Extremely Impressive Upcoming PS4 Game Not Enough People Are Talking About

"PlayStation has a huge catalog of upcoming exclusives for the PlayStation 4. From the ‘rebooted’ God of War, the incredibly mysterious Death Stranding, or the heavy hitting The Last of Us Part II — the AAA selection of PlayStation exclusive titles is almost overwhelming. However, there’s one game I feel like too many gamers are sleeping on." -- PlayStation Enthusiast

[yellowgerbil]

wild is the one I still really want to see. Am not as excited as originally was but still excited. Originally I thought it was skyrim if you played it through the perspective of a mountain goat... but what we are getting still looks really fun

[brettnll]

I'm surprised we haven't seen anything about Wild in so long. Or have we? I might have missed it

[morganfell]

No they have been quiet. It was though Michael Ancel would present something at PGW last year since the studio is located in France but they have been quiet. From some remarks he has made we do know he is at work on it, so hopefully we will be treated to info and a launch date.

[TheOttomatic91]

Most likely because Michael Ancel is working on Beyond Good & Evil 2 that was green light.

[Nu]

Sony is trying to let Microsoft catch up, only to push the acceleration leaving Microsoft in the dust.

*Microsoft looks at rearview mirror, sees Switch approaching*

[indyman7777]

Cause people are to busy playing Horizon Zero dawn. The good playing AND good looking game with a awesome story line.

[bouzebbal]

I honestly forgot about this game.
Looks amazing

[pinkcrocodile75]

Guys, I'm not being funny but after watching the video I'm not that bothered about the game.

YES, it looks gorgeous but the snips of actually gameplay don't look out of place in a dark souls game.

The cut scenes look amazing but that's all they are.

PS4 or Xbox One, I don't care but whilst the cuts scenes were gorgeous the game play snippets weren't THAT good, they were good but nothing that I haven't seen before.

[Ants909]

We will probably see something at E3

[starchild]

I've been watching all the dev diaries throughout development. I'm really looking forward to this game.

[Darkfist_Flames]

Hope we hear something about WILD at E3,

[freshslicepizza]

Looks good but could be overshadowed by Middle-Earth Shadow of War.

[DreadGara]

Translation:
Any exclusive game on PS4 can be shadowed by a multisystem games and most likely​ Xbox games.

[bluefox755]

Predictable Moldy :)

[morganfell]

Reality: Not always true. Several games that are platform exclusive to certain hardware have proved they can be the talk of the town.

[cartoonx1]

its multiplatform you know? its on microsoft PC, cant keep microsoft out of it.

[Hroach616]

Fanboy is fanboy-ing. I have and love both consoles. Why do you have to try and put one down? Do you have no friends? Do you get laid? Why do you care? I genuinely don't understand why you need to try and smack talk someone's preferred choice of console. I usually use my PS4 for games. But I have no issue with my X1.
Why don't you go find a girl who enjoys gaming on the opposite console you prefure. Then try getting laid while putting her console of choice down. Won't happen bud. You'll be singing PS4 praises anytime she's in ear shot after that first time. Why? Because console choice doesn't matter. People play on their prefurance. Stop perpetuating the stereotype of salty fanboy gamers and move along with your day.

[JackBNimble]

Cartoonx1
It will be on steam, last time I checked Valve wasn't owned by MS.

[ninsigma]

@cartoon
Microsoft doesn't make or own PC. They won't gain anything from a game being on PC unless they are involved in some way. A game being pc + ps4 instead of just ps4 will not benefit them in anyway because no one is gonna go out to buy windows just cuz of certain games. So yes they are out of it on this one.

[Kingthrash360]

Microsoft PC?????
Hahahahaaaaaaa!
Lord what has tho war come to.
Goal posts moved to fictional levels lol

[TorpeAlex]

Who said anything about XBox?

[cartoonx1]

@ninsigma - yes they do, you'll need microsoft windows to play it, have to purchase a license for windows. so microsoft wins without spending a peny on game's market/development. btw i dont game on console if that concern you lol.

[Imalwaysright]

I'ts not a PS4 exclusive.

[Goldby]

@cartoon

I didn't realize ms is waiting impatiently at the edge of the chair for when all those people who use Windows 7 or 8 from years ago to play this game.

