Of course Senua is not Hellblade III because there is not going to be both anymore.

I didn't look at the whole trailer, but the spots I saw gave me more God of War vibes than the Kratos Wife GoW.

Why would they show the trailer at their own show if they knew this was going to happen?

These decisions usually aren't made overnight. The trailer was released 8 days ago lol

Brutal stuff.

Should probably just change the thread title to "Senua is not..."

Haven't played any of these but I am not sure that it can even work as a more gamey game. As far as I understand the whole inner monolog thing in it, it is quite fitting to have limited gaming elements and it is just a rather passive experience. Trying to do "proper" gameplay does not fit everything. Heavy Rain and its weird inputs did not make it a better game compared to everything else Quantic Dream made. It just made it a little weird even somewhet distracting to control.
I'd say these games don't need to be more game, just a lower budget. No need to downscale to Gone Home levels, but a rather niche product being one of the best looking games can't make sense.

The problem with such a shift is imho that old fans might not want to go that route and new fans might be wary too since they never had it on their radar to begin with. They probably should have made a proper cut and introduce a new character, a whole new name, and maybe reveal very late in the game that it is within the Hellbalde universe or whatever.

I wonder if the game still comes out. Maybe a publisher helps out and Ninja Theory keeps the IP. They have all the assets created from the old games and can do most of the expensive work in-house since they have all that cool tech.

Sounds like the more important distinction is whether Ninja Theory is a developer or not.

if MS didn't want ninja theories IP they would have tried to sell them instead of let go...

I can see a situation where Microsoft lets Ninja Theory use the IP even if Microsoft keeps it. Microsoft has done this before for other developers.

I agree and let's not forget nothing is official as of now, maybe something gets worked out for the game.
