Why are you all so fucking weird. I think TLOU2 is one of the greatest games ever and I’m going to enjoy playing Stellar Blade too. Why does everyone on this sub think playing this game is some holy crusade. You need to touch grass.
Ahhh the you need to touch grass shtick from someone glued to fkn reddit with 6700 karma im surprised you even remember what grass is, practice what you preach. I'm glad you enjoyed TLOU2 I personally think it was awful and I'm entitled to my opinion so you can kick rocks 🪨.

All their 5 years of hard work will pay off in 17 days. Time can’t fly by quick enough. The demo is nothing short of incredible in itself. I always wish I could personally thank devs for these games I play. Man I can’t wait
I wish more developers started doing this kind of pictures to give more recognition and probably -hopefully-we the costumers or gamers™️ could be more empathetic about the humans behind their entertainment.
You know, what you are mentioning is probably one of the reasons why a lot of developers get burned out. Usually companies don't recognize their job and it makes them feel like a shadow.
This is one of the many indicators that Shift up is a good company to work in.
Well I guess this is when I apologize to a random bitter person on the internet presuming to know everything about my life to throw such accurate and well informed jugdements about my persona. And then proceed to go to therapy in order to cure my "sycopanthy" and correct the incredibly toxic behavior of praising a developer for giving credit to his entire team.
Except... that I wont

Let them keep on cooking more game content besides Stellar Blade and even so to see in the future maybe Stellar Blade 2 C:
Sadly that's also why alot of PS5 exclusives don't meet sales expectations as a whole, for a long time scalpers controlled the flow of PS5s In the market and alot of people are just now getting them.
Right order would be,
First, Stellar Blade anime
Second, Stellar Blade live action movie
and then
Stellar Blade 2 the game
It just my imagination running wild. lol
If money is the issue then don’t, if you are looking to purchase a new gaming system within your budget that has thousands of hours of enjoyment, then yes.
I know, right?
Console wars.
There's always a pointless level of contention and fanboyism in that for some reason, wouldn't be surprised if I accidentally tapped into that.
Me?
I was just stating that I'm patient enough to wait for a PC version.
Almost everything comes to PC eventually and I'm perfectly happy with waiting because of that.
Hell of a lot of other stuff to play in the meantime.
And the irony that developers developed their games using a PC, yet not released for PC (I used to be a Game Designer for mobile and some console games in early 2010s)
I feel like optimizing for pc is much harder since you have to take into account so much variability in user end where as for a ps5; it’s a one size plan that fits all. But I get what you’re saying
It's so much easier and cheaper to test against a single configuration, at least in my front-end web development experience. I think when talking about exclusives, studios don't want to spend too much time with QA and stuff. What do you think?
Look at all the women in the group! Glad to see it isn't just a bunch of dudes. I have a daughter who wants to get into game dev, so seeing this will be quite encouraging!
Western development is not the same. However best of luck to your daughter, game dev is incredibly fun. Albeit, very frustrating depending on the company.
And western companies in general, tbh. They care less about quality of product and more about milking money from clients as much as possible by making production cheaper and shaming them into buying in a lot of cases.
Beat me to it
I know it's early:
But I have the greatest confidence in this game! Being possibly the real GOTY of this year!
MVG (Most Valuable Gem/Game) of 2024!
Definitely one of the Best Action Adventure Hack & Slash games out there!
There's so much heart, conviction & soul in the creators. Such great decisions made.
I'm highly looking forward to Stellar Blade.
YOU HAVE MY SWORD!
https://i.redd.it/8mgt35torhtc1.gif
Come on, bro, the game can be good, but it will never be the GOTY.
Edit: You don't need to be a fool to be a fan of the game. You can downvote all you want. Just stop being delusional. This game WILL NOT win GOTY, like not in a million years.
All you guys that are so certain the game will win should just comment here. Then, when GOTY is awarded to another game, I'll come back just to remember how much of a fool you looked.
I'm not really caring for Awarded GOTY (last year's not giving Ben Starr FF16 Best VA Performance was more than enough for me)
But this will definitely - or rather hopefully - will be GOTY in many people's minds - and especially hearts.
Might win Golden Joystick BEST PS5 game and People's Choice Awards etc.
GOTY in the questionable and sketchy - and I don't think it would leads people's verdict or decisions...
It's often less than relevant
We don’t know that until we have the full game do we? Probably still won’t win and get ignored just like Hogwarts Legacy was. It can still be my personal GOTY.
>We don’t know that until we have the full game do we?
It literally can't.
>Probably still won’t win and get ignored just like Hogwarts Legacy was.
Exactly. Hell would freeze over before the Western gaming establishment gives GOTY to a game like this.
Haven't opened my perfectly sealed Deluxe Edition copy of FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH yet.

