Heavenly Sword downloadable content coming...if it sells well

During a presentation and Q&A at last night's Warhawk tournament at 3Rooms, Tameem Antoniades (co-founder of Ninja Theory) was asked what his response was to the criticism that Heavenly Sword was too short. He replied that Ninja Theory are definitely interested in extending the experience via downloadable content - but only if it sells well.

[xaphanze]

how much is ''well''?

[PlayStation360]

if it sells around 1 mil globally before/around Christmas.

[ArduousAndy]

it could mean anything.

Anywhere from breaking even to making a HUGE profit.

However I will ask this. I haven't played the game. TO me from what I have seen it seems to be similar to God of War. Honestly that is not a problem God of war was a great game.

But I'm curious what possible DLC can this game honestly get?

Just like Bioshock I got that game (I have a 360 btw) Spent a week getting all achievements. But I honestly do not see anything as far as DLC is concerned that would make me go back to the game. Unless its multi-player there is just nothing that makes me want to go back.

Im curious is Heavenly Sword the same way? If they added new side mission or play difficulty would it be worth it?

Or would it just be best to let the game stay the way it is and make these guys make the sequel.

Frankly as far as Bioshock is concerned I rather have them work on the sequel instead of DLC

[monkey602]

Hey Andy it could be some kind of survival mode just like Ninja Gaiden Sigma got recently or something along those lines anyway

[THUNDERMARE]

I got the game yesterday and yes the game is short, but I think its about right. Anyway I think the reply value is high because I'm working on getting all the extra content, which is pretty hard.

[PimpHandHappy]

i think they should start on part2 so we can have it by 2009! I loved this game but it was short and the combat was over way to fast. Still a hell of a movie!

[thereapersson]

Sure, it's short. But the 7 or so hours of the main game are some of the most intense moments that i've played in a game in some time. I love the cinematic approach of this game; sometimes i'd rather play something that impacts me on a personal level even if my time with it is short.

Much better than playing a 15-20 hour game that doesn't leave me thinking about it long after I have turned it off, IMO.

[no_more_heroes]

Sony fanboys (I HATE that word) always bashed Gears of War for it's short length even though it was also a cinematic thrill-ride (played the game, that's my opinion). Heavenly Sword is 2-3 times bigger and is the same length.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Definitely an experience worth over 60 bucks. The game is just perfect...

Andy Serkis does such a great job! The acting is possibly the best I've ever seen in a game. I couldn't believe the motion on the mouths either...using the in-game engine...???

[highps3]

the game is great all the way around. Totally wrong about being to short. Might not be the longest game, but im still playing it after playing for over 6 hours yesterday. Easily playing through another time.

Buy the game its great. Worst thing about it imo is the screen tearing, but hey it happends.. Even on 360...

Menus are great, cut scenes are great, characters have personality, combat is fun, graphics are great and although it does have tearing frame rate stays solid.

Screw the reviews its worth 60 easily.

[thereapersson]

The only thing that people are really complaining about with this game is the length, and like you just said, you managed to get more than the "quoted" length from it so that's all that matters.

[BulletToothtony]

i believe that not only the game was a bit short, (most people on the forums have averaged from 8 to 9 hours, i beat it just over 9) but the big problem it's that the it's REALLY REALLY good, so it leaves you wanting for more

for example, sometimes a burger king whoper jr burger fills you up, but if you got a Ruby Tuesday burger in that small size you wouldn't be happy cause it would feel so small..

that's just my opinion.. usually a 10 hour game it takes me about 7 days to beat, but this game i just couldn't put it down...

but back to topic, if there's downloadable content i'm all for it.. even thou i'm not a big fan of survivor mode, i guess this is what they would probably make.. but i strongly hope not.. something like new side missions would be the best, cause obviously new weapons it's out of the question

[Frances-the-Mute]

yes pleaz, more content will be appreciated, i'm about to beat the last boss YEAH!

[thereapersson]

My friend couldn't believe the movie-like feel to this game, not to mention the graphical showcase of the whole thing.

[BulletToothtony]

report back when you're done.. i wanna see if you're better gamer than me, it took me about an hour, an hour and ten minutes at the most..

so post back here and let me know,

[monkey602]

An hour and 10 mins? WOW I really want to get this game. Cinematics look great and the coreographed boss battle sequences look amazing.

