God of War Ragnarok - PS5 vs PC vs Steam Deck | Technical review including Patch 5 tested

This guy continues to make the PS5 look better than the PC. Why is this not across the board. Hmmm

The delta in the volume of your voice-over compared to every other sound in this video is wild, man. You're at half the volume of anything else. Maybe even one third.

You have no idea how supreme this game looks maxed out on the PS5. With hidden shaders hidden textures and hidden lighting effects activated. it destroys the pc version thoroughly just like God of war 2018 does graphically on the PS5 maxed out

Excellent Video as per norm

Kinda crazy tthat they were able to get some effects on PS5 to be higher than ultra.

I'm building a PC. It's my first build, and I can't wait!!!!

Also headsup. Steam users from around the world can absolutely create a PSN account using a country that is nearby in their region but they will not be able to get assistance if the currency ever gets in the way of things.
Its been HIGHLY exaggerated that people are breaking Sony's TOS as this has been the rule for the longest time and Sony has even said it themselves. I remember making multiple accounts back in the day to play free demos and different version of playstation home, and there was no issue. The only issue is if you are trying to buy things and a dispute occurs with regards to the differing currency.

I actually found the game to be better on PC. Native 4K and 120 fps.

Bare in mind though. Whether people like it or not Sony will not allow a flagship title to be superior to its PS5 version. No way in hell.

I can fully see on my 4090/7800X3D combo and after playing games like Wukong and FF16...the PC can easily push past PS5 and Pro...its been proven many times...

Unfortunately these ports although great are not improved to take advantage of PC hardware... although FF16 is ...

Great work Mike. Keep up the quality content.

Good vid, I played on my ps4 pro looks kinda heavy for pc and I assume that Quality mode will 60 with the pro patch

565.90 driver has a bug. The game freezes after 90 minutes. Lots of people talked about it on Steam. We discovered it was the driver that was causing it at 561.09 does not have this issue.
volumetric fog (Atmospherics also disappear on 32:9 if FPS is higher than 90-100FPS). To mitigate this I had locked the game to 90 FPS (and I am using an RTX 4090).

This really seems too early out the oven, especially seeing my RX 6800 running worse than PS5.

Another bug is with Screen space reflections on any upscalers. They look overly pixilated which even shows in your own footage and I've seen it from other channels like Benchmark King. My guess it's an issue with filtering on those SSR based reflections. The addition of those perspective correct cube maps + ray tracing would be very nice to have on PC as well. Maybe they could go a bit further and just do RT reflections without falling back on SSR

AMD GPUs get destroyed by NVIDIA in this game.

One of the best videos explaining comparison, all of it as a whole top notch… And the sad thing about it is you have other channels who are bigger and call themselves analyst, but not even talking about what he’s talking about. This guy deserves the views the likes and his channel should definitely blow up. Keep up the good work, man.

Poor team PC Port a lot of missing detail then PS5

This PS5 pro with PSSR is going to hurt Steam gamers feelings a lot 😂

Watching your analyses, I've realized how ill-equipped PCs are for gaming. It's an office machine with duct-taped gaming functionality added on top.

If you want to get every megabyte out of your VRAM switching off Windows animations and transparency saves a few hundred and got me down to 300mb at startup.

Love the lil Megadeth intro song ❤🤘🏻

Is that Megadeth at the start of the video? Kudos..

Ps5 pro support confirmed will you be testing that version also?

Love the vid! Will you be getting the PS5 Pro when it comes out? Would love to get your take on the new bit of kit.

Bought and played this on PS5. Can’t justify buying again on my 7900xt PC- the PS5 version is fantastic.

I don’t know why people complain about signing in to PSN, it’s not a big deal…. Especially those who review bomb and give a negative review for a fantastic game, I’ve got 2 copies one on ps5 and the PC version to support the development team

Another banger NXG. See, this is why I like Michael's analysis over DFs. Some really useful information I didn't know I needed but was great to hear and thought provoking and made the video a lot more interesting than just pixel and frame counting. Showing positives on both platforms where available and the caveats mentioned aswell ( price/costs). And best of all, no bias toward any one platform, no sneaky passive agressive comments in the video or downplaying something positive ( depending on the platform ) and certainly no 8gb GPU is all that is needed to match these consoles crap ( you know the one who I'm talking about).

The engine Santa Monica is using is very much made for Playstation consoles. If they used unreal, the Playstation version would run way worse.

How is the steam deck running games worse than the ps4?

Mazie Coves

I mean there definitely is more Kratos than Atreus lol, but yes there were too many Atreus scenes

PC forever above consoles

How the hell ps5 base running faster than rx6800 😅
The pc port must be broken!

the one takeaway from this video for me is……..they did an amazing job with ps5 version.
