God of War VS Ryse | PS4 Pro vs PC Ultra | Details Comparison (Winner :- PC/Crytek)

My god does Forza Horizon 3 look hilariously bad.

All these years of crapping out iteration after iteration by Microsoft to try to inflate the franchise's lifetime sales numbers and Turn 10 still can't implement a decent lighting model.

Embarrassing.

Surprised none of you graphics whores just sell your consoles and just buy a PC.

Guess there is a reason why Res, gimmicks, buzzword and numbers sell HW these days, you lot are the reason.

How does crytek make crappy games that get talked about years after they release? They're like the outlier in this hobby.

Consoles are only now catching up to PC from a decade ago in terms of graphics. Crysis 1 and Ryse looked amazing, but god damn was Ryse a bad game. I would easily sacrifice some graphics for better gameplay and story. However, current games have a lot more interactivity with the environment than games of old.

GOW has more content for sure, but i think people go a little overboard with how large in scale it actually is. It's pretty much a hub that connects to a bunch of corridors.

God of War is also very linear. So in that respect they are a pretty decent comparison. Both have a Nordic setting.

PC gamers, graphics enthusiasts, system war!

Ryse is 5 years old. It's not what you're thinking.

This video basically ends the talk that GOW is somehow the best looking game of all time lol.

lol FakeGeralt! Ryse looks like a 2018 game in this comparison.

In terms of graphics, Ryse is still very solid, material are very defined, vegetation is better, lighting is still good.

Thread has just started lol.

Crytek have been the the standard bearer for a longtime for benchmarking computer, Crysis 3 still gets used by DF sometimes.

Where's DriveDeadClub's game play HUD?

This is not Forza Horizon 3's photo mode example

Forza Horizon 3 is an open world racing game not near-rails racing game like Forza Motorsport 7, DriveDeadClub and Gran Turismo Sport.

Same place as the HUD in your Forza shot.....

And Forza is open world and it shows in the graphics department.... everything in Drive Club graphically smacks Forza all over the place.

The PBR and lighting realism in Drive Club is unmatched by any other racing game and it's weather effects are unmatched by ANY game....

Super manly Sniper should be all over this thread :)

From digital foundry

"The choice of Australia for the latest Horizon festival also pays dividends - the locales are varied, ranging from brush to cities to rainforests - and the quality of the materials and texture work is second to none"

the game is open world and was released after driveclub a linear Game. but yeah the weather/rain effecs/physics is unmatched in driveclub.

5club; I hear you can't even do a 180 and go the other way on the tracks. Some real 1980's game-play it's got going on as well. lolol :P

Again, where's the HUD from your posted dead-club screenshots?

This thread made me laugh

You can turn off the HUD in DC. Yep, DC looks miles better.

DC also has photo mode. Again, where's the HUD from your posted dead-club screenshots?

Are we seriously comparing GoW to Ryse? GoW is a massive game with no loadings or transitions, and still manage to look better.

The game may have some rough edges but damn the art direction is impressive.

@vaeh: The video makes you look like an idiot.

Instead of actually buying the game and playing it you're using a shitty compressed youtube comparison made by a dumbass fanboy as “proof” lol.

@vaeh: PC gamers, graphics enthusiasts, system war!"

Yup.

Agreed on the fact GoW like Uncharted 4 before it has a bit more openness to it but it is still linear. Uncharted 4 became a one and done for me. GoW is really enjoyable and i can see me going after "Give me God of War" next.

Yeah but that's really underselling GOW. UC4 funnels you forward if your in Libertalia for example you can never go back to Madagascar unless that's where the game wants you to be, that's where the story is progressing. Once you open areas in GOW you can go anywhere to those areas and within those areas you have that metroidvania souls exploration design. You also unlock fast travel. GOW is not really open like a full open world game its hub based or zones whatever you call them. Most important is the choice to go to those areas that have sub activities that keep unlocking as the game progress. It is also very much a dungeon crawler game, most those area have a dungeon. One of the bad thing about UC4 is exploration. The open combat is good. GOW just a much much better gameplay game.

@ellos: So like Rise of the TR. It isn't anything new or ZOMG!!! Is all I'm saying. It's a great game, Goty at this point but I'm not going to lie to myself about it.

