Ninja Theory’s Project: Mara may have the most realistic graphics ever

The makers of Hellblade have launched a brand new developer diary for Undertaking: Mara on Xbox Sequence X, to point out off its subsequent gen makes an attempt at photorealism.

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 was the primary ever footage of a recreation working on Xbox Sequence X, or certainly any subsequent gen console, when it was unveiled in December 2019.

That reality has largely been forgotten now as a result of the sport has by no means actually been proven once more and moderately than being a launch title its launch date stays unknown. It did look unbelievable although and so too does Undertaking: Mara from the identical developer – though when precisely that can be out can be a thriller.

Ninja Concept hasn’t actually described what Undertaking: Mara is but, however in keeping with them it is going to function ‘new methods of storytelling’ and goals ‘to recreate the horrors of the thoughts as precisely and realistically as doable’ – which appears to indicate it’s a survival horror with an emphasis on psychological scares and never horrible monsters.

The first peek at the game already seemed intriguing however now the crew has launched a brand new developer diary that reveals the entire expertise takes half in a single condo – one which exists within the real-world and has been recreating in exacting element within the recreation.

That will not sound like a lot to brag about however apparently it contains all the things all the way down to the mud and tiny quantities of damage and tear.

(Simply as a focal point, online game interiors are often extremely unrealistic when it comes to their dimensions, given the velocity at which most recreation characters transfer – so that you’re at all times given far more house to maneuver round, so that you don’t get caught on the furnishings.)

None of that helps to clarify what taking part in the sport can be like however the authentic Hellblade was additionally primarily based on analysis into real-life psychological well being points, and that actually didn’t preclude any fantasy parts.

It’s tempting to think about Undertaking: Mara is akin to a extra sensible tackle Silent Hill 4: The Room however we’ll simply have to attend and see.
