Yet another hint towards Heavenly Sword 2 being revealed at E3 comes in the form of the latest Official PlayStation Magazine.
Former Hellblade director and Ninja Theory co-founder has offered an explanation regarding his departure from the now Microsoft-owned studio.
It is a good studio.. i really enjoyed their dmc game that i platinumed it.
I did not try hellblade, because it doesnt tell me much.. Enslaved was very mehhh
Heavenly Sword was good not great. Amazing graphics back in the day but so repetitive and not so engaging in the long run.
"Microsoft" we all read between the lines. We have seen the exact same thing happen with many of their other acquisitions
One thing that pleasantly surprised me, was the Switch port, as back then it was my only console. The graphics were amazing and the artistic design helped a lot to enhance the visuals.I took some really impressive screen shots while playing which I still revisit them from time to time to remind me what a capable developer (QLOC) can achieve with weaker hardware.
According to FTC filings, Microsoft acquired Ninja Theory for $117 million.
Ninja Theory is made of very talented and passionate developers.
I´m glad that saw that studio´s potential and chose it to be part of the Xbox family!
Now under Xbox they´re AAA and has all the freedom and resources in the world to deliver amazing games for us!
Thank you Phil and Tameem Antoniades.
Damn this really puts into perspective yet again how good a deal sony got for insomniac...the workhorse of the industry at this point.
They have High potential. Add some good combat mechanics and action to go with the graphics and story telling. Ad you got a mega hit.
Ninja Theory outlines the upgrades made for performance capture, leading to more realistic animations in the upcoming sequel.
This game looks incredible. Loved the first one, the story was good. I’m curious to see where they take it.
Guys! Ffs, just show a normal bit of the game. Yes the motion capture technology and graphics fidelity looks great, but my god… it’s like all that we ever see. I want to see another VGA level showcase where we see more of the combat or something other than a cutscene or showing off the tech.
Announced in 2019, and not a lick of gameplay. Might as well just produce a movie at this point.
i thought the game was owned by Sony...how would it go multi and why would Ninja theory of all devs work on it after they dragged the game through the mud, even though it was able to sell over a million copies, especially when the PS3 was going through a rough time once it released
I so hope that this is true...one of my favourite new Ips on the PS3
Edit: Heavenly Sword is a Sony IP, i think someone is missinformed here
If it's true, i hope it's not Ninja Theory the developer.
But according to me there's no need to get the IP back, it had to appear and die with the first chapter, like a movie (movies without sequels, ofc).
I'd prefer something new, i start being a bit tired of sequels.
Yes please, the first one was great & fun, although too short..
Please be real, please please please be real! I miss Nariko :(
