Heavenly Sword demo dated News

News by Robert Purchese

23 July, 2007

A Heavenly Sword demo will be available to download from the PlayStation Network this Thursday, Sony has confirmed to Eurogamer this morning.

It will give PS3 owners a chance to try out the hugely anticipated action game from Ninja Theory ahead of it's projected September release date.

Heavenly Sword is pitched one of Sony's biggest games of the year, and features talent like Andy "Gollum" Serkis and WETA Studios - the visual flare behind Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings.

We recently had the chance to get to grips with the title and see how it was shaping up. Head over to our first impressions of Heavenly Sword to find out what the fuss is about.

I guess it is the E3 demo though which it feels like I've played for months already :)

You just told everyone! :/

Can't wait for the demo, good stuff! Wasn't the US supposedly be getting it earlier, or was that mere speculation?

JMM Heavenly Sword, is made if the UK so I'd assume SCEE have the upper foot in these type of things.
That said SCEE acts as SCEA's bitch from time to time so who knows...

Bah I'm all over the place.

Yippee, something to look forward to on the PS3... shame it's not an actual game that I can *buy* though... :(

This is the game I want a PS3 for. As soon as there's another couple I'll get a PS3 until then I'll just wait.

And oh dr_shambles all this game looks impressive I can see no reason why this couldn't run on the 360, aside from the hours of cut scenes they've stuck on the disc preventing it fitting on a dvd.

The cut-scenes are realtime and doesn't really that much extra space (apart from dialogue).

"The hell you on about Rex? "

Something illegal, I'm sure...

My bad, I got the impression that the cut scenes weren't in game. If they are then, there is no reason this couldn't work on 360 and wish it was available (which it never will be as it's owned by Sony)

Dammit - must get a bigger broadband package. Already blown/wasted half my limit on The Darkness demo.

Rex, agree it's probably possible to do it on the 360. I'm not a PS3 fanboy as got one of those too.

Does anyone know if it supports motion sensing?

@RexRunti: The developers claims that the amount of data in HS is way to large for DVD9, so it basicly means it has to be made a multi disk release if it was to be release on Xbox 360.

Resident Evil 4 was a multi disk release on Gamecube and I don't think I even noticed.

Let's face it, having to change a disk half-way through a 12+ hour game is hardly a deal-breaker, is it?

(I'm also a PS3 owner, btw)

@Beano

Devs always say that especially if it's a PS3 exclusive, I remember one of the devs for one of the grand theft auto games was talking about how it barely fit on a DVD9 for the PS2 by the time it was released on the XBox it was just over 2GB.

Anyway a few more games as promising as this one, Sony, and I'll get a PS3 (if this was a launch game I may have got one then).

I dunno Heavenly Sword looks to have a lot of variety in it.

Plus it's story driven.
