Screenshot Comparison – GOW III Kratos vs Mortal Kombat Kratos

A screenshot comparison on God of War III’s Kratos vs Mortal Kombat’s Kratos has been unveiled.

[edwineverready]

second and third mortal combat screens are cgi. He doesn't look bad but he looks much better in GOWIII

[Queefy_B]

Easily Gow3 kratos are they even being serious?

[PLASTICA-MAN]

What a lame article! 2 of Mortal Kombat screenshots are CGI and only the second screenshot of GOW3 is from the final shipped version, and that looks better than CGI.

Talking about professional journalism !

The GOW3 character model of Kratos is the best character model I've seen in a game to date. He looks amazing.

[Rumor]

Screen shots from a calculator?

no thank you. I'll wait for lens of truth...but even then i think we all know which will win.

[ravinash]

It always was going to be an up hill battle to get Krato looking as good in Mortal Combat to how he does in GOW3.

[sikbeta]

Maybe they're comparing for the sake of it, it's not like someone was expecting to see a better Kratos on a different game...

[Boody-Bandit]

Nathan those links say it all. I haven't played GOW3 since a month or so after it was released and it slipped my mind just how visually amazing that game was/is. Definitely among the top 3, if not number 1, best visuals on a console released this generation "so far".

I'm not expecting the Kratos character model on MK to even come close to SM's model. I just want to play as him in the MK world and rip some heads off Helios style.

[RememberThe357]

The MK model looks great. I was really not expecting much but I'm impressed. But look how good GOW3 looks. Those are in game renders verses cgi and GOW3 still hangs with it.

F'in impressive Santa Monica, f'in impressive.

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Mortal Kombat team got the same model model of Kratos from GOW3 and tweaked it to fit the limited Unreal Engine 3, hence Kratos still looks better and more detailed than all Mortal Kombat characters.

Read and see the interview between GOW3 and Mortal Kombat makers.

[MaxXAttaxX]

They said they used the GOWIII Kratos' design as a reference. They're not using the actual model from GOWIII though.

But yes you're right, they just can't achieve the same detail with the Unreal Engine.

[gypsygib]

Sorry who said Crysis 2 has the best console graphics again? Yeah yeah, it's more open (but still very constrained) but using that logic, Red Dead Redemption or GTA4 would have the best graphics because they still look good and offer huge environments.

[moparful99]

I would like to point those people that are drinking the crysis 2 kool aid to the underworld scene in God of War 3 when you can see for miles and miles into the distance and see the underside of the earth being held up by spires all while souls rain down into the abyss from above... FREAKING EPIC! One of the most amazing scenes I have witnessed in a game...

[Vherostar]

LOL there is no comparison...

[Serjikal_Strike]

A much Bigger Badass in the GoW3 screens

[HeavenlySnipes]

actually a good comparison, its refreshing that its not another C2 vs KZ3 comparison.

EDIT: wow, the second pic from the Mortal Combat side is CG but the GOW pics still look better. It makes me appreciate GOW graphics a lot more. I personally think its the best looking PS3 game.

[Pintheshadows]

Me too, its Gowgeous. I'm sorry.

[x5exotic]

Best Looking game on consoles so far! Luv it XD

[itsmyyard]

Never Cross Kratos....

[Kon]

Pointless comparison as Kratos in GOW3 is clearly better.

[Serjikal_Strike]

Well that is the whole point of this comparison...
its actually a good comparison compared to others that pop up on here...ala...resistance 3 vs gears 3

[ME1989]

Not even a comparison, 2 of the MK screenshots are CGI, and the other MK images are terrible quality and not even direct feed shots.

Can't compare the two.

[ME1989]

What's up with the disagrees? Did I say anything false o.O ?

[qadsia123]

Imagine MK9 had GOW 3 graphics!! O_0'

[ToastyMcNibbles]

There's some very old God Of War III screenshots in this comparison as well. Why can't these websites do proper comparisons with up to date screenshots?

[PLASTICA-MAN]

that's what I said above, but someone seem to disagree with FACTS. How delusional he is!

