Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 Reveal Trailer Was Running In Real-Time, Epic Reiterates

At the end of last year, we got quite a shock when Phil Spencer walked on the stage of The Game Awards 2019 and unveiled the Xbox Series X out of nowhere. Alongside it was also the unveiling of a much anticipated sequel, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2. The game got a stunning reveal trailer that was said to be in-engine and in real time. But, as is always the case, there was some doubt and skepticism about that. Well, it seems that Epic Games is sticking with it.

[PrinceOfAnger]

Haven't seen anything like it

[Hellcat2020]

On a Xbox console

[Marquinho]

IF this is true, then it's the most impressive UE demo I have ever seen.

I honestly thought it was pre-rendered. I mean... look at that overwhelming detail in her face!

[Eonjay]

I don't understand why there would be doubt. The engine is very powerful as we already know. The PS5 demo showed actual real time gameplay so why would they struggle with real time cut scenes. And parts of the Hell Blade trailer were clearly taken from Gameplay too.

Also, and maybe this is just me, but there is still a difference between real time cut scene and CGI.

[crazyCoconuts]

I'm most impressed with the facial animation and motion cap that Ninja Theory's team has accomplished here. That's some next level stuff going on, if the whole game is animated at that level of realism.

Marquinho,

"IF this is true, then it's the most impressive UE demo I have ever seen.

I honestly thought it was pre-rendered. I mean... look at that overwhelming detail in her face!"

Ninja Theory has always been pretty top notch in terms of facial detail capture. I liken them to Quantic Dream in this regard.

That said, I think people have to be mindful of terms like "in-engine". It totally doesn't mean you'll be playing the game with visuals like this. If it turns out that way, that would be very interesting, but I'm wary of that. Corinne Yu also said the Uncharted 4 reveal trailer was running in-engine and, while the in game visuals looked truly stunning (and still do), there was certainly a contrast where you knew what was gameplay and what was in- engine.

I am sure it's going to look incredible (it's Ninja Theory, after all) but I think it's very fair to speculate on the nature of this "in-engine" statement.

[ABizzel1]

I'm really interested to see what comes of this game, as I followed the journey of the original closely.

The first game turned out to be really good especially considering it came from only a fraction of the Ninja Theory Team in order to maximize profit. I believe it started with less than 10 people, moved up to 14, and ended with just over 20 people making the game after 3 years of work, and dubbed the term AAA indie.

As far as the trailer, the video clearly said in-engine, so I don't know why this is coming as a surprise to anyone, and seeing Unreal Engine 5 demoed it made sense. The trailer was sub 4K and 24fps. The 24fps is a cinematic framerate and the standard for film and movies, so that's understandable, and the Resolution as Digital Foundry said is probably being used to have a high pixel density in the given space just like how The Order 1886 did on PS4. That doesn't mean the final real-time cinematics will be this way, and obviously the gameplay won't be targeting 24fps.

It does, however, seem to be aiming for 4K @ 30fps. 60fps is possible, but I'll talk about that later, and it'll be highly jarring going from 60fps gameplay to 24 - 30 fps cutscenes, and while games have done that it just looks off.

Graphically will gameplay look like this trailer.... For the most part, yes, it won't be to that level of quality, but it will still hold up well, especially if you've actually played the first game.

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Environments:
You can look at the best examples of the current-gen, and see the trailer has each of those features and takes it up a step again as the Digitial Foundry video shows. Environments at their base are similar to the best of current-gen, however, they are significantly more level of detail (as UE5 demoed, which DF got wrong in their trailer review), better overall textures, and more geometry (rocks, foliage, etc...).

Character models:
Senua had an amazing character model for current-gen, so it's only natural that the model gets improvements from the base design already created with more polygon's added to smooth out places, and much better texture work and hair effects.

Overall Effects:
Simply put this new generation is catching up to PC in regards to having much better lighting, shadows, and particle effects, and those things will make games look better, even if it's not as noticeable as a huge improvement to texture quality.

