Game looks good and is up there with the best of them.

But i can't see a major difference between this and the other big hitters

They also seem to have taken a hit frame rate wise...we looking at a steadfast 30FPS. Gameplay doesnt seem to budge past it apart from cutscenes and when the player loses control.

Yeah they can make improvements come release...but lets be realistic here. We are 6 years into the ps3's lifecycle and these guys have already taken the console to its limits...there really doesnt seem to be anymore performance left in the console. Im thinking we will see a slight improvement come release..nothing major.

Still one of the best looking console games this gen. Hell GOW3 could have simply re-released and it would still be one of the best looking console games this gen

This is how it was with GoW III. The E3 demo of GoW III was running at 30-35 fps (like the Ascension demo) and then the final version of GoW III ran at 40+ fps.

You can check it out here if you scroll to the bottom they do a FPS comparison between the demo version and the final retail version of the game

Completely different situation though.

 

GOW3 was the studios first PS3 game. If you watch the making of GOW3 Stig says very clearly how they wernt at all ready for the reveal. You also get to see some of the meetings where they scrap a lot of the things they had planned. Increasing performance and making the game look polished is not what they were concentrating on at the e3 reveal.

Looking at GOW:A its different. They already had a complete,polished game to work from.

I'm not saying the game won't improve...but I just don't think the improvements will be that major like it was the last time.
