We can already see the headlines.... "Hellblade 2 sells so well that Xbox decides to close the studio."
I played way more than 7 hours. If you’re not invested in stories,lore and you just breeze through content for internet clout then…yea
I don't think it's gonna sell very well 💀
@@cutwir3317companies always advertise in the very High end of game time. Dont be suprised if this is a 4-5 hour experience if your just wanna run the story
@@whylekat Of course it will not sell, it's on gamepass.
Lol. made my day.
"Haha, I'm in danger" -Ninja Theory after seeing Tango get nuked
Well damn. That's a weird way to find out the co founder left.
Yeah old news
Co founders left Rocksteady before Suicide Squad was announced. Mikami left Tango after being acquired by XBox. Rockstar co founder and lead writer left right before GTA 6 trailer (which honestly has me kind of nervous), Ninja Theory cofounder gone. It’s been a trend lately. And not a great one.
Yeah homie got paid, him and the other head at NJ got a couple mil, that's why tameem's traveling
@@mandrews6282 yep. I was thinking the exact same thing. Some have left and made their own studios.
When they had the developer direct in January Antoniades was nowhere to be seen.
Dan Attwell who's the environment art director seems to have taken on most of the media duties.
I havent seen ANY ads for Hellblade. I no longer have gamepass so doesnt matter.
My gamepass ends the day after release lmao
Mine ends the day it comes out, will let it renew for a month to play it then cancel.
people need to calm down the game is gonna be a blast this guy is full crap news not real news.
I agree you can't judge a game before it comes out.
They literally announced yesterday they gonna do big promotions for hell blade 2 coming next week 😩 look it up. They even have the whole layout on twitter of things there gonna do
Their marketing has been awful. They don't need to just show gameplay, they can do other marketing tactics.
But they should show the gameplay because it's a main hype generator for games. I own XSX and GP and there is almost no promo for this game. There are no videos posted online about it, there are no gaming influencers who talk about it here or on reddit.
This game will bomb and then everyone will be suprrised liek they didn't know why they sabotaged this game from the start
Why advertise? Every PS channel has been talking about it.... More then they talk about PS stuff... They still talk about starfield too. More then anything...so they are promoting it. & doing A great job of it.
only greed driven bs companies do thos live action or cinematic trailers.... real gamers want gameplay
The gameplay will be boring like in first one.
@@Victor____S speak for yourself
7 years for 7 hours of gameplay is just horrible. Need to cut that time in half, one project per console cycle is laughably bad.
Where did all the time go?
To be fair they are an extremely small studio and pushing the boundaries of an engine that is still pretty new
@@harty3113if doing it is so troublesome then don't do it, it's crazy that it's 7 years in development 7-8 hours story n lock in 30fps on console
@@QuackOfWardon't play it then😂😂 gaming community just bitches about everything in today's world
@@harty3113 Nah, that's not an excuse. All the tech they're using was already in UE4, it has just been better optimised for modern hardware; plus, UE5 is still on the UE4 codebase, which makes it easy to port older UE4 projects to UE5. Taking seven years for a game light on gameplay is just absurd, it's one less year it took Bethesda to make Starfield. The thing with Hellblade 2, I'm just baffled as to what they spent all that time doing? It's a linear game, only seven hours long, and it only has wakling and some light melee combat. It took one dev making Bright Memory on UE4 less time to make that game than it did for Ninja Theory to make Hellblade 2, and you have way more complex gameplay mechanics in Bright Memory.
It’s wild that Hellblade 2 is launching in 2 weeks & there has been zero advertising from Xbox!
Not wild.
It's just Xbox. The company is a fucking trainwreck
Why does it need marketing though? In this current generation where everything is a Google search away or a clickable hashtag on Twitter, it makes sense to save money from advertisements especially when you've already had advertisements that are posted on UA-cam.
@@Triforcebro You clearly don't know jack shit about marketing. The average customer doesn't go out of his way to look up a product that isn't essential to daily life. Unless this thing blows up through word of mouth, it'll be fucked without marketing
@@Triforcebro gonna be honest i completly forgot this game was releasing this year. that's one of the major reason why you want to keep marketing your product. i only found out yesterday that it's releasing in like 2 weeks.
I am a collector that follows industry news and talks with the people in this industry.
now imagine some random dude that isn't all that deeply into gaming. he won't actually search up anything for this product.
