that's why i got the 1st game. the background work and build up really built the hype for me and enjoy it sooo much more. i'm really looking forward to the next one
It's great to have all this motion capture equipment, but I think it is really Melina's great acting performance that is bringing Senua to live. Well done Melina and all the other actors involved offcourse !
Agreed. I'd go so as to say maybe the first game benefitted from the comparatively shoestring budget. If not for those limitations, Melina may not have been given a shot and she proved to be a natural who brought the game to life.
Big thanks for Microsoft, for giving money to this great team. Performance capture studio are stunning. I’m so happy that one of my favorite game studio has such a cool place to work)
Graphics have gotten amazing on many fronts, but great facial performance capture has always been an aspect that was lacking. It always took me out of it. This, on the other hand, is excellent. Thanks for pushing the envelope Ninja Theory!
Absolutely. Even in the first game, it was what really drew you into the world and it looks like they have taken that and gone up ten fold! I can't wait to see what the second game brings.
Every behind the scenes update gets me more and more excited for this game. The love, care, and dedication you guys have to this project is a delight to see. Also really excited to see the cast of the game expanding more than before! Can't wait for the next update!
I know some were complaining the xbox presentation didn't have any action but I thought it brought back that anxiety of the voices very well. Also, that part when Senua was crawling through that enclosed area triggered my claustrophobia so already this game is setting off emotional reactions. At first I was worried about how on earth this game was going to top the first game. I thought for sure it was lightning in a bottle. A total one hit wonder that could in no way be replicated. Based on what I'm seeing, I will be pleasantly surprised. Well done. :D
It's such a crime that NT isn't recognized for how revolutionary they have been to performance capture as a whole-the tech they used in the first game is now used everywhere And what they're doing here is leagues ahead of the much more expensive setups that big gaming and movie studios do. Once again, they pave the way for everyone else to follow.
I follow you since early stages with devlogs of hellblade1, i did not think that hellblade would become this amazing top AAA new gen game. im a huge fan,finished 3 times the first game and love the passion you guys give to this game. i can not wait for this game but i can wait the time it needs to be better than 1st and the most amazing tittle of this gen of consoles
I really appreciate the insights into production and the technology used! It shows how serious you are about making the best games you can. I think it's also very clear that Microsoft believes in you. I hope this game will be as unforgettable as the first one
please keep your style because your games are so refreshing and the story of senua is really good, I enjoy every second of the first game, the vibe , the atmosphere everything keep the good work and please don't change like other studios stay true to what makes u different from others, and I cant wait for the second game
I love it! Love everything about this game. Also love brilliant stardom acting...she always pulls me into the depths of such amazing feelings & wonders.
You're already calling it goty even though they've shown hardly anything about this game except "the graphics and animations are good". What a joke lol
Congrats on the new capture space, it looks incredible! The overhead projector to help with blocking and placement of props is genius, and there are so many other cool features that I now want to implement in my mocap spaces :D Thanks for sharing!
Olá sou daqui do Brasil 🇧🇷, e queria dizer que o trabalho de vcs é incrível!!!. Zerei hellblade 1 no xbox Series S é que jogaço!!, ansioso para Hellblade 2 com grande orçamento da xbox é com pessoas tão incríveis desenvolvendo 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰. Vcs vão ter meu voto para o game do ano de 2024:)
The passion I see is what hypes me up so much about this game. The amount of effort being brought to make this masterpiece possible. Cant wait for 2024
Im really glad that the producer teally get what the game is about, performance and immersion, and also other ppl get to talk about their work and why it is importance to have a "workeable environment". It's fod to feel like this game is fun to make in a time where the game making industry is really not at its best.. take care of you all Ninja theory, i really love your job and i sincerelly hope that one day, i get to work for you ^^
I'm so excited that this time around they have the capability to build cinematics with whole groups of actors including Melina. I think they did an absolutely brilliant job with the first game but being able to see Senua surrounded by and interacting with other characters will be a really cool way to expand the story.
So I still play Xbox one.. This game is literally the one game I'll move over to the current Gen xbox, the first game is honestly my favorite game I've ever played, I'm 26 now and I've been playing since I was around 10. Honestly you're all Amazing and the game is phenomenal 🙌can't wait for this new one
Your team is amazing, i think this time and age where all the games are just mindless games for entertainment what you are doing can change people's perspectives on many different subjects. This is true art how i see it because you didn't expect to create a game for so many people because that could be easy just make a action game, but you did for for people to learn something and something you wanted to create out of love without expectations. A lot of people wanted more gameplay or combat but for me this capture beautiful the spirit of Senua, about mental health, trauma, psychosis and the esoteric.
Thank you for this insight. I would love to see and episode about the sound design and one about the music and cooperation with Heilung for the soundtrack.
Melina tiene la gracia y la fuerza para darle vida a senua. Tremendo mérito ganar un premio, no es actriz pero lo ha hecho espectacular, simplemente se merecía ese premio. Ojalá repitan goty e interpretación, que ganen muchos premios más 👍
Ich liebe Hellblade, das Studio macht nen super Job, die Grafik ist ein Brett und Melina ist einfach sensationell....aaaaber warum sehen wir bei nem Spiel was 2024 erscheinen soll bisher nicht ein einziges mal richtiges gameplay oder nen Ausschnitt von einem Kampf? Entweder es ist so gut und man will sichs für eine Präsentation als Highlight aufbewahren oder es ist eher so meehh.
We get it that you folks have all the best technology, we get it that Melina J is amazing. We get it, we really fo, seriously. The fucking bird poop in this game is going to be more real than life it selfie. The only thing we don't have a clue so far is how this game is going to be in terms of being a freaking VIDEO GAME! Please, give us a gameplay. I really don't have a single idea of what to wait. Hellblade is my favorite game, I don't even see the reason to have a part II, but once this is going to happen, I hope it's amazing
Is it just me or are all the developer videos just about motion capture? I feel like I've seen a motion capture promotional video for this sequel 10 years ago.
That is the nature of battling illness, though. It ebbs and flows. She’s both a strong warrior and prone to those weaker moments. That is, in fact, what makes her strong.
I am so happy for Melina winning a BAFTA for something that was one of her greatest fears.
Your commitment to this game is astounding! I hope we can get some combat gameplay very soon
Love the behind the scene explainations. Amazing work.
that's why i got the 1st game. the background work and build up really built the hype for me and enjoy it sooo much more. i'm really looking forward to the next one
*explanations
Every time I see a ninja theory dev diary, I'm amazed, inspired and impressed. So excited for Hellblade 2.

