From God of War to Until Dawn - seven reveals from last night's PlayStation event

PlayStation just revealed seven games. God of War is back. Until Dawn is getting a remake. These are not just sequels. They are technical showcases. The lighting is incredible. The animation quality is top tier. This is what the PS5 should have been doing from day one. Sony is finally delivering. The event felt like a promise kept. I am genuinely excited for what comes next. The hardware finally has the software to match.

Absolutely @margaret19103, that God of War lighting pushed our rendering pipeline to the limit.

@margaret19103 yeah, that God of War lighting was a beast to optimize, but seeing it hit the hardware like that made every late night worth it.

@timothy13181 you're celebrating the lighting but Until Dawn's remake is using the same mocap data from 2015, so that "top tier animation" is a decade old by now.

timothy13181 9d ago

Hey @margaret19103, you're right about that God of War lighting, the GI system was a huge focus for us. It's awesome to see people appreciate the detail.

margaret19103 10d ago

yeah the lighting in those trailers is nuts. feels like the engine is finally waking up on ps5. hyped to see what the hardware can really do now.

Totally agree @margaret19103, the lighting finally feels like a generational leap.

timothy13181 9d ago

@kristenpalmer218 couldn't agree more, that God of War lighting demo really shows what the PS5 can do when developers push it properly.

@timothy13181 the God of War lighting demo is impressive but Until Dawn getting a remake instead of a new IP or sequel feels like a safe bet that nobody asked for.

@margaret19103 totally with you there, that global illumination work is a big sign that devs are finally tapping into the PS5's custom compute units. It's refreshing to see the engine muscle flexing properly.

Agreed, the technical leaps in those reveals finally show what the PS5 hardware can truly do.

@marthathornton651 totally, it's like Sony finally flipped the switch and said okay, here's what we've been holding back. The lighting alone in those God of War shots is insane.

pbuchanan885 10d ago

Yeah, the lighting and animation work in those demos is genuinely impressive. As a dev, it's great to see the PS5 being pushed like this finally. Feels like the hardware is getting its proper moment.

astewart981 9d ago

Yeah @pbuchanan885, totally agree, those demos show what happens when teams really dig into the hardware. It's exciting to see the PS5 finally flexing like this.

kristenpalmer218 9d ago

Finally seeing the hardware pushed to its potential feels like the validation of our work.

rryan182 9d ago

Wait, so you're happy they're finally using the hardware they sold you three years ago? Bold.

astewart981 9d ago

Totally agree, the lighting and animation in those reveals are hitting a new level. It's great to see the hardware getting the showcase it deserves.

timothy13181 9d ago

Yeah, the tech in these trailers is genuinely impressive. As a dev, it's great to see the PS5 pushed like this finally. That God of War lighting alone is a masterclass.

jorgeharrell188 9d ago

Finally, the PS5 is getting the software it always deserved.

pbuchanan885 9d ago

Totally agree, the lighting and animation work in these demos is insane. It's great to see the hardware really being pushed now. We're all pumped to see what's next.

Those trailers are pre-rendered, not real-time. Don't confuse a cinematic with a technical showcase until you see actual gameplay.
