Heavenly Sword a 3 game franchise, second story already complete

AMN had the opportunity to speak with Tam Antoniades, co-founder and chief design ninja of Ninja Theory, about their much-anticipated PS3 title Heaven

AMN was able to talk with co-founder and chief design ninja Tam Antoniades of Ninja Theory regarding Heavenly Sword, one of the most anticipated PS3 titles coming later this year.

Antoniades discusses the origin of Heavenly Sword, design innovations, and comparisons to some of today's slightly similar action-adventure titles...

nice, but we'll have to see how the game turns out IMO. I'm optimistic tho.

[okcomputer]

lol I was thinking the exact same thing. How about these companies focus on making ONE good game before they start planning the trilogies.

[Farfromreality413]

Supposedly, its gonna be really good and only improve as they go. Just gotta make sure that they keep the same devs, and don't start mailing it in.

That's what does a lot of great games in.

[THE_JUDGE]

and I hope the story and the gameplay match it. This a must buy launch day for me for sure.

excuse me sir, can you spare a bubble???

[The Swordsman]

Oh, that was unexpected..... anyway, the first game will probably be good, if not great.

[mrk01]

Are the next stories, squeals?
If so, is it more flashbacks, because she ultimatley dies at the end of Heavenly Sword.

[LSDARBY]

We wont necessarily be playing as her in the next game. We dont know the story so new characters could be introduced towards the end, opening up a sequal.

[Frulond]

a turnout there, like the one in God of War (first part)

I expecting Heavenly Sword to be great, and the story seems to be good.

-Heavenly nunchucks
-Heavenly AK47
-Heavenly Swords: Die Another Day to Have Even More Flashbacks

Um and there was an article earlier today about the Halo I.P. being overstretched.

At least Halo is a proven fantastic bombshell of a $$$maker.

Heavenly Sword is..............a game that might be good?

And they're already betting it'll be a 3 game franchise?

Please, Sony stop assuming your completely in touch with your consumer base. If you were we'd all have PS3's in our living rooms like you planned.

<EDIT> @ Whooop: Dude, quit slobbering on my balls.

"well by that comment is fair to say that Masseffect contract of 3 games is as stupid as HS announcing it??"

-Yes, I fact I do think it's stupid. I think it's stupid to contract a trilogy when the first game hasn't even been released to see how the consumer views it.

I can't point out the hypocrisy without some random fanboys jumping on my nuts?

P.S. I'd rather invest $$ into 360 games than invest in stupid kids dolls.

<EDIT> Yours was the only one so pathetic and ignorant that I felt compelled to reply turd.

Is that all you've got? Some lame sh1t about me loving kids dolls?

Lol I'm 19, and going to college. I don't think I'd have a social life if I collected action figures. FF fans anyone?

The truth is Halo is the greatest multiplayer console experiences I've had ever, bar none. The fact is that when you get down to it, nothing still compares to the innovation and true greatness of it's multiplayer.Halo 2 was released years ago. I've yet to see ANYTHING, on ANY system rival it's multiplayer options/lobby/just plain awesomeness.

Now you've got me off topic and defending Halo from the likes of a turd.

[Farfromreality413]

That's what Too Human was announced as when it was announced...ages ago.

Not a bad idea for movies but might be a stretch for games. Hard to sink that much money into development in an untested product...

Risk/Reward starts to kick in...self preservation too.

[Whoooop]

How can you compare this news to the HALO one??

HS trilogy rumor doesn't even compare with the HALO stretch, which in my opinion isn't a stretch at all.

quit being a HALO fanboy and grow up.

"At least Halo is a proven fantastic bombshell of a $$$maker"

well by that comment is fair to say that Masseffect contract of 3 games is as stupid as HS announcing it??

please... go and play with your Master Chief action figure.

EDIT: haha of all the replys, mine is the only one that got to you????

hmmmmm I think i hit a nerve with the doll comment.. chill my friend nobody will really know that you even sleep with it.... :)

You're way too HALO fanboy.. chill my friend and grow up.

EDIT : haha sad... HALO fanboy at his best.

Useless to keep writing.. Enjoy your doll.

[nextgengaming18]

Mass Effect and too human. Both are supposed to have 3 part trilogy, and neither have come out.

[okcomputer]

lol @ 6.2 above.

[computer]

I don't doubt the developers can come up with some good ideas, but are they willing to continue working hard on the game? Many developers become lazy after the first game, knowing their second game will sell well whether it's great or not..

[Anything but Cute]

Means the game has a real plotline. There will be Heavenly Sword 2 & 3.

[timmyp53]

a freakin trilogy

[vaughner81]

I just say lets all play 1 and if its worth it... then think about a 2 and 3.

Oh, and nobizlikesnowbiz, just wait until the PS3 squashes the 360 when the software catches up! :D

[darkequitus]

Grow up you child!

PC/PSWii360, DS/PSP - a true gaming fan

XBL/PSN: Darkequitus

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

Hey kid. I'm waiting here. I'm not getting any younger either.

I'm chosing to play games now. It's awesome. You should try it. I have no regrets.

P.S. I'm not console loyalist you tard. I'll buy a PS3 when it makes sense to me. Makes no sense ATM. Why would I buy one when I'm having a better experience on a cheaper console. Lol.

[vaughner81]

Well lets see... PC / PS3 / 360 / Wii / DS. I have them too... :P

And I LOVE them all!! muahahahaha

[darkequitus]

quit your fanboy crap and stop bring this site down like all the xbots and phonys out there

[JohnCarpenter]

They did a lot for high quality cut scenes and a cinematic feeling. A sequel is a far better idea than the rumored multiplayer mode in my eyes. But it shouldn't be a pure recycling of the existing engine / artworks.

[Rythrine]

That's good. I really have high hopes for this games since it follows GOW's formula. I hope the first game won't flop because it will be hard to play the sequels if you didn't enjoy the first one. I had the same feeling with Devil may Cry before. First one did good which urge me to get the second one, which flopped. I'm glad they got their act together for the 3rd one. So here's hoping that HS turns out to be the next God of War franchise.

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

and how are these gaming companies planing trilogys before the first game is even released? yet alone considered a hit?... either way I'll be buying Heavenly Sword day 1!

[bootsielon]

They are pitting this game against the Too Human trilogy. MAkes perfect sense. I was always thinking "Which games will Sony pit against an action trilogy?". Well, question answered. Except Microsoft (or more like silicon knights) is taking too long to take it out of the gates. It was supposed to come out as a SECOND GEN title last holiday! Now it won't even make this one.

Agree or disagree?

Hmmm, I thought this game will one game only... Look like I'm totally wrong on this one. I know HS will sell like hotcakes.
