Heavenly Sword 2 – A Look Back at The Sequel That Never Happened

Newly uncovered concept art images gives us a fresh look at Ninja Theory's canceled PlayStation exclusive, Heavenly Sword 2.

Lexreborn218d ago

Imagine renewing Nariko by her being reborn into a land devastated by a wayward God. Mourning the loss of his son to a world he redevoted himself too. And Nariko is navigating the warped land finding herself with a new energy fueling her to save the people from this wrathful god. Only to find out that the god is no other the Kratos the Divine killer

Michiel198917d ago

Sony was like, if no one's gonna make a GoW killer, well do it our fucking selves

Lexreborn217d ago

Honestly I would love to just see Nariko a character that can traverse the multiverse of Sony IPs and explore alternative story lines that are contrary to the stories ending.

Heck to see Nariko in GoW universe then after the events of correcting that alternate reality. It places her in uncharted universe or syphon filter.

Create a purpose for the character that also gives praise to older franchises and let us relive them in unique new ways.

I was wondering how a sequel was possible with the way the first one ended. I definitely would love another game in the series, especially now that I know Sony owns the IP. I initially thought it was Ninja Theory who owned it. It really demonstrated the graphical power of the PS3 at the time. Some of the boss battles were epic, especially the final one!

-Foxtrot18d ago

They should have done a sequel, Anna Torv was great in it.

They could have easily revived her somehow.

Dandalandan11718d ago

They should've remastered Heavenly Sword
The game was gorgeous at the time of release but I remember the frame rate being awful on certain scenes

1nsomniac17d ago

This is a remaster that I could get behind. At least it deserves it.

Inverno18d ago

Instead they made a half arsed movie years later. PS360 era has waaaay too many games left behind on it. Honestly it's like every generation prior to the PS4/Xbone gen is like an alternate reality of gaming. You can pinpoint the moment gaming shifted to a more mainstream focus.

ZwVw18d ago

That movie blew chunks. The animation looked like it was done in Daz studio and the entire pacing of the film felt like that of those cutscene vg movies that you seen on yt.

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.

Roccetarius3698d 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.

medman3697d ago

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

Spikeantestor3698d ago (Edited 3698d 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.

darthv723698d ago (Edited 3698d 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. ;)

DefenderOfDoom23698d 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.

Roccetarius3698d ago

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

WizzroSupreme3698d ago

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

OhMyGandhi3698d 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.

Treezy5044160d ago

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

Crossbones4160d ago

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

dericb114160d ago

GUYwhoPLAYSvideoGAME4160d ago

hopefully she will be in less ridiculous clothing next time.

WillGuitarGuy4160d ago

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

GrandTheftZamboni4160d ago

@WillGuitarGuy

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

MisfitsInc4160d 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.

Inzo4160d ago

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

Nodoze4160d ago

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

kratos_TheGoat4160d ago

Let sony best selling character/series rest kill your self

HammadTheBeast4160d ago

GT*

Uncharted*

Then Kratos.

Inzo4160d ago

What is this blaspheme?
