God of War 2018 for PlayStation 4 recently got a new graphics mode called Enhanced Performance Experience. Check out NXGamer's thoughts on if this new enhancement makes the already stellar God of War even better.
God of War was release back in 2018 for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro. In the PS4 Pro version, you were met with two separate graphics options: a Favor Resolution mode that locked the game to 1080p and targeted 60fps (thought it rarely hit it) and a Resolution mode that locked the game to 30fps and featured a 4K chjeckerboard resolution. In this brand new Enhanced Performance Experience, it combines the modes to offer an incredibly crisp 60fps that almost never drops below that, while still maintaining the beautiful 4K checkerboard resolution.

how is this a review but doesn't have a score?
2160p it's an option on mobile phones now
Long story short, we need more PS5! And a GOW Ragnarok skin for ps5, and a release date and collector s edition
Салам по палам
5:39 The PS4 Pro has an SSD? Wrong!
Most of the comments here are regarding availability rather than compatibility 😂😂
The Greatest PlayStation Video Game Ever! And Definitely My All Time Favorite PlayStation Video Game Ever! And It's Already Looks Freaking Insane On PS4 Pro, It Doesn't Need PS5 Improvement.
Cant even tell the difference
Blah..blah blah...basically stick to ps4..like a damn woman wit all this talkn about nothing..wasting my tine!! And being absolutely useless
Imagine this on a high-end rig
So what version is best!!? ps4 pro or ps4 pro lol
Isn't it about time to port it on PC ?
No
Boooooriiiiing
i miss the older camera view....if they kept both
Talks more about the PS4 pro than ps5. Get to the point.
It’s amazing how many words you can understand but, combined in sentences, you have no idea what they mean 😅
This will probably come to PC
Appreciated the effort, hope IGN continues with theses “digital foundry like” reviews
ps6 I think you can play 60fps with Ray Trac on or 90fps without ray tracing
The increase in clarity is actually making me notice pop-in more on PS5.
Yesterday i played it on platinum🔥🤘🏻 It was sooo much fun i cant believe its finished😩
will it come to PC this year ?
My brain every time I see gow n Witcher 3 video 'lets start over'
Who else is watching this in the highest quality?
Anyway I started drifting..
My imaginary PS5 has fantastic performance!
who else didnt know what he was talking about but still watched the video
''in the very soon to be shown sequel to this epic 2018 title'' Hold on....Ragnarok to be shown VERY SOON?!
Wow look at IGN just stepping all over the Digital Foundry content medium!
I really can’t see the difference and I’m wearing glasses
You need new glasses
IGN trying to tap into that digital foundry audience
The first 5 seconds of this review I thought it was Mimir talking.
FINALLY IGN HIRES SOMEONE WITH MORE THAN 2 BRAIN CELLS
I've started playing this game again..wonderful game. But cannot tell the difference from 30 to 60 fps nor can I tell any difference in graphics from the ps4 to the ps5. I just can't tell any difference.
The graphics aren't changed at all, it's still a PS4 game with a vastly improved resolution and frame rate. Are you using a TV to support 4K 60fps?
Never played the game until I got the PS5. It's a great game.
Y’all comparing ps4 pro to ps4 pro
Listen boii this is playstation 5 we jump now
"truly transformative" someone's been watching Digital Foundry
Check NX gamer's channel. He has been doing it for a while. He's just less main stream than Digital Foundary.
The graphics difference is minor
Yeah there wasn’t supposed to be any graphical upgrades I’m not sure what you were expecting
Why would you expect the graphics to be any different 🤔 it's a PS4 game just at 4K 60fps.
Confirmed ragnarok will come out 2022
4k 60fps
Gooty 2018💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
This is great! I have no idea what he’s talking about...
PS5 graphics looks godly compared to PS4 Laughing with a PS5 🤙🏻
3:25 PS4 Pro vs PS4 Pro haha
Knowledgeable guy, keep him around ign
Guess who's back, back again, nx gamers back tell a friend
I can’t wait for ragnarok but why do you just want Kratos to fight and slaughter all the Norse Gods instead of something new? It would be the same thing all over again... last time in Greece Kratos was fighting for vengeance meanwhile this time he is more mature and shouldn’t go around wanting to kill anyone lol
So what's he gonna do then? What is the game even gonna be about?
Thanks, Dogital Fandry
Overrated game. The older ones were better. It's a nice game don't get me wrong but the graphics are the only real thing going for it
So if we assume that everything is running at ps4 pro base clock speed and we would be expecting a 13% improvement in performance in total, how is the performance over double (or more)?! I’m genuinely confused! Zen 2 cores vs Jaguar, or was that factored in to the 13% performance uplift?
I hope they bring this game to pc like HorizonZD.
native 4K ? ... 60fps stable all time ? ... thats a big point.
BEST game of last gen.
A moment of silence for all the poor souls that don’t own a ps5
Can't wait to buy a ps6 to play ps5 games at 60fps...
Just remember. A Blacc man does the voice for Kratos.. Living Single if you ain’t know.
Heyy ...its ..NXGamer ... isn't he..?
Man the are so many cool PS games i wanna play and i WILL play them
I'd like to see them cap the cutscenes at 30fps, otherwise it loses its dramatic brilliance.
To whoever made the thumbnail, if you mirror an image of Kratos his tattoo will look incorrect because its on the wrong side, why do people still mirror images they arent suppost to, you mirror images that will still look correct even if they are mirrored like with simetrical designs!
I swear I don’t see any difference with these videos lol and it never really is that much different
Used to love Digital Foundry until this guy came along. So much better. So much more in-depth. Well done IGN. And I don’t say THAT every day!
In case anyone wondering Michael is an actual coder and a hw engineer as opposed to those fakers from Digital Forgery
If SONY/Fromsoftware aren't working on a Bloodborne patch my disappointment will be immeasurable and my days forever ruined.
If PS4 is Pro then PS5 is Expert
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"It gives you a great performance" 10/10 IGN
Does this mean sony dont have to make ps6 anymore? 😂😂 I hope so
Only here for NX Gamer
hoping for a 60fps bloodborne patch
I played this at 1080p on a base PS4 and it was the best gaming experience I've ever had. I watched this video at the same resolution on my laptop and became quickly bored at the comparisons. No matter your resolution or fps, this game should not be missed.
I have yet to play this game, yet here I am, by the time I get a chance to play it, Ragnarok will be already out smh
The best game on the PS5 so far
How are you gonna steal the word transformative.....
IGN finally has someone that actually knows what they're talking about... And just to remind everyone, the Series S is more powerful than the PS5! Yes IGN, I'm not going to let people forget that idiotic video you released.
series S more powerful than what?😂🤣
""Any School College Student here........
what a terrible video...it felt like i was at math class. just tell us if it runs well and we are satisfied
It will always remain a Godly Masterpiece.