[ToastyMcNibbles]

Tell me about it haha. It's not like we're trying to downplay God Of War III but those are obviously old ass screenshots why not post screenshots from the final build of the game? If you're going to do a comparison do it right.

[badboy808]

If only more games were PS3 exclusives

[acemonkey]

thats cool i wanna play Kratos in MK, they said it feels just like him so i wanna see it.

[Rhezin]

yeah for MK Kratos looks AMAZING. I can't wait to use the 6? weapons that are confirmed for the game.

[Incipio]

GOW III

[Bathyj]

Finally a comparison actually worth doing and not just for the sake of inciting flames.

Course it would have been better if they used ingame shots, not renders for MK.

[GodofwarGoty]

it just shows you that they really take the time to make Kratos the way he should be Kratos cant wait to OWN every one FINISH HIM FATAILY KRATOS WINS

[sway__z]

The quality of the visuals in God of War 3 will be remembered long after PS3 has gone.

As does GOW1 & GOW2 before it.

[Tempjf]

Wow leave the comparisons to Lens of Truth.

[bofuknjanglez]

Yeah this site suck balls why the fugg would u do a comparison that makes a new window for each pic LEAVE THE COMPARISONS TO THE PROS VGHQ BECAUSE YOUR SITE LAYOUT SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCC KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKSSS!!!!!!!!!!.

[Der_Kommandant]

Scorpion: GET OVER HERE!!!

Kratos shows up

Scorpion: STAY OVER THERE!!

[conjurdevil]

no offense but that is so lame

[espiritu604]

THIS IS MY RESPONSE

[CobraKai]

Hey I was laughing!!

[Pintheshadows]

Good work sir! Have a bubble.

[Killzone3___]

it is funny ...

[Undeadwolfy]

I lol'd

[moparful99]

LMAO I liked it..I got a good giggle out of it.. I can just picture Scorpion saying this and meaning it! lol

[Inzo]

Just want to know, seeing that Kratos is an exclusive character and him being the face of the PS brand does it mean that this will be one of those rare occasions where the PS3 will be the lead platform?

[macky301]

So now we are comparing a Unreal engine game with probably the best looking game ever made,..

And it will probably stay that way, utill Santa Monica Studios does something else,.. There are some areas that could look way better, but there are some areas of the GOW3,.. that I honestly doubt that could look any better, regardless the tech progression in the next generations, for what they are trying to convey,..because they are so handcrafted,..

Gow3 aesthetically shits on everything,..And it will remain so,..

Cannot wait for Mortal Kombat though,.. damn it is good!!

[x5exotic]

GoW3 will easily be beaten

By the next God of war game....

[PLASTICA-MAN]

considering the fact that the next iteration of GOW will get the favor of having twice the geniuses working on it , twice the budget and twice the power and efforts, I don't see Uncharted 3 or any upcoming game coping with it except the next next GOW (maybe on PS4)!

[InfamousHero]

^ eh i still think Uncharted 2 > God of War 3 graphically, if only slightly. Although God of War 3 is more impressive in scale.

But yes, its unfair to compare MK Kratos to GoW3 Kratos.

[x5exotic]

Nah God of war's is better except for the helios chase which wasnt as good as the rest of gow,but honestly it looks better in every other part esp. Chronos :)

[peeps]

I'm not sure the comparison was to say which was better but more to show the translation of a character from one game to the other.

I personally think they have done a good job and looking forward to trying him out. Just hope he's well balanced

[RyuCloudStrife]

but look at the PS3's power vs the cgi:

CGI http://vghq.net/wp-content/... PS3 http://vghq.net/wp-content/...

the PS3 is a BEAST!!!!! Look at the chin hairs OMG

[Inzo]

The tattoo on the CGI Kratos is too full, it needs to be covered in some white ash.

[Ghost_Sparta]

I really don't see the meaning of this...

[Killzone3___]

he look the same to me..

[cr33ping_death]

who cares... who is going to complain if he looks better or worse... hes in mortal kombat be happy with that.

[Dead_Cell]

MK's done him justice imo. Great pics.
