Stellar Blade has many players talking about how they feel like it is a truly next-gen experience just based on the demo.
Shift Up, the developer behind Stellar Blade, has released a new update, bringing the game to version 1.006.
Shift Up's recent release, Stellar Blade, proves that not all PlayStation exclusives need huge sales figures to be successful.
That impossible to say without knowing each companies individual expectations. For example Arrowhead clearly had a set expectation for Helldivers 2 but the results were far beyond their expectations. Another exclusive for KT (Rise of the Ronin) became their best seller of all time. Was this their expectations? Who knows but I doubt it.
Stellar Blade did very well for a new IP that happened to be exclusive. Did i expect it to do this well? Not sure but what's more important is Shift Up's expectations.
It seems the Stellar Blade roadmap has been leaked via an internal presentation. It mentions Photo Mode coming in August and more.
I think at this juncture, we can start calling it current gen.
*on a current game system..one that is on the market since almost 4 years.
SB is Current gen
when I played demo I saw some textures from ps3 era
PS5 came out in 2020, it's now 2024. It's not next-gen any more, not be a long shot
