Is that all they have done so far?

They've been doing dev diaries.

alb18991090d ago

You don't understand what you just saw. Everything that is happening above will produce changes on everything that light can touch. With that and great sound effects...the atmosphere in this game will be top notch.

warriorcase1090d ago

Yes. I'm sure all they have done so far is create a cloud system...

agnosticgamer1090d ago

So because they shared some tech they are using in the game... It means that's all they worked on this entire time? You sound like a very sad console warrior. Sometimes it's better to stay silent... Then speak and sound like a fool....

For what it's worth I think the tech looks cool and could set some nice atmospheric tones for the game. Hopefully it's used in more games as well going forward.

"Is that all they have done so far?"

No, i would guess that is all they have shown so far.....

Nice try though, i have to congratulate the attempt.

repsahj1089d ago

i think AC Valhalla also have cloud system, so this is not new to me. If they improve it, good for them. Im a lil excited to see it in actual gameplay.

So they show this to try to take away the broken internet from the horizon forbidden west state of play news. I guess they have their head in the clouds.

Jericho13371090d ago

No that’s just in your head mate.

Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life.last month her pay check was $12712 just working on the laptop for a few hours. This is what I do,

Huh??

I barely glanced at that. More excited about Battlefield and Starfield.

Robodrake1090d ago

Forbidden west will be better than those games

Tacoboto1090d ago

Or it's this other crazy conspiracy that tomorrow is UE5's first appearance in about a year...

StoneyYoshi1089d ago

This game has been in development before UE5 was available plus UE5 hasn't even been officially released yet (still in preview). Gears Devs are the first to announce that they are beginning to work on UE5. Most likely this will still be a UE4 game but Project Mara will probably be a UE5 game.

StoneyYoshi1089d ago

I guess I'm wrong and they are actually using UE5 for this game. My mistake.

chiefJohn1171090d ago

What news? Cause I honestly havent heard nothing so it definitely wasn't internet breaking whatever your talking about

Darkborn1090d ago

To all the people on here. Check out YouTube. Hell, check out the top news right now on n4g.

Atom6661090d ago

They can't. Apparently this news broke the internet, remember?

Orchard1090d ago (Edited 1090d ago )

Are we now pretending NT put this out there to somehow cancel out the HFW news? I mean c'mon, it's some clouds for a few seconds, and the HFW State of Play isn't even today.

Not everything is down to a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory.

KillBill1090d ago

Gonna be interesting if HZW sky looks flat.

StoneyYoshi1089d ago (Edited 1089d ago )

The Decima engine uses real-time Volumetric clouds which were used in HZD. Plus you can already see how the clouds look in the reveal trailer for HFW. Definitely not flat... 😂
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

For this game, they decided to go the route of controlling the flow of the clouds for specific atmospheric effects. They could still be volumetric but they are not dynamic.

thesoftware7301090d ago (Edited 1090d ago )

@Darkborn,

Wow, so anything shown from now until then, from another system is to show up HFW?

I assure you that my internet worked fine all day, even after I read the HFW news.

Get Sony's balls out of your mouth...

CrimsonWing691090d ago

Do you have any more tinfoil hats?

warriorcase1090d ago (Edited 1090d ago )

Connecting dots betwee a dev showing off some cloud tech as an attempt to take attention away from an announcement days later is next level delusional.

Sayai jin1090d ago

Broken internet? Although there are many excited gamers gor that announcements, including myself, that announcement was not interent breaking. Even the article in this site is sitiing around 130 odd comments after 12 plus hours. Not geound shaking. Exciting? Yes.

Seem as those you are using some decent mental gymnastics to come up with your theory.

DOMination-1089d ago

10/10 trolling I'd be proud of, reeled in quite a few.

This is heating up though, imagine the temperature if everyone didn't have broken internet!

The trailer for Hellblade II shook the world,

Not sure why the disagrees because clearly it's visually a fantastic looking game. I'd be interested to know what better looking games from 2024 the people who disagreed think look better.

PrinceOfAnger23h ago

I'm interested too, what game looks better this year ?, but we all know who are these people , cleary the ones who don't have the game day one on their favorite platform.

