Anyone else not blown away with graphics these days? Me neither

There are different games. Some have gamplay at it highest priority, some have the story, some have the replay value and choices... There are a lot of different game experiences.

It is laughable that just now graphics does not have anything to do with that experiene. We have had many games of that type over time. This is just the one that have come closest to feel like playing an actual movie. Just look the the Digital foundry walkthrough it is a masterpiece in that perspective and hence wrth trying. But yes do not do it for the gameplay - but that was never the goal of this experience.

Of course Christopher would submit this lol.

PS fanboys like Christopher for years: “OMG visuals!”
Xbox releases a game with better visuals than any Sony game: “visuals don’t matter!”

Giga_Gaia4h ago

Not better than any Sony games. Hellblade 2 visuals aren't really impressive and anything we haven't seen. Plus everything else about the game is shit. Wouldn't be different if it was multiplatform.

MyDripMyDripO4h ago

No Sony game looks as good as HB2. Not even close

DivineHand1251h ago

You sound like you have first-hand experience with playing the game. Also, I have to ask, what games have already been released are graphically superior to Hellblade 2?

Also, let me know what game on PS5 has graphics comparable or is even better than Hellblade 2?

The hate that this game has garnered is getting ridiculous at this point. Most of it is from people who haven't even booted up the game. These developers spent years of their time making the game but just because it is exclusive to Xbox, almost the entire gaming community is going out of their way to discourage people from even trying the game. Stop worshipping these pieces of plastic.

You mist be late to the party.
Christopher submits most VideoGamer articles... because N4G is owned by VideoGamer...

Nevermind alt...

MyDripMyDripO4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

And 100% of those articles just happen to be negative Xbox and positive PlayStation 😂😂

Remember when we had 1 approved article for PS layoffs and 100 approved duplicate articles for Xbox layoffs?

😂😂

BehindTheRows1h ago

Yeah, waste of time arguing with them. Always that one alt to ruin the fun. :P

Anyway, graphics can still blow us away, but I'm not blown away by Hellblade either as I play. While the game does have industry-leading moments, it's not a complete shutout. Look at textures up close, for example. Or the water.

@obcurednewaccount: “Of course Christopher would submit this lol.”
You don’t learn do you expect to be closed soon 🤦🏿🤣
The graphics in the industry are getting less shocking than 10-15 years ago but now and then we get games that look great like like this new game from ninja theory.

This person "MyDrip" is more likely the person you say it really is. One thing that stands out in "MyDrip" reply to you is that they always start their replies with what you wrote in your initial comment. They love to repeat what you wrote, again it's probably exactly who you say it is.

Nothing to see here in the above comment but another alt account splooging over a glorified photo mode.

MyDripMyDripO3h ago

PS fans love a good photo mode though, no?

Or did that goalpost move now that an Xbox game looks better?

Elda3h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Imo Stellar Blade looks way better than the bland & drab Hellblade 2 & the gameplay in Stellar Blade is top notch, immensely fun than Hellblade 2. Hellblade 2 can't even do 4k/60fps on the XBSX...lol! Horizon Forbidden West graphics look way better than Hellblade 2 as well.

MyDripMyDripO3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Of course a PS fanboy would say that though.

And SB is made for weebs who jack it in their parents basement

''Horizon Forbidden West graphics look way better than Hellblade 2 as well.''
Not to mention it's a 60fps game and on top of that a big open world with lots of things going all at once. ;)

@MyDrip The pot calling the kettle black. You're clearly an XB fangirl. Praising a boring game that looks drab & bland when it comes to colors nor can the game that is mostly just walking can't even run at 4k/60fps on the XBSX...lol! That's pitiful & pathetic.

MyDripMyDripO2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

It’s 0k0fps on PlayStation 😂😂.

Its unfortunate the PS studios don’t develop games anymore

I personally don't like photo mode in any games. Don't use it, don't need it. This turd game used all 12 tErAFlOps of the Series X for each on-rail diorama scene with no substance and still cant do 60fps. I've seen older games look better on PC. Meanwhile your Xbox is hotter than your mom's bed.

Activision’s new Elsewhere Entertainment studio is working on a new IP

Headquartered in Poland, Elsewhere Entertainment — an all-new internal studio at Activision — is working on a new “narrative-based and genre-defining AAA franchise.” Elsewhere includes developers credited on The Last of Us, Uncharted, Destiny, Cyberpunk, and more. Activision’s new studio announcement comes just a week after its parent company, Microsoft, closed three Bethesda studios. It also follows job postings about a new Activision IP.

