And just like that Xbox has finally shown something that makes me regret not being an xbox player, something that hasn't happened at all through the entire gen. That trailer was phenomenal, I love the main actress and visuals were amazing. What a first showing for next-gen!

Looks cool. Time for me to finish Hellblade: I got stuck on the fire labyrinth over a year ago and never came back to it.

Not quite sure how a sequel would be as the first game was mostly allegorical and not literal, but it was very good so I'm looking forward to it.

Looks damn good. But I'm not sure the game needed a sequel. Wait and see, but I still love the art direction.

Honestly, this is one of the better trailers I've seen over the past few years.

Very excited for the game!

Considering Ninja Theory agreed to an acquisition it's possible a sequel wouldn't have happened at all, let alone one with this kind of potential due to the massive financial backing they have now.

It's always possible with independent studios, but it's also possible the sequel would have happened without Microsoft's involvement.

The fact that the sequel has come as far as this can be contributed to Microsoft.

Obviously next gen game looks better than a current gen game, animations included, and obviously bigger budget enables them to improve visuals even further. The reveal trailer makes it seem like there's a shift in tone, which isn't an improvement if that's the case, considering how the original was a deeper and well-made portrayal of mental illness.



As for how the original looked in CG reveal trailer, in comparison to what was released.

Era: "MS won't ever make games like Hellblade!"

MS:" Tada!"

Era: " Did Hellblade NEED a sequel? Why are they forcing Ninja Theory to make a sequel?"

This trailer was incredible yo. And to think the main chick is not a trained actress.

Norse mythology is hot shit right now. Lol

I need to check out the first game, but from what I saw it was simple.

Can anyone give a quick description of the fundamentals? I don't wanna go in blind.

Looks good.
This is probably the only studio acquisition that affected me personally and it sucked big time.
Hopefully they will release it on other platforms so I can play the sequel as well.
