A new early Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II comparison video has been shared online, highlighting some of the improvements featured in the game over its predecessor.
The new video, which has been put together by Cycu1, highlights not only the obvious visual improvements but also character model improvements, animation improvements, and more.
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is among the best-looking games that have been showcased during The Game Awards 2021 show last week. The latest trailer showcased some impressive Unreal Engine 5 powered visuals as well as an oppressive atmosphere that is sure to make the game a remarkable experience and a battle against a giant troll that has been created in collaboration with Canadian visual effects team Ziva Dynamics.
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II launches on a yet to be confirmed release date on PC, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S.
The Ziva Dynamics artists began by building the troll in Ziva VFX, the soft tissue simulation software. This process was expedited by a combination of Ziva’s Anatomy Transfer tools and their proprietary generic male anatomy simulation. Ziva then added the troll’s torn, hanging skin flaps to the simulation as a coupled skin pass. At this point, the asset was complete with excitable muscles, jiggling fat, and wrinkling skin, all while being over 40ft tall in world-space so accurate gravity would influence on all of those anatomy layers.
