Last night during The Game Awards, Phil Spencer unveiled Microsoft's next-gen flagship console Xbox Series X along with an in-engine glimpse at Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, developed by Ninja Theory. Screens and Youtube trailer inside.
nostradamus plese gayders, get that high quality Diablo IV real-time cutscene. And DiabloII to check the insane isometric tapestry filled w/ granular detail, if you may. (4 Days ago)
nostradamus @Melmoth: yep, demoscene gods. (4 Days ago)
nostradamus So freakin good [url] (1 Week ago)
nostradamus disregards the chock points of "skmirches", the traversel is pretty smooth. Higly recommended and a classic dying breed formula of pc action shooter. (1 Week ago)
nostradamus i'm enjoying Control immensely and for a late last-gen game, going by the Disgusting on-basis unacceptable performance of games/worlds, the base console performance is pretty much decent, if one (1 Week ago)

It gives the impression that current game developers are lazy, because if one individual can make something gorgeously stunning, why don't teams of hundreds to thousands of experienced game developers can't!?!
Because all this shit is only visuals and sounds, as soon as you start adding physics, interactible objects, NPCs, gameplay mechanics, etc., then the whole thing comes crashing down back to reality.
People forget that today's game engines do a whole lot better graphics than a lot of CG stuff from even 10 years ago, so the words "in-engine" should be taken to mean more like CG, which is almost what they are, then the potential gameplay experience one will have while actually playing the game.
Probably stupid rant, but still worth reminding some people that end up forgetting what "in-engine" means, it's just visuals without any substance. We're going to keep seeing and hearing the term a lot in the next years, which is fine as long as it's taken with the knowledge of what it is and that it does not represent what people will see when they play the game.
Good for Ninja Theory getting that AAA budget btw.
Seriously, though, this reveal was just weird, and a bit too low key. Almost as if most people just didn't give a fuck. I remember the reveal of the 360 and even the X1, despite the controversy of the decisions they made with that, it still garnered more attention and excitement. This was just "Oh, right, here's our new console! It looks like a cubed PC! And Here's a game on it! That's it. Goodnight!" Just an odd reveal and an odd time to drop it. I'm not saying that the console itself looks bad, because I like the design of it, actually, it's just that I couldn't care! It's not saying anything to me at all! I'm by no means a Sony fan, but I do like how they are just keeping everything so tight-lipped and their cards held firmly to their chest and doing things in their own time, and on their own terms. Add to the fact they've already stated their devotion to VR and how everything is backward compatible, that has sold me more on their new system more than this bland, vague reveal, and they haven't even shown a thing yet.

these Hellblade 2's visuals doesn't seem that far fetched. in my opinion.
i'm seeing some chromatic aberration in these screens too.
