CG writes: The Stellar Blade PC demo dropped yesterday and here are two gameplay videos running at max settings in 4K using an RTX 4090. The gameplay feels polished but somewhat dated in our opinion (as are the UE4 visuals). The game seems like a cross between Bayonetta and a souls-like without the punishing deaths. However (and PS5 fans can attest), the fan-service is “refreshing” in a sea of Western developed titles shying away from sexualized lead characters. Bravo SHIFT-Up, take our money when the game releases June 11th.
They do look dated, though...
It's 4k, but everything looks like it's from last generation hardware. The problem isn't that this is dated, it's that we don't call it out for being dated in other major games.
In some ways I disagree about dated, as the modelling for objects, (not saying Eve herself), is done better than the highest end graphical games. I'm talking about examples like chairs and bottles and shops, etc. The aspect proportions in this game are way more accurate than any other game I've played.
@Christopher they absolutely are. Give me another game accurately size beer and wine bottles.
"Dated visuals? What in the hell?"
It´s powered by eleven years old tech. The rest self explanatory.
@Redgrave
"I suppose you'd be the one true expert on things powered by old tech, huh"
Yes
old tech doesn't matter, some older games look better than games made today. Examples, COD Advance Warfare, InFamous Second Son.

I`m gonna make it easier for you to understand.
By comparison, Clair Obscur, which is a *cheaper* ($50) AA UE5 powered game, will absolutely destroy some AAA UE4 powered games like Stellar Blade, Redfall or Lost Soul Aside ($60).
It is what it is.
The open world areas are alright and fairly intricate in their design. There are not that many athmospherical effects nor deptjh of field or other prost processing effects, however the game is fun. Imagine Devil May Cry in space with a decent upgrade system for moves and weapons. Some fights are a bit frustrating and need to be won following a certain strategy. Characters are alright, feel a bit stiff at times. The game is definitivellty worth a look. Played on PS5 basic and quite enjoyed it.
how are they dated, I played it on PS5, and it looks great, some of the textures are blurry but only close up
the character models are very good
FromSoftware games have dated graphics, but why do they get such high scores, they all look last gen and many several gens old
This website typically reviews P games or lewd gachas/mods. This particular review has to be a move made to garner traffic by speaking negatively about Stellar Blade while not being completely off brand from the usual fare.
I love the visuals and I think they look absolutely great. Games don't need GPU breaking lighting models in order to be fun.
Shift Up's Stellar Blade is landing on PC next month, and that means mods are soon to follow.
Boy it about to go down, i just watch the mods for resident evil 2,3 remake last night lol Jill & Ada thicc mods is crazy.
The levels of praise for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 have been off the charts since it launched a few weeks back, and now that more people are rolling credits on the RPG, it's getting some additional Game of the Year talk.
Case in point: Kim Hyung-tae, director of Stellar Blade and founder of its developer, Shift Up, has taken to social media in order to express his love for Sandfall Interactive's debut.
The year isn’t close to over so it’s a little premature to be calling for GoTY already.
I mean he did say it's his GOTY. But there doesn't seem to be much to challenge it unless DS2 or Ghost of Yotei improve greatly on the last ones or there's a big surprise. Split Fiction is the only proper challenger really so far this year given ITT won it in the past. But given the universal praise and it's highest user rated game ever there's only one runner for me so far this year
While I agree, I can only imagine DS2 and Ghost of Yotei stand in the way.
This year has already been amazing and I hope we'll get more bangers this year and I'm mostly hyped for DS2, but after spending over 100 hours with Expedition 33, even I who normally only like Final Fantasy rpgs think Expedition 33 will be fighting for the GOTY for real.
I’m not saying it’s not a contender but over half the year left. Before this game came out who would think it would be GoTY? Some more games can come into contention out of nowhere so I like to play the years games before making up my mind
I dont think Obscur is that great, but I dont see what is going to compete. I guess kingdom come 2. Ninja Gaiden 4 will have to be the ultimate hack and slash game to ever be considered a candidate. Oh wait, I forgot aboit Ghost of Yotei.
I still have to start the new dynasty warriors game, get doom, looking forward to lost souls aside, playing south of midnight and honestly Clair definitely set a standard that’s going to be tough to top. But, it’s not impossible for sure
quite honestly, i played doom yesterday, its abit, dull.
definitely action packed, but i dunno, i expected abit more.
i do too, this game, fuck me sideways.
only a few games give me that sorta feeling, i couldnt stop playing.
the music, fuuuck so good.
the story, the characters, fhe battles ,so good.
i love this game so much ha
this game, the story, and the music, gave me real physical emotions. Any game that can do that to a player deserves praise.
This is my GOTY so far. Ghost is a day 1, i still have to finish ds1 so i probably wont be there day 1 for ds2. I kno Ghost is gonna be amazing, but its gonna be hard to top this as my goty.
I'm sure everyone knew this without a guide
It's actually a very average game. If it wasn't for EVE and being able to play dress up with her, it wouldn't be getting talked about at this point. There's nothing special or unique about it at all.