Performance:
The game ran at Dynamic 900p @ 30fps on base XBO, Dynamic 1080p @ 30fps on base PS4, PS4 Pro Dynamic 1440p @ 30 fps or Dynamic mainly 1080p @ 60fps (but as low as 720p), and XBO-X Dynamic 4K @ 30fps for all modes except the performance-based 60fps mode (mainly 1300p but as low as 720p). So that pretty much paints the picture for the Series X as well. The Series X should be able to run the original game in 4K @ 60fps based on RTX 2080 ti performance, however, when you increase all of these effects such as environmental detail, lighting, shadows, multiple characters on screen, etc... then the performance cannot be comparable to the previous game which used tons of tricks such as LOD's to get max performance which the consoles won't be using nearly as much. A performance mode will likely be available with Dynamic 4K @ 60fps (likely 1440p for the most part).

[Imalwaysright]

"video clearly said in-engine"

Wich doesn't say much as it could be pre-rendered and not be running in real time.

[Stanjara]

Such a big post so I will say something.
In engine cinematic can mean anything cause gameplay uses different assets due to controls, physics, ai and all the things that make a game and are limited by memory.
Trailer was and is doubtfull cause it is post process heavy that all of it can be added in post production and editing.
Reason is marketing.

Now, recent events like last of us2 production and ue5 demo can bring senua visuals to gameplay but I believe that all of it was just a target.

We must see more.

[Tech5]

just to clarify on some gamers saying the video was running on UE5. the trailer specifically was UE4, the game it'self however has been moved to UE5.

[Shadowsteal]

The original game was such a chore to play. The first battle and the last played out basically the same way. Idk why anyone praises Hellblade so much but then bashed on The Order 1886 for example.

[gamer7804]

agreed, so far the most next gen looking graphics I've seen, looked like a top tier pre-rendered video. amazing.

[Smclaren1985]

Yeah horizons zero dawn 2 trailer looks nothing like it lol, it’s very impressive though we are in for one hell of a treat next gen. if we can get hold of a console that is with shortages and demand lol

[Obscure_Observer]

There´s nothing like it as far video game graphics go on any platform.

Xbox is promoting a true next gen visual leap with Flight Simulator, Hellblade II and Project Mara.

And they are just warming up! O.o

[Fantangoooo]

Madness.. I also doubted it was running on XSX.. but for Epic to confirm this... LORD! next gen cant come soon enough..

My eyes will bleed with joy..
I will still hold some reservations till i see full gameplay thought but i doubt it would be much different.. Hellblade 1 was a very pretty game.

[TranceHop]

I'm going to have a heart attack if Hellblade 2 gameplay looks anything close to the trailer.

[LOGICWINS]

Prepare your heart for next week then!

[1Victor]

I’ll wait till release day to pass judgment into it l. Gaming companies have proved in the past they will do anything to get a leg up on the competition remember milo/Kate “demo” and the original motostorm trailer. Yeah I do and I don’t get my hopes up on trailers/early demonstrations as A LOT can change before the final product

[Obscure_Observer]

@LOGICWINS

"Prepare your heart for next week then!"

Phil Spencer said "early in development". I don´t think we´ll see any gameplay footage next week. Specially now that Microsoft confirmed that it will running on UE5. ;)

[SyntheticForm]

Agreed.

That'd be something.

[Vasto]

If it was running in real time the in game visuals should be close.

[Imalwaysright]

If it's running in real time it's using the same assets as the gameplay portion.

[_dangerclose_]

A trailer is not gameplay.

[_dangerclose_]

You'll be fine.

[Rousseau888]

Next gen is going to be insane for sure

[rpvenom]

agreed. i was a fan of hellblade when it dropped on playstation. glad xbox fans got a strong exclusive.. and knowing how good the first one looked. i don't doubt for a second this will look amazing on the x

[goldwyncq]

If true then wow. Ninja Theory has essentially become Microsoft’s Naughty Dog.

[phoenixwing]

While that is a bit exaggerated ninja theory have always been able to do a lot with a little so giving them free reign should have great results

[throne]

ninja theory to naughty dog? not even close

[goldwyncq]

Well, I meant that one studio that pushes whatever console they're working on to its technological limit, producing breathtakingly beautiful masterpieces that stands above other games in that console.

[MadLad]

I don't see why ND is held in such high regard. As far as I am concerned, it's only their last few titles that blew my mind.
Uncharted was janky up until the 3rd game. Jak and Daxter had an identity crisis with every release.
Crash Bandicoot, while good for its time, aged fairly poorly.
Last of Us, and Uncharted 4 is where, I feel, their quality shows.

Last of Us is one of my favorite games, but I think Ninja Theory has put out more content that I truly enjoyed.
It will be pointed out that Metacritic disagrees with me, so that will make my assessment wrong.