@@FrancisYorkMorganFBI you follow industry news but just now found out the games coming out this year? Weird that you forgot but hey, you would of found out anyway from TikTok or UA-cam or Twitter and been able to catch up or stay away from spoilers on day 1. So again, why does it need marketing?
My suspicion is that they don’t want to spend too much money on marketing, I’ve seen some games spend more on marketing than the actual game. It’s probably costing too much now and probably testing to see if they can get away with it.
That or this game is a little too short to be spoiled.
Or they are being set to fail.
Hellblade looks expensive. Youd expect they'd at least try to hype it more than they are doing. Even Armored Core VI has more marketing than this. And that game is from a niche series.
It’s Xbox and Microsoft so I don’t think there any excuse. The big companies could do way more marketing I think with games in general when you look at what the movie industry does in comparison for example with their actors promoting across different countries and premieres.
@@jgunner94 yeah but if they had money then they wouldn’t be dropping 4 studios, one of which obvious had great reception. I wouldn’t really call it an excuse more than just their reasoning or fear it may not be worth doing.
@@sevhoss Those are independent situations which shouldn’t be related to this. Cause they shut down studios doesn’t mean they can’t do some good marketing for a significant game in their line up.
@@jgunner94 Their fiscal year is coming up. How is anything related to cost vs profit independent of each other?
It's apparently really short, any more would probably spoil the game, ive only ever seen senua walking in videos lol
But they can market it in many other ways, right?
Same playtime as most resident evil games.
@NostalgiaNet8 yea. A 10 second ad wouldn't give away no more than their own trailer. What they can show is extremely limited, and they just aren't pushing it that much I guess, as far as outside exposure
Majority of the first game was walking. It had very little combat.
They could still show something. Like CGI trailers and so
With how things look, that studio is so under the axe after the game gets released
There's only one Blade and it's Stellar.
Stellar booty
👏👏👏
😎🗿
And only one Hell, and its divers.
Stellar Mid
Dude from the ninja theory really living it up 😂 Hope hes having a great time lmao
So long as Hellbalde 2 is releasing day 1 on Game Pass, it's almost guaranteed to be a flop in terms of sales.
How are they going to justify 6 hrs for that long of a development cycle
play the game
The 1st game was also 7 hours and took them 6 years...
so many people easily freak out like when they say xbox is gonna go 3rd party geeze they need to chill criticize it when its release not before lmao!
@@simonrockstreamEveryone will be able to play the game and cancel the Gamepass sub before it's dinner. Ninja theory is getting closed down after this game makes no money.
Give me 6 hours of great gaming than 60 hours of fetch quests any day of the week.
Reminds me of Halo: Infinite. 6 years for a 10 hour campaign. Pathetic lol.
Maybe they're trying to lay low so the Execs forget they're employed there and they don't fire them?
Like Microsoft is a T-Rex. "They can't see us if we don't move." 😂
People forget that a 7-10 hour long single player game used to be the norm. Lmao. "If it ain't 100 hours long it ain't worth my money" is a terrible sentiment to have. You can beat every Halo game in like 8 hours per game. The original God of War games only like like 10 hours per game. Nothing wrong with be able to complete an entire game in one weekend.
Those games didn't take 9 years to make
@chasejackson7248 not only that. They are not even making the game from scratch like the first. Why the hell did they take nearly as long as the first, even though they had the resources and everything built. Couldn't they just improved upon the stuff they already built
Stupid as f*ck take, the entire God of war trilogy took less time time to develop.
@@chasejackson7248Neither did Hellblade 2. It went into full production 3 years ago.
I'm generally fine with games being 10 hours long provided they're not full price
Microsoft is deliberately trying to tank these games by giving them no marketing budget. Microsoft doesn’t want the studio. They want the IPs and the name of the studio.
I was thinking something similar, things like Starfield and Bethesda got the meat of the marketing budget, but everything else like Hellblade got leftovers.
I don’t mind short games, but at the same time it is taking way too long to make games nowadays, and it’s costing way too much and budgets are getting way out of hand
I still honestly believe that the majority of the hype off this game was off the visuals, but they took so long that they don't even look as great as it used to because of how many amazing looking games released since it's reveal. Also, a lot of people are playing older games, and I believe, caring less about graphics as a whole, as it's becoming more common to have great graphics, but shitty games. Because I refuse to believe everyone was as hyped as they were for this game based on the gameplay of the first, because the gameplay of the first game sucked. It just did and people need to stop pretending that it didn't. And the fact that they aren't showing much gameplay/combat, give me Redfall and Starfield pre-launch info flashbacks.
