When Xbox announced Hellblade II there was no game, just a trailer made for the TGAs

Just a concept ppl to make your retina melt based off vapor ware  before we start really creating the game.

It did its job, it looked spectacular. But to anyone who knew what they were seeing it was far too close to the original performance/mo-cap to be anything actually "gamey", so the finished product would never be able to offer the same level of realism and fidelity.

So much around that time was smoke & mirrors hype shit.

Yes, as other games have been but telling the choir is usukess as they believe anything time after time even being let down many, many times by studios under Microsoft.

All in-engine footage of a game that didn't exist on a console that wasn't finished.

The downgrade is obvious.

It even felt like that, some people swore it was gameplay though....

I remember when Xbox got caught saying footage and what ppl ppl were playing was all on Xbox One consoles at conventions and ppl pulled the hood away from what was housing the hardware attached to the Xbox controllers and it was high powered PCs and not consoles.

Microsoft are the epitome of charlatans.
