Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice now also rated for Xbox One in Taiwan
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
If this is true, I plan to...have a PS4 pro but didn't get it then. Will def pick it up on Xbox to support more games like these on the platform tho.
It's a fairly simple combat-action-adventure with a really interesting focus on mental health and staggeringly good visual and audio design. Like, regardless of this being an indie game the sound effects and visuals are some of the best you'll find in any game. The gameplay is a mix of exposition almost by way of walking sim, fairly straightforward environmental/perspective puzzling and sword combat. I really liked the balance for the most part and it lasted me about 8-9 hours, which is perfect for a linear game of this nature. If you do buy it I hope you enjoy it bud - I know that Ninja Theory said it became profitable a few months ago so hopefully this port will bring in lots of cash to let them keep doing what they're doing.
Well I'll pick it up even if this turns out to not be true. My backlog is just to damn big between X, PS, and Switch :-(
Any chance this could translate into a ps4 disc with English, kind of like Shadow of the beast and nioh complete?
Awesome! The more success this game and the studio that made it is able to get the better. Seeing it sell even more will just further prove that inflated budgets are not necessary to make a high quality product in the modern age with all the tools at developer's disposal. Here's hoping it does well for them on the new platform.
Footage of this always seemed similar to Ryse to me an dI mean that as a compliment because I love Ryse. If it's X enhanced I might jump in.
It makes a lot of sense for them to support the 1X. If done right it will definitely be the best looking console version and hopefully they add support for dolby atmos.
Again, you are talking about theoretical scenarios that can absolutely happen (at least partly), but don't apply to Hellblade. I say partly because I don't even think you can build an engine that supports the PS4/XBO but not the Pro and X. Not to a degree that you can't easily correct it.
It even says for that UE4 X update that X isn't even a separate build platform. This is no "omg no way I can fix this without Epic in any reasonable timeframe" situation. It's not a Switch. It's another Xbox that plays the same games running on the same engines, but potentially better with miniscule changes on the dev's part.
Hellblade came out well after the Pro, for which it offered enhancements, and now the port comes out well after the X.
All the games you listed came out before the X, and now you draw a comparison to a game that is already Pro enhanced since launch and is yet to even come out on Xbox?
As I already explained, the Pro is a different console to the PS4 and the X is a different console to the Xbox one.
Developers don't sit their typing 1's and 0's into a command prompt, they often rely on various pieces of software to support the end format. If hat support isn't there this can make it unfeasble to do.
I don't really know what else I can say to explain this to you, I've tried to be informative and give you very specific examples also, I can only assume you are trolling now.
Let's go right back to the very original post.
I've given you the reasons why others don't consider it a given, but you still claim that others are being unreasonable to be reasonable.
For the record, I expect that new release games will support the X, however I fully see why some game won't or may never support it.
You are being a bit rude now
I've tried to explain that the X and Pro are not as different to the base consoles as the Switch is. It's simply a fact. Many of the difficulties of porting engines and games simply do not apply here. This is why even with the most outdated SDKs and engines, they have 100% compatibility out of the box (just not making full use of all resources). If it was as you say, this alone would be impossible.
They might not support it out of ignorance, and that would even be ok. It's their decision. But there is simply no good technical reason to keep using an Xbox SDK from a year ago for a port of a game that comes out more than half a year after the launch of the X. And like I said (which I don't think you know either) I'm not even sure whether you are allowed to ship such a game.
Taking this and the Pro support into consideration, I don't fully see why a game such as Hellblade shouldn't support the X. I think (?) it would be the first game under the same of kind circumstances that doesn't support one of the consoles.