"It just did." Yeah, you totally convinced me Hellblade 2's gameplay was bad. Good job...
Couldn't disagree more that the gameplay of the first one sucked.
@@savagecabbage6119 I mean, if you played the first and you were honest and not coping, then you'd come to the same conclusion. It sucked. The combat was extremely repetitive and super basic, so was the enemies and the puzzles. Super bare bones and it didn't get better from the start to the end. In fact, it got more frustrating because of how utterly repetitive it was. Yes. It just did. This is a fact. Any other opinion is wrong.that simple. You can cope all you want,b ut if you say otherwise, your coping or you didn't play the game, like many who are overly hyped for HB2. HB2 might have improved on the first, but we haven't seen anything at all that would logically imply that, which is, or at least should be, a cause for concern to those interested in the game.
@@stuffedlegoguy461 that's fine. You can feel that way, your wrong, but many people like eating shit.
Honestly I prefer games not advertising a lot. I'm sure hellblade 2 will be as good as the first one and a prefer not knowing too much because it will ruin the experience. If some one isn't a hellblade fan then just ignore the dam game..
It's a shame, the first game was really cool. This game needed to come out 4 years ago
I was genuinely thinking this would be out either as a series x launch exclusive or at least a year after launch. I didn't expect nearly a decade😂
I genuinely don't get this argument. What does it matter this game took so long to make? I remember 4 years ago the general consensus on Hellblade was that the devs should take their time and not rush out a product that was subpar. Do we want more rushed games or actual functional good games at launch?
@@savagecabbage6119 Timing is incredibly important when releasing any entertainment product. The official trailer for the 1st game back in 2017 has 2.2m views, then the game, won some awards from '17-'19 help boosting its profile, then the 2019 announce trailer for II has 2.2m views. I'm sure covid impacted development, but Ninja Theory had a much bigger team to work on the 2nd game and it isn't any longer/bigger than the 1st. Ideally it would've released in 2021/22 at the latest to efficiently ride the wave they were on, so to speak. Instead now it's almost halfway thru 2024 and there's hardly any fanfare for this game. "Senua's Saga: Hellblade II" an ironic title now considering there's been no marketing and Ninja Theory will probably be killed off after it releases. Bad timing, bad circumstances, and rumours aren't doing this game any favors.
Tameem has pretty much been the face of Ninja Theory. Pretty weird for him to just step away so close to its release.
People upset about game length are ridiculous. If it’s only 7 AMAZING hours then great. What do you want, the same garbage open world Ubisoft game? The problem with Xbox’s failings is that every xbot unfairly hinges all their hopes on the one game that trickles out from Xbox studios. This is not that game just move on. Ninja Theory is a great studio and I’m excited for every new game they do and I’ll play this like it’s their swan song because most likely it will be the way Xbox is acting these days.
It's going to be 5 hours of walking from 1 place to another a few puzzles and a few qte combat sections
So in your own way, you are saying it’s going to be like the first game. This game is a direct sequel so why expect anything different?
@@mrigamer7084 don't expect '7 amazing hours"
The length of the game isn’t what’s important. It’s the quality. Resident evil seven is only 10 hours long, but it’s an amazing 10 hours. If this game is a fantastic seven hours from top to bottom, that is a massive win for gamers.
I don't recall them really marketing the first one either.
NinjaTheory wasn’t owned by Microsoft for the first one, but it was still pretty niche I remember hearing about it and played it at launch but I couldn’t tell you where I remember seeing it, I think it was a PlayStation exclusive at launch and they were advertising it.
@@morgoth9590yeah it was a Sony launch exclusive. Then it came to Steam and then Xbox a while later. I didn't even play the game until it came to Xbox
literally forgot that this was coming out in a few days til i saw someone bring it up during yesterdays newswave.
this won't sell at all
There are actually 5 studios being closed, the last is about to launch the first exclusive of the year and they chose to not announce it yet.
That is a gross statement. I'm frankly disgusted you even said that.
@@Mmachine88 Why
@@Mmachine88 what's disgusting is that what op said is probably going to happen
@mygetawayart putting that out there is just wrong. Let the game come out and do it's thing. If that does in fact happen then I'll be the first in line to demand people like Phil And Matt to be fired.
