Opening with a loading screen he?

Seriously what a disappointment

 

[Comandr]

Jesus that trailer was exhausting.

 

[Nemesis Prime]

Man this looks like a crazy psychological experience, but when the fuck are they gonna show us some raw gameplay

 

[Bernoulli]

That showed no gameplay told you to not believe greenberg

 

[ryzen1]

Looks insane.
But last time they showed us how she fights an insane boss. Now we get a boring walking scene.
They really want us to see the facial animations they've been working on for years huh?

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

Cringe

 

[Luipadre]

That was another nothing trailer. Cant get excited for this

 

[bbeach123]

4 minute of absolutely nothing .

 

[Duchess]

That showed no gameplay told you to not believe greenberg

Oh, I read between the lines with that tweet and figured they were allowed to show in-engine trailers, because they aren't pre-rendered.

 

[01011001]

the death of gamedesign ladies and gentlemen.

 

[T_T]

They are really giving Sony a run for their money for disappointment.

 

[salva]

Just like the first one....

 

[ryzen1]

Didn't play the first one. But these voices are super annoying. Is this normal hellblade stuff?

 

[Thief1987]

Decent ASMR. Where is the "game" part?

 

[N0S]

2024. How much longer does this pretentious game need?!

 

[TGO]

Perfect game for modern audiences

 

[SALMORE]

what do you expect from a glorified walking simulator

 

[MDSLKTR]

The cave looked really nice at least

 

[Lupin25]

Visuals are amazing, but they didn’t show much.. 15 secs of seamless gameplay mixed with real-time cutscenes

 

[SmokedMeat]

This is like the fourth movie trailer I’ve seen now out of five trailers.

I guess this is what the modern AAA crowd wants.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

You Guys don't understand. This is THE gameplay. This is the whole game. You fucking walking and listening to your character talking to herself.

 

[TGO]

All I saw was chromatic aberration and some wonky facial animation.

 

[dem]

What a piece of crap. Why even waste time.

Is this a game or not?

 

[CGNoire]

I don't know what I'm supposed to garner from this.

The character was completely drenched in Depth of Field preventing anyone from judging the overall fidelity outside of the animation.

The cave looked pretty good but its also a small ass environment so I cant really compare it to a regular game.

There was zero gameplay again and it was so damm abstract.....what the fuck where the thinking?

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Zzzzzzzzzz....... Just like HB1. Unskippable cut scene mania half the time with Senua talking to herself.

That's the "game".

 

[vpance]

I think they watched one too many of those weird ASMR vids on youtube.

 

[Sweden85]

I loved the first one, and as I said in the other thread it doesn't look the as good. I'm hoping for the best.

 

[adamsapple]

Wish they had shown more game play, but that was an unstintingly good trailer in terms of showing off the motion and facial capture.

 

[kyussman]

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be one of those crazy blue haired freaks on tiktok......play Hellblade 2 and find out.(They can use that on the box if they like).

 

[Melfice7]

That showed no gameplay told you to not believe greenberg

incorrect, the player was pressing forward during the initial loading

 

[staticshock]

So disappointed. 5 mins of straight blur. And the animations are so terrible. Rise of the tomb raider (A 2015 game) had better crawling from rocks animations. Its pathetic. The blur and animations took me completely out of it. Whats the point in graphics if you covered with blur and janky animations?

This gen is over.

 

[sankt-Antonio]

Blurry mess, great facial tech they got going. But damn is it overusing post processing. I mean, not even linear corridor criticism applies - it was a single room.

Alan Wake 2 looks more impressive.

 

[semiconscious]

trailer: 'you may never play a game more in love with itself, or further up its own arse, than hellblade 2!'...

 

[staticshock]

Whats the point of good graphics if you just cover it with blur? Its almost retarded..

 

[existensmaximum]

Well if nothing else, that was some of the most impressive graphics I have ever seen in a game.

 

[X-Wing]

I didn't see anything that spectacular graphics wise? Except during the crawling part, but even then...

 

[Stitch]

Didn't play the first one. But these voices are super annoying. Is this normal hellblade stuff?

yes. it's a walking simulator with a bunch of puzzles and some fights. most of the time you wander around and listen to her insane ramblings.

 

[RaduN]

The very definition of cringe right here.

Who the fuck thought this trailer is a good idea, should be fired on the spot.

 

[NeonGhost]

Wish they had shown more game play, but that was an unstintingly good trailer in terms of showing off the motion and facial capture.

We’ve already seen that years ago now is when we needed to see gameplay

 

[Carmen Winstead]

Combat in this game will be shallower than the stealth mechanics in the new Gollum game.

 

[staticshock]

Wish they had shown more game play, but that was an unstintingly good trailer in terms of showing off the motion and facial capture.

Lol dude, hide your Xbox badge for one second.
We have already seen multiple demos of their facial capture.
Heck we saw it again at GDC just two months ago.
You're coping hard and there's no need to.
This was not a good trailer no matter how much anyone wants to spin it.

Constructive criticism is what makes games better. Avoiding it is just sending games out to die.
With the way things are looking, this game is gonna bomb review wise and sales wise.
Hellblade 2 was my most anticipated game of this entire gen. But I'm not gonna bite my tongue and cope when things start looking rough...

Yeah it is, its a big part of the game

 

[simpatico]

Maybe I'll give the original another spin. Didn't hook me at all the first time around. Sure looks good, just plays like a third person walking simulator without the charm.

 

[Negotiator101]

Would have like to see some combat but as expected its the best looking game yet.

 

[balls of snow]

Should have switched that boss battle demo with this. Would pop more, but Ninja Theory like Remedy doesnt miss within their wheelhouse.

 

[01011001]

after the second "gameplay" without any meaningful game mechanics I expect this game to be utter shit tbh.

 

[Zuzu]

Looks like the game might be running at a lower rez like 1080p with image reconstruction because it was bit noisy.

 

[3liteDragon]

A literal walking sim lol, this is what a walking sim looks like.