[s8anicslayer]

I agree,this game is great i put about 2 hours in so far and all i can say is wow!i'd definetlry buy more content,maybe that was the planfor sony

[I_killed_TheMart]

HOW THE FUK DO U KILL KING BOHAN, i almost tossed my controller at my samsaung, like ive never bit and swore at my pillow over this game so stressful, and im playing on hell mode....help?

[BulletToothtony]

beat it once.. cause hell mode it's after you beat it once.. so why are you asking?? the hardest part it's to bounce those things back to him.. when it's orange you hold r1 and press triangle, and when is blue you just press triangle, but to time it, it's a freaking ridiculous,

i also have a samsung, a 42" plasma, so i haven't even tried to throw my controller against it cause it might slip, but i'll tell you what, the controller it's not easy to split in half, i tried last nite for about an hour

[PlayStation360]

WHAT!? I DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD THROW THOSE ATTACKS BACK AT HIM! D@mn, no wonder it was so hard beating him. :( I just kept on dodging those attacks, and hit him when he was close to the ground. Man, talk about doing it the hard way. :P

[BulletToothtony]

because timing the hit it's near to impossible, i usually bounce about 2 out of 10, but yet that was enough to beat him..

to bad i couldn't enjoy the whole beating the crap out of him at the end cause i was too freaking nervous to press the right button, cause i did NOT wanted to try to beat him again

[m9105826]

It's rally not that hard to deflect the attacks, you just have to press triangle a split second AFTER the attack hits you. Any earlier and you'll probably miss it and end up getting hit.

[PimpHandHappy]

I played a few hours of Warhawk then turned on HS to try and beat it. Dam that dude is tricky. I have only fought him once and i wasnt close to beating him. I love how normal humans try and fight me when im in Giod mode but ater i toss a few hundred of them into the air they just sit back and watch there King kick my ass!

I give this game a 9.5 easy. Add a few more bad guys and add a few more hours this game is perfect.....

[DaTrooF]

i got this game at like 11am and ive been playin it ever since.
the game just grabs you.the visuals are one of the best ive seen.the gameplay is flawless.the blocking "problem" to me only improved the game by making it more tactical.i felt like i was playing a movie.sometimes i would get killed countless time cause i be too busy staring at the enviroment.IF YOU LIKE GAMES AND YOU WANT SOMETHING REFRESHING,FUN,CHALLENGING AND WANT A NEW EXPERIENCE....THIS IS A MUST HAVE!!!!

[monkey602]

So now that you are finished it do you think you will play it through again? I want to know if it's really worth the last of my money if it only lasts one or two days even if it is one hell of a good two days.

[Rythrine]

After u beat it then u have Hell mode plus if you wnt to unlock all the Glyphs. I beat the game too. It took me just above 9 hours to do it but basically just using one or two combos of every stance and believe me, there's tons of combos that u can master. I'm gonna play through it again but this time I'm gonna use the other combos plus the aerial combos. Maybe the third time I play it, I'll just use counters the whole game cuz the counters itself can dispose enemies.

[monkey602]

Well I'd be lying if I didn't say I played the demo over and over and love every second, Also I tried to do it differently each time.

[DaTrooF]

ITS DEFINETLY WORTH THE 60.
technicaly the game is short(i finished it in like 9 hours,not on hell mode)
but the game seems to be long ENOUGH.
i think that if the devs tried to make it any longer then it is,it would of lost some of its flair.
their is lots of replay value such as:Hell Mode,trying to have those 3 things on each level(i dont know what they are called).

because of the 3 stances nariko has,you can experiment with them every time you play(you basically try make your own moves/combos).

since HS feel like you playing a movie,even if the gameplay sucked you would still want to play just so you can watch the story(btw,the gameplay is flawless).ask my sister,she dont play games,but loves a good movie,she actually sat their by me through out the whole game just to watch the full story.

my friend came to my house(he also got a ps3)
he didnt know if should buy the game because he has heard rumors that it was like 6-7 hours long.
i let him play the first 2 chapters and he was hooked.
he asked me to let him borrow it,but i didnt let him because i also was hooked and wanted to keep playing.
he is as of now at eb games getting a copy(at least thats waht he said)

THIS GAME IS WORTH YOUR 60.
DO NOT LET ANYBODY TELL YOU OTHERWISE.

