Marvel's Blade Is Being Developed On Void Engine

Marvel's Blade is being developed using Void Engine, suggested a new job listing by a Senior Lighting Artist working on the entry.

JEECE277d ago

I wonder how many people who didn't buy Dishonored 2 or Deathloop are going to complain about Arkane making a Marvel game instead of working on an original IP.

isarai276d ago

I didn't buy either, but I still feel like the Arkane that built Dishonored is actually an amazing fit for Blade. Sadly I don't know if that Arkane exists anymore as over 70% of the staff including many veterans left their Austin studio cause they didn't want to make redfall and didn't like where things were headed. And Both Dishonored games were a collab effort from the two studios.

Now Lyon is apparently heading this game, not sure if they collaborating with Austin, and the last game they made alone was Death loop which, while mechanically great, had terrible AI and the loop was a poor excuse to turn a 5hr game into a 16hr game, which was really just the premise of the Prey DLC repurposed.

But we'll just have to wait and see, if they can still nail some buttery mechanics, but fill out their shortcomings in content and AI, I'll love the hell out of this game, I love blade as a character, from the comics to the films and cartoons he's badass and I always wanted a game to really pull it off.

Arkane Austin had nothing to do with Dishonored. They made Prey and Redfall. Arkane Austin losing staff has no effect on Lyon, which is the actual Arkane dev everyone knows.

@porkChop

You're wrong bro, Dishonored 2 was the first time they split up and did separate projects, but they both developed Dishonored 1. it's all right here bruv.

I couldn't care less who makes it as long as the game is good.

Profchaos276d ago (Edited 276d ago )

I brought death loop I loved it but it's done I don't want a sequel that would wreck it. I admit I didn't like the dishonored franchise though.

I also enjoyed the blade movies that nightclub scene was the most brutal thing I saw as a kid so it'll be great to see someone bring this to life in a game.

Also arkane are actually great at environmental storytelling. I casually played through death loop but didn't feel I missed much of the story which was largely told by picking up notes and diary entries this is actually a skill that many games try and fail. I feel as if the day Walker will probably benifit from that style of game

Flawlessmic277d ago

well im not expecting this to be a graphical power house, especially based of what little we know it looks like it going be very stylised.

Either way, please let this be good!!!!! Give us the Blade/Wesley snipes game we always wanted!!

im just glad a blade game is coming seeing as the movie reboot is in shambles atm.

the first blade movie to this day is still my favourite marvel movie

shinoff2183276d ago

This game has potential to be dope as fk. I remember watching blade when I was younger and just mesmerized. Fantastic stuff

BrainSyphoned276d ago

What a coincidence! It's also being developed for the console everyone is aVoiding.

DivineHand125276d ago

I was hoping the game was going to look photo realistic like a UE5 game, however, it seems the visuals will likely look like Death Loop. The performance of this engine is significantly better than UE5 so hopefully the gameplay will be fun.

Abnor_Mal276d ago (Edited 276d ago )

The artstyle of the characters look like many will be top heavy with little skinny legs and feet.

Others look like they may have the look of that avengers cartoon where they were short but had big hands and feet, let’s hope it’s not that, always hated that look.

I hope the game is dark and the vampires employ a blink teleport style similar to how you used one of your powers in Dishonored. Lots of gun action with silver stakes and holy water, crosses and hand to hand combat.

Rockstar Needs To Take A Break From The Series After GTA 6

In a time when Rockstar has forgotten everything else except GTA and RDR, it's about time the developer got back to some of its gems.

Wonder what happened to the leaked medieval game that they were working on ... hope that's still on going and gets released sometime after GTA VI

gold_drake2d ago

eh wat?

its been on "break" for 11 years now ha 5 came out literally 11 years ago

isarai2d ago

Seeing as how it's been like 12yrs between releases, i don't think taking even more time is a good decision for the series

TheNamelessOne2d ago

So GTA 7 in around 2045 or 2050 lol

Mr_cheese13h ago

So make one GTA every human generation instead of every other console generation?

Come on...

Well I really hope they make some $$ AND make a HFR2 in the process.

Sciurus_vulgaris1d ago (Edited 1d ago )

I’m wonder if Microsoft fully sold the Hi-Fi Rush IP. They kept the publishing rights of the original game. I don’t even understand why the IP was sold. MS could have had another of its menagerie of studios do another Hi-Fi game, despite such a thing being unlikely.

mandf12h ago

It was given for free on gamepass. It didn’t sell well. Look at starfield it only sold 2.5 million because of gamepass

Sciurus_vulgaris7h ago

Starfield did $235 million in revenue on Steam alone from Sept-December 2023. So I’m sure it sold considerably more than 2.5 million copies.

Yes, it did sell well. GP version has a fraction of the reviews that the Deluxe Edition (more expensive purchase version of original) has. If anything, it shows that more people actually bought the Deluxe version than played the GP version, on Xbox at least.

LucasRuinedChildhood22h ago

Hi-Fi Rush on the Switch 2 at launch would probably sell a good amount.

so i assume PSVR2 is not going to take its place. That's a shame as I do think it could benefit from the VR2 improved fidelity and controls.

OtterX1d 10h ago

Well, they did just announce a native PS5 version the other day. Maybe there's hope, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Play No Man Sky for open world experience on PSVR2

1d 9h ago
Abnor_Mal1d 6h ago

Never was a Minecraft fan, so no more support isn’t a big deal for me.

What I would like for Xbox and Bethesda to do is update Skyrim VR to be playable on the PSVR2. That’s the only game I want out of the Xbox catalog.

OtterX17h ago

I wasn't a Minecraft fan until VR. It heightened the experience for me, but I prefer to use texture packs to improve the look a little bit.

I'm slightly bummed about the drop of PSVR support bc I was starting co-op w my daughter w this. Her on the PSVR Minecraft, and myself on the PC version w my Quest 2. :\
