Even though it’s a Microsoft exclusive coming to Xbox Series X|S, PC, Cloud, and Game Pass day one, the next chapter in Senua’s Saga is set to be one of the biggest games of the year after it releases on May 21st.
Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 will be released in a few days and Microsoft has shared some new screenshots for it.
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.
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.
@Cacabunga
Lol CGi ?
you need to wait for the full analysis from digital foundry.
@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
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.
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.
Quite possibly I can't think of anything else that came out this year with a high level of Fidelio like this
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.
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.
After watchdogs, I’ve been overly cautious of hyping myself up for how a game looks until I get it in my hands.
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
@Rynxie
What about the FPS? Trying to get it in 60fps. Hopefully it doesn't turn out like Dragon's Dogma 2
I'd rather go ultra and 1440 tbh. 4K is massively overrated unless you play on a huge TV
Looks good, but don’t know if it’s actual in game graphics. We’ll find out soon enough.
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.
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.
@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..
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.
If you played the first game you will know this is all real-time in game.
the lockdown was not kind to senua, just like Alloy from horizon, she's put on about 15lbs
In Hellblade II, combat has been expertly captured to both feel fantastic and serve the wider narrative.
As part of our Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II takeover, uncover how Senua has evolved for the next riveting chapter of her journey.
it will be such an unique experience blended with unparalleled realism, visuals and art.
May 21st can´t come soon enough.
Can't wait , I dint care if its 30 or 120fps if its llay good Im all in
I'm keeping my expectations low on this one because I thought the first game was mediocre at best with good-looking graphics. The gameplay had no depth in the first game and I remember doing more walking than fighting in the first game. It has the potential to win graphics of the year though.
That headline is the most unfortunate setup for a dig at Xbox, given the lack of games that have warranted even purchasing an Xbox (and that can date back to 2013). It's almost a notable Xbox game by default.
I can’t wait to play. I’m also very eager to watch Digital Foundry’s technical analysis of Hellblade 2.
