Heisenberg has been on a roll of ridiculous opinions and comments for a few months now on various topics, so expect no less.Spreading misinformation as usual I see, pathetic but expected.
"It’s been seven years since the last [Hellblade] game, but we’ve been working on it [Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2] for less time than that," remarked Matthews.
Full production started in 2020, its more like 4yrs. I really wish you'd at least check before posting nonsense
You're free to eat their bullshit, as always. Don't expect us to do the same though.Spreading misinformation as usual I see, pathetic but expected.

The game was announced in 2019 so it'll be at least 5 years. I know they claimed they haven't done anything beside that announcement trailer at that time, but the fact that trailer was developed and assets for it were created (as announcement trailer to this day has "In-Engine" label) implies that some of the work on the project had to be made earlier. Someone made a decision to greenlight that sequel and announcing it, someone had conversations and most likely did some preliminary work on figuring out what the game will be about, someone was figuring out what the trailer will be about and most importantly - someone was working on creating assets for that trailer. This stuff most likely took months to happen. Also, full production is usually preceded by concept phase and pre-production, which also counts to development time. You say bold words about misinformation, but you kinda spread one too by conveniently ignoring this matterSpreading misinformation as usual I see, pathetic but expected.

Not really. The cost-to-value always translates into review scores. There's a reason why people liked Helldivers 2 so much, because it doesn't cost $70. And why games like Returnal did not as well as they should (based on the quality of that game), because of its high price tag.
People were warned that this would happen.
MaybeStop spreading bs.
Or am I too stupid to get the joke?
Yeah, this game had several big red flags before the release. I find it hilarious it's yet another one this year where prior to release I listed some of these red flags and got called disingenuous for daring to voice them. I would love to be nothing but positive about games that are released, but unfortunately it is what it is and there are some releases on the horizon that doesn't look better either (I'm talking about you Vampire the Masquarade: Bloodlines 2)
If you're trying to point a finger at me, I actually had an interest in it. I played the first game and was looking forward to see what they will do in a sequel. Wasn't planning to play it at launch, but I would pick it up somewhere later this year. I mean, this is a first ever sequel from the company who made some of my favorite games. That's what makes it more upsetting to realize this game is just more of the same thing and doesn't introduce anything new and what's worse, it's even shorter. The first one was labelled as low budget AAA indie game. I could get behind the shorter length there, but come on, this time it's backed by Microsoft. It should have been deeper and more complex
He tries to say that DLC released for free is similar length to a 50$ game
I'm annoyed that I have to explain a free DLC being longer than the $50 HellBlade isn't a good look
But it averaged an “82”
So they all worked for free between 2017 and 2020? Decent of them.Spreading misinformation as usual I see, pathetic but expected.

Haven't played Helldivers 2 so won't comment on that game and IMO games like Returnal didn't do that well because it was too hard and was nothing 'that' special. Given HellBlade 2 is on Gamepass the £70 price tag sort of goes out the window too.
They also worked on a multiplayer game that no one has played
Bleeding Edge, some pre-production on HB2 I'd imagine. Certainly not 7yrs development, but who cares about the facts this is Gaf after all.
"In a recent interview with Kinda Funny Games, Matthews clarified that while the announcement trailer existed in 2019, the studio hadn't begun full development on Hellblade 2 until 2020. The studio's primary focus remained on completing Bleeding Edge, a multiplayer arena brawler it released in 2020. Only after finalizing Bleeding Edge did the team fully shift its attention to developing Hellblade 2.

And not just 1vs1, Can and ghg are taking multiple mofos at once.
When? She's in that as well?
I guess tango studio wasn't creative enough.
Actually, it seems only she is in it haha

Look the developer has given the facts, got no reason to lie. Game is out has scored very well and is the first real next-gen showcase for these consoles.Bleeding Edge was developed by a "tiny team" within Ninja Theory. It wasn't made by the entire studio.
Here is the quote directly from Ninja Theory.
An average of 15 people.
Even at Bleeding Edge's peak development period, 3/4th of the studio was working on Hellblade 2.
So, yes, it has been 7 years of production for Hellblade 2.
You should listen to yourself, this is actually a pretty good advice
He is literally stating facts from Ninja Theory, same as you. Seems like Ninja Theory have learnt the fine art of spreading white lies from Phil.
I never said Bleeding Edge was made by the entire studio. They were also working on Project Mara and The Insight Project and possibly other experimental projects. And it's perfectly compatible with what I quoted that they had some people on the project before 2020. (We also know the project was announced with 40 people, so it wasn't 75% of the studio).Bleeding Edge was developed by a "tiny team" within Ninja Theory. It wasn't made by the entire studio.

And there’s little to no actual interaction between the characters and the environment As well as a very minimal (if any) physics system at play. It’s a very impressive looking title with ridiculously good production values. I sat through a 9 hour play through (on PC) last night and enjoyed it immensely.
Bit of a stretch there, buddy.
You're basically describing Ryse: Son of Rome and The Order 1886. These were also technical showcases, but they are not remembered fondly as titles that were successful in terms of their gameplay, story and length
You haven't played it, so I'd suggest playing it first.
If it's the same as the original with less/simpler gameplay, I already know exactly what to expect.
Definitely. It’s an excellent looking game no doubt, but first true “current” gen example? Hardly. And it lacks some of stuff on top of that. Alan Wake 2’s lighting and reflections easily top its, Forbidden West’s landscapes are bigger in scope and more detailed, and some of Last of Us Part I’s character models nearly match Senua (particularly Tess). There is also much less going on than any of those games (though I live by a code of what I see, not why, but context remains key).
"the only thing that would be fair in my mind is to make this a tech demo akin to astrobot, and include it in consoles by default to showcase the power of Xbox"