Yes that was all part of the plan.

Either people have already upgraded or are refusing every attempt from Microsoft to auto update to Windows 10.

An os isn't making ms the money in this case. Specially when a lot of people hadn't pad for an is in a couple years

[ninsigma]

@cartoon
No one buys windows to play games they buy it to use a computer (or comes with an off the shelf product). This game will have no bearing what so ever on the sales of Windows. So it is the most ridiculous thing to try make out that MS will gain ANYTHING from this. It's the height of fanboyism. It's just sad.

[Goldby]

Good news it's releasing on PC. Hope you have your steam account ready mildly to support them and show that it isn't just the games releasing on all platforms that can make big strides.

[Razzer]

LOL. Best you can do?

[jznrpg]

I will be picking up this game before the "accesible" Shadows of War

[KwietStorm_BLM]

You're like those movies that come on Spike ALL the time at this point. The ones where you just don't care to watch for the 50th time, but they just keep showing up over and over and over again for absolutely no good reason.

[Liqu1d]

Saltybread at it again with his completely transparent stealth trolling.

[IGiveHugs2NakedWomen]

Oh, you didn't say that because Microsoft has marketing rights for Shadow of War right? You never do anything like that. Not you Moldy... Not you.
-_-

[BlakHavoc]

What on earth do this and Shadow of War have to do with eachother?

[AmUnRa]

Oo boy, just stop making a fool of your self Moldy, your agenda is so clear as water.

[trooper_]

Nope.

[Void000]

Why single out one game with so many potential sleepers at hand?

[Scatpants]

If you never singled anything out articles would all be general overviews.

[Void000]

Yes, but why this year out of so many to single out an IP. Almost every single game that came out this year has been a sleeper hit. Horizon, Nier, Nioh, Prey, Zelda, Persona 5 - I almost can't name a bad game.

[VannTheDawn]

Void000 do you even know what a sleeper hit means? It's games that sell well despite minimal media coverage. HZD, Zelda BotW and persona 5 are not sleepers,since they've been advertised heavily especially the first two.

[Void000]

Vann, point made on Zelda, but nobody knew HZD or Persona would be such big hits before their release. We expected good games, we got incredible. And both Nioh and Nier flew under a lot of radars.

[_-EDMIX-_]

? what?

What you are saying is why talk about 1 game, no where does this state its the only sleeper hit.

This article is just about this one game.

Relax. smh. Why on earth do some of you guys get so defensive?

[Void000]

No new info, just a rehash. Article is just hyped up clickbait.

[Nodoze]

Didn't this turn into a psychological puzzle game?

[brettnll]

A mix of that + action (gameplay looks similar to the Souls games)

I could be wrong though, I've never played a Souls game lol

[dragongod64]

Look interesting but remindeds me of dark souls and i never liked them, & there are so many great games coming out that i'll pass on this one. Good luck on sales

[brettnll]

I recommend watching the developer daries! Definitely got me interested.

[vikingland1]

I watched all of them with my surround sound turned up and it was fantastic. If they succeed in making it as good as ithe dev diaries descrbe then this game will be amazing.

[SirBradders]

I watched one or two and I came away with the impression the Dev is open and honest and are truly trying to create a new experience that hasn't been done before.

[Fist4achin]

I'm still looking forward to this. There is a lot heading our way, so it's a great time for gamers to be choosy.

[Razzer]

Is this game related to Heavenly Sword?

[brettnll]

No. It originally seemed that it was but Ninja Theory confirmed it was not.

[Razzer]

Hmmm.....ok. Obviously a play on heaven/hell and sword/blade which is why I asked. Looks damn cool either way.

[LexHazard79]

No, its not in anyway.

[MilkMan]

This game looks like your playing a nightmare or something. I'm interested in it and I hope it does well but based on what I've seen it looks too surreal for my tastes. I have no notion of how it plays, what it's supposed to be or what you are doing.
Looks more like a nightmare segment in other games extended into full game status. Not my cup of tea.

[Goldby]

You play a character who's living a nightmare. From ptsd and depression to hallucinations and psychosis

[MilkMan]

I REALLY need to see how this plays out. In my imagination, it doesn't seem appealing.
I could be wrong.

