Stellar Blade Has Gone Gold: Easter Eggs from Shift Up's Studio
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 апр 2024
- Stellar Blade has gone gold. A few days ago, Stellar Blade's game director, Kim Hyung-Tae, posted on X stating Stellar Blade's development has wrapped and the game went gold. This means the developers feel that the game is complete and Stellar Blade is now being printed on physical media and starting to be shipped worldwide. Of course, the developers will continue to work on patches and continue to provide upkeep and post-launch content for the game.
What was also released a couple of weeks ago on some of Sony Playstation's official RUclips channels in their different countries / regions was a quick clip of about one minute that showed a tour of Shift Up's studio. The video showed a bunch of developers working on the game. In the clip, we could also see several Easter Eggs of content from Stellar Blade on the computer screens / monitors the developers were working on - including screenshots of characters, key objects, and outfits. It was great to see this passionate development team hard at work and engrossed in their development of this much anticipated game. Join me as I breakdown the video tour and talk about what was seen in the clip and make connections to what we already know about Stellar Blade.
Enjoy this video. Let me know what you think about my analysis of the tour of Shift Up's studio space. Also, tell me something new you learned from watching this video. Thanks for being here. Keep gaming, and have the best day.

Trust me… Shift Up's fans fully realize what they do and are more than happy to pay for it.
i already payed for it XD ( gonna need al costumes ), because the demo build up my trust
Support stuff that upsets woke-lings
@@user-vz4sh7sx1q I come from NIKKE so… I’ve been paying for it as well lol 👍can’t wait
I will milk my wallet dry if they start making official merchandise, figures, an art book, etc for Stellar Blade. And I’d never done it with another game
Agree to what op said I pre-ordered it
I hope they stay working together for many more games
They might be workingon a Sony ordered sequel...
Yes, like @ajkulin9 stated, I hope Sony greenlights a sequel soon.
I strongly congratulate the developers on the success of Stellar Blade. I hope that they continue to put out great games for all to enjoy.
Very well said.
I am now the fan of Shift Up. I'll be looking forward to seeing more games from them.😊
I believe the head artist was the person that was also the artist responsible for the game Blade N Soul on mobile and PC.
Interestingly, their website says they’re already working on a new cross platform next gen project too! We’re really in for a treat. I hope they’re taking well earned breaks between though.
Heck yea... me too.
Support the hell out of these guys ❤
i like that director gave his team all ps5 thats so nice
That's what I heard on the internet, but not sure if it was officially reported. I hope it was true.
I just have to say, I love the content you've been putting out for Stellar Blade. No one else dares to dive this deep! Here's what I thought after the demo, maybe the opposite of your theory. Mother Sphere had to abandon Earth, but for the Human Race to survive in some capacity, she had to take samples with her. Therefore, Eve and her like are Engrams. Downloaded Human minds, in artificial bodies. I feel like when Tachy gets her arm chopped off, you can see metal bone. Therefore, fake body, real mind? It's fun to speculate, that's for sure.
Appreciate your comment. It is definitely motivating. Now that the game is out, we were both a little bit off with our theories, huh.
@@unlistednaytiba Yep, lol. I think either one of our theories would have made for a good game, but Shift Up did fine on it's own. 🙂
As a Christian, I love your Biblical knowledge. And for anyone worried about the story - watching Korean dramas will give you confidence on how the story telling is in current Korean media
I was shooketh when I heard that. I asked my mom and sister who are both Christians and they said that there is some really cool and amazing stuff in the bible. I'm very fascinated by it.
@@fall-neckthetallneck2977 yeah in many regligious there is sometime a really cool stuff you can use as a reference for video game
8:34 is the standard Windows App for displaying Photos. I think the artist is maybe looking at a reference picture for their sculpting
yes you are right. realized that after :)
Loved this deep dive into the behind the scenes. Crazy to think we are less than 2 weeks from release. Definitely keep up the quality content
Really appreciate your comment. Glad you left it here. I hope you enjoyed the game.
