocktail. LOL
Looked great. Had a few bugs last night with Atreus hopping all around on an elevator, Kratos finishing an invisible enemy with a shock grab, etc. Dunno if related or just part of the normal game as it's my first playthrough, but had more last night than the previous 20 hours.
Great game. Lives up to the hype. I have a few quibbles, but overall just excellent, and I highly dislike both 3rd-person games and melee-focused games, so that's high praise. : )

WHYYYYYYY did I uninstall it! I knew I might regret it.
I might just download it again whenever. God, I need to listen to my intuition more. Usually, it's correct.
Loading taking longer than I expected on PS5 but still, cutting it down by more than half is great all the same.
its probably just because its not a native PS5 build. The SSD isnt really being used well on PS4 backwards compatible games.
Some quick shots, the model of Kratos man
this game lives rent free on my heart
I know, I still figured it'd be cut down even more but it's no biggie.
I'm pretty sure God of War is a much more expensive game than both Demon's Souls and Control
The combat and visuals really shine at 60fps so my suggestion would be to wait to play on PS5 if you can, however the game is still really good even on PS4.
Sure, and that's the main reason why it holds up so well. But it's still impressive.
Though I don't know how well we'd be able to compare the budgets of God of War and Demon's Souls. DeS will have been much cheaper because its a remake so there are entire pillars of normal game development that weren't needed and the development could go much smoother due to a lack of creative changes. For all we know, the budgets for things like graphics, animation, general scope, etc could well have been similar.
Dude people are funny about this kind of thing. There's a guy on YouTube who makes videos say does 'Resident Evil 2 Remake still hold up?' Or 'How does DMCV hold up a year later.'
I don't get it
Remake of a cult classic that wasn't AAA to begin with by a third party developer VS Reboot of one of the main Playstation franchises by its original developer and one of Sony's flagship studios
I don't have numbers but i would be really surprised if Demon's Souls had half of God of War budget
Pretty good except for the pop-in which is more noticable and distracting now with the higher framerate.
Haha yeah, noticed that yesterday when I started a new playthrough just to test the patch. It's not distracting, but I don't think I had noticed it so quickly before. Game still looks great and plays better thanks to the solid 60 fps.
So i didn't have PS+ for years. I signed back up in 2020 so that my saves would upload to PS+. I thought this would be automatic as I turned on cloud saves. Unfortunately for me the only thing it uploaded were my previous cloud saves from 2014-2017 and the 2020 stuff. Nothing inbetween uploaded. I'm pissed.
Guess I have to replay this game again.

The thing that continues to really stand out is that character model of Kratos.
Just...goddamn it looks good. Pretty much photo-realistic.

Restarted this up yesterday, definitely my favourite first party game from the PS4 gen. It absolutely shines on ps5, the patch is very welcome. Anybody on the fence and considering waiting for a ps5 but has the PS4 already, I would say the original version still looks and plays great, 60fps is just gravy so play this great game on what ever hardware you have. You don't have to force yourself to wait for the ps5.
I'm so excited for my partner to dive in to this game.
