It's funny that a 7 year old console is more powerful than the Wii U, judging by the graphics in this game.

For tech savvys, how is the Wii U's cpu compared to the ps3's?...

ABizzel14094d ago

This is what Nintendo has done the last 3 console gen. Gamecube we on par with current-gen expectations. The Wii is a Gamcube that uses the same tech with a 50% boost in performance to the CPU, GPU, and RAM. The Wii-U is basically a Wii with improved tech that uses 3 Wii CPU's boosted nearly 50% in performance, 4x the RAM of the PS360 (Wii-U 2GB shared vs. 512MB PS360), and a GPU that's slightly more powerful than the PS360.

The problem is the Wii-U is significantly slower than the PS360 thanks to so poor calls on speeds of RAM and the CPU. The RAM isn't as big of a problem simply because there's more to pull from (still slow), but the CPU is what holds the Wii-U back. The Wii-U and 360 CPU's are both Tri-Core processors (3 cores), but the Wii-U runs a 1.243 GHz while the 360 runs at 3.0GHz. However, the 360's can do dual threading which makes it a pseudo 6-core CPU while the Wii-U is stuck at 3-cores. Obviously 6 is better than 3, and that's really what it all boils down to. You can push a lot more data out of the 360's CPU than you can the WIi-U which will prevent it from ever living up to it's potential unless they purposely under-clocked the CPU by a large amount.

Not really, I think the poor graphical performance is thanks to the gamepad, the Wii U needs to render what's in there too.

Ok dont kill me everyone but .....is anyone else thinking we dont need ps4 yet....
Im very happy with ps3....the thing is as the consoles get better and better the needto make new consoles is going to be less and less....

God Of War Tried Multiplayer Too Early

God of War's forgotten multiplayer mode was introduced nearly a decade ago, but it may have been a great addition if it was implemented now.

Ruined Ascensions story mode. Taking away the one button parry sucked.

abstractel510d ago

Not saying it was perfect but I really enjoyed it. One of the more unique MP experiences. Wouldn't mind them trying again.

Palitera510d ago

It was nuts that they actually managed to make that experience work so well.
The story might have been the weakest (story-wise) in the main series, but the MP was super fun and well done.

hotnickles510d ago

I don’t play god of war for the multiplayer so it’s always too soon in my book.

Ranking the God of War Games

Kratos has been on a rampage, killing Gods in epic battles since 2005. With each release managing to offer high-octane action, I explore each God of War title and rank every adventure from his journey to Olympus to his Norse tales of fatherhood.

I won’t rank Ragnarok just yet, although it is honestly leaving me and my wife blown away…won’t go into details right now, not done as I assume others aren’t either, maybe some of you are, idk haha.

But here’s how I rank them

5. God of War 3
4. God of War Ascension.
3. God of War 1.
2. God of War 2.
1. God of War 2018.

MrNinosan521d ago

My same ranking exactly, with Ragnarök at #1.

ClayRules2012521d ago

Wow, that’s pretty interesting that someone has the same ranking as me haha. So, did you beat Ragnarok? I assume so with you placing it at #1

Flawlessmic521d ago

1. God of war 3
2. God of war 2018
3. God of war 2
4. God of war 1

Haven't played the others but about 30 hrs In to ragnarock now so safe to say if it keeps up it will end up being at the top of my list when I'm done.

CrimsonWing69521d ago

I will say the pacing of the original titles and the epic feel to them I feel is way better than the new one’s. Like, I could recognize and appreciate the praise God of War received, but it bores me to tears except for the pivotal moments.

However, that being said I feel Ragnarok is waaaaay better than 2018. I’m only on Ch. 6, but it’s pretty much rocked my face off from the get-go.

I’m really split between this being my GotY or Elden Ring.

robtion521d ago

I think different games in the series had different strengths but all are great. I liked the original as it was an origin story and the mechanics were fresh. The sequel added smoother gameplay. Three was just so far ahead of it's time graphically it wasn't even funny. Plus great gameplay and bosses and insane gore and nice use of sexy time. The reboot was cool but lost a lot of what I liked about the original trilogy (I don't need my games grown up, just fun). Will wait and see with ragnarok as haven't had time to play it yet.

Every God of War Game Ranked From Worst To Best

BLG writes: "God of War has evolved significantly since the first game launched in 2005. Each subsequent entry has brought something new to the series, be it new power sets, fighting styles, and in the case of the 2018 reboot, a whole new combat system. Therefore, a major component in ranking every God of War game is that game’s impact on the franchise."

2 is my all time favorite with Ascension being my least (but still worth playing). First time dealing with the colossus of rhodes as well as the scale of the steeds of time... just a great game overall.

Nacho_Z797d ago

3 is the best for me, closely followed by the reboot. The reboot lost some of the spectacular scenes in favour of deeper gameplay, 3 was jaw dropping at times. I'm hoping the next game will have the best of both.

Army_of_Darkness796d ago

Yeah 3 was my favorite as well! The Poseidon battle was amazing! Gameplay wise and graphically!

neutralgamer1992797d ago

Honestly first 2 were amazing. I really wanted Sony yo bring back David jaffe and have him do his own version of God of war reboot working in different mythology. David and Cory could make sure story made sense but I think God of war is a big enough series where multiple entries at the same time

nevin1797d ago

1. GOW 3
1. GOW 2
2. GOW: Ghost of Sparta
3. GOW 1
4. GOW: Chains of Olympus
5. GOW(2018)
6. GOW: Ascension

generic-user-name797d ago

GOW 2018 2nd from the bottom? Behind 1? Behind the 2 PSP games?

Your street cred is taking a hit today.

Muigi796d ago

1. Gow 2018
2. Gow 3
3. Gow 2