In the areas where you get in through the blink glitch, there were some really interesting memory sticks, that hinted at some exciting facts as well
Like the EVE protocol and Mother sphere being treated like a god/religious deity.
Yes, I definitely want to explore what the EVE protocol really is.
What the heck man 😮 your vids are all bangers I really love how you break everything down into simple terms for us.
Heck yea. Appreciate your comment. Very motivating. Glad you commented that and glad to have you here.
Another great video! I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate your deep dives and lore theories. You’re a gem in the Stellar Blade content provider world.
Your comment is really meaningful and motivating. I appreciate your feedback. Hope you enjoy the launch in less than two weeks.
Pre loads for the digital version begins April 18th
Dude you need more followers!!! Really like your -analytical, chill and positive content
For sure. Really appreciate your comment. Definitely motivating :) Glad to have you here.
@@unlistednaytiba thanks for taking the time to reply
Dude your breakdowns are amazing! I have never been this excited for a game ever in my life. cant wait for your post game videos! keep up gods work my friend
Your comment is much appreciated. Definitely motivating, and yeah, looking forward to talking about this game for a little while. Glad to have you here.
13:21 this art is so sick
you can see the early works from Magna carta game....
@@arepeacedz85 I actually have that game on PS2.
In the last few moments of this video, I realized you have the same calm energy/voice as Adam in Stellar Blade. Thanks for the upload. Appreciate it man. Make earth safe again.
Wow, much appreciated. We will make earth safe again together in a couple of weeks when the game drops. Enjoy it and I value your comment.
Please Shift Up, don't bend the knee... PLEASE!!!
They bend the knee to real fans like last year in their mobile game there's a character who has a thick coat and fans want to see her butt so they put out a patch like in a week where she is coatless (the character was from chainsaw man)
they been forced already over graffiti that says HARD and an R within shitting distance. hope Shift goes to PC to avoid the bully shit.
I love this deep dive into the making of the game.
Appreciate your comment - happy to hear :)
Let’s make it go platinum!.
it's been a while since i've been excited for a game like this one. I can't wait to play it fully
Heck yea... totally agree.
Her name is always spelled in caps, EVE. I'm sure that we will find out the meaning of this later.
Yeah still didn't quite get an answer to it - not sure if it ever was supposed to be an acronym
Another excellent video 👍 can’t wait for post game content about lore.
Super appreciative of your feedback. I'm thinking the lore will run deep once we get the full game :)
I am convinced that this will be one of the best games I will ever play.
I've already played the demo for 14 hours and I'm so thrilled.
The combat, costumes and animations are fire. Thanks for the video.
Feeling the same. 14 hours - you must be a pro and not take any damage :) Appreciate your feedback.
same :)), im prolly going to be at around 20+ hours when the game releases because im planning to go into the full with every skill in the demo already acquired xD
I glitched out of the demo last night and this hype train is going warp-speed. Fighting the few new enemies just on the other side of Abaddon and seeing the rest of Eidos VII has me so excited for when the game drops.
how’d you glitch out? i tried to do the same for 30 mins but nothing
@@dugue-sama Are you referring to the Blink trick? Yeah, it took me a couple tries, but luring the Naytiba over and lining up across the wall on the ground floor of the parking garage is the setup. Shameless plug: I published the video this morning and it opens with the trick so as to not waste anyone’s time.
@@GuiltyGaming you just got yourself a like and subscriber. preciate you fam
@@dugue-sama Aw dude, right on. Thanks a ton.
PS. The original name for Natibas was “Natives”. (In Korean we hear the “V” and “B” as interchangeable- like the Kpop group “Viviz” is actually pronounced“BiBigi”). I think with the “native” idea, maybe these are what was originally on earth before humanity came to be
You are right on. I also saw your more recent comment as well. I can't believe I missed your comment here.
This studio is holy holy holy
I'm sure someone's already said this by now, but at 8:40 the application you didn't recognize is Windows Photos, the built in application windows uses to show Image files, assuming no other applications has taken charge of that. And the image there is likely his reference.