The game industry confuses, closing down proven studios only open a new studio?

ThinkThink8d ago

It would certainly be strange if this news came from Bethesda, but Activision is its on monster.

Eonjay8d ago

To be fair, many Activision employees lost their jobs too during the the last few months. So it really is quite odd to see them opening another studio. All I can say is they better not do another mass layoff anytime soon or its just gonna piss everyone off. Studio description reminds me of The Initiative. The only saving grace is that they aren't claiming to be making a AAAA game lol. I guess we will check back in in 5 years to see how everything is going.

Gotta break some eggs to make an omelet.

romulus238d ago

Tango Gameworks was the omelet, so that statement fails on the face of it.

InUrFoxHole7d ago

Really? What special games did they make 🤔

romulus237d ago

@InUrFoxHole

Well, xbox was pretty adamant that Hi-Fi Rush was special, journalist and gamers seemed to agree and from my own personal experience I would say it was a great game. They also made Ghostwire: Tokyo, and the Evil Within series.

thesoftware7307d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Yeah, then the head/lead of the company left...

No hope for a good Evil within game, ghost wire was not really successful,and HI-FI alone was not enough to keep an entire studio open.

Eonjay7d ago

@thesoftware730

I think the fact that this 'wasn't enough' is a problem wouldn't you concede?

romulus237d ago

Hi-Fi Rush was a great game regardless of who left and according to Aaron Greenberg,

"Hi-Fi RUSH was a break out hit for us and our players in all key measurements and expectations. We couldn’t be happier with what the team at Tango Gameworks delivered with this surprise release."

So of course they rewarded the team for their accomplishment by firing them. They have studios that have contributed much less that they haven't closed. It is going to be very difficult for any game to be successful when it goes straight to gamepass day one.

Einhander19728d ago (Edited 8d ago )

I think this is just a publicity stunt and that this studio never actually produces a game. Someone at Microsoft was like were getting cooked in the media after they closed these studios and they came up with a plan to create some dummy studio someplace outside of the reach of the English speaking presses reach to distract people.

"Oh hey we're not closing studios we're actually creating studios"

And of course what are they working on... the type of game that gets the most popular public perception a narrative driven story based game... ya know not the thing Activision and Microsoft are known for.

They hired a bunch of people and opened a new studio for a publicity stunt?

Yea, they hired people... Who? "Oh, you know, people..." people who worked on TLOU Uncharted and Destiny of course...

It's the same crap they did with The Initiative where they were under fire for buying a bunch of studios and not forming anything except even more sketchy this time. Of course the The Initiative was formed with people mostly poached from PlayStation specifically Naughty Dog, then less than 12 months later almost everyone was back at Sony and The Initiative was rumored to have lost 80% of it's staff and the game they were working on was announced to actually be getting developed by Crystal Dynamics.

Noskypeno8d ago

The way we need to look at these buzzwords is the same that we see when a sports team brings in the best athletes in their position in hopes to bring them to look like a superteam, only to barely win half of their games or lose in the first round of the playoffs. Sometimes superteams work, but when it doesn't it just makes you question how they can't take advantage of their abilities.

Two Decades Later, the Original Splinter Cell is Still a Masterpiece

They don't make games like this anymore.

Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.

Jingsing8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

Agreed with those sentiments. The quality of the CPU controlled characters make or break a stealth game and they are pretty poor in all the Splinter Cell games by today's standard. This is what led me to playing Spies vs Mercs all the time in later games just to get a better stealth experience from a real person. Arguably Sony are making better stealth games albeit not Tom Clancy stuff.

TheProfessional8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

You should stick with fortnite or one of the countless bloodborne style games then. What a joke.

rlow18d ago

I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.

vgvill8d ago

They are making a remake, I think. I loved the original game when it was released, but I tried to play it again in recent years and just couldn't get on with it. The same with the older Hitman games.

PrecursorOrb8d ago

Yeah chaos theory still holds up though I gotta say. If you’re a fan of the series I highly suggest you go back to that one. Ubi has said they are remaking sc for “modern audiences”. I don’t have a lot of faith for the future of that company

Chocoburger7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.

Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!
