Many God of War fans are hoping for a remake and wondering about its visual potential. Fortunately, a video offers a dazzling answer to this question: the result is simply sublime!
Like many games that become classics, God of War sparks discussions about a possible remake. Many fans are asking for a modernized version of the game with current graphics. One fan partially fulfilled this expectation by creating an impressive concept video. This achievement shows the potential of such a remake and arouses the desire to rediscover the game world with a contemporary touch. It remains to be seen whether Sony will one day formalize such a project…
God of War: a remake that we would like
Digital artist Teaserplay, known for his concept videos, has revealed a new concept for a God of War remake using Unreal Engine 5. This creation follows his previous video which imagined a potential trailer for a The Mandalorian game, which had charmed Star Wars fans. In this new video, Teaserplay revisits the universe of God of War by setting Kratos in ancient Greece, using advanced technologies such as Epic’s Nanite and Lumen, as well as ray tracing, thus offering an impressive vision of a possible remake of the game.
For the record, Nanite represents a major advance in the field of 3D rendering for video games. This technology aims to significantly simplify the management of 3D models and textures for developers and artists. It allows the creation of 3D models with great detail, as well as the use of very high resolution textures.
Unreal Engine 5 and technological power
For its part, Lumen represents a major advance in the field of lighting. This technology allows developers to design games with dynamic, realistic lighting, instantly reacting to changes in in-game lighting conditions. Unlike static or pre-computed lighting methods, Lumen takes moving light sources into account. But also reflective surfaces in real time. As a result, light spreads naturally throughout the game environment, creating highly authentic light and shadow effects. In short, it’s more beautiful.
In the video, although Kratos’ model has some differences, this fake gameplay offers a fascinating look at what a remake could look like, although the chances of an official redesign seem slim… Additionally, Sony Santa Monica , the studio behind the original game, uses its own proprietary game engine.