As for Zone_AYL_04 I don't know specifically what that is, but I want to point out the application the guy is using is possibly Houdini FX, and application used to generate terrain and design levels. So chances are Zone_AYL_04 is an area, or a part of an area. Though I have neither played Stellar Blade Nor used Houdini so do your own research with that information.
Appreciate you sharing the knowledge. Yes I believe the first thing you pointed out is just photos open to use as a reference. Would be curious to know what AYL means?
8:41 That's the default Photos application for Windows. Just look at the row of icons at the top and see they're the same.
The image on the right must be a reference (concept art) image used to build the 3D model on the left screen.
FYI it's written '' faster than light '' on eve's planetary dive suit thigh...
Great observations! One thing I just found is if you look closely at 16:48, the model has a pretty thick eyebrow, which is a bit different from that of the white-haired character. Some other details like the clothes, hairstyle, etc. also don't match.
Instead, this might be the model of the mysterious black-haired woman in the background of the vinyl record (13:18). Thick eyebrow and matching hairstyle are 2 similarities I found.
As to who this woman is, since they only show her face (which covers the largest area out of anyone), she should be someone important to the story. Looking at how intricate her outfit from her model is, my guess is that she might be the final boss that Eve will fight against.
Good point about the thick eyebrows... I just thought it was a super early/rough iteration of the character model so maybe that's why?
Also, the black haired woman on the vinyl. At first I thought it was Tachy. I've been going back and forth with if it's her - and it just looks a little different - or if it is someone new. I can see your point, that it's possibly someone else and they are important due to how much space she takes up on the cover.
With every video I’m even more hyped for the release 🔥🔥😤
Heck yea. Glad to have you here.
Okay this is so random but I have no one else to talk about this with- but on lobo extras channel of every stellar blade trailer @ 11:36 there is a very interesting frame of what I think is the white haired girl. Also earlier in that same trailer there is dialogue between Adam & Lilly that could be interesting to look at ! Idk if you’ve talked about this before but no one is really diving into more story & it’s driving me crazy so thank you for sharing ! :-)
I was looking at their post of every trailer and kept pausing it at 11:36. I only see EVE adn the enemy puppet monster. Am I missing the white haired girl?
Oh yeah, and the Lily / Adam conversation - I think it's about Adam telling Lily he thinks she is not human. I think there's going to be a through theme of "What does it mean to be human?" in the game. Perhaps because we know Adam is an actual natural human, and we think Lily, Eve, Tachy, etc. are AI/artificial in some way, they are having a debate/argument about that.
@@unlistednaytiba in the shot right before it shows them fighting it just looks like it could be her, I mainly think that bc their chest pieces seem to match but it truly could be me just wanting it to be her loll
Thank goodness we don’t have much longer to wait ! Literally getting a ps5 this week🤭
I have subscribed
Good content Creator
Really appreciate your comment and sub. Glad you're here.
very nice computers in the devs room
Dude i had the exact same theory about the mother sphere and Eve
For sure. Now that the game's out, didn't quite pan out that way, but it was close
I believe the owner said they have another ip next but Stellar Blade 2 will probably happen 😁
If it sells well for sure.
BTW, there may or may not be a way to access the area after the parking lot in the demo. I'd also disconect my ps5 from the internet if I try to do it
I can't believe I missed your comment here brotha. Hopefully I'll see you on the next one :)
OMG I want the Vinyl for this sooo bad! I don't even have a record player LOL But I want it! XD Really hope there's a way to get this Stateside eventually
Yes I am waiting for them to release some physical collector's stuff for us fans.
Great stuff
heck yea. I appreciate your comment.
Stellar Blade vs Final Fantasy VII Rebirth for GOTY
Dragon’s Dogma 2 is another contender
Either way that would be amazing.
@@bry_- has too many technical issues for that i assume
10:45 another viewer also commented, there's a hitch in video/audio
Aww dang that sucks. I just scrubbed my video to check, and my local file is good, must be something on YT's end. I appreciate you letting me know.
