!['Hellblade II' is bafflingly disappointing… [REVIEW]](/img/n.gif)
That intro is the child like joy I need more of in my life
Agreed !!!
Same
For anyone that wasn't aware re. the Indy timeline, Temple of Doom is a prequel hence why it wasn't in the graphic.
Thanks for clearing that up
I'd genuinely forgotten that!
I know people who saw all the Indy movies on theatrical release and they didn't know that, lol.
During the ABK FTC court case it was confirmed that Indiana Jones was exclusive to Xbox/PC.
I mean, it probaly was true in 2023, when he said it I don't think he lied under oath.
@@Aussie27LegendAnd still in 2024 and beyond.
@@libarax because trust me bro?
@@garyvan4084 Because very basic logic and common sense. Also legal court and statements made under oath that would result in legal issues if found to be untrue🤣
People who complain about first person are close minded and shallow people who know next to nothing about immersion. Looking at your characters back while he slowly crouches through chest high Grass isnt immersive.
Find someone who looks at you the way Blood looked at the Vision of Mana presentation.
Indiana Jones is confirmed to be an Xbox ecosystem exclusive day one on Gamepass for Xbox series S and X as well as windows PC, it was confirmed during the FTC and Sony vs Microsoft trial, there were some documents leaked, Phil Spencer and company made the decision to make it exclusive as well as all future Bethesda games and yes that includes the upcoming Elder Scroll.
The way huber will punch Isla’s arm/shoulder when he gets excited is so cute😅
Happy to see more Don, hope he is present in more of these.
Don's great! Shout-out to the Crystal Skull!
As far as Short Round inclusion goes, I would be satisfied even if all we got was a letter from him on Indy's desk saying how much fun he's having at bordering school. Just a small acknowledgment that Indy set his surrogate son up someplace nice and is staying in touch.
I grew up on Fate of Atlantis. This trailer makes me feel like a kid again
Either y’all forgot about the FTC documents stating that Indiana Jones will be exclusive to Xbox and PC or you bought the bogus rumors about Xbox games coming to PlayStation. That’s the only reasons you would be asking if it’s going there.
Actually you all were the best in this DD reaction. No annoying chat over the devs, silence when needed, positivity. Great. Kudos to all of you
Glad I waited to watch this with you guys. Senua looks amazing, very excited
Why is anyone surprised when an Xbox owned studio puts their game on game pass? Literally all Xbox games go on game pass lol
Thumbs up just for the Indiana Jones cover.
Regarding the Hellblade game mechanic of dying so many times that you'd need to start over - this wasn't actually a thing. They had that warning as a way to make the gamer feel uncomfortable and as if every battle could be their last but you could actually die hundreds of times without consequence
EDIT: i see this was clarified during the stream
I’m not even mad they got me with that, I was fighting for my life
@@maux9175 Same, bro. lol. Good touch.
I bet they'll do the same with Senua's Saga
You guys gave me the biggest smile with that intro. Love your spirit always!!!
In certain scenes it looks like they used Todd Howard as the face model for Indy....
Is there a Patreon tier that lets us see Blood’s notes 😂??! It seems like a treasure trove of wisdom! I MUST KNOWWW!
I want one of Blood's note pages signed and framed on the wall.
It’ll be standard, boring stuff a la:
Indiana Jones (Machine Games)
Nazi villain
Ford like-ness
Great VA, Troy Baker?
First person (sometimes third)
Whip combat
Uncharted-esque humour
Orchestral soundtrack
Titled ‘The Great Circle’
Set in between Raiders and Crusade
2024
Can't wait for Visions of Mana. Hopefully they add ultrawide resolution.
20:34 by the way, does anybody know what happened to Tameem Antoniades, isn’t he the Ninja Theory CEO? It’s been a pretty long time since he appeared on screens
Indy is exclusive 😅
For now lol
@@Playerz714it is coming to PC and nothing else as well.
