Does God of War 3's Art Style Suck?

[@tarouou4988]

I believe the art style is working with the game's vibe. Like, Kratos is literally shredding the whole world, which makes it so that even the colors are fading away. What stands out imo is the bright blood effect splattering around.

The art style isn't ugly itself. It's the color pallet that is predominantly gray and gold with very short sections that switch things up. The previous games had so much variety in color pallet from level to level that it helped in making them memorable and feel like a progressive quest. Just off the top of my mind in God of War 1 you have blue, green, yellow, red, gold, gray. And the locations themselves vary so much. Sea, city battlefield, oracle's temple, desert, Pandora's temple, the labyrinth, Hades, Kratos family Dreamworld, the cliff

I kinda agree... When i first played gow 3 some sections felt so dark and felt so dead, it was kinda understandable because it was our fault for ruining the world, when i first completed gow 1 and gow 2 it felt epic and cool while when i first completed gow 3 it didn't feel that good because of the dark and non vibrant tone, i actually didn't like it more than gow 2 and gow 1, but after fully completing gow 4 I decided to give gow 3 another try and i tried weapons other than the nemean cestus and blades of exile and then i experienced true fun trying some different combos and beating some difficult bosses and thats when gow 3 became my second favourite gow game (gow 2 still remained on top)

[@Don2006]

My one complaint about GOW3's art style is that it does not feel like a Greek epic, whereas 1 and especially 2 did.

[@godzillazfriction]

na... 1 was more in line with a dark and more grittier art style than GOW2s... just look at kratos' character design from GOW 1 and you'll see the differences.... GOW2 had that Epic Mystical art style which was good but was ruined with the weird textures that makes characters and most notably on kratos look like they are covered in a bubble

[@matheuszache7943]

I think when it comes to art GoW 3 hits the spot not just because of the visuals in places like Tartarus or the Chaimber, but especially in how gorgeous it animates and sounds. The minotaur puffing air when you execute him? Beautiful. The chains sound in the blades? Amazing. The overall direction of the cutscenes (That first person POV on Poseidon)? Masterful. And my personal favorite: the gorgon execution. I think I can watch that animation a hundred times. The game's presentation is top notch, despite it's darker excesses imo.

[@blubeard7324]

It sets the setting for the game Like a movie uses a gray gloomy filter to show the dark theme and darkness of the movie.

I like to think after killing helios and the sky goes grey it has a effect on the rest of the game. Cuz that when I noticed the color got significantly blander.

[@juanjuarezjr566]

The art style was great and honestly had a gritty feeling to it

[@NinjaXFiles]

Eh, I'd say a little bit of saturation and the greyed areas in the game would have been 200% more cooler looking. You'd be surprised by the huge difference a bit of saturation effects can make when done right. It makes games look more visually pleasing to look at. But only when properly done. Take shading mods for example, completely changing the way a game looks.

[@godzillazfriction]

most shading mods are just so bad... ruining the original vision of the games look... but yes you can optimize your TV to make GOW3 appear more vibrant if you like it like that... for me, i understand what GOW3 was going for in those segments but I also do like my games to be a little darker and desaturated.... grey and ugly games can really be made beautifully like the Kane and Lynch games especially the 2nd one and even Max Payne 3

[@NinjaXFiles]

​@@godzillazfriction Yeah I understand it as well. In a world where it's literally based on an apocalyptic setting, it's obvious everything has to look grey and make the environment feel like it's dying. And yeah I agree on the shading part LOL, I just used it as an example, I'm not that much of a fan of those. Though I admit I'm curious to see how crazy it would be to mod the OG trilogy

What they should have done was start the game with a saturated color palette, than as Kratos kills gods, it gets darker and darker, to reflect the progression of the world's destruction. That way it isn't a constant switch from bright to dark, back and forth.