[Minute Man 721]

@ TedCruz

Thou I bash Uncharted 4, it wasn't bad, it's just the set pieces didn't top Uncharted 2. Not to mention they demoed the best part of the game @ E3

[LOGICWINS]

Echoing what goldwyncq said, I think it's a fair comparison as both studios are known for pushing the limits of their respective console.

Hellblade 2 is aiming to be the Xbox's "Uncharted 2" so to speak. A sequel that blows away expectations and defines the new generation.

@Minute Man 721 Uncharted 4 is great, but it suffered from pacing issues.... particularly in the teenage Nate/Sam flashback scenarios.

Lost Legacy IMO was better than Uncharted 4 due to the better pacing and chemistry between Chloe/Nadine.

If Sony announced Lost Legacy 2 in August, it would make me consider buying a PS5 down the line.

[Atticus_finch]

Okay Ted Cruz, let's talk about bleeding edge. I'm sure you don't want to. ND has never released a game so bad, EVER...
"It's only their last few titles"
Yeah bro over 10 years of unmatched high standards and quality mean nothing.
You're argument is wrong way before talking about Meta scores and awards, but go ahead, being wrong never stops you.

[Obscure_Observer]

@Atticus_finch

"Okay Ted Cruz, let's talk about bleeding edge. I'm sure you don't want to. ND has never released a game so bad, EVER..."

Lol. You´re certainly new (age?) to gaming, otherwise, you would know of Naughty Dog´s Way of the Warrior on 3DO. ;)

[Atticus_finch]

@Obscure Wow! the 3do. haha, You got me.
Bleeding edge (2020)
Way of warrior (1994)
Lol

[MadLad]

@Atticus

Dear christ. You're everything wrong with this site. I give an honest opinion on how I view the Naughty Dog discography and you instantly need to bring up MS.
Believe it or not, not everyone here is a blind loyalist where Sony bad, MS good and vice-versa.
Also, Bleeding Edge wasn't even a bad game; it just didn't find its audience, so hush up twice over.

[Atticus_finch]

Come on teddy, I never mentioned MS. So you can comment your opinion but I cant.

[JackBNimble]

Not even close?
Most of ND's developers left , there are only very few originals still working there.
Time will tell but I believe ND is on a downward spiral.

[THC CELL]

No goldwyncq not even kind of close sorry but I am going to face palm my self 250 times

[Terry_B]

Lol, no.

[Atticus_finch]

Not in this universe.

[_dangerclose_]

lol, they wish.

[DiRtY]

You are not allowed to criticize Naughty Dog on N4G.

Prepare for disagrees and hate!

[Ristul]

Noughty Dog is overrated, they have been innovating almost nothing, they use the same formula for their games. Compare the on rails climbing in uc4 to breath of the wild for example.

[SamPao]

my god, just as an example, they have the best animations by FAR from ANY gamestudio. If you dont see this, then you should clearly have a look at it. If they would not be innovating they would not be on that level.
They changed the entire industry with Uncharted 2, they brought so many new people in with games like tlou because of the way the characters and stories are handled.
You can have your opinion but at least acknowledge the VISIBLE things.

[gravedigger]

Yeah, a cut-scene at 24 fps and what....1600p

Lets see the gameplay at 30fps

[Dissidia]

You're in for a treat.

[IRetrouk]

It was 1440p and 24 fps, it was realtime in engine stuff though, just like the original uncharted 4 announce video, users expecting the game to look like that need to watch the uncharted 4 announce video and then the final game....

https://www.videogamer.com/...

[gravedigger]

Hellblade 2 was a TARGET RENDER cut-scene, same like Uncharted 4

[IRetrouk]

That was my point👌

[anubusgold]

30 and 60 fps was bad in 2009. If i was just getting 60 fps in 2009 i would think what crap hardware did i just buy lol.

[RaiderNation]

"real time" is a very broad term. It's still just a cinematic, running at 24fps. Let's see what actual gameplay running at 30fps with enemy AI looks like. I still say the Unreal 5 demo was more impressive simply because that was a real time demo that was actually being played.

[Teflon02]

To be fair, alot of fighting etc in hellblade is like duels etc. So I believe they can pull of something atleast close to that

[Abnor_Mal]

Epic said that the trailer is running in real time, must have been paid by MS.

