Welcome to the official God of War Photography Thread. :)

God of War, the soft reboot of the iconic GoW series, finally hits the shelves. Great critical acclaim had already rushed ahead a whole week before its arrival.
Among the game's many accomplishments, its visuals shine especially brightly. The designers and artists of Santa Monica Studio brought a vast, awe-inspiring and breathtakingly beautiful fantasy world to life for us, let's capture that beauty from our point of view and share it in this thread with everybody.

A proper photo mode with tons of options is already underway and will be patched in later today:



Before we start this off, please take a look at the rules of this thread...

Thread Rules:
1) Two screenshots per post and two consecutive posts allowed. If after 24 hours no one else replies one can post two consecutive posts again.
2) Put the console (PS4 or PS4 Pro) in the first line of your post, also specify if gameplay or photo mode shot.
3) 4K PS4 Pro screens are allowed, 1080p screens are however highly recommended.

"4) Don't post screens of boss fights, vital story scenes or late game locations until July 20th!!!"

Making a quick retreat to avoid spoilers, but holy shit is this game pretty. Lighting looks insane in that first shot Tyaren posted, can't wait to see what this looks like in HDR.

This may be a ridiculous question but for the pro owners that are posting 1080P downsampling, I take it you don't have a 4K tv?

Tyaren I have two beautiful shots (I think they are nice). One from boss fight finale (boss we have seen in story trailer and since everyone knows how that creature ends up, I thought i could add that screen showing just the mouth of the boss with Kratos) and second one from other realm than Midgard (not spoilery, just Kratos covered in blood). Can I post them or I have to wait until July 20th?

Even if you don't own a 4K TV you can still do 4K resolution screens. ;) I set my screenshots to 1080p, because they look crispest and cleanest like this, since most Pro games don't reach a full 4K resolution and look a bit blurry in full size.

Guys does the game have black bars all around the frame of your TV like explained here?

I also don't have any black bars
