God of War Ragnarök: PS4 players can be reassured, Sony explains why

If it is essentially the PS5 version which is put forward during the promotional campaign of God of War Ragnarök, we should not forget that the game is also expected on PS4. Moreover, our colleagues from Eurogamer had the opportunity to discuss the subject with Bruno Velazquez, the animation director. "Of course, as an animator, I like when the framerate is high - I want it to be as smooth as possible, he explains. With God of War Ragnarök, from the start, we knew that the game would be released on PS4 because we didn't want to turn our backs on the people who enjoyed God of War on that console. Making it the best PS4 game possible was agreed upon from the beginning of the project. Our goal was to make it even better. than God of War on every level. In fact, the PS5 version is just the icing on the cake."


Before adding: "Given that we wanted to create the best PS4 game possible, we pushed the limits in terms of visual fidelity, content, story. On PS5, it is more about haptic feedback, audio 3D, high framerate, more detailed graphics and textures. It really is the icing on the cake. Naturally, playing on PS5 is the way to enjoy the game in its best form, but on PS4, God of War Ragnarök does part of the games that push it back to its last entrenchments."

Bruno Velazquez ensures that at no time did the teams have the impression of being handicapped by the PS4. "There are a number of things that we absolutely wanted to achieve, such as closing the story, doubling the cast, having a richer bestiary, or even creating executions specific to certain weapons. Everything that we wanted to integrate from the start, "We were able to do it on PS4," he explains. "So we never felt like we were being held back by technical constraints. PS5 was just a way to make the game better." Speaking of the PS5, remember that God of War Ragnarök will be able to run at 120fps. Yes, it's going to be a big treat.

The release of the game is scheduled for November 9, knowing that our test will be online on November 3 at 17 p.m.
