Where's The Excitement For Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2?!?

[@fffx2]

Almost no one played the first game. It was super niche to start with.

[@airforcex9412]

6 million people played it…😂

False.

The 30fps frame rate definitely hurt my hype for this game.

[@simomartins6017]

From a side: 30 fps( i remember you its a console, not a 3000$ pc) Other side: deepest story, AWESOME performance by melina, art style and audio are at top level, all the combat is capturated with over 72 hours in camera( and no combo build in computer) , every aspect of the game is to focus on senua's journey And what do you think in the most: 30 fps, ok.

[@savagecabbage6119]

Hype is a double edged sword. Look at Fallout 76, Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man's Sky. All of them had major hype behind them, because gamers had a bloated image of what game they were about to play, due to unfulfilled promisses and false advertisements. At least Ninja Theory is transparant on this upcoming release.

I quite like that Ninja Theory's big pre-launch event was about psychosis and how it is portrayed in their games. This is their passion project so I really don't mind that it's all fairly lowkey, like the original - dev diaries were the main marketing for it, rather than weeks (or months) of trying to pretend a pretty niche game is the latest AAA standard bearer for a console. I'm a PC gamer though so my excitement to play has survived seeing the specs.

[@QuackOfWar]

Lock in 30FPS for cinematic reason is bs,let player choose how they want to play their game or just admit they needed more time n 60fps will be available in the future, Bethesda said Starfield is lock in 30fps cuz it's crucial for the game to run properly n now they're releasing a 60fps update soon, Xbox's game dev has a habit being being inconsistent in their statement n when this game eventually comes to Playstation they're gonna has 60fps mode

[@emptycan666]

Im hyped! Im playing the first one again right now! Youre right though im surprised there hasnt been more people talking about it One of xbox's biggest problem is they barely advertise anymore. I work in a bar with a dozen plus TVs set to all different channels, i see PS ads all the time, ive seen Halo TV shoe ads, and Fallout TV show ads, but ZERO game ads in a long time

[@chillwill7]

Can anyone explain to me why 30fps is such a big deal? Cuz to me, it just seems like a trendy nitpick. We've been playing 30fps for years and years. 60 isn't the standard, yet.

[@fffx2]

Nice comment from 2013. Almost every game runs at 60 FPS, that's why the games that don't go out of their way to specify it

[@JohnDoe-hm9mi]

If you have an OLED 120Hz tv 30fps is almost unplayable. Stuttering is exacerbated, almost to the point of being nauseating. It is better with VRR enabled or if using an LED panel, but with OLED 30fps feels almost like 15fps.

[@joshuaknox2724]

[@nayyarrashid4661]

30fps suits it even more since it more cinematic and movie like experience. 30fps is the last thing hurting this game

Hopefully it kicks up closer to release. Feels like they are holding things close to the chest and dont want to spoil anything. They messed up by not making a collectors edition with a figure of senua

[@leighncsontos]

The original was one of the most powerful emotional experiences I’ve ever had. But I can’t justify the expense of buying an Xbox for this one game, which will then sit idle for months on end after completion. There’s a large part of me that hopes this game will go beyond Xbox exclusivity. But, I think it would have to perform badly for that to be the case. Which is not something I’d wish upon the creators involved. Layoffs and closures are rife at the moment.

[@DigitalDaniel25]

The problem is you are expecting xbox to market this game like PlayStation would. PlayStation would spend millions to market this game. Xbox? They would just post a tweet saying "hellblade 2 hits gamepass may 26" thats it, and thats the problem. Plus it being only 30fps and like what? 7-8 hours? What a complete joke, just like the company publishing it.

Stellar Blade happened. With that setting records, all the controversy, hatred from DEI where Microsoft signed on to it banning attractive females and all the agenda pushing- Kabrutus has placed Microsoft on their list and as result so many just blacklisted it. For me, Xbox fanboys mock us on PS but were bragging about Hellblade 2 yet the game itself? It just is so meh sorry. 1v1 every fight, Eve in contrast is swamped easily and has to use timed defense from parries to dodges to using her skills... Eve has dominated the news and discussions for good or ill whilst Hellblade 2 is only discussed in disappointment- that's why you've seen zero hype for it

There is no Hype. The biggest rip off out of any game I've seen recently. $60 for 6 hours worth of gameplay GTFO. There's no way it's going to be game of the year. Won't even get nominated

[@Cheddar_96]

First off there is hype, especially for the people that love the first game. Second off the game isn’t 60 it’s 50 so not even full price. Third the game will be at least 8 hours long. And fourth it’s on gamepass so if paying 50 for a 8 hour game makes you cry then just pay for one month of gamepass for 15 bucks and play it and be done.
