Hellblade The latest developer diary for Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice has been gifted to us and we get to see just how Hellblade's Senua came into being Life is always full of interesting twists and it looks like the development of Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is also another shining example of just that. At least that is the takeaway from the most recent developer diary Ninja Theory has given us all just before taking a well-deserved break for the end of the year. While it may not have much in terms of the gameplay for Hellblade, it is filled with an awesome story on just how we ended up with a version of Senua in the game that may have never been had it not been for some of those aforementioned twists spoken of earlier.

Hellblade Another update for Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice has been put out there and it gives us all an idea on why we won't see Hellblade until sometime in 2017 It is a rare thing that we get two solid updates for Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice in one week but it looks like this week has opted to deliver it all to us. I am not going to complain about this in the least bit as the more I can get on the game the better. The only real thing that we have to complain about here is that this is mostly Ninja Theory telling us why we won't be seeing Hellblade until sometime in 2017 and not a whole lot more. Read More...

They've all just been repackaged and sorts but I am pretty sure it is all the same. Read More...

Hellblade Another showing of Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is out there and this one shows just how Hellblade will be changing real-time cinematography for the better Even though there is still no release date for Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice I do have to say that with each small update we get I am overly impressed with what the team over there is getting up to.

Especial after seeing a more advanced version of Hellblade's real-time cinematic capturing software we are truly in a new age. Read More...

Read More...

Hellblade Hellblade has a new name as we are introduced to Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice and also shown how the dev team is making a virtual human in the gameplay It looks like we have a new name to settle on for Hellblade as it looks like a subtitle is going to extend it out just a bit further with Senua's Sacrifice. If I had to make an educated guess I'd say this is all based on Ninja Theory finally figuring out exactly where the story of the game is going and what we can expect when it finally hits the PS4 and PC sometime this year. Another great sign as I know I have been excited for Hellblade to come out since I saw the first bit that they ended up scrapping to improve upon. Read More...

Hopefully you remember that the Hellblade team is still on the small side and with only two animators here. Read More...

Hellblade It has been confirmed that Hellblade will be releasing during this year and that Hellblade will be hitting the two announced platforms at the same time Due to all of the weird speculation and rumors that the internet has loved for Hellblade there was some concern that the game was going to be delayed until 2017 as Ninja Theory stated that they had to scrap a few things in the recent months.

Hellblade The latest developer diary for Hellblade shows off how Senua, the protagonist of Hellblade, has had a body change to better fit their goals When they said they were taking things back to development for Hellblade they really mean it. In the latest developer diary for Hellblade Ninja Theory shows off how they took the original character the designed for the "vertical slice" and gave Senua a complete overhaul to make us see here as more realistic character when Hellblade finally makes it to the PS4. Still no word on when that will be but they sure as Hells are keeping us all informed on Hellblade is shaping up and the huge differences we can expect in the final product than where we saw it before. As I said this is another developer diary and not really new gameplay for Hellblade so those of you who don't happen to care about how your games are made and skip on down the road. Read More...

A new Environment Art Style Test for Hellblade has been released to show off what some of the levels and areas in Hellblade may end up looking like Last week people were worried that Hellblade was canceled or being completely re-tooled. This week we have another great look at how the production process that Hellblade is going through is coming along. In this instance it is via a nice, short video that Ninja Theory has put out there to show off how some of the game's levels could end up looking when all is said and done. I believe they labeled it all as in-game concept art to let everyone know what Hellblade is currently looking like as the art team moves toward the final versions of all of the assets and lighting effects we will be experiencing when Hellblade hits the PS4. Read More...

A bit of new gameplay for Hellblade has made its way online in the form of B-Roll footage but it does show off a few things for Hellblade Gamescom may be over now but that doesn't mean we shouldn't keep looking for more news to come out and thus is the case for Hellblade. It looks like some of the B-Roll footage for the game that will be used for all of the "preferred media's" video spotlights for Hellblade has been "leaked" online and then officially posted by Ninja Theory to make sure we all saw this PS4 beauty showing off the elegance of madness. Remember this is what Hellblade is about to some degree as well as mixing in Celtic Mythologies and stories to give us more than a lecture on insanity. That being the other major theme for Hellblade if you know your game history here. Read More...

The first bit of gameplay for Hellblade has been released as well as a bit on Hellblade's story and how it will be looking at mental illness We've been waiting a while for Hellblade to have some gameplay to show off and now the wait is over. The first gameplay trailer is here just in time for E3 and to go along with it and its amazingness Ninja Theory is also giving a taste of what the game's story is going to be all about. I have yet to be let down by a single game that they have brought to market and given what is shown below and talked about Hellblade does not look like it is going to end that streak. I think it has to do with the team always seeming to try and have some thought provoking elements in their games, even if the original story is lifted from other sources, and Hellblade is looking to actually tackle one of my favorite issues with humanity: Mental Illness.
