Yeah it's clearly building off GOW 2018. Not a complete overhaul of the graphicsI don't think he made a formal assessment of how the game is technically.
It does in some ways feel like a shaper and smoother ps4 game. Horizon fw had this as well.
The "problem" is that Sony fans (which I am) are not like Xbox fans that take any cross gen game and tout it as true "next gen" like they did for Forza Horizon 5 and Halo I.
GoW 2022 is still one of the best looking games out there .
I am fine with it. There are pros and cons to each direction. If they went with the graphics overhaul then we would definitely end up with less content. This is going to be an insane amount of content built on the 2018 framework. Like God of War 2 was.
The move to the next mythology will be a good opportunity to push things forward in that way