Here is some more potential food for thoughts.
When you see the game logo, you can find there are also Chinese characters 星刃 in the background. 星(Stellar) 刃(Balde)
It becomes interesting when it comes to how the word is pronounced and written in Korean, (성인) as the Korean(Hanguel) spelling and pronunciation for this word are identical to 成人(성인, adult/grown-up) and 聖人(성인, saint)
Of the three different usage, 成人(adult) is obviously the most often used vocabulary, followed by 聖人(saint).
星刃 is perhaps the least used vocabulary. (As a mid-40 Korean, I have never seen it used in this way before.... almost, because my memory isn't perfect.)
As for people wondering why Koreans are using Chinese characters... It's because before Hanguel(Korean alphabet) was invented, people were using Chinese characters for vocabulary.
Nowadays we don't use them as often as before, but It is still used nowadays in several instances, such as when compressing lengthy expression, avoiding a possible confusion due to use of homonyms (especially in legal documents)... even to weird cases of someone wanting to look 'sophisticated or educated.' In the case of the last example, you could say it is somewhat similar to how British accent is treated in US.
Appreciate your deep comment. Pretty cool how everything turned out, now that they game is out, huh.
10:45 what happened here, the sound cut off for couple of seconds.
Yeah I went back and checked my file on my computer. I think it was with the YT upload.
The first image is a wallpaper, did you not notice the taskbar on the bottom the second monitor also?
Yeah that's what I thought as a possibility - maybe it's still important though.
Kim Hyung-Tae Took a lot of inspiration for this production from Alita Battle Angel,
Yep, a great influence
it's been mentioned in other comments I think
8:32 right display is Window's default photo app "Photos"
Yeah, possibly using it as a reference - perhaps a 2d reference from a concept artist for the zbrush artist to then build it 3d
16:47 maybe its an unfinish 3d model for Tachy, because the body shape and face seems to match🤔
Yeah regardless of the hair, it could be any female model. Could see it being Tachy too.
Had to pre order it. I am pissed that they didn't have a deluxe edition for physical, definitely a let down.
Yeah I feel the same way. Perhaps they'll release some post-launch official statues or artbooks once they realize how many people are buying this game.
I think it would be ironic, if everyone was made out of iron.
hahaha
Stellar blade is going to be my second platinum. I have only one in tales of arise. I just don't trophy hunt.
How do u know that it's your 2nd what if u cant do it
@@true_gamer39 Trophy list leaked. None of the trophies are linked to difficulty.
@@true_gamer39 i could use a guide? like i did with tales of arise
I'm still on my way to platinuming it.. did you get there?
other korean dev Neowiz also deliver great lore with their Lies of P, i hope this game deliver great lore too
Yes the lore is pretty in depth and we've only gotten the demo. After the full game, we're going to have a bunch more. I'm curious to hear what you think is better once Stellar Blade is out in terms of gameplay and narrative... Stellar Blade or Lies of P?
I hope we get that for PC soon too.
I imagine a company would port it after a period of exclusivity for PS. Hang in there :)
Hey I have some information to share with you, there is a reddit post about Stellar Blade titled, Stellar Blade Combo Essentials where someone goes deep into the combos of the game, just to get you interested there are 10 combos in the game, and this is why I love this game because this is like a hack & slash game.
Agree. The combos turned out to be really good right? My fav was the hold for a brief second to charge up a burst square.
Good vid
Appreciate your comment and feedback.
and we get no LP even when we go for disc edition
I set aside money for this as soon as the game had its second trailer. I cant wait to see the developers faces when this game exceeds expectation. Not just beautiful character but also has a a character who has debt which is a big ask from people we depend on today. I'm really excited for this game.
Totally agree. I hope the developers enjoy the period of time around launch to see how well the game does.
8:33 What do you mean? This is just Windows ' default photo viewing app. It's just to open and view images.