@@Mmachine88 because we know the execs are the ones who lose their jobs right? Have you not seen what just happened? My man (or woman idk), they’re not even advertising Hellblade 2.
That picture of him with all those chicks is hilarious
Yup, not expecting it to be very good. It's got all the tell tale signs of failing:
-Long time between sequel
-No marketing
-A studio under Microsoft
-CEO left
Same thing happened with Mario Wonder. I saw no ads or literally anything about the game until I saw it as a GOTY nominee. I audibly went “we got a new Mario game this year?” Because I saw virtually no advertising for it.
Yeah we will knock it out in one sitting after work.
Maybe 4-6 hours of game just doesn't justify the price point for me..
I think they know they are in trouble because it'll be over before it begins
Right. I mean, they must known that if a game is fun, we want at least 8 hours to experience it. A single work day equivalent is all we want and not much to ask for.
@@Timbo6669 I don't mind a game that is only 4 - 6 hours if it is really fun. I will replay that game over and over again if it's good, like Streets of Rage 4 or TMNT Revenge of Shredder. But Hellblade 2 does not seem like a fun and engaging game like Streets of Rage 4 or TMNT.
@@Billy-bc8pk then don't play it dude its that simple
@@Billy-bc8pk
Imagine replay the game. 😂 slow walk and alot of scenes. Barely gameplay.
@@kg888 Yeah exactly -- there wasn't much there to replay. It's not even a game I would watch someone replay.
I would say the studio is smart by not saying he left. Pretty much every time a major person leaves a studio the articles run wild with conspiracies and say the game is in trouble
MS a week after the game releases: Hellblade 2 has been a massive success
MS a year after: closes the studio
my guess is it’s just as expensive to market games as it is to make them and unlike before you could market for a while and it wouldn’t be so bad, now a days. it’s way to expensive and i think it’ll only be about a week worth of marketing to save cost
I get the cinematic experience and all of that, but why did they have to keep those black lines during gameplay?
Is there a reason to market it when it comes to gamepass? What is the potential for sales outside of it?
Im personally excited for this game. The first one was one of the greatest gaming experiences I've ever had. The representation of mental health is unmatched in any form of media.
Agreed. The game made me genuinely emotionally invested in Senua's struggle and success.
Yeah, the first one was more of a "spiritual" experience than an actual game, which I was fine with. I have never played anything like it.
Cringe
We need MORE games like this. High production super focused 7-10 hour games. I’m so tired of the endless sink holes that make up gaming these days
It will be great but one and done. Starfield however can be fixed and expanded, makes more sense to invest there
Tbf they have released a couple other games too between Hellblade 1 and now according to wiki, so it's not been in full on development for 7 years maybe? Either way I hope your gut is wrong for once.
Luke I am not able to find the stream from where this clip is taken from can you link the streams to the clips so it becomes easy for us to watch the whole stream from where that clip came from
So the game's gonna be all cut scenes.
10 minutes of gameplay
5 of these being quick time events 😂😂😂
ur ignorant af. go play fortnite
😂@@tablettablete186
The whole (1 hour of gameplay for 7 years) is so weird to me I’m sure HB2 struggled with the pandemic being a studio with so much hand crafted content being put into the game and having everyone being close quarters to work on the Mo cap had to have affected them more than a lot of people realize.
When you said... 'Y'know if i had a 34million dollar check..." my first thought in context was... dude stop... the wife will hear you... im glad the sentence ended well.
Next studio to be closed
there is nothing wrong with the game apart from the fact that it took them 7y to dev jsut for us to finish it in 7h but apart from that there is nothing wrong cause we've seen a lot of gameplay
It took them 6 years for the first game as well and that was also 7 years.. games take time.. who knew
Small studio
@@PuppetMaster-Blade Insomniac doesn't seem to need 7 years for a walking simulator.
Xbox management is just dogshit
@@flyingplantwhale545 this aint insomniac kid.. this is a team of less than 40 people..
@@PuppetMaster-Blade Fair point. 7 years for a 7-hour linear game is still way too long by any metric, especially when you're putting a on Gamepass that people will finish over the weekend.
Ninja Theory is on shaky grounds...especially given MS change of strategy and the sad fate of Tango and Arkane Austin, among other teams...
It's very strange. Hellblade one was advertised a lot in the UK. It was on the side of double-deckers on bus stops, TV, UA-cam and even on the walls of some construction sites. At least in Cambridge. Perhaps it was only because Ninja Theory is based in Cambridge idk.
