I don't think Hellblades performance capture tools were that expensive. In fact I think the good thing about them was that they were cheap. MS will likely make back the investment easily because they will use a steady flow of games like this to stop people from unsubscribing from gamepass.

Yeah, I could just dig out my copy of Anarchy Reigns.
I honestly wanted something more from them.

Surely AR's multiplayer is dead these days though? I found out about it way after the fact so never actually got a copy, but always wanted to try it.
I'll admit that this wasn't what I was expecting from NT given their history of single-player stuff.
I'm pretty certain this was in development before MS acquired them. Give it a break, jeez!

I’m almost certain it has an offline mode. I haven’t booted it up in years.

AR has a single player mode.
Agreed. This looks generic beyond generic, designed for Gamepass.

Go Go Neo Rangers!
This argument is beyond stupid.

They probably have one (or more) single player game in development but you're not going to see it before E3 2020.

Not my kind of game AT ALL, but this was supposedly indevelopment long before Microsoft bought them. In fact i remember on the Hellblade Steam forums, one of the devs said their next game was a 'next gen online melee game', or something to that effetc, and that was months before Microsoft bought them.
In fact i'll see if i can find it now.
EDIT. Cant find the source of the quote, but this is what was posted, 4 months before Microsoft bought them -
Next game in developement? Ninja Theory :: Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice General Discussions
Do you know anything about Ninja Theory's next Project? Any rumors?
Words of Ninja Theory:
"[...] We are aiming to set the bar for next-generation melee action

Just to put some peoples concern trol....minds at ease, this is an interview from 2 months before Microsoft bought them -
www.pcgamer.com
"This year, I think we'll start showing some new stuff," Antoniades tells me. "We have 100 people...working on a mix of projects on different sizes and different themes. Some in VR, some in traditional. It's quite a good mix actually." I ask if the success of Hellblade means Antoniades feels any pressure to explore serious subjects in Ninja Theory's next game. "I think that's more down to my own personal interest. We've got other projects on the go, led by different team members who have their own personal slant on what they want to do, and they're not serious subjects, they are much more fun, traditional games if you like.

I think they are hoping this will fill a smash bros sized hole for xbox
People acting like a melee based hack and slash pvp game isn't dope as hell are fucking nuts.
Except this game was in development for years. i'ts like Kamiya coming out and saying MS wasn't at fault for Scalebound wasn't enough.

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
There is just so many multiplayer games nowadays, that a new entry has to be incredibly special to succeed. I didn’t see anything that looked promising there.

MS : We're buying studios so more games for the fans
Xbox fans : Oh hell yeah Ninja Theory was a good buy can't wait for their SP game, The Initiative will match Naughty Dog quality SP games!
Sony fans : Ninja Theory is mediocre, bad buy for MS
Bleeding Edge : Leaked video
Xbox fans : Oh hell yeah this is what we wanted, looks fucking awesome, can't wait Day 1!!! *Pretends to ignore no SP story mode*
Sony fans : Looks bad, so much for buying NT, lol

Looks like another lawbreakers, battleborn or agents of mayhem. Meaning, dead on arrival.
Don't find it all that appealing. Then again majority of their games are just okay imo.

Glad you felt the need to post and leave the thread, no one cares about your opinion. We have seen zero gameplay and no little to nothing about it.

Demigod is it at all possible for you to post something that isnt console war related?

This is funny coming from you. Also do you need to cry in every thread? You did it yesterday. I'm just posting the reactions in this thread and that's how I see it.

I had higher expectations of ninja theory than this. I mean i thought Microsoft wanted Sony level exclusives but it feels like it's a very simple experience. Not when I had in mind when Phil said they're going big.
So how did this leak?

I'm a PC gamer, as you know. I'm just sick of you lot to be honest, i wish you would just grow up at times. You dont realize how tedious it makes reading forums with all this shite constantly.

Gotta wonder what the consensus would be if the trailer had "Sony Entertainment Presents" or "Nintendo of America"....
Some of you guys are so predictable I'm thinking of starting a career in fortune telling. I got a gift. Lol

Looks kind of mediocre but I would like to see some actual gameplay first.
As it is it just seems like a hero shooter that doesn't have any personality like overwatch and I doubt its got the gameplay to make up for it. I want to be into the aesthetic but it just seems so... mashed together?
