pr0t0typeknuckles3800d ago

i got my copy a year ago,lol im strike o luck

Knushwood Butt3799d ago

Got my copy for free, and still have it. Get in!

KidBroSweets23798d ago

I've had it since it came out. It really is a good game. I just wish it was a longer experience which is why I hope for a sequel.

Crossbones3800d ago

Gosh, I hope Sony brings back Heavenly Sword on the PS4 as a franchise but with more gore and blood like GOW but with its own unique gameplay.

smashman983799d ago

I disagree nariko isn't like kratos she doesn't kill for the sake of killing kratos is sadistic and nariko is not.

alti3799d ago

I'm sorry but i often just explore this site as a ghost, but i needed to resurrect my login for a bit of 2 cents.

I never owned heavenly sword even though i wanted to. 3 months ago i played it briefly. It is by no means a masterpiece. Easily ninja theory's worst game. The graphics were covered with bloom and had choppy shadows. The gameplay was all over the place. The motion controls were a joke. The frame rate was terrible. And the character was unresponsive.

Honestly, this was a bad game if i ever played one. I just couldn't sit back and encourage those who pretend like it wasnt a piece of shit.

I've seen the screenshots of the upcoming HS movie, which looks to be rendered entirely with ps4 hardware renders (I'll probably be the only person NOT surprised when they drop that ball). With that said, I'm excited for them to explore the series more and give it a reason to be called great. Even though my time with it is limited, i could tell it was nothing special and it has aged like crap.

Lastly, she's impossibly powerful on playstation Allstars. That is all.

amiga-man3799d ago (Edited 3799d ago )

Lets just say I disagree totally, great game and for the record I loved the motion controls, will never forget saving her father with an arrow I guided over his shoulder for a kill in literally the last second before he was hacked down.

Would love to see more Heavenly sword.

GrandTheftZamboni3799d ago

Yeah, arrow shooting was epic.

snake-OO3799d ago

way to go judging a launch window title on graphics.
That game has one of the best storylines this gen, and the musical score was awesome.

alti3799d ago (Edited 3799d ago )

Typical. I mentioned a few reasons why i didnt believe the game was anything special, and you point to my comment on its graphics, which apparently are important considering ninja theory went on record in a video interview (documented somewhere on YouTube for your viewing pleasure) saying, "our goal was to create the most beautiful game ever made."

So no, i dont think graphics make or break a game. It was simply something i addressed as a facet describing where it failed. I can understand why everybody is so butthurt by honesty, though.

Edit: i didnt even say the graphics were bad. I noted what it rendered. Considering I'm just describing what it was, it is YOU who is calling them bad.

SoapShoes3799d ago

And he didn't say you said they were bad he said you were judging some graphical issues on a launch window game. What you are doing is like looking back at Gran Turismo 2 and saying it has lots of blocky cars and jaggies. Well at the time it was the most beautiful racing game and at the time Heavenly Sword was one of the most beautiful games out there.

pr0t0typeknuckles3799d ago

i agree that it isnt a masterpiece at least no to me, but it is a fairly decent game at best that i think can be improved with a sequel just like PoP08 but thats another story,on a sidenote i think ninja theorys worst game is either that shitty xbox game they made years ago or DmC

princejb1343799d ago

I disagree. In my opinion it had great graphics and a great story line. I loved heavenly sword beat it 4 times so far. I'm not a big fan of motion control in general so I guess yea they wasn't the best.
Ninja theory worst game? I think their worst game was enslaved and yea I beat enslaved twice to collect all the trophies, and that game was ok at best. I didn't play devil may cry so I can't judge that game.
I never had problems with the frame rate and the character was very responsive to me.

GrandTheftZamboni3799d ago

Haven't played it in few years, but I remember the graphics were top notch. At least for that time.

JasonBloodbourne3799d ago

if you want to see an even worse game check out that cricket game that was pulled from steam!! seriously the worst game i've ever seen in my life.

The_Villager3799d ago

You're right the game was terrible, I traded my copy in the day after I bought it.

Knushwood Butt3799d ago

It's definitely no masterpiece, but it's not a bad game either.

I remember the motion controls being well implemented, but being forced to sit through repeated arrow/cannon guidance did get tedious. Still, having said that, whatever happened to games using sixaxis controls every now and again? I loved lobbing 'nades with that in Uncharted...

So anyway, no masterpiece, but most definitely not a piece of ****. Definitely worth a play through, although not at the expense of better games.

thricetold3799d ago (Edited 3799d ago )

@alti

In my opinion, your opinion in games sucks. Just felt the need to share that to help the readers decide what is or is not a good game.

Cheerio!

No it isn't, you can buy it most places for less than a fiver.

Now Xenoblade Chronicles - thats a collectors item, you can't find it second hand for less than £40.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro46d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7246d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_46d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga46d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2346d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200047d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin47d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole47d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix47d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198947d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Michiel198947d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.

LoveSpuds550d ago (Edited 550d ago )

I recall enjoying it well enough at the time, but it wasn't a patch on God of War 3 which came out around the same time I think.

I own it and fired it up on my PS3 about 6 months ago and time hadn't been particularly kind to it although it still very much nailed the atmosphere and it is a cool as he'll setting and universe.

Inverno549d ago

Dante's Inferno needs the GOW treatment. No cut camera, with a real hellish depiction of the 9 circles and a story as dark and as serious would be amazing.

Yui_Suzumiya549d ago

Still pretty amazing there was a PSP version that was actually pretty good. I remember playing it 10 years ago. I had the PS3 version when it first came out and loved it.

Hellcat2020549d ago

Ahh the memories of playing Heavenly Sword
Such a amazing experience

LoveSpuds549d ago

Yup, I remember being blown away with Heavenly Sword. I remember holding out hope that they would go back and add trophy support as a incentive to go back and replay the game, but I don't think they ever did?

Yui_Suzumiya549d ago

I couldn't beat the final boss though! Spent several days trying but eventually gave up, lol. Still enjoyed it though.

refocusedman549d ago

heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.

YoungKingDoran549d ago

I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.
