Parris is killing it on STAGE. Happy for him

 

[CrustyBritches]

The FH5 creator lab will be awesome. Gives me hardcore Rush 2049 vibes.

*edit* Premium bundle purchasers and Game Pass subscribers who buy the premium add-ons will get early access.

 

[AJUMP23]

FORZA H5 looks great.


One thing developers are very afraid of is being cancelled. Make sure we tell you how we used authentic Mexican people for a game in Mexico. Which it makes sense to do those things for your game, but people are super sensitive about it in the world right now and they go out of their way to approve their authenticity.

 

[Saucy Papi]

So it looks like Forza Horizon 5 isn't just coming to the Series consoles.

... no. It's a huge bonus point to talk about that authenticity without any worry about "cancellation"..

Took you until today to find that out?

 

[eastcoastkody]

i luv a montage

 

[Kagey K]

I didn't like the first game, but I'm interested in seeing what they do to improve the second.

 

[Elder Legend]

The soundtrack for hellblade 2 is off the hook

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Dude, they just dropped Hellblade 2 out of nowhere!!!!!!!!!

It looks amazing wow!

 

[CrustyBritches]

Hopefully we'll get a 4K version of the Hellblade II segment. Looks like there's some gameplay and cutscene footage in there.

 

[reksveks]

I love that random arse montage, is someone going to do a frame by frame breakdown.

I also do like design lab but I have 4 controllers in a 1 bed flat.

 

[Papacheeks]

Not a gameplay, or in-Engine trailer. Just snipets of video strung together from bits that look like possible cinematics from the game. Also there's real footage mixed in there as well.

 

[Desless1]

Hellblade 2 Will be awesome, those Unreal 5 shots.

 

[PuffyCan]

Hellblade 2 looked amazing, but did I hear correctly that they were just starting production?

 

[AJUMP23]

... no. It's a huge bonus point to talk about that authenticity without any worry about "cancellation"..

The only thing I would say is't with the other games they didn't emphasize how many Ausies, or Brits or Europeans they employed for the other games.

 

[eastcoastkody]

he paid extra to roast his friend lol

 

[Papacheeks]

Hellblade 2 looked amazing, but did I hear correctly that they were just starting production?

I mean they just switched over to Unreal 5 not too long ago. SO......

 

[Elder Legend]

I mean they just switched over to Unreal 5 not too long ago. SO......

It's not only that. It's also the simple fact that sending a team over to Iceland was impossible to do what the world was going through the last year and a half. I think they deserve to get some cut slack, I believe they switched to UE5 last year, not this year. Actually, they might of been using it since day 1, but I know they confirmed it usage of UE5 when it was announced last year in May.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Yes, the fuck there was. Wow. It looks so nuts. There was definitely in-game stuff and real cutscene stuff.

 

[eastcoastkody]

messing around with the design lab. They need more colors. They don't even have a Halo green

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

I have no expectations for Hellblades II release date. Take their time. Hellblade one was one of the best games to drop last gen with a indie budget. II will be superb.

 

[reksveks]

I suspect that Microsoft and NT would have had access to alpha and beta well ahead of time so they should have built out some of the work flow ahead of time

Or I might just be rationalising a 2023 release date

 

[CrustyBritches]

August 25th is right around the corner. Psychonauts 2 will be awesome, and we get it on GP day 1.

 

[AJUMP23]

Anacrusis looks like a fun game to play with friends.

 

[Kagey K]

This scaling sounds very similar to the Director in Left 4 Dead.

Here:

Ninja Theory is using Unreal Engine 5 for Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II

Unreal Engine 5 powers the next-gen Senua's Saga: Hellblade II sequel on Xbox Series X. Microsoft revealed this in a blog post today on its website.

venturebeat.com

This was just last year, the reveal trailer if I remember was on Unreal 4. SO it wasn't super bad for them to roll it over into Unreal 5 from what the article talks about. But from what we know they are still years away. Got to remember they are a small team working on hellblade, and also have other projects that use the same actress and mo-cap studio.

They have a lot on their table at the moment. So yea 2023 we might see close to final game or even possible release.

 

[reksveks]

Hellblade 2 looked amazing, but did I hear correctly that they were just starting production?

I think they are building out one section first but they didn't say how far they were.

I would probably say h2 2023 for this game.

Is Melina confirmed to be in Project Mara? Might have missed that

 

[JLB]

Parris is so good. Makes interview fast and accesible.

 

[CrustyBritches]

Hellblade II seems like a 2023 release from the way they talk about it and what they've shown.

 

[Papacheeks]

Is Melina confirmed to be in Project Mara? Might have missed that

Yea, pretty sure it's the same actress.

Melina Juergens

Upon its reveal, the game received a terrifying teaser trailer which appears to feature award-winning Hellblade actor Melina Juergens in the titular role as Mara.Feb 24, 2021

 

[eastcoastkody]

Stalker looking great tbh

 

[SirTerry-T]

God bless you Tim Schafer...looking forward to that AUGUTST release date!

 

[elliot5]

Damn now I need to play A Plague Tale. It's been on my drive since I got my XSX. July 6th!

 

[reksveks]

Ohh, I hope that Plague Tale update comes to pc if it has new assets

 

[ManaByte]

Hope it has 60fps.

 

[CrustyBritches]

Plague Tale Innocence get X|S 4K enhanced version July 6th.

 

[Desless1]

Haven't played the Plague Tale game yet, so happy to get my first play with optimized version coming now.

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

Parris is so good. Makes interview fast and accesible.

Best part is he doesn't come off as "playing a role" like you get when Greg Miller does a show. He's chill af but keeps you interested. Man's a natural.

 

[elliot5]

Hope it has 60fps.

Plague Tale? It's 4k 60 on XSX per the trailer

 

[SenjutsuSage]

I'm so excited for Plague Tale, super excited for Psychonauts 2. Damn, I'm so excited about Xbox as a platform right now. Everything is so pitch perfect.

 

[reksveks]

Yea, pretty sure it's the same actress.

Cheers. I really like her but not yet decided if I am very happy with NT using the same actress three games in a row.

I might just be wanting to see NT with one of the AAA voice actors.