PrinceOfAnger17h ago

@Cacabunga

Lol CGi ?
you need to wait for the full analysis from digital foundry.

Cockney15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

@PrinceOfAnger
You asked a question some agreed some didn't then you ridiculed those that disagreed
why go full fanboy?
That is kinda flaky, I'd suggest maybe seeing some gameplay before jumping the gun, we are all waiting to see what digital foundry say

Abear2111h ago

Nobody believes Xbox hype because they burned so many people with Halo, Starfield, and Redfall.

Hard to tell from a monster PC screenshot, but yeah, it will likely be the best looking console game when it launches.

mkis00721h ago(Edited 21h ago)

I mean best looking game of all time so far imho...that said, that is all that we know. It's a set goal that is easy to achieve if you are not getting bogged down in physics, ai, and other power hungry operations. Most dev's have more they are going for then just the best graphics. Also this is one of the first true Unreal Engine 5 games that is pushing the said graphics aspect. UE always looks damn good for each iteration.

I want to see what the face idle animations look like.

Profchaos20h ago

Quite possibly I can't think of anything else that came out this year with a high level of Fidelio like this

Zeref17h ago

It's a new graphical benchmark

Huey_My_D_Long15h ago

Honestly, I agree, just wished MS would have marketed this more. Ill try to pick it up on PC if I have the extra cash.

gleepot15h ago

I definitely think you'll be hard pressed to find a bigger visual marvel than hellblade 2 for a while, regardless of how it ends up being game-wise.

InUrFoxHole13h ago

Yes but I hope the story is good

Makersbreath212h ago

After watchdogs, I’ve been overly cautious of hyping myself up for how a game looks until I get it in my hands.

The game is gorgeous there's no denying that.

Sonic188123h ago(Edited 23h ago)

I should be able to get 4K 60fps in medium to high settings on my RTX 4080. I noticed they mentioned the rtx 4090 in the article

Rynxie7h ago

Will my Nvidia 980 be able to play it on high?

Sonic18816h ago(Edited 6h ago)

@Rynxie

What about the FPS? Trying to get it in 60fps. Hopefully it doesn't turn out like Dragon's Dogma 2

andy8511h ago

I'd rather go ultra and 1440 tbh. 4K is massively overrated unless you play on a huge TV

Sonic188111h ago(Edited 11h ago)

I'll be playing it on my LG G3 Oled 55 inch TV. I was going to use DLSS 3.0. As long as I can get a stable 60fps is really all that matters to me

Flewid6381h ago

Yup that is how I game on my PC. From the couch, controller, 1440p/60 locked on every genre.

FACTUAL evidence23h ago

Looks good, but don’t know if it’s actual in game graphics. We’ll find out soon enough.

romulus2322h ago

Safe to say the majority of those shots are cut scenes not actual game play and that last shot of the face is absolutely a cut scene, I wish we had in game graphics like that when you're actually playing but we are no where near that level yet. Still it's very impressive looking.

Lightning7713h ago

It's all real time, no cut aways. This is UE5 game so it's all seemless.

The consoles are more than capable of doing it like Alan Wake 2 or even Last Of Us 2 on last gen PS4.

romulus2311h ago

@Lighning77

LOL, nah. There's a difference between in engine and in game while you are actually physically playing and controlling the character. I'm not saying the game doesn't look good in fact I've said the very opposite but people need to be realistic, there's going to be a lot of cut scenes in the game just like God of War or Uncharted where the game will look way better in those cinematic non playable cut scenes than actual game play. There's no way that last face shot image is game play, that is a cinematic in engine cut scene, you can disagree if you like but that's what it is..

Lightning779h ago

It's all the same even during story elements. That's pretty much what they've been touting this whole time. DF will break it down so we'll have to wait and see.

PrinceOfAnger20h ago(Edited 20h ago)

If you played the first game you will know this is all real-time in game.

purple10118h ago

the lockdown was not kind to senua, just like Alloy from horizon, she's put on about 15lbs

Psychonaut8513h ago

I may be wrong but I’m pretty sure that’s a different character, not Senua.
