God of War PC Impressions - The Best Action/Adventure Game Gets Even Better [Wccftech]

The time of God of War PC has come, and Wccftech has played it. One of the best action/adventure games ever made is now even better on the platform.

Even better... with a 3090.... for real. Why not do with what gamers really play and not a card that not even 5% of pc gamers use...

[Eonjay]

I hate this too. I think all PC comparisons should get three teirs of tests to cover a wider range of hardware that more accurate represents the PC landscape. Show minimum specs, a mid range system and the high end. The thing is, what makes PC so interesting is that it allows you to build a system that meets your budget constraints. In the case of showing everything running only on a 3090 (a card which btw is more unattaniable than even a PS5) you are being dishonest and lazy.

It also discourages people from PC gaming by making it seem like you have to have invest thousands into your hardware to get a good experience. This is false.

“Even better... with a 3090.... for real. Why not do with what gamers really play and not a card that not even 5% of pc gamers use...“

Agreed. Reminds me of the DF comparisons where they always say that it’s better on PC. Yea if you’re rocking a $2000 PC. The comparisons are pointless just like this article saying the one of the best games ever made is even better on a super expensive PC that the majority doesn’t have.

[waverider]

Exactly what im saying. Dont understand why. What the most used gpu on Steam? 3090 or a 3080... Nope... its way, way lower...

[LordoftheCritics]

You wont need 3090. Thats just overkill.

Also Nvidia Reflex is actually amazing.

I can get my render latency down to 3ms in so many games and almost 2ms in a few. One article said that you could basically increase difficulty because your dodges, axe throws and feedback etc is almost immediate feeling. That is true for so many games as well that can lower the latency.

[specialguest]

I disagree with your complaint. When showcasing a new game on PC, we want to see what it's capable of at the max intended settings. That's the point of the reveal. As a PC gamer it's common knowledge for decades that if you're running a mid tier setup, you're not going to get maxed out settings. If you're still unsure if your PC can handle it, there's always plenty of videos on YouTube where people test certain games with different GPU/CPU setups with different game settings

[Zeref]

The narrative is always that PC runs games better. The truth is much more complicated than that.

[Zeref]

I don't like that it's only now that it's a PlayStation game that we're having this conversation. But i'm glad we're having it regardless.

Basically everything @Eonjay said is spot on.

[MadLad]

Were you complaining last gen when devs were showcasing their upcoming titles on the PS4 Pro, or Xbox One X, when they made up only a fraction of what people were actually playing on?

And besides, if you need something in the 3x series to run a game that ran on a base PS4, that's a Sony optimization issue. Anybody running a 2060 or above should be running laps with these games, and at 60fps.

[CaptainHenry916]

Looks amazing watching it on YouTube on my rtx 3080

[Fishy Fingers]

Its not out for 2 days :/

Nice edit ;) "Looks amazing on my rtx 3080"

[CaptainHenry916]

There's a few people with early access codes including some* N4G members* and people already playing it on YouTube. But don't tell that to Sony. I'll keep that to myself for now on. 🤔 😶🤫 It does look amazing

[VerminSC]

It’s funny all these PC fanboys talking about how amazing it looks, yet constantly bash console gaming.

But almost all of the truly spectacular looking games were first console exclusive.

I can’t think of a single PC exclusive with the graphics, and animation of GOW, TLOU2, Demon souls remake, and Ratchet and Clank Rift apart.

[Magog]

I replayed it on PS5 at 60fps and I can't tell the difference between that and the PC footage.

[annoyedgamer]

Metro Exodus RTX and Cyberpunk 2077

[VerminSC]

Really dude? metro feels so janky and I don’t even need to bring up Cuberpunk..

The games I mentioned murder those games in graphics, animation, not to mention gameplay.

[Binarycode]

Metro has nice visuals but is boring as hell. Not enough combat. Cyberpunk had good pace, performance issues and major bugs. Trying to support too many platforms.

[MadLad]

Console only players are hilarious. Every year they sit and pray their chosen plastic box has a couple big name titles so they can fight for console "dominance".
Even now, knowing Sony is actively going into the PC market, people are getting annoyed like Sony betrayed them or something.

At the end of the day we're happy to see Sony games on PC, but many of us don't care when they're not all the same.
The original GoW and HZD didn't get them to run out for a PS4. Nor will the sequels make them for a PS5.

These companies could spend whatever exorbitant amount of money they choose to to make sure every release is a technical showpiece.

When it comes to PC we'll play it, enjoy it, then uninstall it and move to something else like every other game, because that's all it is. Another game.

[VerminSC]

Yeah I disagree. You say this but PC gamers played the everliving shit out of Skyrim and Witcher 3 because they were some of the only decent AAA games available to them.

If you love VR, RTS, and indie games I’d go with a PC. If you want AAA masterpieces that push the envelope I’d go with PlayStation.

It’s just odd to me that PC players advertise the opposite. They make it seem like the most graphically impressive and mind blowing games are only on PC. Just not true.

[MadLad]

@vermin

I don't really agree with your wording. Like I said, you look at most Playstation (and now MS releases), and you know there has been a lot of money put into the game.
They're not just a game, but also meant to push the brand as a whole.

There's no real reason for PC to do that, being that anyone releasing games for PC aren't also trying to sell you hardware; the hardware offsetting some of the cost of these games that go above and beyond.

99% of games can look, and play, better than the console versions. Even the once exclusives.

Me getting sick of the drawn out PS3/360 era is literally why I built my first PC. Spending $60 on Farcry 3 for console, the sluggish, blurry mess that it was, tipped me over the edge.

[foker]

Better how ,.. because they probably ran 2018 game with ai dssl from 1080p up-scaled to 4k and are happy they can hit 90fps on 2000USD rig ,.. Well more is better I guess ,..

[Meti]

Cant wait to try it on my 3080 ti! I played it on ps4 pro and can confirm that its one of the best games. Lets see how it does on my pc. Hyped