[@godzillazfriction]

but it kinda does that don't you think? by thr time you fight zeus, there are souls, tornados, beautiful but destructive beaming light, lighting and tsunamis in the background... how is that bland when compared to the grey filter that zesty is talking about? the garden is still green and has a green aura anyways and hera is dying and so it makes thr plants and the garden even darker...

[@efecal207]

Reason 1- Unlike other Greek games, this time Kratos is slowly destroying the Greek world. The world becomes grayer every time a god dies. The prominent colors are the redness in the blood effects and the grayness of the world. Also, instead of telling an epic adventure story, this game tells a scary revenge story. Reason 2- The first games released on PS3 generally had atmospheres with dark color tones such as grey, brown or green. This was because the developers were just getting used to this console and were using these color tones to make the worlds look realistic. But later, as they got used to this console, they started to make more colorful games. GTA 4 and 5 are an example of this. While GTA 4 has a yellow-gray tone on PS3, GTA 5 is colorful like its other versions. This is also true for other game series. This is usually the case with AAA games that were first released on PS3 and last released on PS3.

[@brianbailey1681]

I like the art style on all the games, although ive always had an issue with kratos skipping leg day, he finally did do leg day the last two games but he does seem a little too bulky at times, and i miss his hunched over posture from the originals, it was awkwardly menacing…especially when he walks up to Poseidon to beat him senseless.

[@zombiedemon1762]

Imagine a game similar to GOW3 but the world and characters are basically like Bioluminescent 3D Shadows. Let me explain this better. I need to paint the correct picture in your mind. So if this game had it's own version of Kratos (but it does not), a good amount of his body would look like a muscular black 3D shadow but the red marks would be made of bioluminescent red flower-like stuff. Also blood would be glowing red bioluminescent. So the new reason his full body tattoo is red (NOT A TATTOO IN THIS VERSION BUT MORE LIKE A PLANT-BASED BIRTH MARK) would be because the bioluminescent blood of his family was magically fused into it. Originally it would be either blue or white bioluminescent flora growth until turned red by the blood of his family. His face skin will become more like white exo-skeleton material infused with the family ashes because he still must be the Ghost Of Sparta. So he has a white crab-like head although kinda human-shaped like the rest of his body. Most of his body will be black like a solid 3D shadow but with bioluminescent red flora growth where his full-body tattoo should be.

[@JohnSmith-lh3ht]

I think one of the highlights of 3's art style is the color filter with certain moves; Blades of Exile's magic attack and Rage of Sparta. And of course the environmental design is phenomenal. While the outdoor sections on Olympus vary wildly in color balance, it really drives home how fucked up and out-of-balance things are getting as more gods die. The scenery near the end of the game delivers on both fronts, I feel. Shows the ruined landscape but without the bleary fog you see in the Upper Gardens, for example, and better colors. But Ascension has the best art style in the whole series, and that's a fact.

[@koldfire_kf]

The Grey filter, in my opinion, suits the game because it's the culmination of the series. It's about the end of Kratos' (Greek) adventure. The grey color reflects depression, because while you're busy smashing pots in Palace Olympus, people are dying out there, people who've done nothing wrong. Imagine yourself just ploughing your farm and suddenly some madlad tosses Poseidon's body into the ocean and boom! You're just, dead. That's the entire point of the game. It's not as vibrant as GoW2 because that game is based on Ambition. How far can you go to change your fate? Chains of Olympus has a very Yellowish theme to show the heat of passion of Kratos to get rid of his nightmares (and to rescue the Sun) and Ghost of Sparta sports a dark theme to show Kratos' dark past. While GoW3 DOES get colourful during the furst Zeus' fight, the place where you encounter Poseidon's princess and in the beginning. But otherwise, it just expresses the state of the world around you, what you've caused in this realm. By the start of the game, everything us bright and colorful By the end, everything is brown, like you've literally turned the world into nothing but soil. Tl;dr Different director in every game

One of my problems with the GoW3 aesthetics lies in graphics. At that time it was developed for the new hardware. First, I think they didn't have enough time and knowledge to utilize their possibilities in the best way. Second: that god awful bright and thick weapon effects, like fire etc. Level 1-2 weapon is ok, but the higher the worse. It covers a lot of the screen and makes unnecessary contrast. It seems to me they were trying to impress with their new effects but in the end... In terms of art... A lot of GoW3 zones just look blunt comapring to those in previous titles.

