As one of the year's first major AAA releases inches ever closer with Monster Hunter Wilds, Sean and Marc delve a bit into the indie space as they discuss the latest ID @ Xbox showcase and the Annapurna Interactive showcase as well. Were there any games that stood out? Any that got them super excited for their eventual release? Sean certainly has quite a few from both. Could Neowiz be hinting that Lies of P: Overture is co-op? Also, in a quiet week for gaming news, Microsoft made some waves by introducing their A.I. gaming tech called Muse which featured a demo using a rather maligned Ninja Theory game Bleeding Edge. Is there a worry about this leading to job losses? Or is this more of a positive as a way to bring back older games and keep them available on modern consoles? Plus, NetEase makes some weird decisions after announcing great news for Marvel Rivals, a former Nintendo Sales employee says the Summer is when we see Switch 2, Ubisoft suffers another blow with Assassin's Creed Shadows, Sean has more to say on Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, and more!You can also watch this episode in video form on the W2M Network Youtube Channel, please give us a like, comment on the episode, and give the channel a subscribe and follow as well: https://youtube.com/live/6MhLht6Y10cListen as a podcast and give us a review on these platforms...

This week, Xbox unveiled MUSE, a generative AI model aimed at boosting creativity and possibilities for gameplay. Published in the journal Nature as well as announced by Microsoft Research, the Xbox team shared findings alongside Ninja Theory on what this new AI model that was trained on Bleeding Edge could accomplish. In the extensive write-ups, we learn about the principles of this AI model, what Xbox's mandate is for it across their first party studios, and even get teased a bit on what it could mean for backwards compatibility. However, is it all sunshine and roses here for Xbox's new approach to game development? The push for AI is on more than ever and it's no longer a matter of "if" but rather "when." Like any tool, its public perception will be dictated by how responsibly it is handled. Joining Matty this week is Brad, to clean up the AI mess, and dive into a whole bunch of other Xbox news. We follow up our last episode's conversation on Avowed, dig into the future of Obsidian, mull over yet another Phil Spencer interview, and plenty more in what is bound to be divisive subject for many listeners.

Guest host Mark Kilborn jumps in to talk with the sound team behind the amazing journey of survival through Viking time period Iceland, in the game Senua's Saga: Hellblade II. This adventure from publisher Ninja Theory, follows our main character as she unknowingly deals with psychosis, including many auditory hallucinations. The audio team had their hands full to translate these hallucinations from inside a character's head into something the game's players could understand and react against. David Garcia Diaz (Audio Director), Alessio Mellina (Technical Sound Designer) and Daniele Galante (Sound Designer) discuss the entire soundscape from voices that were manipulated heavily, to their use of binaural audio, and how the music interacted with the rest of this complicated mix.Check out Sound Ideas latest library, General Series 6000 Extension 12: www.sound-ideas.com/Product/2459/Ge…00-Extension-12 Full Details on the Tonebenders Los Angeles Sound Design Meet-up, Presented by The Motion Picture Sound Editors Here: tonebenderspodcast.com/tonebenders-s…sign-meet-up/ Episode Notes: https://tonebenderspodcast.com/301-hellblade-ii/ Podcast Homepage: www.tonebenderspodcast.com This episode is hosted by Mark Kilborn

DC and Darius give us their first impressions of Ninja Theory's Hell Blade 2. The graphics are phenomenal as expected but for the most part, the rest of the game falls short. From the combat to enemy encounters nothing stood out to DC. As beautiful as the combat movement is, the two-button system can become boring after a few encounters. It's a decent game but not necessarily what Xbox needs.

