VG Republic Writes: Sony has no issues when it comes to exclusive titles, with a number of games that most companies salivate to replicate. They have so many that one of the more popular early exclusives released in 2007, Heavenly Sword, has been allowed to lay dormant... until now. An animated movie has crept on to the scene, first reported by Eurogamer, of Nariko's story that will be a Direct-To-DVD release being published by Blockade aside the upcoming theatrical release of Ratchet and Clank. Why after six years though are we seeing our first sightings of Nariko, especially after Ninja Theory scrapped their sequel to the original to work on their remake of the Devil May Cry Series, DmC? The timing of the announcement for the Heavenly Sword movie is perplexing but the greater thought process beyond producing a movie that hasn't seen a game release since 2007 points, likely, to the fact that the Heavenly Sword sequel that once was is now looking probable for the PS4.
Many games have to travel through a long arduous journey before they can see the light of day and make it onto the shelves. Unfortunately, some titles are not as lucky and end up getting canceled. …
I'm going to have to pour a 40 for some of these titles. There was some great stuff in development here...
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.
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.
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.
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. ;)
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.
Prey 2 looked pretty damn good even from the E3 showing. It's not often we actually get a Bounty Hunter game.
Sure wish that awesome Avengers game could've gone all the way before THQ went under.
Junkie Monkeys: We recently spoke with Brad Foxhoven over at Blockade Entertainment about the Heavenly Sword movie. Brad has shared some exciting details on the prospect of another Heavenly Sword game, future movies, and a surprising twist!
"There has been some talk about another game, which we can only hope happens!"
Please Sony Make It Happen.
Agreed, the game always deserved a sequel, hopefully this time it comes to fruition.

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

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

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.
This has boggled my mind for some time, why has it taken so long to even talk of a HS sequel.
Should have made a seq to this instead of the last God of War title. Let Kratos rest.
Heavenly Sword is an IP that has a lot of potential, it just needs to separate itself from feeling like God of War in various ways. I bet on the PS4 they can do a lot more with the game's design and gameplay, making it a unique experience that does a lot of things that God of War doesnt.
Im hoping though that Sony gets people re-interested in the series by porting Heavenly Sword to PS Vita with Trophy support and bonus content like new modes and missions
I had a lot of fun playing Heavenly Sword. It does feel a little like God of War, but I think we can all agree this character is so much hotter. Also, I had a ton of fun steering the arrows and cannons. This game was so beautiful to see in action and is one of my favorites from the PS3.
If they create a sequel it would be a must buy for me, and from some of the comments I have read from people being burnt out on playing God of War maybe a new look is the change of pace they need. The way she moves as she obliterates thousands of enemies at the same time was just epic.
If you like my post or agree please bubble me. I like to share my thoughts and three bubbles is just not enough.
Sorry for begging.
Santa Monica would take over this series for sure..
Heavenly Sword 2....escaping hell like NT's original sequel idea would be amazing
Having it open world aswell would separate it's self from God of War more.
Nariko has to come back....but they better not use that god awful voice actress from Playstation All Stars.
