Xbox One S = No, Xbox Series S = Yes.

Yeah I mean the Series S.

Glad I kept it. I’m a big fan of the first game and hopefully this will be as good.

6 years after its acquisition, Ninja Theory is ready to set a new standard for Xbox Series X exclusives with Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2

- 30FPS on both consoles.
- The core team working on Hellblade 2 is around 80, a massive leap compared to the 20 or so who staffed the original game – but low by most AAA standards.
- Tameem Antoniades left the studio.

Looking incredible, slight shame it sounds/looks like the Rune puzzles are carried over from Senuas Sacrifice, they weren't awful puzzles but got a little same-y towards the back portion of the game.

Yep can't say I was a fan of them either, I should really get around to finishing the first one, I'm pretty sure I'm at the end. :fp:

It’s got a really weird ending mechanic as well (in the last, or second to last fight of the game), still looking forward to this though, really enjoyed the first one, still mean to quickly replay it before this comes out, really need to use my headphones for it.

This skipped me by. But with 2 coming to gamepass I thought I’d try. It’s a bit weird at first and has lots of god of war feels. But once you settle into it being a totally different game and just immerse yourself, it’s actually pretty clever and very good. I’m beating the end, but I’ve enjoyed jumping in knowing very little. Excited for 2.

Hellblade 2 looks like the most visually ambitious Unreal Engine 5 game yet

Thought I’d make a start on replaying Senua’s Sacrifice with my headset this time, it’s very creepy if you turn the volume up when there isn’t a load of other sound effects happening at the same time. Opted to play it the ‘enriched visual’ mode and it looks bloody amazing, the vistas were already nice when I played it back in late 2020 or early 2021, it does me wonder how Hellblade 2 is going to look much better when playing it really.

I’ll make an attempt to get all of the stories from the north for the achievement I'm missing, but not going to obsess over it.

I didn't realise this was so close. Do we have any idea when previews and the like are coming?

I noticed Kinda Funny has a interview scheduled for Wednesday so maybe something around then.

Finished Senua's Sacrifice earlier this afternoon, still a great game, but hampered a little by the repetitive puzzles.

I am a little worried that Ninja Theory could be going the same way as Tango, after marketing this quite often before a release date, I've barely seen anything, which is odd considering its out in under 10 days.

I’ll get it downloaded tomorrow, ready for Tuesday, sure it said about 40GB when I looked earlier, might have read it wrong.

The photo mode looks really good; I love how you can set the light source position and change the effects - it transforms the scene.