Advertising can be weird with all the algorithms. If it wasn't for all the gaming stuff i follow i wouldn't have known about Starfield coming out either, i saw zero ads for that game
It’s The Order 1886 all over again.
which was amazing
Yeah I replayed that recently on my ps5, what an amazing game with a good story and so much lore! I want more so a side passion project is me writing a sci Fi movie, but playing that game makes me think of how good of a TV series or movie they could make if they kept to the lore, I just know if I actually do become successful in the movie industry, I would love to adapt that into a movie.
It was a good game but a commercial failure, most people branded it as a glorified tech demo. The dev time, budget, full price tag and short run time doomed it to go down as a failure forgotten by most people. Hellblade 2 stretchs almost all of that except 10$under the at that time regular 60$ launch price, chances are this does not recuperate what will be expected of it unfortunately. A 7 hour game, that took 7 years to develop, costs 50$ at launch but will also launch on Gamepass… one that they burnt out all of the marketing far before launch, it’d be very surprising if this game is successful.
They even had a sequel lined up for The Order before it even released that was almost instantly canned due to the reception and poor sales of the game
That game was actually great.
"Change that MUNCH" Sorry Luke, but that was funny lol
It's such a niche game, with such a very specific audience. It's also not a "console crowd" style game. I don't think promoting it would increase sales any. That's just my opinion, but it will likely be a short game that most people won't appreciate, and those who do have probably already purchased it for PC
What sucks about management at Xbox is that they see their games like if they were Pepsi or Sprite and think they are going to sell themselves.
Because that sure has been working wonders for them since 2013.
“My gut is rarely wrong.”
The ego on this guy
Everyone that has played it early has said nothing but good things about it. The game started in Unreal 4 then got moved over to Unreal 5 plus they didn't work much on it for like 2 years because of COVID.
When does it come out? Is it not a couple of months away?
Hellblade isn’t a console seller or flagship entry in their catalogue, so I’m not surprised. It’s a short narrative game with minimal combat/puzzles. I’m more surprised people (including Luke) have been hyping it up as a big deal game like it’s going to make or break the Xbox lineup.
Loved the first one - can't wait for this 👌🏽
I'm excited for the game. Wish they had a disc so I could buy it
There’s been a post everyday on their channels on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.
We have three trailers as well, we’ve had stuff going since 2017/18.
So 3 trailers and a bunch of social media posts in 7 years, do you really equate that to proper marketing?
I really like the combat in the first game, so 1.5 sounds great to me. I think the combat felt really heavy, feels like being hit really mattered. I like how Senua’s actions get more limited the less health she has… and I like the use of the voices instead of visual cues for enemies around you. Not sure why people complained about the combat. Maybe more enemy variety would be nice and that’s it.
Maybe they've done enough for Hellblade II by letting the developers create a masterpiece.
It’s like xbox upper management doesn’t want the game to be successful for some reason
This game don't need 5-6 years of developement and all that budget. This is going to be a flop financially.
Hellblade 2 is a strange one because its been at 3 TGAs, 3 Xbox showcases, several industry events (Epic State of Unreal, Gamescom, etc.), the UA-cam trailers also have millions of views, yet it feels like there's no hype. Maybe they blew their marketing load a bit early.
I don't see ads for any games
I remember when Luke defended Starfield like this at one point. Did not age well.
I remember the entire development of the first game being quite thoroughly covered on the ninja theory UA-cam channel. I haven't really been following it this time so I don't know if they've done that again.
They've done quite a few dev diaries and posted a bit but not as much as they did for the first game.
I just watched Dreamcastguy and he was saying the same thing. It's crazy how they aren't letting people know this game is coming out.
The first game only was curious because of the binaural audio effects. The voices were the coolest part.
This video free hellblade 2 promotion thanks for spreading the word
My money is on this being a 5 hour walking simulator prioritizing technological gimmickry over engaging gameplay. Im good
An hour per year of dev is such a shallow minded way of viewing this. There's more to development than just "making 7 levels" Movement and animation tech cpuld have taken multiple years, vision, design, concept etc. Game design isn't that simple
i have seen it advertised in xbox gamepass, but i don't know if that counts as the traditional advertisement you were asking for.
I don't recall seeing many ads for the first one either, however there have been at least one trailer and a rather thorough behind-the-scenes featurette type of video.