Technecly the problem is not art style, its lighting.

[@Nikitamiheeff]

Yep, art style in GOW3 has it’s problems, mainly due to the gray-filter, but at least it has a redeeming factors. While in GOW:chains and GOW:ghost I absolutely hated the art style and visuals, I mean every section in this games has some sort of filter to it. Attica - yellow, temple of Helios and Heraclion - gray, Tartarus - green, Atlantis - blue, and in realm of Thanatos it’s the greyest of all grey. Kratos, enemies and environments just blend together most of the time. And it’s even not justified by console limitations, because on psp there was some pretty nice looking games, like Daxter or Medievil.

[@Lord_Kratos69]

Yeah so another reason why is god of war 2 best

[@Godzilla_2008]

Before watching this video I thoght that gow 3's art style was boring, grey, desaturated and ugly but after watching this video I'm very mixed on how to feel about it.

[@frankkennedy6388]

Do people just ignore the fact that Kratos is ENDING THE WORLD. Of course it's going to look bleak. EDIT: "Why does Kratos look so powdery?" Honestly that's what I asked myself in "Ascension" but I realized they improved the detail of being covered in ash, instead of looking a solid white skintone. EDIT 2: "It's not so bad inside of Gaia" 😏

There is no perfect gow to be onest I still kinda love them:)

[@TheWizz03]

What is the background sound name used in this video ??

[@therealKratosfrfr]

Hey zesty would you be continuing the ign guide run of gow 1 ?

[@ExtremeGameplays1]

Of course.

[@dillyjohn103]

My man zesty slowly starting to hate god of war 3

[@enyekem]

That would be a good video, color correcting god of war 3

[@kloky-kv]

I dont remember God of War III having a bad art style, maybe try changing your TV settings?

[@FrostbiteDigital]

Dude, have you considered that the reason why the outside sections look "ugly" after you killed Helios is because the Sun is blocked out forever? The outside world is literally being destroyed and thus everything looks grey and bleak, in contrast to the colourful interior stages. All of this is purely intentional. I'm really struggling to find out what's the issue here.

I agree with you man, this guy is such a damn nitpicker

[@inowrocawianintorunski5812]

I know IT is not the place for this buuut... HOT TAKE: (it's accualy hot take about hot take) „Let's argue" and„ Reading bad revievs" are the BEST series on the chanell.

[@thirdvortex2600]

We are in the age of remakes and remasters I hope they remaster gow1,2 and 3

[@creeperYT9824]

Only gow 2 and 1 not 3

[@thirdvortex2600]

@@creeperYT9824 we wouldn't say no to a gow 3 remake but i agree the important ones are 1 and 2

[@NinjaXFiles]

God of War 2 with modern graphics would be mind blowing.

[@godzillazfriction]

@@thirdvortex2600 kill me... GOW3 was already remastered unless you're talking about an unnecessary remake like TLOU and other games elsewell

[@godzillazfriction]

@@NinjaXFiles be cautious since most remakes and even remasters ruin the originals art style and atmosphere... look at Resident evil 4, the remake doesn't have that dreadful and oppressive atmosphere and art style anymore which is most notably in where leon wakes up to go to the Lago... now for remasters, Bioshock comes to mind as they made things worse for making the architecture look wat too nice and remove effects that enhanced the originals atmosphere and art style... this is just one of many

[@GumersindoH]

So..... Top 5 art styles coming soon?

[@ExtremeGameplays1]

Eh, idk.
