I must say i'm disapointed, i for one thoughly enjoyed Heavenly Sword and was hoping for a sequal in the near future.
As for the CG film acompaniment to a game. The idea leaves me confused, surely the only real reason to do this is that you couldn't fully express your story in the game, so had to put together a 90 fmv sequence to flesh it out. |

Nuts. I was hoping this was one of those 'bugger it up a bit first time round- nail their arses with the sequel' kind of things.

So much for having set up Heavenly Sword as a trilogy... probably a good idea to give the first (only) part a proper ending then.
As for the next game, all that talk about cinematic touch and a CG movie on the side doesn't fill me with optimism that there will actually be much of a game in the end.. not that Heavenly Sword was that long anyway. |

Don't do the movie! We all know what happened to the Final Fantasy guy who got too far up his own jacksie.

Heavenly Sword was a steaming heap of a game. Pretty cutscenes but utterly devoid of any kind of gameplay.
They should be developing a sequel to the awesome Kungfu Chaos instead of pissing their talent away on CGI. Sony's motto of 'style over substance' has corrupted them. We dont want vaguely interactive movies, we want proper games. |

@Tweakmonkey - I don't. What happened to him? Is he swimming with the CGI fishes?

Such a shite game. I gave it all the time i could, but in the end got really frustrated with the frame rate, tearing, and lack of genuine gameplay.

"Heavenly Sword was a steaming heap of a game. Pretty cutscenes but utterly devoid of any kind of gameplay."
I'm amazed when people say this, especially as the DMC series is hailed as something great. HS was loads better than any of the DMC games IMO, and it didn't have an annoying twat as a lead character either. No HS sequel, boo :-(

@peonic (and whoever else works for Ninja Theory; "come out of the developer's closet" night it seems :)
I just wanted to say that Kung Fu Chaos was great, total chaotic fun. I haven't played Heavenly Sword and that's only because I don't own a PS3, otherwise I'd be really tempted. I'm glad to hear that your new project is on the x360 as well. Good luck with it!!! |

@peonic - I know you're from Ninja Theory. ;-) Let the fools who don't believe that continue with their petty rambles.
So Sony own the I.P and have their own internal development studios (Liverpool, London, Cambridge... aren't Ninja Theory based in Cambridge? I wonder what Sony could possibly decide to do with the I.P. they own, a finished games engine and a complete tool set (level building ,etc.)? God forbid that they make the sequel!? The shock of it all !! Yikes! Will they make a better game? It will be an interesting story, that is for sure.

@T4RG4 -- As for one of their internal studios doing it. TBH I'm not sure they have the artistic talent (in sufficient numbers).
if I remember well, Sony studios lent plenty of artists to Ninja Theory to finish the game... they have plenty of skilled artists. But anywhere else, it's mostly about good art directors.

Heavenly Sword is a very entertaining game, although it could have been so much better. Hope that somebody else picks up development for the sequel and improve on it.
