Stellar Blade was a massive success for Shift Up and Sony Interactive Entertainment but like every masterpiece, it has its fair share of flaws. Fortunately, the developers took these criticisms to heart and worked on certain areas extensively that will roll out during this upcoming patch.
The gaming community was enamored by the project and its ambitious nature and futuristic atmosphere. However, the game launched with a few undesirable bugs that will be snuffed out with this new update and it is a positive indication of support for the game’s foreseeable future.
Stellar Blade Patch 1.003 Will Resolve One Annoying Issue The days when the compass would constantly disappear from the Hud in Stellar Blade are officially numbered.
While the developers announced some exciting projects for the future that the gaming community is not overly fond of, this is the kind of news that has piqued the collective interest of every Stellar Blade player.

Helldivers 2 is a video game about intergalactic soldiers equipped with futuristic armor to take on hostile threats. It is only fitting if the players can customize the look or appearance of their character and allow them to reflect their personalities and stand out from the rest of the squad.
It can be annoying for a game to not have the option to remove pieces on a character’s outfit. Fortunately, Shift Up managed just fine by implementing a feature where Eve’s ponytail can be adjusted if it is ruining the look in Stellar Blade, which should be practiced by other developers.

Stellar Blade has been a massive success and the gaming community is already asking for more from Shift Up. The South Korean developer has proven that it has what it takes to develop high-quality console games, but will not keep itself tethered to one platform.

Stellar Blade has been released and the gaming community is delighted to see what Shift Up was able to come up with. The South Korean developers were strangers to console gaming but succeeded by ensuring its first attempt was perfect with a heavier emphasis on combat.
The game was a great first attempt and a lesson for the developers who want to do it right. Players are more interested in the gameplay than the narrative which prompted the team to focus more on the combat. The sacrifice paid off tenfold with universal praise from the community.

It’s not even been a whole month since Stellar Blade was released, and people are already clamoring for a sequel to the PlayStation exclusive. Shift Up has managed to create a complete gaming experience that is both fun and challenging and leaves players wanting more.
Sequels need to build on the foundations laid by the first and offer new experiences and mechanics that enhance the experience. The game offered a great degree of customization of the character, but one aspect couldn’t be changed much: Eve’s hair. This might be revamped in a sequel.
Eve’s Weapon Storage Won’t Go to Her Head in the Sequel Eve’s hair in Stellar Blade is more than just aesthetic.

Even before Stellar Blade hit the shelves, it was a topic of controversy in the gaming community. Some felt the exaggerations to the character’s body and the added focus on the jiggle physics were all the game had to offer. The idea was that the game would be a shallow fan-service title.
When the game was finally released, there were a slew of other controversies regarding the title. A lot of the positive and negative reviews were knee-jerk reactions that could not be counted as true opinions. However, as the dust has settled, people are beginning to appreciate Hyung-Tae Kim’s vision.
Stellar Blade Shows It Boasts Both Style and Substance Stellar Blade is more than just an eye-catching game.
Fan service as a way to sell games is an unfortunately common tactic in the gaming industry. Despite the offending titles not offering anything amazing gameplay-wise, they still fly off the shelves.

Stellar Blade was a triumph for both Sony and Shift Up. The South Korean game developers were able to successfully deliver a new video game in an industry that is oversaturated with online multiplayer games and managed to inspire others.
The vast majority of the players are most likely male, given the incredible and daring character design of the main female protagonist, Eve, but there are still female gamers who have also dipped their toes in this genre of gaming, and a different character makes it better for them.

Stellar Blade is a title that has been one of the most anticipated titles this year, and despite initially receiving flak from critics and the gaming fraternity for its art style, it was still appreciated for its core elements.
However, after the game’s reveal, many gamers dismissed the title, calling it a Nier Automata clone, and the comparisons haven’t ended even after the game’s release. While in hindsight, the hack-and-slash element and the female protagonist are the two common elements, they are fundamentally different titles.
The Similarities between Stellar Blade and Nier Automata Stellar Blade and Automata have a lot of things in common.
When one loads up the game, the first impression that it receives is based on its graphics. While both games look fantastic, Nier Automata came out in 2016, loosely eight years before Stellar Blade. Hence, the difference in graphical fidelity is noticeable between the two titles.

