The Bleeding Edge of multiplayer design

From GI.biz: "There's no denying Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice did wonders for Ninja Theory's reputation.

The game, which explored mental health issues in a dark fantasy adventure, garnered widespread critical acclaim, sold more than one million units in its first year, and picked up five BAFTA awards -- not bad for a title with a lower development budget than might be expected from a studio with such AAA pedigree."

Looks so much fun. Reminds me of streets of rage mixed with some twisted metal.

Ninja Theory Drops Bleeding Edge Development to Focus on Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II & More

Today Ninja Theory announced that content updates for its multiplayer combat game Bleeding Edge will cease.

Tech51601d ago

the game could have thrived with another studio partnering to add more characters and levels.
there are still old games still receiving partnerships like FH4 and Smash bros adding more to their multiplayer content. anyways can't wait to see more of Hellblade 2 game now that it's being at the center of focus.

BLizardXD1601d ago

game still has some very good animations. Hellblade 2 though is going to be sick running on UE5.

"Ninja Theory Drops Bleeding Edge"

PlayStation gamers - "good"

SpeedDemon1601d ago

I'm not a PS gamer and think it's a good move, there's no use in beating a dead horse.

Shiken1601d ago

TBH, Hellblade 2 is a much more important title to the XBox library.

Rachel_Alucard1601d ago (Edited 1601d ago )

You should be glad because now they can focus on something that isn't a steaming pile of shite. But no instead you'd rather have one group live in your head rent free for every single thing.

Christopher1601d ago

I think most PS fans will agree that this is nothing to do with Ninja Theory and they want them to make Hellblade 2. It is good to see them make a new game rather than hitch themselves longer to an IP that they really aren't getting the support they should get from Microsoft to advertise it and grow it with new content.

Xbox gamers - “good”

SmokinAces1600d ago

You know what they say about assumptions. Just becasue a person thinks its better they focus resources on whats sure to be a better game then on a game that has reviewed very poorly and has very little interest from the gaming community doesn't make them a "Playstation gamer". Its 2021, time to grow up and stop with the fanboy nonsense.

Kilua1600d ago

Ok. Ninja Theory must double down on bleeding edge development. Im sure that will make everyone happy

Not really, if this was suppose to show NT's competence as well as MS's "free hand" towards devs.

If, as many defend, this was an original project that suffered no micro-controlling influence.

Yah bleeding edge was not very good unfortunately

gamer78041600d ago (Edited 1600d ago )

That’s cool @343_guilty_spark just wasn’t my type of game, couldn’t get into the character designs or the melee

Kurt Russell1600d ago

I liked the cha design and the melee... the ropey server connection was what killed it for me. I think I smashed it for about 3 days, then dropped it.

Killer73nova1601d ago

Bleeding edge was fun for about 30 min but after that it’s just repetitive. They said it was just a game they’ve been working on for fun. But I’m glad they are putting everything into senua and I’m excited to hear about the “more”

I_am_Batman1600d ago

I'm kinda shocked that they've supported it for this long to be honest. I'm glad they are focused on more promising games now.

Hellcat20201601d ago

Too bad
The game just didn't deliver anything good or new
It was another game I didn't have to purchase due to Gamepass

I didn't expect much from Bleeding Edge but was still disappointed. It's like they were actively trying to make a terrible game.
