Announcing Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice VR Edition
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
Woooah holy shit. It was already an unbearably tense game, this will be awful. Can't wait!
Shame about no PlayStation but expected I guess.

The sound design is incredible, one of the best games out there to immerse yourself in with a good pair of headphones.
I suspect this is more the reason it's not coming to PSVR rather than Microsoft's acquisition of the studio. For those with a nice PC setup this is going to be pretty cool.
If only they could have finished a version of this for psvr before Microsoft bought them.
Shame.
Shame.
There are 3 or 4 sections in this game that I imagine would be particularly intense for anyone who wasn't expecting a horror game, add in VR and I can't even imagine how some of these are gonna look.
The entire encounter with Garm and several of the trials come to mind immediately.
How do you think PSVR can run the game if the VR requirments system are asking for a GTX 1080?
PSVR can't run Hellblade at 90fps.
Downgrade?
I mean, there are games like RE7 that on the PS4Pro look very good... why they can't run it?
Impossible maybe just if there is some stop from Microsoft... or they don't consider PSVR as remunerative enough...
Spending 15 minutes at a time wandering around bland environments hoping for glyphs to align sounds dull. It was bad enough outside of VR.
There are a few segments of the game where I feel this would suit really well, but the full game? It doesn't sound like an interesting addition to me.

They have been prototyping/working on the VR mode for 2 years, this has nothing to do with Microsoft acquisition, did you watch the video?
RE7 is not Hellblade, Hellblade is way more taxing in resources. RE7 runs at 60fps on base consoles, Hellblade is a 30fps game, they need 90fps for the VR mode.
Read above. Do you think it's worth it to lower the graphics for a VR mode?
Lower the graphical settings and resolution?
PSVR could do it but the hit on graphics would make it look a lot worse. As cool as this is, unless you have a Pro, the graphics would need to take a big hit.
I'm just glad we got the HDR patch.

They downgraded alot already and are working on it for 2 years already like they said in the vid and it still needs a 1080.
This has been on my list forever, but VR has made it a Day One for me. With everything I've heard about the sound design and themes, this sounds like the only way to play.
Ugh. Or maybe not.
Just before people forget how taxing Hellblade is...
The game requires a monster rig in the first place to hold high framerates at high resolutions, this is probably a larger than necessary requirement for 90Hz and higher than 1080p resolution, I'd assume a 1070 might handle the game with settings turned down.
Yes exactly, the VR mode was in works for 2 years prior to MS acquisition, buy yes, it's MS fault because they bought NT.
Yes. A hundred percent, yes. I don't know why you assumed I or anyone else mentioning a psvr version would be magically expecting it to look identical, or honestly anywhere even close, to the current version.
Not to mention the team working on Hellblade has been rather small compared to games like RE7, and it's even smaller nowadays as most of Ninja Theory already moved onto a brand new game. The Microsoft acquisition is extremely recent, no way it changed their plans regarding the VR version of this game. Besides, we've seen with Minecraft among others that them acquiring a studio does not mean that suddenly every other console version of their games loses support.
Can we please not have people shitposting that this is Microsoft mandating that PSVR cannot be supported, the game is incredibly taxing and targets 30 FPS on consoles, they would have to make some extreme sacrifices to have it approach a high frame rate to deliver a good VR experience on base PS4 hardware.
Is there a performance chart that shows how the game runs at 1080P? I would pick it up if I knew I could get 60FPS on my setup.
Sorry i'm at work so I can't watch the video and missed some informations that are not readable if not watching the video itself... :P
Well I will still hope they can do some magic...
Fwiw, my 970 rig runs the game at a locked 60 with the settings turned down one notch to High.
But if the Switch can run Doom and Wolfenstein 2, surely the PS4 could run this in VR!
Resident VII was already a flawless 60fps on base consoles.
For hellblade only has a 60fps mode on Pro and X, and even on X it can dip to mid 40s, on top of that the game has dynamic res between 720p and 1080p on Pro with 60 fps mode.
They would have to completely rework the game and likely drop the resolution even lower to PSVR be possible on Pro, let alone on base console.
