2025 Fall at the earliest
2025 Fall at the earliest
I played Bastion close to its release and loved it. Pyre is amazing. And Hades is in my all time top 10. For some reason, I've skipped over Transistor, even though I know I will like it... it time to jump in! The bits of the preview I saw of Hades II are amazing. The voicework, sprite art, and music of SG is such a massive advantage over what other companies do.
Agree with all of this, the portraits I've seen have a pretty generic feeling to them compared to the dynamic poses of the original which were full of personality.Bit of an outlier so far in that I actually think most of these portraits are a bit of a downgrade. The character designs and the art quality itself are still top shelf, but Hades 1 felt like it had very expressive and varied posing and angles for all their characters that really informed a lot about their personalities. Here most of them I've seen so far are just basically standing in the same 3/4 angle with fairly basic posture which feels rather samey. These three characters all have the exact same pose.
Might sound kinda nitpicky but I think Hades 1 was exceptional in making portraits feel more expressive and bespoke between just about all the characters where I'm seeing a bit less of that so far. Comparing the Artemis portraits between both games for example, the new one looks kinda boring compared to the original. I hope that's something they improve for the full release.
i havent played yet Hades 1, i want to play it on xbox or in playstation, anybody here 100% completed the game? i like to get the 100% achievements or platinum of the games, is pretty difficult?

Being entirely fair, that's exactly how Poseidon already is in Hades.Not feeling the new portraits. Poseidon looks like your neighbor who stopped mowing the lawn to come over and chat
Not feeling the new portraits. Poseidon looks like your neighbor who stopped mowing the lawn to come over and chat, and Aphrodite looks more domineering than flirtatious. They're more downgrades than upgrades for me, but I do like Demeter a lot.
Same here. I mean, they're okay. But the ones in the first game were fantastic. So expressive and gorgeous. The new ones are rather dull, by comparison.
The game's still an insta-buy, but I'm disappointed.

I see that as an absolute win, ngl.
To each their own, but from the looks of the game from the stream it's a darker vibe that they're going for. Melinoe's family is missing, she's a witch, the stakes are higher, etc. I think the less expressive portraits of some of the characters are fitting. Demeter looks better in 2 than she did in 1.
Also, some of the gods like Aphrodite and Poseidon got big upgrades with their portraits IMO. Both of which are equally as expressive as their portraits in the first game.

Technical test is expected to last longer than a week, shorter than a month. Early Access should launch right after that. I don't know how long they expect to stay in Early Access or if they said.Is there a summary of what was covered in the livestream? Any mention of timelines etc?
To be fair they're in a war now.Not feeling the new portraits. Poseidon looks like your neighbor who stopped mowing the lawn to come over and chat, and Aphrodite looks more domineering than flirtatious. They're more downgrades than upgrades for me, but I do like Demeter a lot.
Everyone but us gets in to fuck with us.Is getting selected for these pure luck of the draw or does it look at playtime or something like that? I have all achievements twice over, witness me Supergiant
Massive spoilers below, so don't click if you don't want to see it, but someone datamined the technical test and found a lot of not announced characters, I'm presuming a lot of these are on the EA launch:
Some really cool ones, that Eris one is sick, also a couple that look WIP (like Icarus), still great designs.

For some people, that's a plus. :p
Geeze, 3am me was on some shit last night.I just need a ticket sometime today. I'm praying for a ticket. I've prayed for this day. I bought a Steam Deck JUST for this. I don't even like that thing, but it's gonna become my favorite system of all time when it lets me play Hades II. I need this. I just worked ahead 6 hours tonight so I can slack at work tomorrow and play this on the side. No one wants this more than me, I can guarantee that.
I will try not to purchase this before v1.0.
And I say try because I probably won't succeed.
The post got deleted but you can still find them on Twitter or other places if you search. Gotta say, love them all. Probably more than most of the designs we have seen so far officially.Massive spoilers below, so don't click if you don't want to see it, but someone datamined the technical test and found a lot of not announced characters, I'm presuming a lot of these are on the EA launch:

Hestia (placeholder art for now) and Hephaestus are already in, Hera is still MIA.Do we know if Hestia, Hera and Hephaestus will be in the game? Would love to see all the Olympians finally.
For anyone in the technical test, what are the accessibility options? Did they keep God Mode as a toggle after they added it to the first game?
