It's fiddly graphics we're looking at now. Snow that melts realistically off your clothes, floor which responds to acid blood, cloth/hair movement - yes it looks cool, but once you start playing the game it just takes a back seat so you don't notice it.
Apparently in God of War III Krato's veins bulged when he hit things (which he did a lot) - I never noticed.
Ground Zeroes looks about the same graphical power as what the PS4 has shown so far. Sure the emotions of Cage's next Heavy Rain-like game will look great - but we're already at the level where they look good enough to cause a response. Making them look better won't make that response any more powerful. I also hate to think what the development cost is for such a level of detail.
Also they added a touch pad to the controller - and did nothing with it but move the camera. The right stick does this, and if your playing a face paced game you're not going to use the touch pad as it's going to be hard to hold the controller that way. Why even have it - if your not going to give us a reason to actually have it?
