Hype is growing.
Insomnia forums around the world have been waiting for a cure for centuries.
Studies show after 5 minutes of Senua's unskippable droning on, people fall asleep at a 100% success rate.

I'm making fun of this game, but that's only because I think it's dumb for the FIRST GAME to be on XBOX and PLAYSTATION while this sequel is only on XBOX. Kinda stupid.I personally cant wait to play it. I love these cinematic games and this one looks crazy good with amazing sound too. Loved the first one, probably gonna love this one too
I liked the first. I'd give it a 7.5 out of ten. Dug the premise and idea. Puzzles were fun for a little bit, but got "too much" after a while.
So now, I tease the hell out of the release, the last minute review embargo, the no-PS5...etc

Yes super hyped. I have been waiting for this since that game awards reveal and it looks every bit like it's gonna exceed my own expectations. Rarely does a game have this level of focus. It's drenched with atmosphere. The visual illusions really do something for me. I know people hate MS but if this was on PS5 it would be the next thing to latch on to.

I’m gonna get high as fuck and play this late at night. It’s going to be a visual feast

Is there a reason there’s zero actual marketing for this game? It’s potentially the best looking game ever and they’re just not even trying to sell it

I think it became a meme from a user called IncoldBlood
The hype around Starfield is massive, and growing.
The last game I can remember that had this type of hype leading up to its release was Red Dead Redemption 2. It's trending on twitter every day. Forums and social media are all about Starfield, and MS hasn't advertised jack shit for it. I haven't really been a Bethesda guy, but I am a space...

What did Hellblade 1 sell?
No one gives a shit about this sequel. It’s a vehicle for some cringey mocap drama narrative “experience” that died in the 90s.
MS is watching, and Ninja Theory is over.

So it 100% made a significant lost including platform fees and marketing.
The game went on to sell atleast 1 million units.

Are you slow?
They broke even at 500,000 units.......they sold over a million.
They marketed on Youtube and Twitter, the lead actress was actually their video editor......she literally cut the trailers herself.

No need to denigrate the first game. If it's not your cup of tea, fine. But it did well enough. It was not a flop, not a failure. It got reasonably good critical reception and acceptable sales, especially for a AA niche title. People are getting too polarized about this, like they're rooting for it to be an absolute disaster.
Personally, I hope it's a good game. I am on PS5 and expect a port eventually. Better a good game than a bad one... I'm not expecting anything extraordinary - around 81 metacritic like the first, with mixed reception as you'd expect. But I enjoyed the first and have taken a liking to short, linear games lately. I'm hoping it turns out reasonably well, and that it gets a port to PS5. I won't buy it for $50, but I would consider it when it gets to around $20.

It looks very soft/low res, maybe partly caused by too much processing? The first shot is my favourite though. The detail on Senua looks good and the atmosphere of the settlement looks great too.

Looks like the first UE5 based game that's come closest to the initial tech demos.
They're using very heavy post processing for the presentation, the base game is ~1440p up-scaled to 2160p using UE5's temporal super resolution up-scaling.

The one million sales figure doesn’t include GamePass. They hit that metric in June 2018. It hit GP end 2018.

Most likely a compression issue with the shots (if you're talking about the ones I posted). The game should look notably crisper than that!
Regardless, I actually wish this was 100% exclusive to the Series X (at least at launch). Would have been the perfect game to truly show what the console could do with no restrictions, but I get that the Series S and weaker PCs had to be considered.

One MS studio (bethesda) has completely blacklisted skill up, the other has a 2 hour developer talk with them. Weird.

I think they're so big they have multiple publishing / marketing approaches. I was with you in counting Bethesda as a separate thing.

The fact this game will be a few hours long yet is titled Senua's Saga induces a sensible nerd chuckle every time.

... oh boy these interviews are

The story better deliver a "meaningful", fulfilling arc, because it seems that is the only thing this "game" has going for it, otherwise I smell a 6/10 on MC.

I don't know a single person in real life that even knows this game is coming out, let alone being hyped for it.

I'll be there for the graphics. If it ends up being a good game that's a bonus on my book.

What time is it?
Microsoft seems pretty hands off with letting their acquisitions run themselves.
