Ninja Theory: 'PS3 Doesn't Scare Us Anymore'

In an interview with NowGamer, Heavenly Sword developer Ninja Theory explains why PS3 no longer scares the studio and why the lessons learned from their debut have helped in creating their next title, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West.

"PS3 Doesn't Scare Us Anymore"

Music to my ears. I just hope more depelopers can say the same thing.

Valve is still scared though...:(

"Antoniades continues, 'I think a lot of the games that were announced back then were tainted by that negativity about the price of the console and the things people were saying about it'."

So much truth behind those words.

halojunkie5113d ago

intimidating piece of hardware. 1 month to go and i'll be playing killzone 2. i need a ps3 now! sick of the youtube videos.

THC CELL5113d ago

u have killzone 2 and no ps3?????
Did u try it in the xbox??? lol Joking

killzone is one of the most played online games on psn at this moment
and uncharted 2 ( what u should not miss by the way)

Warhawk is good if u are a online player also

Im a bit off topic

Get HS too its about 4.99 in most places now

Jamie Foxx5113d ago (Edited 5113d ago )

Ps3 is making strides,360 is a good machine but be prepared for true next gen visuals,sound and free online....games I would PERSONALLY recommend are..

Resistance 1-still love that game
Kz2
Uncharted 2
MGS4

And if you love other genres apart from shooters-
Motorstorm PR
Heavy rain
LBP

Venatus-Deus5113d ago (Edited 5113d ago )

halojunkie is just another new account that is just dripping with PS3 positively. PS3 fan masked as a 360 fan… nice

Don’t get me wrong, the PS3 is great, but I just can’t help but feel sorry for the individuals who seem to make a career out of N4G trolling.

Shadow Flare5113d ago

Heavenly Sword is really under-rated. Its a great game and ninja theory did such a good job with it. It was the first ps3 game I had which really made my jaw drop with its graphics. The area with the huge ropes with waterfalls in the background is astonishing

Jamie Foxx5113d ago

My list of games still stand,I did forget heavenly sword,graphics still impress which surprised me.

nix5113d ago (Edited 5113d ago )

there was a reason i bought Heavenly Sword... to support you. and yeah.. the game was great too! now how about Heavenly Sword 2?

@people above: yup... be prepared to be blown away by the true next gen graphics. specially 32 players MP games from KZ2 or Warhawk! please note that they are all humans there. not AIs.

Hill_billy5113d ago

The cast and characters in the game compel you to play and the game play is fast and furious. It is a winner in my book and still a part of my library today. I just hope that the game they are working on now is not a lesser game do to limited resources. It seems Sony just did not help them out as much last time in the advertising department. It would have been nice to see more Nariko in the real world. That chick was hot!

Noctis Aftermath5113d ago

I don't know why people find the need to twist words for a headline, they said:

"When we went into this project instead of starting from scratch with absolutely nothing we had a much clearer idea of what we wanted to do and how we could do it. The PS3 didn't scare us anymore because we were so used to it, so it's been a lot smoother."

To me the way Ninja Theory talked about it came off positive, the title on the other hand comes off somewhat negative.

raztad5113d ago

I hope NT gets things have changed since 2007. HS although a decent looking game is WOWing no one nowadays. I would like to see a bar pushing game but I'm suspecting Enslaved will be our typical "game is identical in both platforms" multiplat game, in other words, nothing to write home.

So, I'm gonna take 'PS3 Doesn't Scare Us Anymore' as 'we are not fvkin the PS3 version'.

dc15113d ago

It was ahead of its time with motion capture tech.. believable movie sequence integration (with very good lip sequenization).

As state before ... its a gem-
not on the level, but.. in the 'zip code' of ICO and SOTC.

Persistantthug5113d ago

According to this, Valve is bringing PORTAL 2 to the PS3.

Scared of the PS3 had nothing to do with L4D not appearing on the PS3. Microsoft's money was the likely reason.

