Heavenly Sword 2 concept art leaked

Heavenly Sword 2 concept art has leaked online, showing Nariko, enemy troops and more.

sinncross4257d ago

Man.. its amazing how many games Sony has cancelled (but maybe this is still on?)

Anyways, great looking concept art.

Also I do not think that Ninja Theory are the devs to ask... did they not have a fall out with Sony? (maybe I am wrong).

But who knows... would be great if some Japanese dev took their hand at it.

rdgneoz34257d ago

They didn't really have a fall out with Sony, its more like they bad mouthed the sales of Heavenly Sword repeatedly...

Ace_Pheonix4257d ago

It was such a fantastic and underrated game, I would have been upset too. It was just too early in the console cycle. I personally like it a good deal better than the GOW series.

B_Rian894257d ago

oh the irony. HS ended up selling more than Enslaved on the PS3 and 360 combined

koehler834257d ago (Edited 4257d ago )

I wouldn't call it a fallout. Sony owns the IP and Ninja Theory wanted to do their own thing after it. Ultimately the title was successful, but not as successful as it needed to be for either side to be really happy with it. NJ sure whined, bitched and moaned post-launch though. I can't imagine Sony would be in any rush to contract them again.

Considering where God of War is right now.. so god damn played out and in need of a break.. it may be a good time to consider a return for Nariko. I think Santa Monica is the obvious place for that to happen. It just can't happen while a God of War game is currently in production and in need of a marketing budget.

Sucker Punch could handle coding duties...if they made it more open world/sand box (to a degree) like Infamous series...I would explode with joy!!

chrisarsenalsavart4257d ago

Great cutscenes don,t make great games.
I personally found the controls lacking deph and the game was way to short.

sway_z4257d ago (Edited 4257d ago )

To illustrate just how capable the PS3 was in its early life cycle...the original HS still looks great to date!

If this is 'ON' I would very much like it if Sony re-issued Heavenly Sword with Full Trophy support prior to releasing HS2.

*I kept hold of my Original copy, and lack of Trophy support is the only reason I have not returned to it....

NastyLeftHook04257d ago

How long could it possibly take to put in trophies?

Forbidden_Darkness4257d ago

Well they would have to make the art assets for the trophies, than make a patch with those trophies and than submit it to Sony for approval.. So, it would take a good little while and they really have to reason to it.

Lord_Sloth4257d ago

I'm very curious as to who will get this game. At the same time I am very curious to see how Naughty Dog would handle an action title of this type.

A sequel would be great but the game's mechanics would need tweaking.

fOrlOnhOpe574257d ago

@ Lord Sloth
Heavenly Sword with the combat mechanics of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning would be a truly awesome proposition.

10 Games We Wish Wouldn't Have Been Cancelled

Many games have to travel through a long arduous journey before they can see the light of day and make it to the shelves. Unfortunately, some titles are not as lucky and end up getting cancelled. These are 10 games we wish wouldn't have been cancelled.

Roccetarius3327d ago

Prey 2 was Bethesda showing their true colours, unfortunately. The death of that was due to backhanded tactics in order to force an easy aquisition.

medman3326d ago

How about Rockstar's Agent?!?!?!

Spikeantestor3327d ago (Edited 3327d ago )

Was Prey 2 ever officially cancelled? I could have sworn Bethesda was trying to find another developer.

Anyway, not sure it counts cuz it wasn't technically in development but, Shenmue III.

darthv723327d ago (Edited 3327d ago )

You mean Shenmue III.

and what about games announced for platforms that never made it out but still released on other platforms?

Alien colonial marines on the wii-u comes to mind. despite its flaws, using the gamepad as a motion tracker screen just looked like a cool bonus.

edit: you made the correction. ;)

DefenderOfDoom23327d ago

I believe someday Bethesda will make Prey 2 . I hope after the new Doom game comes out , ID Software will make a sequel to RAGE.

Roccetarius3327d ago

Prey 2 looked pretty damn good even from the E3 showing. It's not often we actually get a Bounty Hunter game.

WizzroSupreme3327d ago

Sure wish that awesome Avengers game could've gone all the way before THQ went under.

OhMyGandhi3327d ago

great list.
Stars wars 1313 and Prey 2 were particular blows to me.

"There has been some talk about another game, which we can only hope happens!"

Please Sony Make It Happen.

Treezy5043789d ago

Agreed, the game always deserved a sequel, hopefully this time it comes to fruition.

Crossbones3789d ago

I hope it's revealed sometime next year at the earliest.

dericb113789d ago

@Treezy504

Well we are getting a movie so I think Sony is going forward with the series.

Movie Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/t...

Treezy5043789d ago

Jepedillo3789d ago

@Prodigy_X
Perhaps at VGA's/VGX this year.

GUYwhoPLAYSvideoGAME3789d ago

hopefully she will be in less ridiculous clothing next time.

WillGuitarGuy3789d ago

Wut...It's not like she was flaunting her breasts throughout the entire game, damn.

GrandTheftZamboni3789d ago

@WillGuitarGuy

Maybe this is what GUYwhoPLAYSvideoGAME meant by ridiculous clothing: not revealing enough.

Sayai jin3789d ago

Blockade Ent.

Ratchet and Clank (2015) ... Production Company
Heavenly Sword (2014) ... Production Company

MisfitsInc3789d ago

i would love to see a sequel where the real "Child of prophesy" is born and he has to learn about what he is and eventually take the sword back.

Inzo3789d ago

This has boggled my mind for some time, why has it taken so long to even talk of a HS sequel.

Nodoze3789d ago

Should have made a seq to this instead of the last God of War title. Let Kratos rest.

kratos_TheGoat3789d ago

Let sony best selling character/series rest kill your self

HammadTheBeast3789d ago

GT*

Uncharted*

Then Kratos.

Inzo3789d ago

What is this blaspheme?