I've been saying it for 2 years already: Hellblade II will be GOTY 2024. I guarantee it

There are so few dev teams that are as communicative and smartly ambitious as ninja, genuine inspirations
Completely beautiful. So exited.
The dev diaries were the best part of following the first game.

I'm so happy to see that this project hasn't been forgotten. I can't wait for this game to come out ❤️
Masterpiece! Thank you for this game guys. Y'all awesome!
One of the, if not the absolute best game studios out there. Good job guys, show everybody how it's done
I’m so grateful to be alive to play this. ❤ I can’t wait.
Tyvm for the vid. Really looking forward to this.
Love updates like these and the podcasts, cheers!

When I look forward to the dev diaries just as much as the launch shows how much I love what these guys/gals do😅
I'm in love with you guys! I love Senua and everything you create!
Can't wait! But please take your time! If you're happy I'll be just as, if not more, happy with the final product!

Each new video manages to make me more hyped when I don't think I can get any more hyped. I'm trying to temper my expectations, but it's getting hard.
Excited for the audio diary
Thank you for this insight.
I would love to see and episode about the sound design and one about the music and cooperation with Heilung for the soundtrack.
So have you actually made anything? What stage are you guys at? Just experimenting? No release date? Am I missing something?
It will be released next year
@@LucasSilva-oe4ov Thanks!

What is the difference between The Ninja Diaries and Development Diary.. hope there is a soundtrack episode.
Grazie a tutto il tem per il 2 capitolo di senua bellissimo e spero facciate il 3 capitolo. Ma quando in remake di Evelyn s. E enslaved. ❤❤❤❤❤
Good work guys but damn.. you know people want see the combat system gameplay!

PLEASE SHOW COMBAT
Why does Will Potter look like META human at the start XD
I wonder who those other characters are, the ones with Senua at 2:31.
🥶🥶
Can i be a "boat rig" guy?
That looked fun 6:48
We get it that you folks have all the best technology, we get it that Melina J is amazing. We get it, we really fo, seriously.

Like for real. So many fake bots all around praising basically nothing
I feel exactly the same way. It didn’t need a sequel. I hope this one is solid.
👏🏽 ❤❤
Is it just me or are all the developer videos just about motion capture? I feel like I've seen a motion capture promotional video for this sequel 10 years ago.
Looks great. Still bummed I won’t be able to play it when it’s released. :/
Why
whos the male voice actor? sounds like christopher judge
60 fps?
How can I get hired to be a performance actor?
Thats great and all but where's the expansive combat gameplay?
See you in 2024
Why arent you showing combat
⏳
I do find it kind of strange how she was teased as a strong, converted warrior initially, only to come back to her weaker self in later trailers : \
True
That is the nature of battling illness, though. It ebbs and flows. She’s both a strong warrior and prone to those weaker moments. That is, in fact, what makes her strong.
vr?
Bruh why do all this instead of just showing combat?
