"@drumbaby: so you've not played Ninja Gaiden then, right? ;) "
Well yes, I played the Sigma demo a few times....a curiously clinical affair with zero atmosphere....imho. No likee. No buyee...just yet anyhow. All that combat depth, yet no soul. :( Games like NG and especially DMC 3 may be deeper than GOW, but that doesn't make GOW shallow or 'undeep'. :) |

@Damage.inc - A troubled development does not mean it will be a bad game or that people shouldn't be interested in it.

"The depth would come from each of those combos having a time and a place within the game to best shine, so an experienced player can always use the right tool for the job (so to speak). If any one of 8 combos will do the job in many situations, that isn't necessarily what I would personally call deep. "
Doing the job doesn't necessarily mean twatting a boss until it expires asap. If linking combos together to get the highest chain involves knowing your combo list then I'd call that pretty deep too. And you can get insanely high combo scores in GOW...IF you know what you're doing. |

I don't get the hype... from all I've seen from Heavenly Swords... it looks to me exactly like God of War (just swap the hero/heroine)??

Heavenly Sword sounds like it will be amazing! Though the previewer seems somehow unhappy that it is a great game.?? This was a weird preview. Starting with the lame jokes in the begining and not sounding sincere with all the amazing stuff he was reporting like the face emotions etc. Usually, the previewers really jump on all the new stuff.
Anyways, this game is on my must buy list, now! |

This is so beautifully designed visually that it's high on my radar, and currently one of the very few reasons I'm at all interested in a PS3. However, the highest recommendation comes from Ninja Theory's last offering, the stellar Kung Fu Chaos on the Xbox. If there's one game last-gen that deserved more buyers, it's Kung Fu Chaos.

i don't think there's any doubt that this game will be a great technical showcase for the ps3.
but i've a nagging feeling that the gameplay is going to fall short of alot of people's expectations. time will tell... |

Hmmm... wonder if there'll be a crossover when her and Kratos get together for some red and white jiggy wid it action. Would be one hell of a QTE, that one.
3 hours of button presses and stick wiggles later... |

Hey, I didn't say GoW wasn't deep, just that having lots of moves in itself was no guarantee of depth. If you need to combine moves in specific ways to get the best combos, then I would agree with you that sounds like a deep combat system. |

I'm not a major fan of GoW, but I understand shed loads of people like it.
So how come people are levelling "it looks like GoW" as a critisism? Isn't kind of like looking at a car, shrugging and saying "looks like a Ferrari"? If its GoW with better gfx, no bad thing surely? |

Demo is nice but short. After seeing the trailers on the net it looked very simple but it's more challenging than I'd thought. Just button mashing doesn't work very well, like bdc said. There are some occasional framerate issues (in the second part at least), hope those will be ironed out. The throwing capability is quite fun.
Wether it'll be better than GoW remains to be seen. Will be quite hard to match that game's epic story and setting. The 3-5 minutes that the demo lasts surely doesn't provide the answer. |
