idk man maybe i am just looking for more specific/different kinda experiences in games right now but like... this looks like the most boring game in the world to me. devs got really good at figuring out particle emitters and hit stop/dynamic camera angles mid-combat in unreal engine and now we're just stuck with really flashy character action games that have like zero soul to them

in reply to @erica's post:
is it just me or was the narration/editing in this segment of state of play also really lifeless and boring
Sadly yeah, combat and enemy designs seemed fun though hopefully maybe its more combat then story.
taking the concept of "sci fi bayonetta" and making it lame as hell is a genuine achievement
“What we must do is….complete the mission…” This game has writing
this looks like one of those 2017-era twitter posts where a chinese college student kitbashes 400 megascan assets together and makes a 30sec video of some insanely over the top combat animations and gets ten million RTs and then disappears forever. Except they actually made it a real videogame
boredom is absolutely a valid response but I fucking love this shit lol. Looks mid as hell [congratulatory]
(also I'm kinda excited for it just because it's Hyung-Tae Kim, the Magna Carta illustrator, finally making a real videogame again after like 15 years in the gacha mines)
i didn't know it was him which gives me negative excitement cuz last i saw he was overpainting stable diffusion shit for like a solid year or two now
Had to force myself to finish the video.
It feels more like a review someone would phone in than something that would make people get excited for the game, and the narration was so flat and monotone.
Actually, all of the entire trailer seems that way. Sure, it's graphically impressive, but the art direction makes the world and game feels so lifeless.
Edit: Hnn, I just realised I mostly echoed what you said, but I guess there's not really much else to glean from the video. It feels like a concentration of all the wants gamer bros want in a video game but all of it a shell. But we'll have to wait and see.
Anyway, you probably already know this but the company behind this game fired two women on the sole basis of them being feminists.
A friend of mine had this to say:
oh yea fun fact about stellar blade, it's developers are the same one who made nikke goddess of victory, which honestly explains alot about why eve and her outfits despite her being based off of a real south korean model (which features have CLEARLY been edited in game if you have a look at the motion capture stuff they shown off with me) look the way they do when you realise what most woman in nikke look like