UNHINGED beginning. Love it
Looks cool! I may be in the minority but pumped for first person, good trailer but (nitpick) the logo reveal looked a little cheap which is odd considering the rest of the trailer is not. (talking indy)
Ara is maybe the biggest surprise of the show but i skipped the hellblade segment (don't need to see more of that) so maybe there was some big thing in there I missed.
lol now that you pointed out the logo, I see it.
Honestly, the Hellblade 2 segment didn't show alot we hadn't already seen. I don't they're going to show much unedited gameplay until right before launch. I think they're going to wait to avoid spoilers for people
@@alexlyster3459 Yeah i simultaneously feel like i've seen too much and nothing specific ha, I dug the first one so i suspect i'll get along with 2 fine (though my pc is definitely not good enough to run it so i'll have to get to it when i get to it)
You're not in the minority. The minority are the Media Sony fanboys who keep trying to make anything a bad narrative for Xbox as if it's their job.
I need to get an Avowed Art book too
all games in show were confirmed 2024 ahead of time
Massive shout out to Huber here. Love seeing him host.
wtf is going on with the camera on the Avowed dev section? Why does it keep changing from the front camera to a close-up on the women's face?
Cause *some* women are nice to look at 😆
Avowed looks like a VR game lol at least the combat. Environments look great tho
I guess the guy on the right side didn't get the memo when MS renegotiated with Lucus Film to make it exclusive to Xbox. Kinda funny how far rumours get.
Bro Indiana Jones was confirmed to be Xbox ecosystem exclusive during the ABK-FTC trial
Where is the conversation that followed after this ended? I thought it would be on Spotify as podcast but I think I was wrong with that.. :(
Also thank you very much for this show! Was a pleasure to watch it!! :)
We recorded the podcast a couple hours after. It will be up for patrons in a couple hours. -Bloodworth
@@EasyAllies Thank you very much! Will check it out!
Visions of Mana is looking incredible, I can't even believe it.
I'm SO pumped for Hellblade II. May 21st is my birthday!!!!!! BEST PRESENT EVER 🥳
I'm here for Visions of Mana, baby! Let's go!
Indy looks perfect! Machinegames and Indy is the kind of stuff that I wouldn't even dream about but it looks incredible. My fav game series is the Uncharted games and I'm so excited for Indy to continue that kind of gameplay. I will be saving up for a good PC or Xbox finally, just for this. Absolutely a system seller for me, hoping it's as good as it looks here!
I want an EZA podcast with this lineup!!! ❤
"The Great Circle" I'm pretty sure refers to the concept of the interconnected spiritual ley lines on Earth. Will it ultimately take us to Saturn? Maybe.
"Wait no playstation? Oh but they wouldnt announce that at a xbox thing" where are your concerns when games like spiderman and wolverine are announced and its not announced for xbox?
Spider-Man and Wolverine were announced as PlayStation exclusives. Indiana Jones was announced before Bethesda was acquired by MS. I wasn't sure if they'd reworked the deal (which they have) or if they'd fulfill the existing contract like with Ghostwire Tokyo. There's no "concern" at all, just questions, which were answered minutes later when I got the complete info from Bethesda. -Bloodworth
@@EasyAlliesThat's a very fair assessment and explanation. Appreciate you clarifying, I saw this video getting dragged all over Twitter. Lol
I was hoping AJ Locascio was going to voice Indiana Jones, he did a great Han Solo in the Lego game.
It's so weird that game journos/media whose whole job is games and games only are still unaware that Xbox puts ALL first party games day and date on Game Pass. Like that is the whole point. And why are they STILL asking if first party Xbox studios are going to come to PlayStation?
Let’s talk X BOX! Love that intro so much 😊
Yeah its not like there isn't a Federal Court case with many articles online where Microsoft confirmed Indiana Jones is exclusive and Phil said under oath they renegotiated the Indy contract with Disney to make it Xbox exclusive....
The peaking in the intro lmao let's go!!
The hype surrounding Indy is infectious lol
The video game industry is the only one that will talk about historical accuracy and then in the next frame show a giant crab or a zombie creature.
