Half of the trailer was gameplay.

Bro, when the first game came out on PS4 and only PS4, everyone was gushing over how great it looked and how well it played.
Also would like to know how you are getting that that is the only type of combat form 1 minute of gameplay.
Personally, I thought the 1st game was a little boring and frustrating. Mostly frustrating and Mostly because I sucked at it.

Yea it's more about atmosphere like the first game, I just want less repetitive gameplay this time around. Maybe it'll be similar combat but just less often..Kinda how AW2 is compared to AW1

Visually it looks really really impressive. I guess there will be the Developer Direct with a deep dive sooner or later.

I am honestly baffled that people think this shows any promise beyond a graphics showcase. And that so many people are still wooed by graphics above all in this day and age, for that matter.

Well said. Its a slow plodding game with gameplay not really requiring that much skill. Its all about the overall atmosphere and the main character's psychosis. Much better than another dark souls clone at least to me.

I've enjoyed the first Hellblade so I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully they'll confirm a physical release soon since I'd like the game on my shelf next to my Hellblade copy.

Hate to echo the majority, the gamne visually looks amazing; top tier, but the action looks like it is under 30fps.

My GF started it on her own and didn't really like it until I told her to wear headphones as it's so much more immersive and important to connect with Senua's demons. So when she did she really got engrossed and actually finished it which is a fucking feat for her let me tell you.

There is nothing resembling virtue signalling in Hellblade. NOTHING, ZERO, ZILCH, NADA. "It's clear".. Wtf with the idiotic nonsensical assumptions.

Just watched it again.
Mindblowing visuals.
Absolutely, incredible visually. Can't talk on anything else but at least it will be a visual feast and delivers on the original trailers!
Looks like genuine CG graphics.

Not my jam but that looks absolutely amazing. Never seen better, to be honest.

More cinematics. Feels like all I've seen of this for years now.

I am fairly sure that I told her to go with headphones so she did it. I think her main issue was in how repetitive the combat was, she finished GOW and GOW:R, so I know she's not against action games.
I hope that they take the opportunity to improve the combat in this one. It really has potential to be a "Sony style game" for MS.

The game took so long to come out that it now looks like what you would expect.

Best looking for art-direction, true. But Hellblade was pretty rough around the edges.It was clearly developed by a small team.
But Ninja Theory games have always been rough around the edges with great art-direction.
I can imagine them having to work their asses off to polish Hellblade 2.
Agreed, although I think Hellblade had easily one of the most realistic combat in gaming.
It was serviceable for a low budget indie game, and the focus back then was not on the combat but rather everything else about the game that felt very unique (setting, themes etc.).
It might have been simplistic, but it was raw and personal. It just needs more fluidity.
True, but I think it was deliberate as the game was intended to make the player experience mental disorders and complicated puzzles might be detrimental to the experience.
Same might be the case with this game, but you never know.

Please Ninja Theory, be more creative with the puzzles in this one, I ended up hating the ones in the first game
This is a sequel to a well received game that was nothing like Ryse.
Some of these comments…
What is 'virtue signaling' about either the first game or this one?
DenchDeckard

Yeah, seems like an easy pass on this one then.
It will be more of the same and I imagine low to mid 80s review score. Which will be inline with the first.

Don't fall for this, bro.
Game looks identical to the first in tone and content.....so, yeah...just don't bother. lol
Hopefully, it does build on the first and surprises us in places but this looks very familiar but with the graphics turned up to 20.

Lol ayo NeolkaruGAF like 98% of the posters on this board are absolutely retarded. I miss the 90's web from back in the day.

'Mental health' is one of things pushed by 'progressivism' where everyone has some mental health condition or other, everyone is encouraged to be miserable or wallow in whatever condition they have this week. Look at how brave she is, dealing with all her multitude of issues! No thanks.
The first one was well received, this has a much bigger budget and they've long since said they've put a lot more focus into combat and feedback on the gameplay this cycle.
We'll see, but 'Ryse' or 'virtue signaling' claims are weird

Yet you still post here so what does that make you?
Yes everything is that black and white..."the game is based around Senua's deteriorating mental health it must be woke!"
You're coming across as a dolt bro

Visuals look amazing, better than HFW (though not by a huge margin despite not being cross gen).
I think Ninja Theory is ass at gameplay and I don't care for the mental illness main character of Senua.

And yet the vaaaaaaaast majority of games out there don't dwell on that theme, and the first Hellblade was released in 2017 well before any 'woke' pandemic.
You're grasping at straws here. Perfectly fine for you to give it a pass if the themes don't appeal to you without shitting on the work

What is pretentious about it?
I'm asking because very often people use this word in regard to films, books and games without actually knowing what the word means.

I didn't use the word woke at all. You're coming across as someone like the other guy who can't bear dissenting opinions so has to get rude.

They just announced it too early. It's like if GTAVI was announced when it was 1/3 of the way done, the wait would be even worse. I guess if you want top of the line graphics, this is just the reality of game development. Devs that release game after game are releasing carbon copies of each other when it comes to visuals.

You didn't need to use the word I can read what you're saying. I'm sorry for calling you a dolt but I find your viewpoint pretty baffling. Mental health is not just a progressive thing at all it's a real issue some still just don't want to talk about. Look at school shootings all over the US and the male suicide rate is crazy high. Hellblade doesn't push anything at all, but it tries to convey to the player what's it's like dealing with severe mental anguish and does a very good job in my humble opinion.