[brettnll]

I love how much the studio is focusing on the sound design

[Goldby]

@milkman.

Have a look through their developer diaries

[ReNe9aaDe]

I am never a fan of their gameplay always love the story plus setting. But gameplay the fast low impact hit vs slow high impact is a bummer. Even managed to ruin DMC arguably one of the best compat systems to date.

[DreadGara]

Not​ many people talked about Nioh when they showed it up and now it's really something and perhaps a year contender.

[bluefox755]

Agree. It seems like a very unique premise, that's punching way above it's budget.

[Mr-Dude]

Really looking forward to Hellblade

[Vizigoth04]

I'm rather interested in this title. I hope Sony advertises it well to the masses. Character development looks on par with Horizon Zero Dawn but gameplay more like Bloodborne. Getting it none the less. Need an update on this at E3.

[nbalive89]

Can't believe I didn't know about this game, looking like a day one buy for me

[brettnll]

Looks super good right!?

[nbalive89]

It looks awesome definitely be following this game till launch

[FernDiggidy]

When the fuck is thing coming out??? Been waiting

[brettnll]

I believed they confirmed sometime this year. And it was in PlayStation's indie compilation for 2017.

I could be wrong though.

[slappy508]

I've been hyped for this for a very long time

[showtimefolks]

games like these should release around summer so it's not competing with other AAA title

i still would like to see them do a sequel for enslaved

[Yui_Suzumiya]

They were supposed to do an Enslaved sequel years ago. Maybe after this it will finally happen.

[The_Sage]

This is high on my list and has been since I first heard about it a couple years ago.

[MadMax]

Had this game under my radar for awhile and it looks great! It's Ninja theory too! People need to keep a close eye on this one and spread the word about it.

[Veneno]

The title is a clever way of getting clicks. I never would have clicked on a article on this game.

[SCW1982]

Ninja Theory has yet to impress me.

[brettnll]

You should check out the development diaries for this game. They might impress you? Maybe?

[MadMax]

Really? Ever play Enslaved or Heavenly sword? Two of my most favorite games last gen. Especially Enslaved! Dig on that game.

[SCW1982]

I did play both of them and both left me luke warm, especially enslaved. I know I might get crucified for saying this but I think the strongest game they have made is DMC.

[Segata]

I played them as well. Combat was awful. NT makes technical showcases but they are dull to play.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Enslaved was phenomenal in every way!

[SCW1982]

I wanted to like it but I just couldn't. Had a really hard time playing it because it was a blurry jaggy mess.

[joethetimelord]

Too much of a Devil May Cry fanboy to be interested if I'm gonna be completely honest. Tameem committed a cardinal sin there and I'm just not ready to forgive it.

[Christopher]

Well, considering we still haven't seen gameplay... Just lots of acting.

[brettnll]

The video in this N4G post has a lot of gameplay

[Christopher]

It's a two minute video showing sporadic scenes edited together. I don't think you know what gameplay or 'a lot' mean. I will give you that it is the most we've seen of gameplay elements, though. But it only tells us she swings sword, nothing else on how we control, attack options, leveling up, etc.

[Godmars290]

Meh.

Looks like a better than decent fighting game, great in fact, but not all that interesting. To me anyway.

[theshredded]

Yep knew it would be Hellblade, an awesome demo and a release date announcement is what I expect at e3.

[The-rain-maker]

Is hellblade a exclusive to Sony?

[Gravesinger_]

Nope. Coming to PC as well

[brettnll]

Console exclusive

[_-EDMIX-_]

No. Its coming to PC.

Ninja Theory is self publishing this game.

Sony is not involved.

[_LarZen_]

This is not a PlayStation exclusive. It's coming to PC also.

[Gravesinger_]

Well....it is a PC game too. I'm just sayin'

[Einhander1971]

Another promising title on my radar, been following this for a while. Will be nice to see a lot more gameplay and a release date. Ninja theory are a talented team personally would love to have seen a new heavenly sword. That game was amazing character design and animations were incredible for an early release PS3 title. In my opinion heavenly sword could have gone on to greater things.

[ziggurcat]

I certainly hope this game ends up being good. I looks like it will.

[QUIMICOMORTAL]

That's very true! It's one of the disadvantages of being exclusive in a console with so much exclusives!

