Developed by Ninja Theory, Heavenly Sword is a visually stunning martial arts drama set in a mythical time and place in the Far East. The game combines the intense action and visuals of the best martial arts action movies with a ground-breaking, free-style combat system allowing players to freely switch between multiple sword types and a wide range of weapons on-the-fly. Check out the new screenshots below.

[pRo loGic II]

looks pretty good, the game will be fun no doubt about that.

[achira]

yes.

[pRo loGic II]

I can tell by you're accent and how much you love games, GAME on little dude.

[clayton]

in the screenshots, there are too many jaggies. Where's the AA?

[achira]

there is AA. without AA you would see far more jaggies. the reason why you see them is because of the bright / dark colour contrast.

[OutLaw]

This will be one of the games I do want.

[THELANDSOFSAND]

well yeah, its the only one that looks good!

[Shadow Flare]

These pictures are great! They're so atmospheric. Even IF the graphics aren't on par with these pictures, they show what kind of game it will be, and it's looking great. I think the first few images are the best

[PS360PCROCKS]

Anti-Aliasing, not to be a hater but anyone notice the first couple pictures are all good, but than when you get to the 6 with people in them they don't look nearly as good, maybe just me, looks fantastic no matter what though, I just think the environment pics might be fake...but this is not a bad comment so dont try to bash me

[JIN KAZAMA]

well, not done yet 360rocks, it'll get better i am sure.

[omansteveo]

Im concerened...dont get me wrong the game looks awesome and the aimation is top-noth but they only show the character in like an arena settings if your just fighting endless eemies in an area that would get boring really quick

[pRo loGic II]

Some are CGI movies/pics and the rest ingame. Remember the PS3 will utilize Blu-ray so this beast will be good at mixing game and movie.(with the help of the powerful Cell) It's a great gimmic to convince/trick the masses.

[FamoAmo]

The screens look good but not great. They still need some work but for now they are ok... Not fantastic, or awsome just OK!!

[zinnia]

Whats her secret with her hair, she has No split ends what so ever.

[PS360PCROCKS]

lol...women

[Droidbro]

half of those are paintings. you can see the signature in the corner lol. and the ingame pics arent even that good. omg halo is t3h b0mb

[schnodder]

looks good. but is it just arena fighting??

[sonyISgod]

How could you conclude a games by judging one area of it gaming? Arena fight or no arena fight, the game look great and amazing. If you're a true gaming fans, you would had accepten this game by now. You siaid that the game graphic look ok, "rolleyes" sure the game look ok. You could at lease be real about it, and not being such a fanboys all the time. You don't have to like the game but at lease be fair about it. You could call all of your 360 titles great and awsome all you want, but at the end of the days. You will never get your hand on this title or any others great titles on the PS3. Period.

[THELANDSOFSAND]

it looks like a good game to me, and i do believe you think I am just a 360 fanboy.

I am not, I just see little in Sony's line-up to be excited about.

[MISSY E]

Is it just arena fighting??, if so what a let down.

[The Real Deal]

I am getting a ps3. Only because I have money and I buy everything. But I am very dissapointed in the games they have been showing thus far. I love games. But I'm not stupid. You can't trick me with some in game and some obvious paintings or cg. It may fool the noob gamer but I have been around the block and seen how sony tries to trick people. The paintings/cg look spectacular...but the ingame shots look like an xbox 1 high def game or maybe a top notch dream cast game. Not no where near 360 quaility. Sure I'm taking into consideration they have time to fix it up. But the ps3 was suppose to launch originally in Spring. NOW. So you would assume they would have 1 game close to completion to show off and get us excited. 4 months to go and No great looking in game shots yet. Come on Sony...are you really going to launch on time?

[sonyISgod]

You shouldn't even be buying the PS3 if you feel that way about it games. You calling this game graphic Xbox1, and dreamcast graphic. How sad are you to be bashing a PS3 game without any since of game play. Out of all the 360 titles, only one game that are consider a PS3 grahpic is Gear of War. The rest of the 360 titles look like crap. They all are pathetic looking and just sad. If you do gone out to buy the PS3, I do hope that you get mug and get your PS3 stolent. You desn't deserve the PS3 at all, you're better off saving your money to add more games for your 360. Honestly I do hope that you'll get jack of your PS3 when walking out of the store. For saying that game looking horrible, you shouldn't be buying this game also and shold never get a chance to play this game.

And for all of you stupid 360 fans whom have no idea of what type of gaming is this game. Think God of War. Period.

[MISSY E]

Dude! the PS3 will not look any different from 360 now and maybe never 360 has more memory for in game graphics. PS3 will be as it alway is really pretty CGI cut-senes with half-ass pasted looking enviroments. PS is made of smoke and mirrors like short cuts; and bearly matches the competion. like you said the past almost always repeats itself.

[MISSY E]

Forza 2, Fable 2, Gears of War, 360 version of Spliter Cell, Mass Effect, Huxley, Alan Wake, Lost Planet, Elder Scrolls Oblivion, Crome Hounds, Moto GP, Grand Raid Offroad, Test Drive and more have better graphics on anything PS3 has.

notice how both PAUL CERULA and XboxKing have not posted anything.... hmmmmm.... if you think it's lame you can at least tell us why......