However, according to fans, there are important features this game lacks. Some of them are photo mode, sword customization, a veteran-like difficulty mode just like Call of Duty, and many more. But there is one feature that Shift Up needs to add in the next update of Stellar Blade.

Stellar Blade was fated for success even before release, and April has only proved that. While there were a ton of controversies regarding its protagonist, issues around censorship, and a lot of frenzied discourse in general, the game’s Metacritic scores show that underneath all of that, it’s a game worth a shot.
However, since its release, there’s been one aspect of the game that many feel is missing, and according to Shift Up’s CEO, Hyung-Tae Kim, it might not be a ‘missing’ feature for soon.

FromSoftware has been making soulslike games for a very long time. Games like Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring have become a part of very serious discussion amongst fans right now. It all started when the director of Stellar Blade announced that development on its boss rush mode was well underway. It’s a very recent game made by a very small new studio, and fans wonder what’s stopping Hidetaka Miyazaki and his team from doing the same.

Many people have raised their concerns about Stellar Blade’s character design and the physics in the game. A chunk of the gaming community claims Shift Up is utilizing unnecessary exaggeration to attract attention. It’s not an uncommon tactic, though it has been facing more criticism lately.
Well, it seems the controversy isn’t limited to just Stellar Blade. People are now speaking about exaggerated body movement in a genre where one wouldn’t expect such physics to even be a contributing factor. It seems farming sims are now also taking jiggle physics seriously.

Stellar Blade is the latest PlayStation 5 exclusive and it was a passion project from South Korean game developers at Shift Up. Director Hyung-Tae Kim had a clear vision for the company’s first major console game and wanted an epic title to accompany it.
The original title was quite simpler but what the director came up with has a deep mythology behind it. An ambitious video game deserves an equally ambitious title and it also sounds a lot better compared to Project Eve.

PlayStation users can finally get their hands on Stellar Blade, but not everyone who has gotten the game is happy. One would think it could be a case of the buyer’s remorse. After all, you can’t tell if you’ll like a game without playing it. But that’s not the case here.
Many people were eager to get their hands on the title, but a certain section is looking to get a refund for its purchase. The pushback has gotten so severe that it’s pushed Sony to do something it rarely does. What’s the reason behind this controversy? False advertising.

Stellar Blade is a new ambitious title for South Korean developers Shift Up and early reactions are indicating the game could be another winner for Sony Interactive Entertainment.

There’s been a fair degree of criticism lobbed at Stellar Blade. While some are subjective, such as the exaggerated character design, others are a bit more grounded in reality. Now, it should be noted that the majority of fans don’t view Shift Up or Sony as nefarious companies, but there are outliers in every group.
Given the recent row regarding a specific phrase included in the game, most have been forgiving of the lapse in judgment. But some gamers are not letting Shift Up off the hook easily and are even calling people to boycott the upcoming PlayStation exclusive.

Ever since its first reveal, Stellar Blade has been no stranger to controversy. Shift Up’s upcoming title has received its fair share of criticism for its suggestive and exaggerated character design. While one could explain that as artistic freedom or creative liberty, some things can’t be swept under the rug.

Stellar Blade is almost upon us, and fans couldn’t be more excited to see Hyung-Tae Kim’s vision come to life. The illustrator-turned-ceo has worked tirelessly on this project, and what we have seen so far has impressed fans and critics alike.
The animation and dynamic environments stand out the most, but attention to detail is not limited to just the background set pieces. A lot of effort and thought was put into the characters in the game, with one aspect that greatly extended timelines. It seems Shift Up was inspired by Rocksteady when it comes to nailing fluid textures.

Just a glance at Stellar Blade is enough to understand that it is designed for adults. Given the target audience, there is going to be content that many would describe as graphic. Any media containing such depictions has one sworn enemy: censorship.
While each country is different when it comes to censorship, developers end up making some cuts and changes. So, when developers announce their titles are going to be uncensored, the gaming community is understandably excited. That’s the case with Shift Up’s upcoming sci-fi slasher.
Stellar Blade to Release Uncensored Globally
No cuts were made in Stellar Blade‘s global release!
When it comes to securing product release, companies and manufacturers must bend the knee to many laws and regulations. Dealing with so many rating boards can get hectic, and if the developer is targeting a specific age rating, it may require significant changes to the game to achieve it.