Were this on xbone, man look how excited they are for sea of thieves or how they pretended to be excited for recore!

[supersonicjerry]

I like the art style, but I was hoping for more of a hack and slash instead. the gameplay looks like it plays really similar to For Honor which is something I personally didn't want.

[SuperbVillain]

ehh looks mediocre

[rlow1]

Its the game I'm most excited for and I'm crossing my fingers that'll it will live up to billing. To paraphrase Gumps mama, Games are like a box of chocolate, you never know what your going to get. lol

[Drakul]

years after the announcement of hellblade, now the game and character looks very very generic.

[Segata]

Well it's Ninja Theory. Everything I played of theirs is pretty awful. Technically great but just not fun games.

[PigsR4Eating]

The game looks depressing to me and makes me not want to play it. I get that is a central theme for the game, regardless.......

[PistolsAtDawn]

There isn't a single PS game that people aren't talking enough about, quite the opposite in fact.

[KingofGambling]

I'm hoping for a physical copy release.

[jukins]

People were talking about it then it got delayed so only the hardcore are still talking about.

[joab777]

It just had a Game Informer front cover! I just love how they are attempting to make a AAA game in a semi-Indie budget using uniqueness methods, and funding it themselves. Cant wait for another superb story centric game, especially considering its themes centered around mental illness.

[_-EDMIX-_]

Well they are not "trying" they are.

I think they are trying to show that AAA has noting to really do with just budget. This same team made Enslaved and Heavenly Sword.

You are still talking about a team that has made quality AAA games.

Did CDPR not make Witcher 3, AAA independent game?

If Rockstar left Take Two and went completely independent, them making a open world crime game wouldn't be AAA?

I think folks need to really understand that PEOPLE make games, some developers are better then others yes, but PEOPLE make games. Those same people can make a quality game all on their own, no different then other big funded developers.

Look at Star Citizen, its a AAA MMO RPG, fully made and funded independently by fans.

[joab777]

What are you talking about? I know what games they made. They don't own those IPs, so they went back to the drawing board with this game. It has been very difficult for them because they do not have the money to make a AAA budget game, like TW3, and especially like Star Citizen. So they have worked really, really hard to tell an amazing story of the AAA quality on a much smaller budget. They have had to develop new techniques and methods, and have had to make some concessions, bit are hoping they can be an inspiration for others.

My hat goes off to them. Of course they are talented, but this has allowed them to own the IP also. Though this comes at a HUGE risk to their own financial well being.

I can't wait for the game. But my statement had nothing to do with questioning their ability.

[Mr Marvel]

Doesn't help that the main chick has a face like a dropped pie.

Man, why did they make her so bug-eyed and butt ugly?

[Yui_Suzumiya]

I think she's hot

[MagicBeanz]

But as we all know this game will only be fun if its 4k and 60fps, anything lower and it just cant be enjoyed.

[Inzo]

If this plays anything like Heavenly Sword you can count me in. Day 1

[objdadon]

Why am i just seeing this? Lol, i swear PlayStation has more games than i can keep up with😂

[Platformgamer]

Also wild and matterfall

[Hardiman]

I'm not only interested and impressed with Hellblade as game in and of itself but with the way Ninja Theory is developing it.

[rezzah]

I was aware of this game since they first announced it, it'll be the first game I ever buy from Ninja Theory.

[Hardiman]

That's cool and I've played a few games they have developed like Heavenly Sword, Enslaved Odyssey to the West and the DMC reboot. I really enjoyed the ones I played and have fond memories of Enslaved!

[irishyort]

looks repetitive as it gets, swing sword - dodge - swing sword. Button mashers are for kids! Pity there isnt't more to the demo other than ordinarily basic sword play

[chris235]

usually every game that "looks extremely impressive" in the pre-alpha-phases that people were talking about to no end turned out to be a turd on a stick.

[trooper_]

Yeah, I heard about this game. Looks very interesting from what I've seen.

[ShoryuSwordsman]

Another one under the radar that I haven't heard anything about since the trailer drop, Lost Soul Aside, is on my radar. We haven't heard a lick about that game since that kid decided to work with Sony. Hoping this past year bore some fruit, and hopefully we'll be able to see something about it.
