Official Thread Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 (Xbox SX/PC) May 21, 2024

I wonder if JinCa ever questions Sony developers like that?

Dude, God of War has QTEs, but it also has very fun gameplay. I wouldn't lump that in there...
Yup, and I thought Hellblade had fun game play too, even though it was also "walking" as well. A game can have both actual game play and interactive game play like scenarios.

Started playing the original game. I'm using Resolution mode on the XSX version as DF suggested. Nice looking cinematic presentation and use of audio, but I'm not enjoying the game play at the moment. I"m around 3 hours in, and I'm already growing very tired of both the puzzles and combat. I was hoping to power through the game quickly as I've heard it's fairly short, but I may have to play it in very small doses so I don't burn out on it.

The game is not that impressive looking. I mean in that last video, the giant didn't even react to the spears being thrown at it.

If someone was throwing toothpicks at you, what would you do? React by running? Crying? Twitching? Laughing? Grab one and get last night's meal out of your teeth?

It's a GAME!

:hehe: :grin:

With the power of engines like UE5 & affordable dev tools like blender and Painter, top-quality work isn't just for the rich studios anymore.

Well-known game engines used to charge like 100K per year or something. Tools like Maya, 3d painting software Mari was 4 even 5 figures per station.

High-end game assets used to be expensive. Now you can get a high-quality 3D scan FREE if you use UE5. In fact UE5 is free to use as well (they only charge you if you make money, yes, if you make money aka profit). So is a blender. Every game development tool that are expensive, or were, has cheaper, or free alternative that is almost if not as good. Davinci (free) can replace Adobe premiere, Affinity photo can replace photoshop.

Fivver & other service providers also provide contracted talents for low cost. You can work mostly from home now.

Labor remains the biggest cost though.