............................. .............

just to answer your post MISSYE

Forza 2(GT5, Ridge Racer), Fable 2(FF13), Gears of War(Resistance: Fall of man), 360 version of Spliter Cell(MGS4), Mass Effect(Eight days), Huxley(DMC4), Alan Wake, Lost Planet(Heavenly Sword), Elder Scrolls Oblivion, Crome Hounds, Moto GP(coming to PS3 also), Grand Raid Offroad(Motor Storm), Test Drive(Ridge Racer, GT5)) and more have better graphics on anything PS3 has.

[THELANDSOFSAND]

umm, no. First off, the PS3 doesn't exist yet. So yes, the 360 graphics are better, obviously.

GT5, Ridge Racer- Currently look like HD PS2 games.

FF13- Great graphics, I'll give you that. But as you say, Fable 2!!

Resistance: Fall of man- coming out on 360 too. GOW is infinately better looking.

MGS4- The other great looking game on PS3, again, I agree.

Eight days- No, mass effect is looking just stunning. Really.

DMC4- coming to 360.

Heavenly Sword- HELLOOOO jaggies!

Oblivion is never coming to PS3.

ChromeHounds and Moto GP are going to be out on 360 6 months before PS3. You can play old game ports if you want, I'd rather play cutting edge stuff.

Motor Storm- Looks weak.

Ridge Racer, GT5- Again, these look like HD PS2 games to me.

[THE TRUTH]

umm, no. First off, the PS3 doesn't exist yet. So yes, the 360 graphics are better, obviously.

Can this statment be anymore ignorant... Seriously if this is your point then why do you compare the games at all? But I will break down your list anyways....

GT5, Ridge Racer- Currently look like HD PS2 games.

Now this is a biased opinion, GT5 WILL be huge along with Ridge Racer. The truth is 360 will NEVER have a racing title to compete with the GT franchsie. GT is the standard all racing games real driving games are compared to!

FF13- Great graphics, I'll give you that. But as you say, Fable 2!!

Laughable, I say FFXIII and you give me Fable 2..... SERIOUSLY FABLE 2. Your telling me that Fable 2 will be on the same level of FF13 are you kidding me..... 360 has nothing in the RPG department and don't give me Oblivion because that runs on a PC also and apart from being above par graphiclly no one can honestly tell me it will compete with any game in the FF series. (why did M$ charge $2.50 for horse armor?) I mean 360's greatest selling point is XBL and Oblivion doesnt even use it apart from selling more content.....

Resistance: Fall of man- coming out on 360 too. GOW is infinately better looking.

I would love to see a link to support your statement about Resistance: Fall of man. GOW does look amazing I will give you that, but Unreal tourn. 2007 is too. And MGS4 gives gamers the perfect blend of True Next Gen graphics, story, and gameplay Kojima is just perfect at making these games.

MGS4- The other great looking game on PS3, again, I agree.

Eight days- No, mass effect is looking just stunning. Really.

Your opinion and your entitled to it. I prefer the physics of eight days, but this choice could be made either way. Both titles look great thus far.

DMC4- coming to 360.

LMAO, DMC4 is not coming to 360 and that news was comfirmed awhile back. If you are going to make such BOLD statments at least do all of us the courtesy of supporting it by a link.

Heavenly Sword- HELLOOOO jaggies!

LOL we are talking about a game that is still in development. The video for E3 was absolutley amazing!!!!! The physics are top-notch and the gameplay could not be more promising. This game as Huge potential as a "KILLER GAME" and if the reports are true it will be a lauch title. Your point of "HELLOOOO jaggies!" just seems like an unbiased opinion at least com with some better ways to put down this game.

Oblivion is never coming to PS3.

PS3 doesnt need or want this game. It will never be a RPG defining title for any console no matter how much M$ wants to market it. FF13 is the game to beat in the gender and M$ will have no answer for it

ChromeHounds and Moto GP are going to be out on 360 6 months before PS3. You can play old game ports if you want, I'd rather play cutting edge stuff.

Chromehounds look awsome (I am truly thinking of buying this game if it takes full advantage of XBL) but it is in no way "cutting edge stuff" LOL the ONLY game that is "cutting edge stuff" on 360 is GOW and that is my honest opinion. Moto GP is surley not "cutting edge stuff" and for 60$ there is no way I would even think to buy this game EVER.

Motor Storm- Looks weak.

I feel this title has potential, "Motor Storm- Looks weak" is a lame point. I think it will be a so-so game that will appeal to certain gamers. Not my cup of tea really, but so far it looks to be oming along nicely. It really wets my appetite for some TWISTED METAL though ....................

Ridge Racer, GT5- Again, these look like HD PS2 games to me.

GT5 will be the standard of racing games, if you look at the evolution of the GT series you would see that GT5 will be an absolute beast for PS3. 360 will not have an answer for it just like M$ didnt have an answer for it on PS2.