So what you see there is just a regular screenshot opened by someone on his windows pc. 😅
Yeah maybe its a rendered image from zbrush they are using as their wallpaper :)
While I also wish that no one over at Shift Up will be let go due to the end of the game's development, we gotta face reality: Shift Up mostly produces mobile games, which are low-maintenance and don't require huge amounts of people working on them all the time, and continuous patching and updating of a single home console game also doesn't require tons of staff.
Unless they were to almost immediately start pre-production of another big game, it only makes sense to let most of the staff go, which is also a good reason to never create labor unions for video game developers and to mostly hire freelancers.
Their website mentioned a cross platform game in development so sounds like they're already cooking
Yes, like @BeeLy1011 stated, they have some work in that. Also, it sounds like they are doing some post-launch content in the form of outfits and small updates, such as the boss-rush. I hope they do some full story DLC's soon.
Here's to hoping they can port it to the PC ASAP!
Keep dreaming 😂😂😂😂
@@Mr.Chimpazee It'll happen.
@@bliglum No chance my friend 😆
@@Mr.Chimpazee Why not? Many other PS5 games have been making their way to PC lately.
You're going to get it soon once the exclusivity deal with Sony is over.
I feel fishy but different approach for staff. They clearly showing off. XD
We need steam release😭😭😭
They are really relaying heavily on Nier Automata in turns of the story in this game. The similarities are everywhere. Which isn't a bad thing, because Nier Automata is an excellent game. Though I really hope, that they don't make it too much of a copy
At least, This video is not like Nier.
Shift Up: game goes gold before it's even released
Ubisoft: game is ridiculed and shamed before it's even released
If any company is going to suffer from layoffs, I think we all know which one it will be.
10:44
When Tachy's arm is cut off, you can clearly see it is hollow metal. Meaning?!
He got all of them a ps5!? Now that's generous!
260 staffs
Eyes or cameras they saw.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
9:00 that's microsoft photos xd
probably making using the image as guide to make the 3d suit
Yeah you are right.
I'm sad that I won't be able to play it on PC.
You're getting it soon. As soon as the exclusivity time period is over.
I'm an atheist but I really love seeing any kind of religious lore in games, if done well. Reminds me of the old show Evangelion.
It would be fun to watch all cosplayer cosplay all EVE'S custom and I'm ready for that 😎
Yes definitely got to head to a video game convention soon.
Great video
I would like to add a new perspective on Lily name due to the name Lilth isn't in the bible.
In 1 Kings 7: 22 (in the KJV and ESV), they use the word "lily-works," meaning the works that glorify God.
Given that Lily is an engineer and she shows signs of upgrading EVE's equipment, it makes me believe this verse is where they get her name.
Appreciate the comment and feedback.
you're right on that one, yes I can see how that could definitely be taken and applied to our lily we see in the game.
I appreciate your response. Honestly, do.
Question: Will you be making a video on the BTS Trailer of Stellar Blade? I would like to see what you get from it.
12:15 she can fix me.
This girls look like form DOA. 100% :D
The cheek clap-athon can come any sooner
@12:04 no you don't but y'all complain about it anyway
gone gold means it can be played start to finish in west maybe in asia its a complete product with polish on top ? they are def not getting layoffs with the success of this game on top of the boss man being a decent guy. yep its another angel may cry bayonetta 1 ultra good hype release, same vibes.
gone gold in eastern studios means they already have the master copy ready to mass produce.
Yeah I'm hoping no layoffs. After watching the God Of War documentary, I learned that when I game goes gold, the development studio has completed their like "base copy" of the game and they are ready to print and ship it. Appreciate your comment :)
I'm a cheap gamer but this is the first game I've pre-ordered since Halo 2 and the first 70 dollars I've paid for a video game in my life. This game represents many things that are important for me especially the Bible references. Also the anti-woke stance of this developer and of course the game game is beautiful and fun. We need to be vocal and vote with our wallets to support the developers that really deserve it because video games and gamers are under attack by evil ideologies. God bless you all. 🙏
Yes I'm curious how Shift Up has implemented the Christian influences in their game. It'll be nice to see once it's out. And your Halo 2 reference brought back great memories for me too... Me and my college roommates would be on that all day and night. I hope Stellar Blade is amazing for ya.