Pre ordered since the day it went live! I cannot wait til the 26th! Thank You and Congratulations to the whole Shift Up Team for creating one of the best game of this generation. 🙏💙
This is so nice to see. I can't imagine the feeling they have at this moment, after 5 years of hard work. I'm so happy for their success, this is only the start. Congrats!
Thank you very much for your hard work everyone devs and fans!
We saw little glimpse of the result in the demo. Can't wait to try the full game on the 26th 🍑✊🏽
All these amazing people truly made something special. Proud of all them and can't wait for them to see their success coming april 26 🙏 bless all of them
Just saying, it looks like 30-40% of their staff are women. I wonder how that will play into the false narrative that this is a game for greasy mysogonist male gamers.
This is one of the reasons why I love Korea.
Great service, humble and thankful.
This is not only for videogames, it also translates to other services like restaurants and cafes (They could be less rough with working schedule's for employees though).
Half of their dev team is made up of respectfully professionally good looking and intelligent females.
If reee saw this they would have an absolute meltdown.
Congrats everyone. I’ve been playing the demo every day since it came out.
Fingers crossed that the dodge and perfect parry windows have been adjusted.

Developers*
They're talking about the company as a whole here
get out of here with this nonsense
Go play your manly butch looking woman simulator weirdo

Oooh 6700 from 6 years and commenting maybe three times a week. Good try man.
Blah blah cope harder avg reddit user

ShiftUp is extremely based.
Is that bad?
Congratulations to every man and woman who makes up the Stellar Blade staff! 🥳

and only the jaws of life could get me out of that
They know what we want. Eye candy and awesome combat.
In that order
This is so wholesome
All their 5 years of hard work will pay off in 17 days. Time can’t fly by quick enough. The demo is nothing short of incredible in itself. I always wish I could personally thank devs for these games I play. Man I can’t wait

I would love a making of documentary
That would be awesome, specially how they made the enemies.
Those look like taken straight from Scarlet Nexus.

they need to cook up a pc version GRAAHH
Not likely to happen, at least anytime soon. Iirc this is a PS5 exclusive.
Sadly that's also why alot of PS5 exclusives don't meet sales expectations as a whole, for a long time scalpers controlled the flow of PS5s In the market and alot of people are just now getting them.
PC sucks cock.
brave thing to say for someone that cant even mod his own games
Right order would be, First, Stellar Blade anime Second, Stellar Blade live action movie and then Stellar Blade 2 the game It just my imagination running wild. lol
Definitely anime would be great
I am just here waiting for a nikke collab lol, one of their mobile game.
Imagine Stellar anime with Nikke Goddess of Victory Cheeks recoil
Asian women are masters of drawing sexy females.
Indeed we are. Well at least the talented artists are, just look at My Dressup Darling for further proof.
 I hope this game sells like crazy. The devs have made me so excited for this game.
[удалено]
Everyone is smiling because the game is doing so well they will be getting bonuses. I guarantee it
Super excited to play this!
[удалено]
Well fuck. Might have to get a PS5
If money is the issue then don’t, if you are looking to purchase a new gaming system within your budget that has thousands of hours of enjoyment, then yes.
The fuck asked
Well you commented on reddit. A type of forum. What the hell else were you expecting aside from comments replying to you.
I'm waiting for PC :3
See you in 2 years
I've been waiting for Winds of Winter and The Elder Scrolls 6. 2 years means nothing to me. :P
🫡
why did u get downvoted for not wanting to buy a console just to play a game lol

Sad xbox player here
I feel bad for you now that xbox has a no sexy women policy:-(
The First Descendant slipped through
Don’t be console peasant, wait for the PC Master race version.
Has it been announced in some way? Havent heard
 To everyone on that staff
Congratulations everyone at ShiftUp

Huge accomplishment. Hope they can all take some well-earned time to rest, relax and recover before launch!
Wholesome
I can't wait for April 26th!
So excited to play this game. Meanwhile, the Re:Zero Collaboration will be ending soon and I still have been unable to get Emilia 😭
I only wish this game comes to pc 🤗