/s

Everything with a grain of salt when it comes from Epic now, hope it wasn't Tim Sweeney who said it.

/s

[King_Noctis]

If we didn’t have one particular article just a few while back about a particular console, we’d definitely get the usual “Epic is peid by M$” comment.

[mkis007]

It's a double standard and you know it.

[throne]

its amazing how quickly the hate disappeared coz epic was talking about an x box game, days ago their CEO was a shill...makes you think

[Abnor_Mal]

Things to make you go hm.

[MadLad]

Which company invested 250 million into Epic?

[King_Noctis]

@TheRealTed

Emmmm....Ouya?

[Yodasfavoritesoda]

Looks amazing!

[Bathyj]

I thought this game was UE4? A little weird to that epic is announcing this. They didn't make the game. But I guess it's just to showcase their engine.

[Dissidia]

It's Running UE5. Confirmed shortly after the PS5 event.

https://www.vg247.com/2020/...

[dumahim]

UE5 isn't out yet. The link you provided says they'll be using it, which doesn't mean it's being used currently.

[SierraGuy]

Your wrong again...

[DJStotty]

No, Hellblade 2 was confirmed shortly after UE5 tech reveal, that it is built using UE5, and also using the tech shown in the UE5 demo.

Most probably down to NDA, and they could not announce features before Epic themselves.

[IRetrouk]

That's not true. They said they would be using the engine, they didnt say anything about what was being used or not used other than the engine.

"The power of Xbox Series X was first demonstrated with the unveiling of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2. The team will be building the game on Unreal 5 and leveraging the power of Xbox Series X to bring the Hellblade franch ise to levels never before seen,” said Jason Ronald, Director of Program Management for Xbox Series X."

They will have started building in unreal 4 and transfer over when the new engine is ready, just like epic said every dev would have to do....

[DJStotty]

Prepare to be disappointed in your beliefs.

[Bathyj]

But how does it use an engine that's not out yet? Epic are updating unreal 4 most likely to have a lot of the features that unreal 5 will have. I'm guessing they're probably creating content and assets still in UE4 that they will Port over to UE5 when they get the engine proper. This obviously isn't going to be a launch title (not that everyone thought it was) because they can't launch a game on an engine that's not out till next year.

[Dissidia]

Yeah no one thought it'd be a launch title

[dumahim]

@Bathyj
There certainly was people in the comments talking about it being a launch title.

[DJStotty]

UE4.25 is the engine developers are using to create games that will use UE5.

The code etc will transfer directly to UE5. This is stated clearly on Epic's description and information about UE5 on their website. And i quote :

"Unreal Engine 4.25 already supports next-generation console platforms from Sony and Microsoft, and Epic is working closely with console manufacturers and dozens of game developers and publishers using Unreal Engine 4 to build next-gen games."

"We’re designing for forward compatibility, so you can get started with next-gen development now in UE4 and move your projects to UE5 when ready. "

[WeAreLegion]

Of course it was in-engine. It looked in-engine.

[SierraGuy]

Isn't everything "in engine"...come on now who cares about stupid cinematics...this isn't 1993 fmv.

[Dissidia]

No everything isn't "in-engine."

Take the new Far Cry 6 Trailer for example. Full CGI (a pre-rendered video)
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Compared to the Hellblade 2 Trailer which this article confirms to be running real time "in engine." (Using game assets of the engine, not just a pre rendered video.)
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Take the 2005 Killzone 2 Trailer also pre rendered footage of what they wanted to achieve in-engine.
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

There are countless other examples. Educate yourself, don't just comment for the sake of it.

[SierraGuy]

I think your confused...so its in engine using game assets...so a shittier looking cgi cutscene that you have absolutely no control over...great...wtf is the difference? Or the point?

Post all the YouTube clips you want pumpkin... cutscenes are cutscenes and break the gameplay immersion.

TF outta here trying to move the goalpost.

At the end of the day Returnal will mop the floor with Hellblade.

There's gameplay then there's cutscenes...fk everything else...gaming needs to do away with cutscenes regardless...it does nothing for gameplay.

[Dissidia]

You're wrong, SierraGirl.

Move the goal post? I'm speaking facts and you're crying, SierraGirl.

Returnal looks great and can mop the floor with Hellblade all you want it to. LOL

[IRetrouk]

Did uncharted 4 end up looking this good?

https://youtu.be/y1Rx-Bbht5...

