That's incredible facial animation. If the in-game graphics, gameplay, combat and story all match that high standard it then I can see the potential for this truly being Hellblade II: Ragnarok Killer.
Series S won't hold the current gen back. Better graphics is an evolutionary change-- it's relatively easy for developers to load lower res textures and turn down the draw distance, lighting effects, etc. for the Series S. Introducing SSDs is the true revolutionary change that defines the generation. The Series S and X both use the same type of SSD. The Series S is no slouch and will perform just fine at 1080p.

Exactly! I don´t know how hard is for those fanboys to understand that Xbox Series X is and will be the lead platform for games development and the Series S versions of said games will only get ports from it. Smdh.
Where are the comparable games for Xbox Series? It’s taking way too long, and PS5 is wiping the floor with game tidal waves 🌊 after waves 🌊 Spiderman 2 will be a juggernaut 💥
I'm not sure what you are trying to say? Yes it was impressive. Yes this is impressive looking too. That said the original didnt have much going on as far as gameplay goes. It was a self contained linear story. Didnt exactly allow them to show anything else off besides their budgeting.
Yes! It was crazy impressive at the time, and would be amazing even today if a game actually game out and looked like that during gameplay.
That said, it's also why I take these tech demos with the largest grain of salt. They look great, as does the Senua one. But it really doesn't mean anything, in any fashion, for what the game will ultimately look like. It's cool, but that's kinda it.
To be fair virtually every game Sony has put out since Uncharted 4 has matched or surpassed that demo.
For UE5 we've seen legitimate gameplay from the matrix demo and the earlier footage of hellblade II that show these visuals are actually achievable in an actual videogame so I'm pretty optimistic.
Sure, I've played all of those. I said it would be impressive even today if a game looked like that during gameplay. I didn't say no other game even looks this good, even today.

Lots of games look great, and graphics wise I'd say you're right. There's still something about these that I think look a bit more impressive - sometimes - from an animation point of view. Which I think is easier to do when you only have to focus on a few minutes of animation rather than a whole game.
Just like the trailer in 2019 and 2021 when it hadn't even started full development. Tired of tech updates for a game that barely exists. This is almost entirely what MS has done this whole generation. Announce games that haven't even started development bc they simply have very little to show otherwise. Ppl praise Phil but the game management is concerning when numerous studios/titles are in limbo. From Undead, The Initiative, 343, Rare with Everwild, Starfield/Redfall delays, Fable, HB2, Outer Worlds 2 ridiculous announcements, to games gone dormant ie Avowed. Compulsion been silent. What is going on with XB studios? Look at when HB2 was announced and the lack of output over that time from MS. Ppl say these studios need time, Ninja T has had 4 yrs since they announced the game and everyone brags about the resources MS has yet they'd rather their new gen system rot for 3 yrs with hardly any exclusives than actually plan/partner on third party projects to fill the gap. But they got The Gunk and it's a forever console exclusive, they do minor timed deals all the time. It's not a moral decision to omit quality 3rd party aaa it's poor management. Gamepass is great but ppl also want quality exclusives and with lack of 1st party output combined with lack of third party aaa it becomes an exclusives ghost town at a time when ppl look for these games to distinguish and support their new console. Hence why launch lineups are so important, ppl want to play games they can't get elsewhere, they want to see what the hardware can do, they want to feel like their new console purchase is justified and MS absolutely dropped the ball and continues to echo the same wait til next yr sentiment. They plan a new console several years in advance, if u don't have exclusives for the first few years of that launch it's just bad management especially when u have more money than god. Tired of empty game announcements, acquisitions, n tech demos...release some f****** games. Don't tell me about the future when u stiff me in the present. I bought an XB Series, i have GP, i'm not just talking crap. So miss me with the tech demo. Miss me with "in engine". Hit me with a 2023 release date bc 2022 was a release yr jk in terms of exclusive output and Starfield was a motivating factor for me to reup last yr. HB2 put a lot of ppl on the XBSX hype train in 2019. If exclusive games were releasing consistently i would excuse these early announcemens, but not when it's your entire foundation. Gamepass doesn't excuse everything. Idc if i get hate, i invested in the ecosystem and i'll speak my mind. Teedurden1, see me there.
I read through your wall of text and I got to say I agree! Especially when you got Spiderman 2 rumored to come this September to crush Starfield Xbox exclusive!!!! You know anything Spiderman will bring in those big numbers!!! And when they drop a trailer for Wolverine dang!!!! A tidal wave 🌊
darth barely plays games. U cap for xb and i play it more than u. Dispute the content of what i said otherwise u read like a child on Twitter. Tired of empty attacks over intelligent debate.
Especially if mid gen upgrades are ready by release which is weird to think about considering HB2 was announced and shown a yr before this gen even started. That's a problem, i'm done fawning over tech demos after 4 years and yall should be as well. The HB2, Fable, TES6, Outer Worlds 2, Everwild, Perfect Dark, SoD3 announcements were all hollow and leading. They've gotten enough buzz without actually earning it. Starfield had a similar trajectory, Avowed is following suit, Halo did the same. It's the entire XB foundation bar Forza/Gears. They operate like Kickstartrer, announcing a concept. If they released games consistently i could understand but this isn't a Wolverine situation. Insomniac by themselves has released more AAA exclusives this gen than the entirerty of XB studios (MM, R&C, SM Re) plus Spidey 2 this yr, they're allowed to have one like Wolverine when they constantly pump great games.
I remember Sony saying "We believe in generations" but Xbox are the one's ushering in current gen with Redfall, Starfield and Hellblade so take your Salt elsewhere lol

And don´t forget Forza Motorsport. All true current gen games!
@faces, you xbox fans should just settle for actual releases of any games. Lol. Having to make games for the series s to will tie xbox to last gen indefinitely. Lol
It's funny because only Spiderman 2 and Ratchet & Clank are Sony developed PS5 exclusives off the top of my head, and they both came from the same studio. Naturally, I don't count Returnal or Demon's Souls because they weren't part of PlayStation Studios at the time of release.
Other than Wolverine, do Sony even have any other announced PS5 exclusives?
Insomniac have really bailed them out so far. What an incredible studio they are.
There is no need for such a comment - igniting the fanboy flame without merit in an article about an Xbox game.
In addition it was Sony who kicked off next gen with games like Rachet and Clank and Demon Souls remake (true next gen exclusives) next to cross gen games.
Even their cross gen games look stunning by any standard (give credit where credit is due)
On the contrary, I think she is a natural. She's not even an actress and conveyed the character's grief impeccably. If it seemed over the top to you it's because the characters suffers from extreme mental illness or because you're not able to gauge emotion.
That's Crazy! release date when?
Brilliant, but we need a release date!
It's Unreal Engine 5 tech, big whoop.
Does anyone remember the Dark Sorcerer demo from E3 2014.