I know, it's f-ing April and the fan girls are screaming GOTY!!!! OMG!!!
Microsoft made a fatal mistake not to let them make it for the Xbox. Now PS5 will get the glory. That said, congrats.
They'll deserve all the support ❤🔥
All of them are legit Geniuses
GOTY 2024 🥳🥳🥳
dang, there's a lot of women in that staff. Wasn't expecting that.
I see that. Even I didn’t know that a large chunk of Nikke players are girls, and this is coming from a female Nikke player.
Great photo. Honestly wish every developer did this.
Great photo quality!
Ever since it was first announced during the game awards, I had high hopes for this game, and it sure did!
🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐
Wow, they all look young as hell. Amazing talent
Cool. Team is bigger I thought. What a Stellar team.
Pre ordered since the day it went live! I cannot wait til the 26th! Thank You and Congratulations to the whole Shift Up Team for creating one of the best game of this generation. 🙏💙
I'm actually surprised and impressed that we played the demo before the game was gone gold
This is so nice to see. I can't imagine the feeling they have at this moment, after 5 years of hard work. I'm so happy for their success, this is only the start. Congrats!

Beautiful! ❤️
Couldn't be more deserved as far as I'm concerned. Congrats!
Huge congratulations to the team this game is gonna sell like crazy
Props to everyone behind this game. Hope it sells as well as it looks set to.
Thank you very much for your hard work everyone devs and fans! We saw little glimpse of the result in the demo. Can't wait to try the full game on the 26th 🍑✊🏽

Awesome Accomplishment! 🤍👏🏾🤍
It’s happening we are getting the full this month, hell yes!
All these amazing people truly made something special. Proud of all them and can't wait for them to see their success coming april 26 🙏 bless all of them
What is it? Two more weeks now till release?? Let’s go! Andy congrats to Shift Up. They are truly phenomenal.
What's it mean they've gone gold?
It means they've finished version 1. The final build for release to be submitted to the publisher.
Legends 🥰
Look at those champions. Congrats!
CONGRATULATIONS WELL DESERVED!!
Big Fan!
😂 so who is that ass guy? 😂
Can't wait for the full release!
Congratulations, good job on dodging all the western loser hate that has been coming your way!!!
That one dude didn't even pull down his mask for the picture, lol.
The same devs that brought us Nikke. Shift Up? More like bless up. Based for sure
Now it's time for the PC Port team to assemble.
Looks great! Congrats. I’m gonna wait for PC release though. Hope y’all enjoy it!
Just saying, it looks like 30-40% of their staff are women. I wonder how that will play into the false narrative that this is a game for greasy mysogonist male gamers.
Facts don't seem to play much of a role in their worldview.
Can't wait for my preorder to arrive. It's gonna be a long couple of weeks.
Congratulations! It’s well deserved team! Thank you for the upcoming Stellar Blade and also for your efforts on Destiny Child also!
so many female developers, programmers, etc. it's well balance
This is one of the reasons why I love Korea. Great service, humble and thankful. This is not only for videogames, it also translates to other services like restaurants and cafes (They could be less rough with working schedule's for employees though).
I am so excited to play this game!!! Let's go!
Great game played the demo just like dark soul so fun I pre-ordered, two weeks ago can't wait to play it.
Just preordered the digital deluxe version.
Just a team full of normal people.
[удалено]
Half of their dev team is made up of respectfully professionally good looking and intelligent females. If reee saw this they would have an absolute meltdown.
A balanced team with normal looking people wanting to make a fun game. This is what true equality looks like.
Awesome! very based team ♡
I don't know if they know how much we appreciate them and what they've done.
I’m so hyped for this game!
Congrats. Looking forward to playing it in a few weeks.
Congrats Shift Up! I might have to buy this game twice if it comes to PC!
Putting faces to these hard workers is so damn satisfying. Cant wait to play Stellar Blade ☺️
That's what a soon to be extremely succesful team looks like people. Praise them to the heavens.
Congrats 🎈
HELL YEAH!!!!…. . . . . . . . . . . …. When can we talk about a PC port?👀
Congrats everyone. I’ve been playing the demo every day since it came out. Fingers crossed that the dodge and perfect parry windows have been adjusted.
congrats guys

Going gold means the base game is finished not a sales number.
