Your first look at gameplay from Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, captured by the development team in-game.
Coming exclusively to Xbox and Windows PC.

 

[NewChoppa]

Had to remind myself it wasn't a cinematic a few times watching this. Looks incredible!

 

[Godot25]

Fucking hell

Bring it on!

 

[AnotherOne]

Incredible.

 

[TheRedRiders]

Beautiful.

 

[Beechos]

God damn bring on the real next gen games. This is the shit i expected to see during e3's and console launch trailers for ps5 and series x

 

[fran.fernandez]

What that fuck…. Ok I buy a Xbox

 

[Ezekiel_]

"gameplay"

 

[Vasto]

I kept asking my self is this actual gameplay? Mind blown!

 

[abacab driver]

Attention: Colin Moriarty.

This is why.

This is why Microsoft bought Ninja Theory.

Un fucking believable.

 

[Rob_27]

Looks quite juicy

 

[Markio128]

I kept asking myself, where was the gameplay? Haha.

 

[Die Namek Ability]

Graphics looked great but the animations were subpar and immersion breaking imo. A game is not defined solely by graphics. I thought it was a bit lame that the game play was essentially just walking into the cave then out, really uninspired.

 

[HermitSperg691]

Says gameplay in the video title. There isn't any gameplay.

 

[Halo is Back]

Visually, it looks amazing but what the hell was the gameplay? All she did was run forward and then backward. As a big fan of the first game, that was kinda underwhelming.

 

[Xion4360]

Its clearly one of those cinematic moments but it still counts as gameplay

The animation is why I think it's gameplay, because those transitions wasn't actually great and it reminds me the first game. Graphic got a jump, but still eyes and mouth looked off...

 

[TheRedRiders]

EDIT : nvm already shared by OP

 

[Greggy]

Tameem hit hard. Ninja Theory is advancing the medium. Keep hating, haters.

 

[GhostOfTsu]

I didn't see any actual gameplay? They should call that "in-engine cutscene" or something. I thought you guys hated those "cinematic games" anyway? Made fun of them for years.

 

[dorkimoe]

Discovered this game on gamepass, absolutely LOVED it. Really cant wait for this

 

[Deerock71]

GAME FUCKING PAAAAASSSSSS!!!

 

[FlyyGOD]

The salt is strong in here I see.

[Rykan]

It seems like the casuals are super excited to play this new "Cinematic" "movie like" experience. Who knows, maybe you might have to press a button every once in a a while.
Another cinematic borefest made by people who clearly joined the wrong industry. Next.

That is gameplay at 2:00

Thats literally not this game at all. Go play it, its not a cinematic movie game, it has great combat they just dont show it for some reason

 

[SenjutsuSage]

 

[Thief1987]

Was there even second if interactivity in this "gameplay" demo?

 

[TGO]

Looks good, not like the original trailer but still good

Sorry, I go by what the developers show off. Not what was shown in a previous game.

 

[Zuzu]

Incredible graphics though I found her face looked a little bit like plastic. The gameplay looked similar to first one which is disappointing. I didn't enjoy the gameplay of the first, though the world and story were very good.

 

[Dr Bass]

Game looks to be similar to God of War.

 

[RoboFu]

Looks good, not like the original trailer but still good

It's the same or better.. just different light source and more stuff in the new vid.

 

[benzy]

 

[Beechos]

Obviously this gameplay is one of those scripted events, this scene will prob involved qte until it finally goes outside in the open for the boss fight. Give me 30fps all day if games will look like this.

 

[Orbital2060]

It looked like there was some kind of control/input going on behind the scenes, maybe they just hid the UI for the demo.

 

[Anime-Vix]

Visually, it looks amazing but what the hell was the gameplay? All she did was run forward and then backward. As a big fan of the first game, that was kinda underwhelming.

This is probably the opening of the game. I wouldn't judge too much off this trailer.

 

[Deerock71]

More than the entirety of MGS 2.

 

[TheDreadLord]

Easily the best graphics presented on a console.

 

[oldergamer]

First true next gen looking game. Although it did give an attack on titan vibe

 

[Tripolygon]

Looks good but not as good as the CG they showed before.

 

[anthony2690]

If they can improve the combat and the puzzle design, what really let the first game down, then this can honestly be something special.

But my issues with the first game, really let the game down for me.

 

[Wishmaster92]

Looks good, not like the original trailer but still good

I would say not even in the same realm...the reveal model of Senua had peach fuzz. Of course the bounce lighting on her face is also much better in the reveal.

 

[Die Namek Ability]

Why is everything so black? Is this a story detail like from Death stranding?

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

weird gameplays segment to show

 

[Beechos]

That was the atmosphere/art direction in the 1st game also

 

[Vasto]

First true next gen looking game. Although it did give an attack on titan vibe

I also got that Attack On Titan feel from this.

 

[AddictedProxy]

Looks heavily downgraded. Guess its another Halo scenario where the prerendered reveal is miles ahead of the actual gameplay.
Quite disappointing to say the least.