I would be interested to know what makes you think EVE and other airborne squads are AI in biological bodies. That would be an interesting twist on cyborg idea.
I was kinda close... haha. hope you enjoyed the game.
First is a desktop screen lol
Pretty cool how it was the Colony tho right?
@@unlistednaytiba it was, the original ending
Evangelion!
Trust me Great thing is about to happen!❤😍😘🤩🥰 I am going to buy it and I'm going to spend $80
I did too. I have never done so on any other game.
I preordered this game to support it and to stick it to the woke narcissists, even though I don’t have a PS5 yet. I have an Xbox Series X, but I plan to switch to Playstation when the PS5 Pro releases.
Please bring it to PC... 😆
Dark Souls?
They did confirm that eve is a cyborg
Did they ? What article was that
It was a qna that they say eve is cyborg
@@user-km8nx7xi5t "In the world of Stellar Blade, Eve is an airborne squad member from space, but she is human. She has a secret that distinguishes her from her coworkers (that Kim and Lee were not ready to share), but otherwise, she is at the same level as the other members of her squad." - Game informer March 26 2024 at 3pm.
She's human.
@@mrshadow7738 lol makes me wonder where these people are hearing this cyborg sht lol genetically enhanced sure but cyborg lol I assumed she was human even though I have heard thousands speculate that she wasn't lol
@@user-km8nx7xi5t She does have cybernetic implants like most cyberpunk humans. The exospine and gear sockets are said to be those implants (Item descriptions) In a way she is a cyborg however she certainly isn't an android/robot. The CEO of shift up and director of the game states that she's a human so treat her like an enhanced human I suppose.
18:10 - I'm sorry but that dialog is so bad lol. It's really the ONLY thing that has me worried. Hoping it's just the EN that is like this as the KR voice I've heard is much better.
My only issue with the performances stems with Adam’s - the actor’s delivery is exceedingly stiff; despite being the only character in the scene that’s supposed to be human! The localization isn’t terribly offensive to me otherwise; just a bit on the dull side… 😅
Stellar Blade gone gold. So did Cyberpunk 2077. Look what happened with that.
Going gold means nothing anymore.
With video games, going gold just means that development for the vanilla game is done... Not to be confused with the amount that has been sold :)
@@unlistednaytiba I'm a game Dev, I know what it means when a game has gone gold. I was talking about sells, this ain't the music industry.
You are missing the point I made.
CD Projekt Red delay the game several times to fix the bugs then Cyberpunk 2077 went Gold and they still released it in a buggy state.
So they just provide that "going gold" means nothing.
But they're going to keep using that "standard".
So thicc
His employees didn't have PS5s already? Seriously?
Is that surprising? not everyone wants or needs a PS5.
He bought those PS5 waaay back in 2021 after release of PS5, in times when was shortage on consoles. So it's pretty much old information :D
fyi, console market in s.korea is small, very small, while mobile & pc are the king.
@@tonypee3465 Oh right i forgot all about that!
bogo i na kam tek jin.
Imagine being jealous over a fictional character
maybe the final boss of Stella Blade is a very ugly female monster called SweetBaby…
I think EVE is a clone.
SHIFTUP is pouring money for its possible IPO. Most of the reviews are manipulated and sponsored with small money.
They will have to hire more people after all the money they are going to get from this thing. Right place, right time. Gamers are using Stellar Blade as the tip of the spear that we are going to shove into the heart of the garbage nonsense that is "woke." Hold the line, gamers. We are in control, not the crazies.
Shift up created a game based on imagery from The Bible. But failed to interpret it.
The book of Ezekiel and its imagery described in it is a vision from God to Ezekiel from the future. God revealed to him the Airplane, Helicopter, Rocket, Astronaut, Jet ect,. Thus Ezekiel having his faith strengthened in God indefinitely.
