Senua's Saga: Hellblade II announced (Xbox Series X)
- Thread starter Sargerus
- Start date
The only games they did that with were Hellblade and Heavenly Sword. Both lean into straight theater style acting
Meanwhile the acting in Enslaved and DmC is similar to hollywood films.
Frankly, a song and setting like this does not warrant a subdued performance.
I think its rough trying to do screaming or shouting or intense pain with these filmed faces. Look at mama in death stranding. That under the rubble seen is laughably bad.
Hopefully they steer away from it in hellblade 2.
I really need to playthrough one now.
Image quality on this is bonkers
Don't be a dumdum. TLOU2 looked better than anything we had ever seen. All of a sudden it looks dated. I am just expressing my surprise and delight. Kay?
I really hope they don't ruin the first game's message by turning her into some sort of killing machine or whatever. It is the same devs so they understand her well presumably and I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
They made something beautiful it'd be a shame if they threw that away for spectacle.

With no info on the story or what NT is reaching for with this sequel, it's also easy to dismiss the criticisms here.
at least wait for NT to talk more about the game before sounding off.
I mean, literally the last line uttered by Senua in Hellblade is
We have another story to tell.
yeah i have faith that they will deliver something worthwhile. all of these hot takes are kind of tiring
Looks great, hopefully MS stick to their manifesto of 4k 60fps, because playing this game at 60 would be great. If it's another tech demo at 30 then what's the point?
Raytracing is not just about reflections, all the lighting is raytraced which gives a more natural look to everything.
I haven't finished the first yet but assuming
you die or the world ends or something
Give me that Series X, I have time to finish, and be ready.

So Ninja Theory hasn't branched out at all - that is disappointing. Strike one so far ... this game is definitely not for me
Finish the game
???
This trailer isn't even a month old...
Such a bad take since they literally announced a multiplayer brawler at E3.
Some of the volumetric lighting with the mushroom cloud looked raytraced
This is left open for interpretation. There's basically two theories (real fights vs all in her head) on what happened in the game and I don't think there's stronger support for either one.
Don't bother, that poster will never say anything positive in a Microsoft thread.
You know, 2007 was the first time I was blown away with facial animation. Heavenly Sword and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune did that to me.
The dark trailer, and the terrible youtube compression makes this a bit hard to analyse but I certainly didn't think it was real time the first time I saw. It looks amazing.
I think this game will receive lots of complaints of graphics downgrade. The Godfall trailer looked like something easily achievable next gen. In fact it looked disappointing.

All their characters look like Halloween rejects, so no not much positive to say. I'm interested to see what the response is from gaming community. Like I said, not for me. Hopefully the other MS studios are branching out a bit more
I've never seen you say anything positive in a Microsoft or Xbox thread. I have seen you say plenty of odd or nonsensical things in Microsoft and Xbox threads though🤷♂️
You've moved the goalpost. You went from "they haven't branched out" to "Well I don't like the character design in two games that have completely different art direction."
So, the acquisition made an already planned sequel to multiplatform title an exclusive. How great for gamers.
There is no different art direction. As for MS, I love Ori - it's my favorite game, period. So it will be interesting to see what Moon studios does or doesn't do. I'm hopeful for a decent Fable game, and the new Forza will look great
Could care less about Halo Infinite and this, though. And the console - that is just one fat brick. It will be interesting to see the general republic's reaction to it

On what grounds is anyone believing that's the graphics of the game? Nothing about that looked like gameplay of any kind.
Your statement on Ninja Theory not branching out is objectively wrong though. Their next game is a competitive online brawler.
After that they're releasing a next gen sequel to a critically acclaimed game they developed.
We're talking about two games, one of which uses incredibly stylized character designs:
and a game that aims for total photorealism:
This is literally the exact definition of different art direction. On top of the games being in completely different genres. Like dude, stop stating things without thinking the statement through.
The console supposedly has a dedicated chip for RT so devs are going to use it....but you can tell just by the global illumination quality.
What exactly do you want from them? A full-fledged Hellblade sequel with AAA funding is exactly what I would expect. I mean didn't think it would be actually be Hellblade, but this in line with what they do and I think it will be successful.
No one saying that. That doesn't change the fact that what they showed was impressive though and not just technically, but creatively.
You could look at it that way. But it's clearly given the game a much larger budget. And the game is still releasing on PC. And PS4 owners weren't going to be able to play it either way if it was always destined to be a next gen game.