That was an in engine video, confirmed by devs to be part of a level, running on a ps4, it was also running at 60fps, did uncharted 4 end up looking that good or run at that fps?

[mkis007]

Iretrouke

Checkmate to everyone is what you just posted. That was in engine on a ps4... Deathstranding cutscenes are in engine too https://youtu.be/xV0_sodCJq... Thats on ps4 at 1080p ...looks even better on pro at 1440p.

Hellblade 2 look just ok for a next gen in-engine trailer...nothing so far beyond what was done on ps4.

[Elda]

I want to see the facial expressions/graphics as the game is being played in real time action sequences. Hopefully this is shown next week.

[jbull]

Real time is a little vague, I want to see what it looks like proper running gameplay on the Xbox console not cutscenes, for example is it a corridor game, that will allow greater detail, or open world more resources needed like draw distance enemies on screen etc

[DrDeath]

You guys are all delirious

[SamTheGamer]

Cool.. But gameplay?

[Dissidia]

July 23.

[Wikkid666]

Not likely... it's still way early in development. Most likely a 2022 game.

[PrinceAli]

i mean if that's the case then why would it run at 24FPS and 75% of 4K....? and a STABLE 24FPS as well thats not a good thing by any stretch of the imagination... INCREDIBLE graphic fidelity though

[Dissidia]

The engine it's running on isn't even complete. Same Reason the UE5 nanite demo ran at 1440p 30fps. When the game actually comes out it won't be running at 24fps. Hope that answers your "why"

https://www.tweaktown.com/n...

The UE5 nanite demo was also revealed to only be using just under 800MB of ram. We don't know many of the details of the Hellblade trailer so relax.

https://wccftech.com/unreal...

[Vasto]

Thats the power of Series X. Still the best looking next gen visuals so far. Looks a generational leap above anything from PS5's conference and even looks better than the PS5 Unreal Engine 5 demo.

[Bathyj]

You're basing that off a cinematic?

[Vasto]

Ninja Theory is just in a league of their own. If somebody who did not know anything about Hellblade saw this they would think it was a movie it looks so good just like the Hellblade 2 trailer. This was on a indy budget and now they have the backing of Microsoft.

https://twitter.com/ReallyM...

[Bathyj]

They are very talented Devs for sure they make fantastic looking games. I'm just saying it's a bit early to call it the best looking visuals when it's a cinematic not gameplay. And likely running on a PC just like everything at the Xbox conference was.

[jbull]

Best cinematic, wait till we see proper running gameplay. I've no doubt Series X will produce graphically impressive games but I think too much faith is being put into Ninja Theory and Hell blade itself, remember the last game? It was decent but not a goty contender like FF7, Last of Us, Sekiro etc even with extra funding its hard for a developer to go make a full AAA game, it took Guerilla games a while to make a truly ground breaking system seller in Horizon.

[Dissidia]

I mean the topic really isn't about AAA or GOTY contenders though is it? It's about a game trailer being reconfirmed by the engine maker to be in-engine. I hear you but you're just kind of starting a different conversation.

All Vasto said was best visuals, not 10/10 or GOTY.

[Vasto]

Do not care about GOTY even though it did get some awards , GOTY and nominations. I have no idea why the Xbox reviews are higher than PS4 but Hellblade got a 88 Meta on Xbox which is higher than FF7 and even Ghost Of Toshima.

https://www.kotaku.co.uk/20...
https://www.pushsquare.com/...
https://checkpointorg.com/w...
https://stevivor.com/featur...
https://www.imdb.com/title/...

[jbull]

@Vasto noticed that, I think it released a year later on Xbox so maybe any glitches were sorted and thus got a better review.

[jbull]

@Dissidia in engine is still not gameplay, we've had enough E3's Conference's where "In Engine" footage is shown and then when proper gameplay is shown there is differences.

[RedDevils]

Funny Hellblade is a pretty boring game comparing to ff7.

[throne]

now that's some serious reaching....horizon says hello

[_dangerclose_]

The best looking highly controlled cinematic trailer graphics doesn't equal actual game graphics, you guys better temper expectations or the disappointment is going to be that much harder to deal with..

[mkis007]

https://youtu.be/1QvqRH-qv7...

Looks pretty close for being a ps4 game...in engine.

Then you have the Uncharted 4 Announcement vid that was also in engine on ps4.
HB2 in-engine reveal doesn't look much beyond those 2 ps4 game in-engine reveals. If you think they look a generation apart, then your next gen standards are not high enough.

