It's mismanagement because Hellblade 2 would only be acceptable if it was a launch window game. It would've made for a decent tech demo to show you this is what next gen could look like. Releasing that game mid gen is just bad management. No clue why they went this direction, but they should've made it an action game mixed with the other stuff. It should've been similar to God of War imo and not a walking simulator

Yeah, it would have been the perfect pack-in game like Astro’s playroom or wii sports to get people hype about the tech for current gen consoles. But 4 years into the current gen and for 50 dollars? Have no clue what they were thinking with this game

Its not even worth the effort to port

Yeah, 2022 should've been the latest to release it. In it's current state it had to be a launch window game to showcase tech. That studio is weird because they're capable of making an action game, so no clue why they didn't add action to that game sprinkled with the art stuff they've done with HB2

I don’t really see them making games like that anymore. The dude responsbile for stuff like Heavenly Sword and DmC pretty much took the money from the acquisition and cashed out.



He’s just been partying ever since :pachaha:
