Developer Motion Blur has announced Black State, a visually stunning new third-person action-adventure for PC that, if this gorgeous announcement trailer is accurate, mixes the espionage action of Metal Gear Solid with the reality-bending portal tech of Portal. It's powered by Unreal Engine 5.

Looks as if HIDEO KOJIMA could have some real competition in the Strand Game genre.

The problem for smaller devs as I see it as that they have almost limitless power now available, graphics-wise, but don't have the money to fill that canvas. They can't do the animations, can't do the faces, hair, texture, art direction... So the work ends up being in this crude, janky middle. Realistic in parts, but stiff, ugly.

Did IGN not play Portal? There's nothing like Portal in this from what I've seen.

Just reminds me of the keymaker doors from the Matrix.

Love how he just runs out and shanks a guy in broad daylight, and nobody gives a shit. Is it London?

It's game journo language, they have to namedrop something big to attract clicks.
But it could be worse, e.g. - "This new game is the MGS killer!"
