Well, you actually can show gameplay at GDC, there's nothing stopping developers from that (time-stamped):

its kinda ridiculous that we havent seen anything of combat or puzzles yet. the game was announced a long ass time ago. we should have seen alot more by now. actually, the same goes for alot of microsoft 1st party games.

How are they hyping? We have like 3 shows/videos in 4 years. This is just another game in development. I almost forgot about it since we’ve seen so little about it.

How many games did they put alongside the first Series X reveal?
Even if they're not constantly hyping it they have put it on a pedestal somewhat.

Just because you've seen idiots compare Cyberpunk to starfield doesn't mean I have.
Maybe don't generalize and impose your own inadequacies on others.
I don't compare to Cyberpunk lightly, that was a game I warned many about before release, the fact that all we've seen is 3 tech demos of an over acted highly pre rendered face pulling silly poses directly at a camera instead of any actual game since 2019 when announced (meaning the game has been in development for longer) is disconcerting for me.
To my original point we should have seen at least some form of game by now and the fact that it's just more tech demos is worrying like Cyberpunk was worrying.
I guess people would rather see silly faces then video games these days

They're gearing up for that E3 showcase I see. Can't show too much till then, just a tease.
Also, this is the best looking 3D render of Senua, till date. Obviously, that reveal where she sings that tribal song, was a target render, and the next one was downgraded. This one screams nextgen and looks real-time, with insane LoD. There's something very uneasy about her in this new rendition, and I think that's what they're aiming for.

Can't wait for people call the combat animations "over-exerted."
None of that is ‘worrying’ or ‘concerning’ to me. Games take time to make, and Ninja Theory has a solid track record.
The game was revealed early in development. There are well documented COVID related delays to location photogrammetry among other things. Microsoft is clearly saving gameplay blowouts for its major conferences. Third parties are not expected to use an Unreal Engine conference at GDC as a major marketing event.
There are multiple games Microsoft is keeping under wraps until close to release. Playground’s Fable. InXile’s new AAA RPG. Hellblade 2. Obsidian’s Avowed. Are all these to be compared to Cyberpunk now?
I didn’t expect to see gameplay of first party exclusives at an UE5 Metahumans demo. Literally drowning in games to play at the moment, so I’m perfectly happy waiting until to showcase to see more of these games.
Godfall was shown off at the PS5 reveal. Was it on a pedestal too?
Key difference is, Hellblade 2 is a first party game. Vastly different stakes.
Congratulations. You finally understand what the "Next Generation" is
I tried a couple of times to explain to you when you say something like that about games like Redfall that don't have any next gen at all.

To be fair, Kojima(when he was with Konami) would randomly bring a 1-2 hour presentation to demonstrate every single graphics and gameplay aspect of his game either in TGS or GDC(or both). I remember videos of him doing this for MGS V, 4, 3, and Peace Walker. I think there might be footage of him doing it with MGS2 as well. I'd gladly call him the king of gameplay demonstrations and consider him a gigantic exception to everyone else's rules.

Probably because it's basically the same as the first game. Light, heavy, block, cool counter, super slow mo mode

It's Naughty Dog dude....lol. A more proven studio. A better statement would be "If it were multiplatform the reaction would be different". But then you could say that for a lot of games.

Cool looking facial shit. Ninja Theory has what it takes, so hopefully this is better than the first game.

It doesn't matter, all i can see is people bitching over some nice tech showed during an event made to show new tech.

What? GDC literally stands for GAME Developers Conference
Hell, Fortnite had like a several minutes long demo. Gameplay gets shown off at GDC all the time.
I don't think that expectation is unreasonable considering the venue.

Because it's the only thing what this studio is showing now for years. Some empty background and only one character? I mean we have seen many of these kinds of tech demo's for years already, but none of them really materialise the quality in-game.
It looks really good, but this is more due to UE5 and Metahumen then Hellblade itself.

I guess because of threads like these where everyone is lashing out at everything not sanctioned by their team?

Absolutely. The original Hellblade makes RDR2 seem like a summer blockbuster action flick in terms of stuff going. It's one of the most boring games I've ever played. Tried it for two hours and just gave up.

There is no way that's what it'll look like running on a Series X|S.... or even PC.

Claims that it looks exaggerated are in themselves exaggerated. It's in character.

Looks incredible, even though the exaggerated expressions look weird (common for games to exaggerate movements and expressions for effect).
Lol. They said it's on the latest AMD hardware, but realtime cutscenes have always been able to push the boundaries more than anything, every generation.

I mean, they showed a teaser trailer and a long gameplay video already...
How much do we saw about tsushima 2?
Spidey 2?
New bend game?
Factions 2?
New nd single player game?
Hell, sony didn't even bothered showing some gameplay for a dlc that is out in weeks...
I get that people want to see some more gameplay but where iscthe same rush for stuff that is coming out this year or next year?

Graphics will be good.
But will the game be similar to HB1 where it's tons of cut scenes and repetitive sword fights?

This looks impressive, but I'm pretty sure just showing "realtime cutscenes" like this or the first reveal trailer for such a long time will going to backfire pretty heavily when they'll show the in-game model. We have seen the "gameplay" video, but to me looked more like an interactive cutscene. Still curious about the final game tho.

When you have nothing valid left to criticize, you say you're not impressed with the acting.

Pretty weak comparison and you know it.
GymWolf
Member
How is it weak? We don't even know if h2 is a 2023 game but you are ok with zero gameplay for spidey that is confirmed for this year?
Just that one alone would be a good counter, you put factions 2 and some of the others and there is really no weakness in my argument unless you are invested in the console war...
And ninia theory is not a korean team, they are a microsoft first party team, hb2 is not a vaporware, the game exist, some people act like they are hiding some big secret...
I want to see gameplay aswell but an event based on tech is not the right place.
Doesn't microsoft has a big even to show starfield and other stuff in a couple of months?

True. There are a few that will try to turn anything into a negative if its involving xbox. Nobody should watch an action movie and expect good acting. seems like a silly complaintWhen you have nothing valid left to criticize, you say you're not impressed with the acting.

That's how the actress moves her mouth.

Pretty much your whole comparison falls apart with 2 games which aren't even announced. And we're talking about Xbox not Sony. Xbox has announced pretty much a lot of games early and haven't seen of heard shit about it for years.
It's not what Sony is doing here.

PS5 reveal was an hour+ so they showed the launch line-up and more Series X had minutes during the game awards and they chose Hellblade II.
Hardly comparable.

I was not a fan of the first game, but this looks phenominal. The facial capture tech is awesome and should make that part of "filming" games take way less time since the actor just has to wear a hat now. I do find the actress overdoes the facial movement though, like she's channeling Jim Carrey, but the first game was the same way so no turning back now.
No clearer indication that you’ve run out of grown up arguments.

I really don’t care.
My friend is learning UE5 for her multimedia studio. She’s been heavily enthused about metahumans for a while. We had a nice chat about the Metahumans showcase yesterday. That’s literally it.
The only person driven to strong emotion over this video seems to be you. Alas.