NX is a great acquisition. Love his analisys
It’s easier to climb that bloody mountain than find a ps5
@NiightDJ at retail?
It’s easy to find one
@Mr Moustachiocongrats u don’t know how lucky u are
GBG I love your Chanel keep it up!!🔥
Got mine on launch day. Wasn’t that hard
I'd totally be down AC Unity in 60 fps, easily the most hated yet underrated game in the series.
The NX :)
With every new of these comparative videos I see how mediocre PS5 SSD drive is. How can a SSD loads ONLY 8 seconds faster than a mechanical hard drive?
Probably because these games ultimately weren't built specifically for the PS5 you dumbass.
I'm playing it for the first time, and on the 5. It's so.... beautiful
Omg that accent is awesome! 🔥
The franchise died after they move to norse mythology
No. Actually, it gave fresh life to the franchise.
I hope more titles will be improved
It does get a performance boost.. it isn't a complete PS5 game now though.. it still can run without the SSD on your external HD.
Is it just me or do I see ps4 pro on both sides when their comparing?
I’m confused cause I’m seeing ps4 pro on both sides?
NXG
I tought FPS was first person shooter ... this is madness
its both
Where's the Knack performance review???
Why this guy sounds like he just copypasted his script from wikipedia for the f̶i̶r̶s̶t̶ ̶5̶ ̶m̶i̶n̶u̶t̶e̶s̶ whole of this video? xD
Woaw I Need Mr. Kratos with Long Hair!!! Or Wear a Nice Sexy Wig!!! 😆😆😆
I love how you are the only one who mentions the three modes of BC on PS5.... perhaps you could consider a video explaining it for the average layman, like me. Great video, missing your regular NX Gamer content though.

@this is what Garbage looks like ! everyone is mentioning in the comments. are u blind?
@Shvabicu "tHiS gUy nEvEr hEaRd oF Nx gAmer" lol chill out NERD! LOL
@Ricardo Barbosa please point out when I said anything about NX? Actually no one even mentioned it and yet here you are talking about it! Smh
To be honest DF is getting annoying lately. NX gamer is far better in my opinion
@this is what Garbage looks like ! Just check his channel and your gonna regret what you've said.
This game is truly beautiful, it's my first GoW along with my first PS, wish I could play the older ones but apparently backwards compatibility is not a thing in playstation, kind of a bummer I've always had an xbox and you can play games all the way back to the OG xbox
@Fountain of Fire I tried it, couldn't play for an hour because the connection is so unstable
