I have 2.1 speakers the voices were going left and right drove me nuts which is the purpose. I miss my 5.1 setup but don't miss the cords.

If they put the effort in for proper Atmos support then true 3D audio with a home theater system will be superior to binaural audio in headphones. I hope they did that.

I played Hellblade II on Xbox Series S without headphones and on a high-end gaming PC with headphones. The game is stunning in both formats, though of course the details and lighting looked a bit crisper on PC. Whether on console or PC, I...

There is not a single scene of this game that didn’t take my breath away, from the dark forests and the muddy roads to the snowy mountain trails and the endless, claustrophobic caverns. The puzzles and combat failing to blow me away might seem...

Getting trashed by waves Senu Opening where you have control over her takes about 5 minutes but I skipped a ton I'll play it over. This game was so Dark on my TN I couldn't see anything lol had to open up my Oled just to see what I was...

TSMC struggles to meet demand for CoWoS packaging, holding back AI and HPC chip production: report TSMC, is struggling to keep up with the demand for its chip-on-wafer-on-substrate (CoWoS) technology, TrendForce reports, citing Commercial Times...

Senua's Saga: Hellblade II is genuinely the most visually impressive video game I've ever played. Even separate from the photorealistic environments and set pieces, there are some absolutely gorgeous animations and cinematics all throughout. The...

The ASUS ROG Ally with the AMD Z1 Extreme can run Hellblade 2 on the lowest settings, but it's only enjoyable with the 25W Turbo mode. You'll have to make sacrifices to get the game to run, but it's possible to have a good playing experience on...

Yes approximately same duration, slightly more. Immersion is better in the new game. Maybe you can trial gamepass & unsubscribe later, if you like the game ?

The first game was great but very short at 6-7 hours. Appears its the same for this sequel but for $50??

Having tested Hellblade 2 on the Steam Deck OLED, I recommend sticking to playing this title on a gaming PC for now. Despite being the best handheld gaming PC, the Steam Deck struggles to handle Senua’s latest adventure, and the compromises...

Performance-wise, the game had only minimal stuttering. On an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and NVIDIA RTX 4090 GPU, I could play with DLAA, DLSS Frame Generation at 4K resolution and max settings with around 80 frames per second on average, gaining around...

a masterful example of an immersive gameplay experience level of immersion is something I’ve never experienced in any other video game. There’s no additional rendering, dip in quality, or janky animations when you transition from cutscene to...

It seems like Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 has split critics between those who are invested in the story and cinematic experience to those who want to see more gameplay improvements. Either way, it looks like it’s worth checking out for Xbox Game...

Apparently Microsoft imputes gamepass revenue share by the hours the game is played. Given that this is a relatively short game I wonder if it would be considered a success or evaluated by a different metric

If Hellblade 2 achieves only one thing it is to act as proof that there is absolutely no need for a new generation of consoles, despite rumours of Xbox planning to start one as early as 2026. It also proves that modern games don’t need hundreds...

DLSS provides the best image quality compromise of the lot, although it's still not without its drawbacks. Like all of the upscaling options here, it sometimes struggles with fur, clothing, and Senua's long, braided hair, and I did experience...

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is similar in many ways, but like its predecessor, it offers an incredibly memorable experience. With many of the same strengths and weaknesses of Senua’s first journey, some may wish the game had evolved a bit more...

All this multimedia blockchain ai stuff will revolutionize computing, I'm sure.

Seems like a hype & bubble to me. But AMD's market cap is now more than Intel's so maybe they know something that I don't ??