Now, Ninja Theory, under Microsoft's wing, delivers the sequel: Hellblade II.Celtic Warrior's OrdealReprise your role as Senua, the fierce Celtic warrior burdened by her psychosis. Embark on a perilous quest to liberate your kidnapped villagers from the clutches of Vikings. Brace yourself for a harrowing journey that transcends typical action-hero narratives, delving into the darkness of Senua's mind.A Symphony of SufferingHellblade II isn't your average action game. Senua's internal battles with visions, voices, and depression are central to the experience. Expect a blend of exploration, puzzle-solving, and sword-wielding combat woven into a narrative tapestry. Forget complex character development or weapon upgrades – the focus is on Senua's raw struggle. Prepare for repetitive combat sequences punctuated by moments of intense swordplay and environmental puzzles that involve deciphering runes or manipulating surroundings with mystical elements.A Feast for the SensesHellblade II shines in its meticulous portrayal of Senua's psychological state. Witness the torment in her eyes through detailed facial expressions. Immerse yourself in the world through haunting soundscapes and captivating voice acting.Critical Acclaim, Divided OpinionsHellblade II prioritizes a story-driven, psychological experience over adrenaline-pumping action. If you crave narrative depth and emotional resonance, this game is for you. However, be prepared for a relatively short journey (around 6 hours) with a €50/$50 price tag.Reviews are generally positive, commending the game's storytelling, atmosphere, and visuals. Critics highlight the innovative portrayal of mental health, but some find the combat repetitive and the gameplay lacking variety.Here's a glimpse of what reviewers are saying:IGN: Praises action sequences and psychological storytelling, but critiques combat depth.PCMag: Labels it an "interactive arthouse movie" with superb storytelling but shallow combat.GameSpot: Commends visuals and sound design, but finds the story and gameplay shallow.Metacritic: Critic score: 80, User score: 7.4.Polygon appreciates the mental health portrayal but notes repetitive combat.Eurogamer highlights atmospheric storytelling and emotional weight.Game Informer and Destructoid commend the emotional and immersive experience but point out limited gameplay variety.The VerdictHellblade II offers a unique experience that blends psychological depth with a captivating narrative centered on Senua's harrowing journey.

Austin reviews Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2. Xbox had a lot riding on Ninja Theory deliving a banger with this game but unfortunately it doesn't live up to the  first one aside from a mega graphics upgrade. Brett also dives into xDefiant, the new shooter from Ubisoft featuring characters from all their major franchises such as Watch Dogs, The Division, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell and Far Cry. We also review Content Warning. A game developed by a few people and costing under 8 dollars, this game provides hours of fun with friends. Record something scary, record it and go viral. That's the pitch but unfortunately it rarely ever goes your way!We also talk about the reveal of Assassin's Creed Shadows. No gameplay yet but this game is set in feudal Japan where you can play either a female Ninja or a male Samurai. We're not sure how this mixture of characters will play into the Assassin's Creed lens, but we're waiting to see gameplay. We also look at the leaked footage of Deadlock from Valve. It's a hero shooter that mixes MOBA mechanics with a third person shooter game. It looks really good with a unique art style that has us intrigued.Show Notes:1:02 - Housekeeping2:23 - Senua's Saga Hellblade 2 Review: It's Boring.

They're set to launch Hellblade 2 this coming week, but much of the discussion around the game has been centred on Xbox's studio strategy and what 'success' now looks like for smaller games like Hellblade. In addition we were joined by Ryan and Joe from Airship Syndicate. Wayfinders hit the rocks when it launched into early access, which cooincided with publisher Digital Extremes shuttering their entire publishing division. Airship are now pivoting Wayfinder to be an offline (peer to peer coop) game with no microtransactions, so we chatted with them about the journey to that decision. Timestamps:00:00 Intro03:28 Xbox Talk31:40 User Question 137:48 AG1 (ad)40:22 Interview With Dom Matthews, Studio Head of Ninja Theory01:10:57 Factor (ad)01:17:16 User Question 201:24:24 Interview With Wayfinder Studio Airship Syndicate01:55:56 Incogni (ad)01:59:28 What We've Been Playing02:22:41 Show And Tell02:29:02 Wrap Up--Let's meet our hosts!- Jake Baldino (aka the Before You Buy Guy) is pretty much the most watched reviewer on YouTube across both Gameranx and his personal channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/JakeBaldino).

A nightmare year for Xbox continues. The latest chapter in this story is Xbox's shuttering of four Bethesda studios in Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin, Roundhouse Studios, and Alpha Dog Games. The message is clear that the experimenting days of Xbox are done as the strategy deployed by its leaders continues to fail. The focus is Call Of Duty, Fallout, DOOM, and other high profile titles while the future of surrounding creative studios like Obsidian, Compulsion, Ninja Theory, and others have uncertainty beginning to cloud them. It serves as yet another powder keg moment for the brand where fan patience has run out. Is it time for the Phil Spencer era to end? How is Hi Fi Rush considered a hit yet its studio is shutdown? Why is the leash so short for teams like Arkane Austin while 343 and The Initiative can afford to waste precious resources? Is it even possible for Xbox to restore the faith at this point? You have many questions, so do we, and one thing is for sure: Xbox is still finding out the answers to all of them.
