Insane progress: blogger compares PC version of God of War 2018 on Ultra settings and God of War Ragnarok on PlayStation 5

YouTube channel ElAnalistaDeBits, which specializes in comparing graphics in games, published a video comparing the PC version of God of War (2018) on ultra settings and God of War Ragnarok on PlayStation 5.

Here's What We Know

In general, the blogger compared several aspects: world, physics, lighting, models, textures and animations.

The world of the game: In general, the world has become more detailed. Many elements have appeared. Small particles, more trees or new buildings. This is best seen in Muspelheim. This dimension in Ragnarok has changed dramatically. Now there are more volcanoes, lava and new details that make the world more alive.

Physics: Physics has reached a new level. The most noticeable changes are visible in winter locations. The axe of Kratos (Kratos) leaves realistic traces in the snow, and branches from trees can now be knocked down, which again adds realism to what is happening on the screen.

Lighting: In Ragnarok, the lighting has become cinematic. The game now has a bright look, and the color palette has become rich.

Models: There are not so many differences here. If you look at the monitor with a magnifying glass, you can find something new, but it's hard to see the differences with the naked eye. However, the characters were quite detailed 4 years ago.

Textures: The situation with textures is similar to how the game world was improved. There is more grass on the locations, conditional trees have become detailed, and the leaves are realistic.

Animations: In-game animations have become smoother, and Kratos' movements are now less "wooden". Something similar could be seen in The Last of Us II, when the developers managed to create seamless animations.

In general, it is clear that God of War Ragnarok took all the best from the previous game and multiplied the result twice.
