Not an Xbox exclusive.. I will be trying it on my PC equipped with gamepass

You know exactly what I meant...

 

[Bartski]

one of my most anticipated games of 2024 tbh

The last game I can remember that had this type of hype leading up to its release was Red Dead Redemption 2.

What's Hellblade II?

Yeah,

This.

edit - dammit

 

[PropellerEar]

I feel something massive from me.

 

[semiconscious]

I haven't really been a ninja guy, but I am a psychotic guy, so this game is for me...

so yet another stealth arkham asylum sequel thread?...

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Any day now....

 

[Shin-Ra]

I look forward to both this game's release on Playstation... and the introduction of the requirement to sign up to a PSN account to play it on PC, alongside having to have an Xbox account.

MAUs for everyone!!!!

Special activation from Iceland. Does that mean they got Björk to do something

Thanks for helping me release it

It's being spammed to fuckery on Reddit.

 

[MH3M3D]

Really? A crazy chick who talks gibberish to herself the whole time + boring combat. That was pretty much the first game. Not expecting anything more than a graphics upgrade.

 

[Trogdor1123]

I too, have heard of this hellblade.

 

[Stamps1646]

What hype? I wish I was joking.

I'm eager to pick it up this month, but the marketing for this game has been quite weak.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Don't care about Reddit and what's going in there. I don't even have an account there.

But I do care about Ninja Theory and their games. They've made a huge mistake going to MS to help them fund their games, while instead they could've launched Kickstarter and I'm sure not only people who care would've supported them, but a few game dev studios as well, like Larian for example.

 

[Eiknarf]

Is this game definitely coming to PS5 in 2024 or 2025? I forgot what year.

 

[Orbital2060]

From the trailer, I like this panorama shot. I wonder how much on-foot travel there is going to be. I guess its strictly linear and not much wide exploration. But some adventuring around would be nice, and stuff to find.

 

[FingerBang]

Embargo lifting on release date too. That screams confidence!

With an adapter, you can use the same controller for GoW: Ragnarok too

 

[Lorianus]

7 Years in development, if it has the same game lenght of the first one its a year per hour of entertainment, they should start to update their CV's.

 

[MALpractice311]

OP, what are you smoking and who is your supplier? There's no hype for HB2. If anything, there's negative hype, due to a whole lot of people who apparently never played the first one thinking this was going to be some sort of AAA, 50 hour, open world, God of War-like epic, rather than being a slightly longer and prettier sequel to an indie that's one half action game and one half walking sim.

 

[Crayon]

They rode hype on this for 4 years and trying to manage expectations now. Let's see if it works.

 

[SJRB]

Cringe.

 

[Mercador]

I thought I have read Hades 2 for a second. I've played a bit of the first game but they hyped the second so much, I'm not that confident.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

people are more excited about seeing whether it'll flop than about playing it

 

[Little Chicken]

God of War... the orbitoclast they use for the lobotomy.

 

[LordCBH]

I played the first one. That game is balls deep in "gameplay is getting in the way of My Experience" territory. One of those games so Cinematic, gameplay becomes a hassle for their pretentious auteur aspirations. But hey, mental health struggles are like, so hot right now.

Hellblade is what I picture every time someone complains about PlayStation titles. Stuff like last of us and god of war had actual gameplay. Hellblade just…doesn't.

 

[Little Chicken]

Not sure, people weren't amused when Stellar Blade didn't set reviews alight, why would they be for Hellblade 2?

 

[TheInfamousKira]

This is the one with the lesbian having an epileptic seizure in front of the camera for what feels like a longer amount of time than the full retail game is purported to be?

That's The Last of Us 2.

? I don't know what this is supposed to mean

 

[Orutisu Furio]

There's no hype for this game, at all.

The first game was nice looking, but it was a bizarre mental illness walking simulator. There's no substance to the game other than impressive visuals.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

That's The Last of Us 2.

Easy climate to get confused in, fam!

 

[Edgelord79]

I think it'll be a good game just like the first. I have no reason to think otherwise.

I don't hear anyone talking about it though.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

Yeah, I'm just not hyped by this at all. Didn;t see the appeal in the first one and definitely don't see the appeal of this one. Hopefully it reviews well and I try it and am proven wrong ...

 

[damidu]

what are you guys gonna name your blades? oh let me start a thread

just playing through my $3 keyshop copy of Hellblade 1 for the first time in anticipation of playing Hellblade 2 on $1 trial upon release. Thanks Microsoft! Greatest deal in gaming.

PS. Get Fucked MS.

You need to stop posting, Adam.
There's only one Blade and it's Stellar.

MS marketing in the nutshell. Lazy and greedy fucks

Embargo lifting on release date too. That screams confidence!

Confidence means nothing here really, the game will no doubt be successful among game journasaurs and alike and I'm sure MS knows this, it's just they don't give a fuck. Last I checked, they haven't even started sending review codes.

 

[JackMcGunns]

Spoiler...

She's crazy. Again.

Oh hell nah, that's crazy!

 

[Pelta88]

It's a given that HB2 won't recoup. But it's 8 months from now that'll be the most interesting.

Will MS close the studio or allow them to go independent? Given NT's history and the ip/platform they've worked on, MS's decision on their future will be telling.

 

[Kurotri]

You joke but given the times we are living in right now I wouldn't be surprised if she turned out to be one all of a sudden when there wasn't anything suggesting that in the original.

Yeah, you can never be too sure you're taking the piss or giving them their next idea.

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I can't tell if this thread is sarcasm or not.

 

[adamsapple]

Even you should be able to play it with that controller.
