Senua's Saga: Hellblade II Gets Cinematic Lighting Experiment Screenshot

Publisher Microsoft and developer Ninja Theory have released a new screenshot for the upcoming Xbox Series X|S and PC game, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II.

Is that real time? This game will be a beautiful showcase for X Series. E3 21 this game needs to kick off MS E3 event this summer.

Anyone who has a single idea of what does that means is welcome.

And so, here we start already on E3 21 powa for MS? This running gag never ends.

Did you noticed that current start best start ever did not relied on any E3 event ?
E3 « win » is a thing of the past, console makers have much broader communication plans now.

Let’s hope for Ninja theory that « fans » stop pressure them to release a miracle savior for Xbox.
Seems like Cyberpunk story still did not demonstrate enough that crazy expectations are counter productive, from any side they come from.

[DiRtY]

A savior for Xbox is not needed. Xbox is doing fine.

I just want this game to be good and it would still be awesome to see some gameplay at E3 this year. I don't see why this would be a bad thing.

[DJStotty]

All that because they released a screenshot?

Insecure much.

[Charal]

@DiRtY

My point exactly, no one need a savior, so no need to wait for any big guns at E3.

Sure gameplay will be appreciated, but whenever Ninja Theory feels it is relevant vs its development schedule.

Patience is a virtue we all gamers needs to grow for our own interest.

[thesoftware730]

Charal, Calm down.

Did you come in here just to go on a negative rant, WTF dude. The guy/gal just mrly stated that what they showed looks great and hope E3 which games are unveiled shows more.

wow get off the Kool-Aid..relax and enjoy your life.

[SpineSaw]

@DiRtY
I'll wait till it comes to other console platform's to take a look at this puzzle game.

[SPEAKxTHExTRUTH]

Your rambling is very incoherent.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

"Stop with this bullying behavior when people have different opinion than yours."

Funny because you're the one who started with.

"And so, here we start already on E3 21 powa for MS? This running gag never ends."

So who started with the condescending comments already playing victim for something you started. Have some self awareness.

"Will it be possible one day on this site to discuss anything vaguely related to Xbox without enduring the fanboy justice warriors ?"

OK then don't start stuff. All I did was express excitement for HB2 and the coming Xbox event to show it off. Then you attempted to undercut that excitement with your comment.

You pushed me I push harder that's it, don't push me next time.

[Charal]

@ angelicicediamond

Thanks for the lol, mister pusher.
Do you ever discuss with someone without being agressive?

Sorry to cut your excitement about an obscure screenshot now one really knows how it was rendered.
But yeah your right, let’s hope HB2 will be a graphic behemoth, as it looks like this is your only criteria for the game.

It is easy to have a big mouth here I guess, but between 2 looks at your pp to be sure it is still the bigger one, try to use your brain for a second and understand what my comment was about.

I am convince 90% of the people waiting for HB2 to crush Sony never played the first one, have no clue about it’s gameplay and what was the purpose of the game.
If it is a Horizon like game you want, go enjoy it already on PC.

As for HB2, no one knows about gameplay and scope, and dumbly judge cinematic renders as holy grail.
It get us back to the Killzone scandal at PS3 reveal I am certainly too optimistic to think it put some sense in people’s mind. But maybe you were not born at that time.

I do hope HB2 will be a great game, with the best graphics possible.
But I do fear it is way overhyped by MS, and can only end up in disappointment a la Cyberpunk.

In that case, except your childish excitement breakdown no one care about, that would mean a lot of pressure and drawback for the poor devs working in that context, and maybe losing their job after monthes of crunch.

We must, as end users, put some sense in this industry, to let people do their best work without blindly over reacting at each PR tweet and continuously asking for more.

Well, I am definitively asking too much here I suppose, in times where people bought consoles twice there prices on eBay while crying about the rip off.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

"I am convince 90% of the people waiting for HB2 to crush Sony never played the first one, "

What a surprise you made this about Sony. YOU made this about Sony. Not surprising you came to that conclusion you can't help it. Xbox fans just want a solid AAA game under their belt. There are the ones who want to "crush Sony" with this game or ant Xbox game which is just stupid. Logically I don't see how that would... Anyway, point is when it comes to this site, youtube other forums Xbox fans just want a solid game that will not only showcase the consoles strengths but MS strength in having a worth while exclusive.