Dude I'm not trying to say ZOMG!! its new. Yay its incredible!!. The game borrows from a lot of games as with most all games these days. Just informing the differences of openness between UC4 and It. TR is good comparison the director was a part of the reboot some folks who work on that game work on GOW and so on. The game does better then TR and that leaves UC4 very far when it comes to that. IMO UC4 is just not that open Lost Legacy was more open than it.

Who cares about ryse?

@ellos: When i said its like Uncharted 4 i meant it shares in common the fact they are more open then previous iterations in the series, not that GoW is like Uncharted 4. Apologies that i wasn't clear with that.

they have always been, even though they moved to consoles they still crush other devs(and graphics cards) in terms of graphics

Ryse is very very pretty but that is all Ryse has. GOW is also very pretty but is also really fun to play!

@ronvalencia:

You can also play DC without HUD. DC looks better. But whatever.... just realized that nobody take you seriously. First two DC shots are clearly in-game cuz i see some aliasing.

@cainetao11: Its all good.

Ryse wins?

Can't play GoW on a PC.

@KillzoneSnake: HZD makes Pc master Racers lock themselves on their basements

You're arguing with a child, he has posted HUDless screenshots himself and criticizes you for doing the same, lol.

Color palette style doesn't change between photo mode and game play mode.

Open world

Forza Horizon 3's lightning model is Forward Plus as per AMD's recommendation.

@cainetao11:It's kinda funny how the combat in God of War looks very similar to Ryse, yet people bashed Ryse for it (being repetitive) and now people praise GoW for its combat.

God of War combat isn't that much better. Some cows are claiming that the graphics in GoW are the best they've seen so far this gen, and that claim will be tested.

I disagree. Ryse isnt in a fantasy setting, so it is less "fantastical" than GoW, but the art direction is amazing, far from generic.

Ryse still looks pretty amazing given the age of the game. It’s really incredible how well the PC version scales up to 4K and higher framereates when you consider that the entire game was made to run on mid tier hardware from 2013 targeting 900p.

The problem I’ve noticed with GoW is the graphics are mixed. They look good sometimes and then ok in other places. Its not some technical powerhouse.

@recloud: I wonder who’s butthurt alt this is.

I stopped reading there. Ryse has the superior flora and fauna. Foliage has always been Crytek's specialty since the original Far Cry. Take a look at Kingdom Come Deliverance.

There are some things Ryse does better (performance capture and visuals during cutscenes). Incredible how well that game holds up in motion. It has one of the better implementations of motion blur, so that helps. The thing is, when you list out all the technical criteria. GOW simply doesn't come close to matching or exceeding state of the art. Games like HZD somehow managed to push the console to its limit, but the limit has been lowered compared to past console generations.

This is why I don't fall for the hyperbole that dominates the conversation whenever a new big console exclusive comes out. GoW looks good but it's not some revelatory experience if you have been playing games on the PC, especially with higher settings and framerate. I'm reminded of 2013 when everyone was raving about The Last of Us being the greatest looking thing ever when it had such a poor image quality and framerate and games like Metro Last Light and Crysis 3 wiped the floor with it.

Ryse is a phenomenal looking game no doubt but it doesn't have the scale or gameplay of GoW.

I'm not surprised Ryse still holds up so well considering how great Crytek was on the technology side. Ryse had been in some form of development for about 7 years, going through various prototypes. I think people underestimate how technically accomplished Ryse was and still is.

It not as bad as people made out, you can only fight human in Ryse so it suffers some repetition. It's very strange every Crytek game have some supernatural element to fight with, for example Farcry, Crysis, even Hunt, but not Ryse. A sequel could have been incredible if it addressed the shortcomings of the first one.

@geraltofwar: lol dat damage control. Keep saying same things again and again. Graphics in Ryse in 4k/60 is no joke.

Oxygen is not going into your mind. The problem is you're a blind Sony fanboy. I doubt you even played Ryse on PC.

I think this pretty much sums it up.

Kinda funny how scale suddently matters. I would say ARMA 3 trounces everything on the market when it comes to scale and visual quality.

@geraltofwar: Knowing your one week posting history i can say you're a Sony fan... owning multiple consoles doesn't make you a non-Sony fan.

Combat wise Ninja Theory's DmC shits on Dad of War.

I know. I'll never get over how funny it is seeing these console players bicker about graphics.