Seeing the showcase for Xbox I think in like 2018 and seeing Hellblade 2 cinematic is what made me want an Xbox X. So yeah this is a loooong time coming and now cold silence. Weird.
Not wanting to reveal to much is understandable - however, they should find some means of promoting the game beacuse I had NO idea that it comes out in two weeks and the only news surrounding it, is "it could be in trouble". Thats not a good outfit.
Yes. I have seen ads for it.
Same. People close their eyes and ignore stuff just so they can go "wha wha I have seen no ads no marketing".
@@yorppotrbut where though😂 I've been out and about and seen nothing, except a gamepass ad which shows this game for like half a second
the were rumors for the last year that the studio was struggling with performance in ue5
a couple weeks ago they said Hellblade 2 is going to be 30fps and people didnt like it, maybe there is no marketing because they already know how this is going to turn out.
Maybe they also dont show more stuff of it because it will turn out like Resident Evil 3 remake where the Demo was basically the whole game, maybe what they showed already was the whole game too.
It’s funny how a lot of studio founders are just like: “nah I ain’t working for Microsoft”
Proceeds to put 1st party titles day 1 on gamepass
Game fails to meet sales expectations
MS: surprised Pikachu face and closes the studio
If it's that short and the combat is boring, why buy it or even bother playing it yourself. Just watch a streamer or a lets play on youtube.
I like cinematic experience too, in cinema 🤔
Another studio to be left in the dust. Goodbye Ninja Theory.
I have been hyped for Hellblade 2 for years and played and loved the first one as well as followed and wish listed Hell blade 2 as soon as I could as fast as I could and I found out through a Moist Critical video that the game was about to come out and to my utter shock I realized I had no freaking idea despite my intense interest and love for the og game not to mention my excitement for the Sequel. I am of the opinion that they are not marketing the game because they are planning on killing the studio, whether they do or do not go that route they should have at least advertised it to the people that where definitely on the list of those to be spammed ads... I hope the game is good :( And by the way while im thinking about the concept of not wanting to spoil the game I really find it hard to believe that they could not find a 2 minute game play event or cinematic to show off in pieces in a short trailer followed by a banner of the game?!? Weird af....
It is crazy, how Microsoft doesn’t publish hit games. The first game was such a cool, unique game. Ori and the Blind Forest is the only game, I played on XBOX ONE and didn’t regret buying. Playstation isn’t the holy grail, but at least they don’t disappoint me as frequently as Microsoft does.
This has been my most anticipated title. The first one was great and the sound design was very unique, I think the people that are interested in it already know about it. It's not going to be a triple A game so they aren't marketing it as such. Helldivers 2 had no promotion but the people that were interested already spread the promotion by word of mouth.
Ninja Theory is gonna get chopped. Hellblade 2 is launching on gamepass, NO one will be buying it for 50 dollars when it’s 7 hours long.
Probably not gonna need as much marketing the first one didn’t get it if I remember if it’s good it’ll do good
The game is more of an interactive movie, def not for everyone. I loved the 1st and pre ordered HB2 but I agree it's rather odd that they aren't marketing it more. The game took much longer because they had to pause for covid and didn't want to rush it out. I will admit I was expecting a 15hr game consider how long its been in dev even w/ the covid delay but I'm still happy to support the devs even if its just an interactive movie should still be a great experience.
Luke here’s an idea for a video. A recap of you calling out games for flops and how many times you were right and how many wrong
Is it a game or movie? Lol I don’t think I’ve ever seen gameplay 😂
Ghost of Tsushima is going to take the cake for this month. Not many people want to play through 10 hours of a psychological disease.
games only 5 hrs and the studio is goin to close like 2 weeks after release, nvm never heard that happen before.
minus cut scenes its gonna be a 4 hour game... whats there to show?
I will forever wish that Naughty Dog make another Uncharted, with the type of gameplay in The Last of Us Part II. Story wise that game is so depressing to play through, but mechanically it's so fucking satisfying.
The fact that it's on gamepass when it's a story-driven short game is nuts. Games like this are mostly a one and done kind of affair and that's going to eat into the potential sales pretty badly. Demos is how games like this used to sell. You'd get to play a limited segment to get your beak wet and that was enough to give you an semi-informed decision.
lets be honest, word of mouth is the biggest ad 🤷🏻♂️
if the game is good, everyone will know about it
if the game is trash marketing is useless