CellularDivision5113d ago

Dude, dont get Killzone 2. It sucks and online community sucks.
Get COD:MW2 instead, I heard its better, plus you dont have to pay online.

weazel5112d ago

...if you're 4. Killzone 2 MP is awesome, AND free. (What are you on about payments?!)

Raz5112d ago

Can't wait to see what they do with their experience on this next IP!

Dee_915112d ago

Heavenly Sword 2 ?!?!please ?

Shendow5112d ago

Pay?? What do you have to pay for to play Killzone 2? Are you dumb or just born retard, plus MW2 was a Epic fail.

Great story an online....Until you get in games were people got to spend their time using the glitchs to win a game. If you want a real war game that takes balls, then get MAG.

You got to have some balls an skills to hold your own Vs 128 players that want to kill you. Try killing 20 people win only using your gun, yeah more real and more epic.

CellularDivision5112d ago

@Shendow

PS3 online is free, so he does not have to pay for online.
I hope this clears up your misconception.

And... A real war game that takes balls has to be BF:BC2.
But thats just my opinion.

XxZxX5112d ago

i love the dramatic arrows scene. It is intense.

I hope there next game is longer than HS cause it was good for a new next gen game

i hope there next game will be as good as the first but longer
sorry i did not read before posting my head is all over this morning

at below bubble for the kick in the ass

ClownBelt5113d ago

You didn't read the article didn't you?

Hint. What they said is a good thing *wink*

ClownBelt5113d ago

Don't worry. You can kick their asses if they screwed up the PS3 version even with all this talk about knowing the PS3's architecture.

THC CELL5113d ago

porting for ps3 is getting easy now
i was happy with just cause 2 burnout call of duty and some others

Im hoping Red dead is a good port.

THC CELL5113d ago (Edited 5113d ago )

alot of developers are scared of ps3

they dont want to show other consoles up

Can u picture a ps3 exclusive call of duty?
man that would just blow us away

Valve are just scared cause there game would look very very good on ps3

i cant wait to see killzone 3 uncharted 3 and R3 for that matter

ya game was good but working in game i remember the first week it come out and a few days later it was up for pre order
i remember it been a number 1 pre ordered game for sometime

HS was short no online and no coop
i loved the story

DarkSpawnClone5112d ago

Valve pees there pant every time they look a a ps3,i herd it was getting really bad for Gabe he had to start buying adult size 8XL huggies.

hatchimatchi5113d ago

That's nice to hear. The PS3 did have a terrible rep when it was first released, Sony was too arrogant and the media was crucifying them every chance they got. Sony & Co. have come a long way since 2006. It's nice to see developers taking risks.

DaTruth5113d ago

They needed to stop customers from jumping on the 360 bandwagon. There was a time there where a PS3 was hard to find and GeoW was the reason people needed not to wait. So Sony felt the need to convince people to just be patient by talking up their product and making grandiose promises(which turned out not to be that far off).

Brewski0075112d ago

Yeah the risks they're taking are certainly starting to pay dividends now. As the first poster of this article also said, Valve are still scared, but Its not really "scared", its more like they just havent the people with the knowledge to work the system architecture especially when it comes to making a port. Most companies who are optimising this are generally companies who are making exclusives for ps3's OR porting from ps3 to 360 instead of visa-versa

sikbeta5113d ago

Sorry...What?

Oh, I get it, is not a FPS....

15 PS3 Games That Would Absolutely Shine as PS5 Remakes

kenpachi15d ago

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming14d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long14d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming14d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple10114d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor14d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing6914d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming14d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno14d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming14d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

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-ro48d ago

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

darthv7248d 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_48d ago

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

Cacabunga48d ago

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

Profchaos48d ago (Edited 48d 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

seanpitt2348d 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!

Iceball200048d ago

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

Father__Merrin48d ago

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

InUrFoxHole48d ago

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

Marcus Fenix48d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198948d ago

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

1Victor48d ago (Edited 48d 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 😱

Michiel198948d ago

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