31:10 get em a bodddddddy bagggggg
I am really that the Mana series will finally arrive to Xbox!
ALL Xbox 1st party games are day 1 Gamepass. Also, confirmed during the FTC case that it is exclusive
Like if you got emotional and shed a tear when you first saw Harrison Ford’s face and the Indiana Jones’ theme and all your life came across before your eyes in a split second, reminding back in the days when you were just a kid sitting happily on the big sofa between your mom and dad and watching the films on the tv.
Wish these developers did more of these.like on PlayStation state of play's. Give the developers the,spotlight. Make each game count.
Feeling good about indy and senua. Awoved looks rough. Combat looks really boring. Not really interested in square enix game and the strategy game
Is that,troy baker as,indy?
Yes
It was excellent
Kind of shocked EZA was so sure it was going to be third person. The studio is known for its FPS games and it just made sense to me that it was going to be first person. Taking an artifact has much more impact when youre doing it in first person than in third.
Avowed looks okay right now. Beautiful environments, decent conbat but nothing new. The character models and integration need tons of work.
Just my take.
Conversely.. Hellblade 2 looks extremely polished and well thought out. Great work ninja theory
Big fan of square, but the Mana games never were my jam. That said, the game looks nice and appears to play extremely smooth. I could see some nice moments being created by Square.
ARA looks beautiful and fun. I've never been great at these games, but it makes me want to play
Wow. At first glance I was HEAVILY skeptical on first person. Thank GOODNESS they included game play cause it really helped sell the combat. The whip looks great!
Duh', I wonder If it is on PLaystation? 🤣😂😅😆
Thats an excellent line-up of games.
Jolly
Hellbalde 2 and Mana look great
Not sure about Indy being first person...I would've preferred an Uncharted/Tomb Raider clone 🤣
Avowed love the environments but need to be wowed by the gameplay.
I was wondering if Hellblade 2 was going to convince to finally buy an Xbox.
I can say that I'm all out on Hellblade 2.
This showed me that they aren't expanding on the combat to make the game more enjoyable to play.
It's literally just hellblade 1 with better graphics and audio design
It’s very clear with the first game. This isn’t really about the combat.
@@Kalesauce oh I got that with the first game.
Originally I thought they might try to expand the combat/gameplay for the sequel which is what I was hoping for.
While I'm sure the game will be gorgeous it's not enough to convince me to finally buy an Xbox
@@AgentAika001 I’m sure they improved on it here and there but not a major focus.
I’m still interested but I’ll check it out more when it’s closer to release.
already no shame in using direct eh..
To the brainiac wanting an email or something to confirm Indy won't be on Playstation. We've got legal court documents already confirming it and have had them for a while.
Isla is being such a hater towards Avowed lmao
Entitled gamer found
What kind of ridiculous comment is "I'm gunna wait for an email to confirm its not on playstation"?
It's an Xbox owned studio, playstation has no claim to the game at all
Give Xbox its credit instead of worrying about PlayStations lack of Xbox games
Not ridiculous at all. There have been plenty of these presentations where a game is presented in a way that makes it look exclusive, then when the press release comes out, it turns out to be multiplatform. Indiana Jones was announced before the acquisition, and other games in similar circumstances fulfilled contracts to release on other platforms. Now, I was not aware (or forgot) that it had been brought up in the FTC proceedings, but without knowing that, there's no reason to think that it couldn't be a multiplatform release. -Bloodworth
Hellblade seems like it would be a great movie, but they've failed to show me a great game. I hope that combat is fun, but the amount of control (i'm assuming) they take away from you is the least fun thing a game can do.
First Hellblade was pretty good. They are definitely developing upon the combat system established in it.
I thought everyone would be bothered by Indy's face, but was surprised everyone was good with it. Just looks off to me as well as first person whipping enemies looking awkward.
nitpicking hard.
This is like a big L for ps5 and sony still have no games this year.
avowed yikes
Everything they showed except Hellblade 2 looks like 7/10 at best, this was a really really weak showing here and hopefully they have actually been making progress on the projects we've all really wanted to see.
