guy himself is a gooner.

I had to look that one up.

"A "gooner" can be someone who engages in extended masturbation sessions, often to an intense or trance-like state. "

Doesn't everybody?

This will not be good without Sony xdev help. Its exclusivity or at least time exclusive with PS help the game to have excellent quality technically. Without Sony exdev as much as I love Stellar blade, multiplatform will turn into just another generic soul game that floods the market especially from China.

Now you console warriors just be saying any bullshit.

I hope sexuality is left out of it this time. It's a 7/10 game that was heavily influenced by generic butt number 10864929.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

How about a male protagonist?

 

[Saber]

As long they can make more bangers, I don't mind at all.
More people playing Stellar Blade is aways a nice and what the gaming industry needs.

 

[Generic]

Basic bitch game
Mid tier at best
Never understood the weeb push for this one.
Play persona instead

I think it's a mix of sexy female protagonist, high fidelity graphics and focus on narrative. Sexy action games always existed but nobody cared about them because they were too videogamey and low-budget (see: Senran Kagura, Oneechanbara)

Bad choice of engine for this gen, UE5.

There are so many mediocre aspects to this game, such as the story and puzzles, that deserve more attention than they received. How about a male protagonist?

For me it was the empty open world, repetitive sidequests and ridiculous amount of backtracking (a fast travel system would do wonders...)

We getting a Stellar Blade 2 before NieR 3 or Drakengard 4.

The Cortana skin on Xbox is gonna be straight fire.

I just felt a disturbance in the force. Like a ton of fanboys cried together at once, and then stopped.

Have the Flood return for Halo 7 and give a Flood Hybrid skin to Eve too.

Flood Queen Eve.

I'd just give Senran Kagura to ShiftUp. As far as I am concerned to this day SK2: Deep Crimson was the best SK game.

Would like them to improve upon those too. One desert part would have been enough but we ended up with two.

I guess it was the budget and first IP. Since the budget was low they wanted to make it seem like the game was bigger than it was by adding two big open areas. Hope the increased budget for the next one would see improvements to them.

Eve should be more badass in the next one or just have Raven that crazy bitch take over

Shift Up can't nail the aesthetic like Marvelous. Let it remain with the devs who created the IP.

I think it's over for SK Marvelous ever since the original dev left. Senran Kagura 7even has the same chance of happening as Megaman Legends 3 I'm sad to say.

Pretty sad.

For some reason I thought this was the OP, then realized it was the 2nd post.

Anyway, expected at this point. Shift Up were signaling about as much for a while now. The explosive sales on PC probably cemented the decision, and I imagine a Switch 2 version of the first game is in active development as we speak.

SIE finally wised up and recognize Nintendo as a competitor in Japan, wonder when they'll wise up and consider PC a competitor to PlayStation globally. Because whether they want to admit it or not....it kinda is.

Especially since SIE have no vested interests (PC OS with large market share, an established storefront/launcher, dominant game engine, SDK/API suite etc.) in the PC space. Acting as a dependent party on PC while trying to function as an independent platform holder on console will never work out long term.

The linked job posting only said "multiplatform game". The first game is already multiplatform.

Aiming for release on various platforms, including consoles and PC,

Bring back Bayonetta. Stellar Blade was so mid.

there were 8 years between Bayo 2 and 3,
it's only been 3 years since 3. give it time

Why would they consider PC a competitor when pc is not a console. If anything they will try and double down and see how they can make money through their own launcher. Some of you just don't get it. Sonys budgets for first party games are way higher than Nintendo. I don't see them stopping when they have said pc ports print money for them. The Shareholders have spoken. You guys don't seem to realize that the more software they sell the more games they can create.

this. the game's a generous heaping helping of 'old-school dumb fun adventure game', & gaming could benefit from more of same...