[Bronxs15]

What’s amazing too is that it was made in a very early xsx dev kit. The dev kit and tolls have only become more flushed out and better. Xbox is killing it right now. (For me. I know this site has a lot of biased so y fans(that’s too bad) I’m a fan of both consoles and unbiased at that. I praise and criticize both when needed. They being said, for me Xbox is checking all the right boxes now. )

[olafu]

It doesn't say anywhere that it was on a console.

[rainslacker]

A game engine is not the same as a dev kit.

[YourMommySpoils]

Well yeah. Still waiting to be impressed.

[IRetrouk]

Just gonna leave this here...

https://n4g.com/news/152672...

This one too

https://n4g.com/news/163528...

some people seem to think in engine equals gameplay or what the game will actually look like, but that's just not the case, and it never has been, it's still gonna look impressive(just like uncharted 4) though.

[Minute Man 721]

@IRetrouk

We just have to wait n see.

When they 1st showed COD4 people claimed the game will never look like that while you are playing. The gameplay reveal proved them wrong

[IRetrouk]

I'm just being realistic man, we see this sort of thing all the time, from all devs, not just ms or sony, the games gonna look gorgeous regardless, ninja theory have some real talent, been a fan of most of their games so far

[Minute Man 721]

I don't believe the graphics of her facial expressions is representative of gameplay....
But the scene in the trailer with the people carrying torches "looks" like it could be from the actual game

[IRetrouk]

Some of it deffo looked like it could be, I think its gonna look great anyway though, the first was a real looker, cant see the second not being the same.

[_dangerclose_]

Some people have to learn the hard way.

[Bathyj]

Whoops. Wrong comment

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Graphics are the first truly next gen thing I've seen

[Zefros]

I am only getting ps5, but this game is gonna be great. The first one was amazing.

[GreatSako2020]

Real time as on Unreal Engine 4.25.
Nothing regarding the hatdware, it could be running on RTX TITAN

In the same video they were clear that nanite was running on PS5 though.

[TheHan]

Besides Halo: Infinite and Scorn, This is another highly anticipated video game release on my calendar, Though i’d love to hear about another Fable. Already 3-4 games I’m looking forward to before the Xbox Showcase Event. That demo was so gorgeous that I was blown away and sold on the demonstration.

[Smclaren1985]

I tried my hardest to like the first game, but I really didn’t enjoy it unfortunately . It was way too out there just couldn’t enjoy it. It was a work of art a kudos fir trying something new but no I was disappointed . The next game hopefully gives you a lot more freedom but they seem to be going in that same psychological direction just like the first. Impressive tech though I really think unreal will blow people away next gen

[3-4-5]

The lighting for Hellblade is what sold it....The lighting is the most realistic I've ever seen in a game.

[Zega]

XBX SX>>>>>>> >PS5 (At least in graphics)

[Limitedtimestruggle]

Yeah this game will look pretty good I believe! Looking forward to seeing this in action soon!

[Cmoney007]

A lot of gaming companies including MS: We love showing you more trailers than gameplay!

[2ndhandcorn]

Looks marvellous but i did not get into the last game , will try it though.

[Stevonidas]

I want to see the ACTUAL gameplay, not in-engine "footage representative of expected Xbox Series X gameplay."

[Wrex369]

Debuting on Game pass. Value. I'll keep saying it. I'll have a ps5 but Series X will be generationally impactful because of game pass.

[mkis007]

Ya and so was the original uncharted4 reveal... fact for me is deathstranding director cutscenes looked as good as the HB2 trailer snd that ran on ps4.

[Pyrofire95]

UE5 Baby~

[NobleRed]

24fps black bars realtime my ass.

[Einhander1971]

Facial animations look fantastic, but when your playing you just see the back of the characters anyway.

[shaenoide]

In Real Time but In Engine

[Imortus_san]

Hellblade 2 and Fight Sim are the only game sI saw that actually look next gen.

[vivid83]

So now epic games are legit huh?

[CrimsonWing69]

But I’m skeptical of that. How many times have we seen “in-engine” only to see a downgrade? What I want to hear isn’t “real-time” I want to hear that it’s the actual game/gameplay.

[Kakashi Hatake]

Difference from gameplay and real time. Close up of face singing =/=gameplay.
