Let's hope we won't wait too long to know what their next single player game is. Personally I thought Bleeding Edge would be a gritty Sci-Fi Melee game not this stylized online game.
Meh. Multiplayer games with weirdo characters are not my jam.
So many do this kind of artstyle nowadays.
Sucks that it leaked though especially so close before the show.

That is the inherent risk of doing a big live show. Multiple people (both internal and external) have to know ahead of time to put together the presentation, rehearsals have to be done, etc. The more people that know about this, the more likely leaks occur.
A project doesn't enter full production immediately. At the time they were negotiating with MS they probably just had a prototype made by a relatively small team
The only reason I'm even going to look at this game is because it's Ninja Theory. If it was just a random dev this wouldn't be on my radar at all.
Pay no attention to him, He's a Sony fanboy.
Sucks the game leaked though. I think it looks awesome.
You don't have to feel bad for the parent company, but you should feel bad for NT. Even I feel bad and I wanted leaks.
No they don't. When Microsoft purchased them, they were promised full creative freedom. Ninja wanted to make this, Microsoft won't say no. It would be a shitty thing to do and say oh yea no Ninja your not making a Multiplayer game we want single player. You'll burn a lot of bridges with that.
So you want them to just churn out the same thing every time? It's like the Blur vs Oasis thing. Oasis just kept doing the same thing over and over, becoming so boring. Blur and Damon Albarn in particular made some mad experimental stuff but come out of it much more respected as an artist.
In any event, I thought it was common knowledge this was what they were doing. It's been known for a while they were making a multi-player brawler. I just think people were in denial.
Doesnt change the fact that people wanted something similar like Enslaved or Hellblade. A single player game from NT what they are known of.
Multiplayer hero games are really hit or miss in success, just look at the plethora we've gotten over the past 5 years and how many survived. I think only Overwatch/Paladins/For Honor seem to have survived or done exceptionally well.
I think the game will do well thanks to game pass but without it, probably would do quite bad unless it was f2p and even then would have been tricky.
MS is owner/publisher. This game wouldn't be happening if MS wasn't supportive of it. Full stop. To say "MS has nothing to do with this game" is ridiculous. It's a wild overreaction to some of the shit posting in this thread.
Bro if you aren't even going to read the OP then why even? This game has been in dev since 2014. MS Acquired them what a year, maybe a little more ago. You're telling me they put resources on this in 2014 to maybe be bought out by MS 4 years late. Can I borrow your tin foil hat?
If it's anything like For Honor I could see it doing really well. The biggest things will be how it feels to play and it's loot progression model.
Why all these pre-emptive persecution complexes? Come on, son. These kind of MP games appeal to an audience that is represented rather poorly on ResetERA. It's fine, not everyone has to like it.
If they leaked a Ninja Theory trailer of a big RPG or single-player title, people would have went nuts in here. Don't make everything into console wars.

I see what you're saying here. I think their argument is that bottom line this isn't a multiplayer game because of MS, but yes MS has something to do with the game for sure.
Oh. There will be a lot of trolling, downplaying and ridiculous amounts of salt. What do you expect? Sony isn't having a conference. Trolls will be out in full force trying to do what they do best. Lmao. Anyway hope MS puts out a great show for Xbox fans.
Lmao. Very true.

I'm playing Hellblade at the moment and I don't know how you can go from the beautiful art direction of Hellblade to this. The character design is clearly not for my taste.
I'm also disappointed it's a multiplayer game, I wish they had made a single player game like Hellblade...

People acting like MP games aren't popular or console sellers.
No chance of that.
No chance of that.
Definitely not my sort of thing, even more striking after the absolutely incredibly experience that Hellblade was.
I hate E3 leaks! Hate them! It's unfair for the developers and publishers and it loses that hype from being introduced on stage.
Not what I was expecting next from them, specially after the more intimate, art-housy experience of hellblade. This is not my thing and I was intrigued by what they would do next, specially as an xbox exclusive. But it can succeed with the right marketing and update plan, even though I feel like I've seen those characters so many times before.
And I'm betting that this is a smaller and quicker to launch project, but that they are working on something bigger.

They are also the makers of Kung fu Chaos, Enslaved, and DmC. Which really shows is that they are not afraid to try different new things, which is basically what everyone here was saying that wanted them to do.
