I always appreciated the sound design and ofc the OST in Hellblade so it's awesome that they're taking that even further with the sequel.

 

[FunkMiller]

This whole section is one giant fart sniff. Shut the fuck up and show some gameplay.

 

[Hibs]

Avowed didn't do it for me.
Hellblade looks beautiful but where is the sustenance?

Eat some edibles before playing

 

[gothmog]

I still don't get the hype around Hellblade 2. Hopefully it's a good game.

 

[The Cockatrice]

100 years of development for another walking sim. Lmao. Kay.

 

[adamsapple]

May 21st, confirmed.

 

[Warablo]

Microsoft is gonna need to be more hands on if they want a blockbuster.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

red flags

 

[Carmen Winstead]

verrry immersive, verrry unique experience.

 

[Md Ray]

Looks the same as the first.

looks fucking GREAT

Lol!

 

[danklord]

This looks horrid, a game literally made so they can win meaningless awards and put the art on their box and in trailers.

 

[Shits_McGiggles]

The Hellblade devs need to get their heads out of the asses. This is obnoxious. WHAT HAPPENED TO A GAME BEING FUN?!

 

[Bartski]

MAY 21st

 

[Larivel]

Game was revealed like 5 years ago, comes out this year and we still havent seen at least 1 minute of interrupted gameplay...

 

[saintjules]

May 21st. Let's go!

 

[II_JumPeR_I]

21:9 aka people with normal widescreen tvs have Black bars and year the CA effects uff

 

[Ozriel]

Spencer sucks really hard with marketing games.
Hellblade 2 looks really really good, but at least show more of the game. Way too much talking and too little showing.

 

[Jigsaah]

i don't understand why they are holding back the combat so much. WTF it's not like we don't know what it is. Just show it...have somebody actually playing the game. We've heard enough from the devs.

 

[R6Rider]

What a waste of time.

 

[Ulysses 31]

Haven't played the first game but did the voices state obvious things there too? I feel it errs too much in the tell, don't show territory.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

So far with HB2 talk, I dont think there's been one second talking about gameplay. It's all story, acting, and now singing.

I knew those early promos showing in game gameplay were misleading. This game is going to be mostly a non-gameplay kind of game.

Good for GP gamers who can test. For those who aren't be weary. If you are looking for a highly stylized story driven game with some sword swingin here and there, go for it. If you are looking for a Ninja Gaiden or DMC action ball buster, avoid.

Dont be tricked into thinking a warrior character with a sword means it's an action game.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Hellblade is The Order part 2

Pretty but hollow

This looks to have less gameplay than the order too…

 

[Represent.]

May 21 I finally turn on my Xbox again

 

[CherryFalls]

I appreciate their passion, but I think they forgot this is a video game (hellblade)

 

[jshackles]

Finally something good, not from Microsoft lol

 

[LordCBH]

square. Unexpected.

 

[nikos]

Please save this, Square Enix.

 

[zeroluck]

Hellblade 2 about to be a 3 hours movie

 

[NeonDelta]

Square

 

[Dazraell]

Huh, Square?

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

I live in Cambridge, UK and about 20mins from the Ninja Theory studio. If anyone wants to see some actual gameplay I could pay their studio a visit tomorrow with my phone and capture some footage.

 

[Gambit2483]

Guess I'm renewing Gamepass in
May...

 

[Faust]

Finally something good, not from Microsoft lol

Why do I get the feeling that Mana will be the *only* good thing to be shown today?

 

[JackMcGunns]

The distinct lack of clear gameplay is telling… and not very encouraging.

Or NOT telling lol.

I get that there could be spoilers, but damn I wanted to see more. Guess in 4 months

 

[LostDonkey]

Hey that was cool how a cheeky square enix man logged in and took over the schedule.

Very nice

 

[Null Persp]

we are all senua

 

[AlphaDump]

HB2 looks good, but I can't see shit. It's so dark in every shot.

 

[tommib]

Short. Immersive. Visceral. High visual Fidelity.

Speaking my language.

No fluff all the casuals die over.

I hope it’s full of tough puzzles just to fuck you up.

 

[Interfectum]

Visions of Mana...

 

[Bartski]

and now for some weebo boobies for good measure

 

[Represent.]

I appreciate their passion, but I think they forgot this is a video game

games dont have to all be the same

 

[cormack12]

May 21st, confirmed.

 

[LordCBH]

Jizz Corden: FF7 will get announced for Xbox at the thing maybe.
Square; best I can do is Visions of Mana

 

[Jigsaah]

Man I feel like Indiana Jones is gonna be like 2 seconds of gameplay....please don't do this.

 

[saintjules]

i don't understand why they are holding back the combat so much. WTF it's not like we don't know what it is. Just show it...have somebody actually playing the game. We've heard enough from the devs.

I mean they have 4 months until release. They have to stagger some footage I'd imagine.

 

[skyfinch]

That's it for Hellblade? That's what you're showing and the game is out in a few months?! I predicting low to mid 70s. Same bullshit that happened with Forza.

 

[sendit]

Don't really care much for the games here, but I enjoy this format in presentation.

 

[FeralEcho]

Visions of Mana looks amazing,glad for Xbox players.

 

[Senua]

we are all senua

No

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Hellblade looks good. Maybe it's because I played it in the dark, with headphones, while on edibles that really enhanced the experience, but I absolutely loved the first.

Hellblade 1 was an amazing game. Didn't play it with headphones, but with surround sound it was an outstanding experience all the same.
I actually loved the combat as well.

HB2 seems to be the same, with some upgrades.
But that's all it is, more of the same. It'll be a great game, but not the system-seller people were claiming it's going to be.
