I thought it looked pretty good last night. Seemed about the same in quality as the 1st trailer. It would have been nice to see gameplay though vs cutscenes.
Senua's Saga: Hellblade II Releases on |The Game Awards 2023
- Thread starter John Elden Ring
- Start date
Come on fish. Starfield"s interiors do look stellar.
You guys hyped The Order like no tomorrow. Hellblade 2 is no different. Game looks completely badass.
Anything to keep Sony winning right?Looks very good, but let's see how much of those are bullshots vs actual gameplay. Forza Motorsport was also running on Xbox Series X and then was downgraded to hell and back, to the point where it looks worse than Forza Motorsport 7 in certain scenarios.
Edit: After watching in full-screen
Additional:
- 00:21 - Ground textures don't look any better than those on Death Stranding Directors Cut on the PS5 (nevermind PC maxed out)
- 00:27 - Foliage density has nothing on Plague Requiem or HFW. It's passable. Also, loads of artifacts in the foliage, I didn't pixel count, but there's no way this is 4k, at least without VRS and/or Upscaling
- 00:35 - Draw distance is great
- 00:47 - Lighting looks great here
- 01:01 - Gameplay moment. This looks good, but honestly, not amazing. Go check the WLF invasion of the Scars island in TLOU PT2, where illumination and effects kinda have the same aesthetic, and you'll see that this doesn't look impressive.
- 01:08 - Those water effects look like ass
- 01:11 - Lighting looks great here.
- 01:12 - Fire looks fantastic, probably some of the best I've seen in a game.
- Then there's more of the same.
Another edit: Forgot to say that if this game is not open-world, it becomes even less impressive.
- Alpha effects look ok.
- The video is somehow low quality, and it doesn't seem like a Youtube compression issue. I watched this in 4k. It's like there's some smudging on top of everything.
- There's some weird subsurface scattering going on in the character's face. It doesn't look fantastic compared to many other games.
- Texture work varies between ok and very good, however what we've seen is mostly under dark conditions. I wonder if the game is mostly set on a "night" setting, or if it's just to hide weird textures.
- Overall, I don't see this as the best looking game. It has moments of brilliance, and I'd argue it has the best fire effects in any game, but as a whole, no chance. There's plenty of games that do most of this better.
As usual the xbox shills are mega impressed by slow walking in a dark forest and big closeups of psycho girl on meds.
Put a Sony logo without changing anything and you'd be shitting on it. Your shtick is getting old.
I don't know why you're bringing a 2015 game in the discussion lol
They showed so many trailers and teasers for the past 4 years that it feels like I've already played the game lol
Slow walking forward ✓
Extreme close-ups of faces ✓
Hellblade 1 combat ✓
Schizo voices ✓
Still no release date, just a vague 2024, so it's not even first quarter. The devs must be having a blast milking MS lol
How old is this forum? Was it even around when the order 1886 came out? lol
Yeap... it was very bad demo.
Thankfully I paid like $8... even so it was too much.
I've beaten it. It's short, but it had potential imo. Sony probably shouldn't have cut ties with them over that game.
The Order 1886 will be a decade old in 2 years and still looks better than a majority of games released since then. Shows just how far games have fallen with actually caring about graphics. Sony used to care but their usual powerhouses in Sucker Punch, insomniac and Santa Monica have all released games that look worse or on par with their previous games which is disappointing.
It's gotten to the point where I've played more indie ue5 games that look better than most AAA games being released.

They had to make a game first... instead did a demo.
Sure it had potential.
But I'm not sure how you call a game if you have a single boss for the whole game, the story ends when it starts, and the set pieces were all over the place.
It you said it was still in development I should had agreed without thinking twice.
It looked noticeably softer, and then I saw the "captured from series"
It all makes sense.
Now imagine how it'll look on the series s lol and that's 75% of that playerbase
Only 62k views vs 430k for Rise of Ronin and Ronin was uploaded later.
Hellblade is a flop. It's not even worth debating. Let them have their psycho methead hallucinating on crack walking sim.

It was late and over budget, and the studio was a total shitshow behind the scenes.
Sony absolutely did the right thing by cutting ties.
I think you mean yourself and your compadres. You simply have to talk shit about MS whenever it is mentioned. I've never in my life seen so much hate of a company that you literally have to declare Sony a winner even when its not even being compared.
Because it's an example of hypocrisy?
I don't know why you're bringing a 2015 game in the discussion lol
Is that all you can come up with to downplay the game? When it's released? LOL!
