New Heavenly Sword Screen Shots!

[Marcus Dublin]

Here are some new screen shots to Heavenly sword: http://www.shacknews.com/screens.x/ps3/Heavenly+Sword/1/heavenly_sword_070516/070516_heavenly_sword_02.jpg ; I hope it runs as good as it looks. I'm not sure if this is the title to get me to up 600 bucks for a PS3 but at least it'll be another good reason to consider it! I feel if they take there time with this game and if Sony handles it properly it could be there next god of war.

That's one of the few games I am looking forward to for the PS3. Sad. I just pre-ordered GTA4.

Not bad but... photo touch ups as well as some off lighting and shading are evident as with most promotional screen shots. Next GOW? Not in my view... Worth buying a PS3? Again, not in my view... What does it bring other than eye candy, yawn... another fighting game... If you wait for Sony to handle this properly you are putting your faith in the wrong people. Hopefully Ninja Theory (http://www.ninjatheory.com) will be the ones who are handling this properly. I really hope sony stays off thier backs and lets them do things their way because Kung Fu Chaos ruled! Hopefully they will also fix the weak AI that I experienced when I reviewed it. I will give it credit in two departments. Cutscenes and Audio... but unfortunately that doesn't make a great game. Definitely something to keep an eye on though...

I'm not sure if you guy's caught this but there's a Heavenly Sword anime inspired featurette , it's acts as a prelude to the main story. I believe there's going to be 6 small episodes and the first is a short delicious taste, check it out: http://www.gametrailers.com/game/1679.html

I watched all the trailers and damn, I have to say, this game looks really wicked. can't wait to try it out.

I'm not completely sold on the gameplay, but what impressed me most is the in-engine cut-scenes. I believe Weta / Ninja Theory are most likely setting a new standard for the kind of production value we're going to see in the near future. Facial expressions and body language (all apparently mo-capped) are amazing.

Although in the end I don't think I'd want to play the game for any longer period of time, but I'll bloody well sit for hours and behold the gorgeous amazing visuals while a friend plays :)
