These Hellblade threads are filled with people who obviously didn’t play the first. I think they assume it’s more like GOW and less 75% visualization puzzles that it actually is. It’s a cinematic experience that uses sound and atmosphere to tell a story. It’s more akin to a plagues tale than GOW. Slow walking from beat to beat is what the game is…and it was an amazing experience for it.
First of all, it is a game. Not a movie. God knows what else. The game.
If a person is not interested in playing in this, then do not care how wonderful the graphics, atmosphere and content are.
In terms of graphics, Hellblade 2 looks the best that is currently on the market and will be in the next year (Maybe two)
But, it doesn’t matter if, as a game, it’s a dull walk with a couple of actions.
And stop giving the first game as an example. It was a project made for a penny by the standards of the gaming industry.
This is largely why he is considered a cult in some circles. Also for the cool sound and the very concept of psychosis. It was very exhausting to play. The fight there was very tiring.
Everything was very tedious there, except for the sound quality and the general concept of the story.
This is no ordinary indie studio these days. This is a studio under one of the largest companies in the world. And I don't give a damn what conceptual feature the game should have.
There is no development in this trailer other than amazing graphics ( really amazing)
And if the development of the combat system (and other aspects for which the project was criticized) are not improved, then to hell with this sequel. Another Order 1886 nobody wants a fuck.
The last Halo had the opposite problem. In terms of naked game mechanics, it is almost flawless. But, otherwise, this project is 15 years backward. And even in spite of this, the gameplay outweighed, and the project received high scores.
The new God of War and The Last of us 2 (Yes. Nobody cares about a bunch of whiners who didn't like the fact that in the story someone killed, whom they did not expect. This game has most of the custom games of the year. Check it out for yourself) are amazing and even the masterpieces of the industry, not because there is insane cinematography (although this is true), but also because there is a wonderful gameplay core.
And if Ninja Theory is not able to capture the most important aspect, then let them not do Hellblade 2 at all.