And I like Indiana Jones but a first person game is not what anyone asked for and that game in particular looks like 6s and 7s being it's average scores when it comes out.
Nothing wrong with making above average games but Xbox themselves have said they are desperately trying to close the gap and this does nothing for them.
Bro it's all subjective. To me xbox lineup is way more varied and interesting and if you are already sure that this Indiana Jones will be mid then keep thinking that
It’s just mid-ness… lmao
Your presenter likes her phone more than presenting a show very unprofessional
You can tell how bitter he is about Xbox getting a good exclusive.
These guys still port begging. Don't you guys have Xboxes? Or PCs for that matter.
What a Playstation 🤬, the game is exclusive to the Xbox, PC and cloud ecosystems, it has already been confirmed that it WILL NOT BE ON YOUR PLAYSTATION BROTHER
Just A corny ppl. We've known for weeks...for weeks. Which games were getting gameplay, because they told us. They said "gameplay" after every game. EXCEPT hellblade2. They deliberately didn't put "gameplay" after HB2. Yet they showed us something's we saw...& A bit that we didn't. Why are ppl so extra about it. You knew for weeks HB2 wasn't getting gameplay. Just corny.
No gameplay for a game coming out in May? 😂
@@magnainsomnia you are an example of people who don't pay attention. AGAIN... I could if they said they would show gameplay. But AGAIN you & everyone else who do their research(which ppl should if they want to be as truthful as possible). For WEEKS....WEEKS!! Now. We all knew that HB2 was only game on the list that "gameplay" was not mentioned. They literally said gameplay for EVERY title EXCEPT HB2. You KNEW this for WEEKS!. Why act random like you didn't know. & yet they still showed some gameplay for HB2(even though they wasn't planning on it). Ppl read & hear what they want... Instead of what's there.
@@magnainsomniawhy won't they show gameplay?
Whoever is on the left is a terrible commentator and very judgmental. Idk what they saw to assume avowed isn’t ready for this year. It looks great with a cool art style and obsidian has never missed. So why would they start now?
Obsidian has in fact missed
@@Z50nemesis what game?
Edit: and if you pick KotoR 2 or New Vegas they had 6 months to make those games
Outer worlds honestly. Its very short, narrow and kinda just meh. Its not a horrible game but its really forgettable. Would also include Tyranny in that as well.@@Mmlujan
Ok your preference sure I’m talking about critically and I think they have maybe 2 games in the 7/10. I am talking at a critical level they haven’t missed. Most of the big games they have made have all hit. Including the outer worlds, South Park, PoE, New Vegas, etc
@@Deminese2 Critically it performed fine, and it was enough of a commercial success to justify announcing a sequel. That doesn't qualify as a "miss".
This guys asking if Indy is coming to PlayStation 🤡 wonder if they would ask once they see a Disney ip on PlayStation if it’s coming on Xbox? Bunch of ponies 💀 they literally said in the ftc case that it is a Xbox exclusive cry more
💀breh it's just a question he wasn't even saying it should come to PlayStation.
Y'all really need to stop blowing things out of proportion
@@KOdestroyer people out here fighting console wars that ended a decade ago
"Sony ponies"? Dude do you think it's 2013? Where do you think you are?
They are fine tho. As an happy xbox owner I was quite surprised with the quality of this reaction
A disappointing mini dev direct really. Microsoft is not communicating good their fan base.
I’m confused, what were you looking for here lol?
I think it had a few cool games but so much time is wasted listening to devs or marketing people just talk. Sometimes what they said was just cringe.
Why is it so hard for these game companies to just show gameplay and cut down on the filler its bonkers to me.
@@MrKryton24it's not the xbox summer showcase. Its LITERALLY 'Developer_Direct"
@@MrKryton24 there were only a few games shown lol. And yes, devs tend to talk in a developer direct lmao
@@MrKryton24literally called the “developer direct” where developers, y’know, directly talk to the audience.
