Probably no actual gameplay but still excited as hell. One of my most anticipated Xbox games alongside Fable.

"One of my most anticipated Xbox games alongside Fable."

Yeah! Mine too. I heard that they shift the development towards UE5.

I don´t care if they don´t show actual gameplay today. I just want this game to be as good as possible.

RaidenBlack1067d ago (Edited 1067d ago )

They should've went ahead with the development utilizing their highly customized UE4.2 and release the game sooner. It was bound to look pretty good.
And then start work on their next project using UE5 from ground up.
Senua I was already a pretty good looking game.
UE4 to UE5 transition for a large game with extra dev customization will take time and then there's also time required for optimizations and further bug fixing and QA testing.

I think it will be gameplay, we saw a full trailer last year.

Will either be some in-engine gameplay, or a gameplay trailer

F0XH0UND9221067d ago

Just watched it. There's actually no gameplay whatsoever.

DJStotty1066d ago

I watched it too, glad you tuned in.

Disappointing there was no gameplay, but nonetheless still showed a few snippets of in-game action which could be representative of the final product.

Still looks good though, exciting times :p

darthv721067d ago

It wasnt game play but more a montage of wire frame and live action and the stuff thats going into making the game currently.

All of the games will have a presentation similar to how FH5 was shown so there will be a mix between some gameplay and discussion on mechanics. Not quite "deep dive" territory ala State of Play but think bitesize versions of this.

SullysCigar1067d ago

Great, but how is this news when IGN told us on N4G 3 days ago?

gamer78041067d ago

This talks about showing footage of the game where the previous mentioned only conversations with devs.

Not sure why the disagrees because clearly it's visually a fantastic looking game. I'd be interested to know what better looking games from 2024 the people who disagreed think look better.

PrinceOfAnger21h ago

I'm interested too, what game looks better this year ?, but we all know who are these people , cleary the ones who don't have the game day one on their favorite platform.

PrinceOfAnger15h ago

@Cacabunga

Lol CGi ?
you need to wait for the full analysis from digital foundry.

Cockney13h ago(Edited 13h ago)

@PrinceOfAnger
You asked a question some agreed some didn't then you ridiculed those that disagreed
why go full fanboy?
That is kinda flaky, I'd suggest maybe seeing some gameplay before jumping the gun, we are all waiting to see what digital foundry say

Abear219h ago

Nobody believes Xbox hype because they burned so many people with Halo, Starfield, and Redfall.

Hard to tell from a monster PC screenshot, but yeah, it will likely be the best looking console game when it launches.

I mean best looking game of all time so far imho...that said, that is all that we know. It's a set goal that is easy to achieve if you are not getting bogged down in physics, ai, and other power hungry operations. Most dev's have more they are going for then just the best graphics. Also this is one of the first true Unreal Engine 5 games that is pushing the said graphics aspect. UE always looks damn good for each iteration.

I want to see what the face idle animations look like.

Profchaos18h ago

Quite possibly I can't think of anything else that came out this year with a high level of Fidelio like this

Zeref15h ago

It's a new graphical benchmark

Huey_My_D_Long12h ago

Honestly, I agree, just wished MS would have marketed this more. Ill try to pick it up on PC if I have the extra cash.

gleepot12h ago

I definitely think you'll be hard pressed to find a bigger visual marvel than hellblade 2 for a while, regardless of how it ends up being game-wise.

InUrFoxHole10h ago

Yes but I hope the story is good

Makersbreath210h ago

After watchdogs, I’ve been overly cautious of hyping myself up for how a game looks until I get it in my hands.

The game is gorgeous there's no denying that.

Sonic188121h ago(Edited 20h ago)

I should be able to get 4K 60fps in medium to high settings on my RTX 4080. I noticed they mentioned the rtx 4090 in the article

Rynxie5h ago

Will my Nvidia 980 be able to play it on high?

Sonic18814h ago(Edited 4h ago)

@Rynxie

What about the FPS? Trying to get it in 60fps. Hopefully it doesn't turn out like Dragon's Dogma 2

andy859h ago

I'd rather go ultra and 1440 tbh. 4K is massively overrated unless you play on a huge TV

Sonic18818h ago(Edited 8h ago)

I'll be playing it on my LG G3 Oled 55 inch TV. I was going to use DLSS 3.0. As long as I can get a stable 60fps is really all that matters to me

FACTUAL evidence20h ago

Looks good, but don’t know if it’s actual in game graphics. We’ll find out soon enough.

romulus2320h ago

Safe to say the majority of those shots are cut scenes not actual game play and that last shot of the face is absolutely a cut scene, I wish we had in game graphics like that when you're actually playing but we are no where near that level yet. Still it's very impressive looking.

Lightning7710h ago

It's all real time, no cut aways. This is UE5 game so it's all seemless.

The consoles are more than capable of doing it like Alan Wake 2 or even Last Of Us 2 on last gen PS4.

romulus238h ago

@Lighning77

LOL, nah. There's a difference between in engine and in game while you are actually physically playing and controlling the character. I'm not saying the game doesn't look good in fact I've said the very opposite but people need to be realistic, there's going to be a lot of cut scenes in the game just like God of War or Uncharted where the game will look way better in those cinematic non playable cut scenes than actual game play. There's no way that last face shot image is game play, that is a cinematic in engine cut scene, you can disagree if you like but that's what it is..

Lightning777h ago

It's all the same even during story elements. That's pretty much what they've been touting this whole time. DF will break it down so we'll have to wait and see.

PrinceOfAnger18h ago(Edited 17h ago)

If you played the first game you will know this is all real-time in game.

purple10116h ago

the lockdown was not kind to senua, just like Alloy from horizon, she's put on about 15lbs

Psychonaut8511h ago

I may be wrong but I’m pretty sure that’s a different character, not Senua.

All the research put into this game is amazing. Unfortunately, it won't sell well.