"As for HB2, no one knows about gameplay and scope, and dumbly judge cinematic renders as holy grail.
It get us back to the Killzone scandal at PS3 reveal I am certainly too optimistic to think it put some sense in people’s mind. But maybe you were not born at that time."

Uuh huh. That's the point of my first comment.

"In that case, except your childish excitement breakdown no one care about, that would mean a lot of pressure and drawback for the poor devs working in that context, and maybe losing their job after monthes of crunch."

Uh huh. No one cares except you.

"We must, as end users, put some sense in this industry, to let people do their best work without blindly over reacting at each PR tweet and continuously asking for more."

Uuh huh.

All that over my Comment. Take a walk.

[Charal]

« Uuh huh » is a good summary of your skill to discuss something without being a cunt.

You are so blinded , for whatever reason, to make a point that I discuss here only to defend something about Sony that you just don’t see that we want the same thing at the end: to HB2 to be a good game.

I don’t give a shit about Xbox and there AAA catalogue to be clear, I’ll play it on PC.
You were the first one to talk about showcase to Xbox, and your last comment just show you are just insecure about AAA on Xbox.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

"And so, here we start already on E3 21 powa for MS? This running gag never ends."

I have solution for that. It's called minding your own buissness and stick to things that interest you. They teach that in Kindergarten it seems you never passed that part and never will.

"E3 « win » is a thing of the past, console makers have much broader"

I never mention anything about winning anything. As a long running trend amongst gamers and journalists "winning E3" is something of the past now ever since Sony stopped attending.

You saw positive talk about an Xbox game and got super offended. As with most Sony fanboys who get mad, and angry including yourself desperately need a life.

[Charal]

Stop with this bullying behavior when people have different opinion than yours.

I give my opinion here like anyone else, with no personal attack so far.

For the rest of the comments about my life, don’t worry too much it will continue peacefully knowing your condescendent comments are comfortably shoved back where the sun never shine.

Will it be possible one day on this site to discuss anything vaguely related to Xbox without enduring the fanboy justice warriors ?

[Rambokind]

X Series, the console no one wants.

[medman]

@rambokind
I bought a series x for gamepass because I skipped the xbox one generation. I've owned every Sony console since ps1 so the ps5 was never a doubt and as it turns out, most multiplats (to this point) are performing better on ps5 and make pretty good use of the dualsense. I'm enjoying them both. Playing Control Ultimate on ps5 and catching up on many xbox titles I missed over the last gen.

[Orchard]

This game is going to be beautiful. MS studios really get the most juice out of Unreal 4/5.

[YourMommySpoils]

Sounds like the comment below this

[YourMommySpoils]

Even Shadow of Tomb Raider had better lighting from the current photo. Give us proof why we need to be informed on this.

[shabz666]

Check out their stuff on project mara. There are 2 videos on it from ninja theory on youtube. Those guys do some cool stuff. Enslaved was pretty good back in the day and I did like senuas sacrifice, especially with their audio tech.

[thesoftware730]

You complaining about a minor update for fans of a game? whats wrong with you?

Bro, there is no need to turn this into anything else, why you comparing TR?

If this dont interest you, move on and stop trying to flame shit.

[YourMommySpoils]

So we still doing cinematic here? XD

[Hellcat2020]

It looks amazing and I will admit I'm a bit jealous of XsX owners that will get to play this

[SpineSaw]

That is a nice photo taken from a CGI trailer that Microsoft will show at E3 2022. No room for this game at E3 2021 with Craig having his big day.

[Harryvok]

I remember Ryse Son of Rome looked great for a launch game back in the day... was very lacklustre gameplay wise though.

I wish we'd get less 'cinematic shots' etc and more gameplay videos. Not just this game, but games in general. Sick of all this fake hype that ends up with games either not looking anywhere near as good or the gameplay being really average. 'In engine' renders give me the shits too. They're never indicative of gameplay graphics.