[THUNDERMARE]

This game will get all the 60 you spend trust me.
My girl friend came over last night when I was playing and she stay until 4am just watching me play because she's hook to the story.
When you play HS its like you are watching a Spilberg+Sam Reimi movies, the story and presentation is THAT good.

For game play, I believe you can play and finish this game 3-4 time without getting bored, because there are so many combos to work with and the finishing move cut scenes will make you want to see all of them because they are really cool. So once game play might last for about 7-9 hours but you will spend at least 30 hours with this game (about rerun and get all extra contents).

you'll love playing as Kai and try to shoot people in the head, priceless.

Oh and fighting King Bohan is simply epic

[DaTrooF]

DC would be nice=]
maybe some new enemies/bosses to fight
and some new missions

[neogeo]

I'm pretty jaded by games these days, I feel like I have seen it all, but when I started fighting a thousand guys at the same time with different AI on every bad guy, I said WOW! The last time I said wow playing a game was ten years ago and that was Mario 64.

Close minded Xbots should really give this game a try. Its only fair.

It would be like me bashing Gears of War and never had played it. Its simply a lie.
You only have the right to bash games you have played through. I will ignore all people that don't own or play PS3 for now on, its just not worth the wast of time that I will never get back.

[heavyarms]

I havent bought this game yet, but if i'm promised some downloaded content i will go buy it. What the hell is, if it sells well??? Give us more for our 60 bucks.

[Rythrine]

More Kai missions please. I love those over-the-shoulder arrow shooting and then directing them with the sixaxis. The mission were you have to protect the old man as he crosses the bridge was awesome.

[Snukadaman]

They want you too buy a 6-7 hour game.....so they can put in a couple of more hours that SHOULD of been in the game already....And some of you people are actually defending this notion...Seriously ps3 owners...look at yourselves...you accept broken online games(warhawk) horrible controls in some games....WITH NO PATCH TOO EVEN CHANGE THEM TOO ANALOG WITH ALL THE COMPLAINING(lair). Im sorry but some people defend and truly dont see problems in front of them like they dont deserve better. I dont own a ps3 but jesus you can just go on the sony forums and find a reason not to... I do...Im not some blind kid who thinks microsoft is better then the ps3 or even sony for that matter...both only want one thing and that is blind loyalty too one console....and seeing some of the responses here i think they got quite a few.

[Chaos Striker]

I dunno where you got the part about Warhawk being a broken online game and Lair is basically a hit or a miss for the people who buy it. Most everyone who bought Lair don't seem to have a problem with the controls as well. They just adapt to the situation obviously. And regarding Heavenly Sword, so what if it was a 6-7 hour game? I enjoyed every single minute of those 6-7 hours (although it took me closer to 9-10 because the final boss was freaking uber). None of it ever bored me, the cinematics, the battles, and the seamless transition between the two kept amazing me over and over. Personally, I would play it again because the movie like presentation of Heavenly Sword was spectacular.

And of course, those who finish the game (*sorta spoiler*) get access to hard mode, which is basically another 8-10 hours except with harder ai. And some people definitely enjoy a greater challenge.

Even then, we don't know what the downloadable content will be..it could be a boss rush or something but whatever. We will find out if it comes out (and I hope it does because it just adds to the game, which is perfectly fine as it is in my humble opinion).

*Edit @Snukadaman
That is true that stuff should be addressed in the beta, but some things cannot be picked up unless the game runs for a longer period of time. But, regardless that is why we have patches--to fix things that were not foreseen at that moment in time. Got to love them. And please, don't call me a kid, I'm not pre-pub. =\

[Charlie2688]

"I don't own a ps3 but"

so when you ACTUALLY get one...come back and judge ALL you want till then...STFU

thanks :)

@Snukadaman: The FACT is you are judging PS3 owner by problem YOU don't even have experienced and since you are SO judgemental why aren't you sharing your incredible comments about the 360s hardware problems? the scratched discs? laggy P2P online? and how bad its doing in japan? you know problems that are well documented and since you actually have one why not judge it harshly like you do with the PS3? unless...you know...you are a PS3 basher and a fanboy...and sorry dude I have seen you before TRYING to post smart ass comments like this only to look like an idiot later on

[Snukadaman]

Granted theres a patch now..but there was a beta where all this should of been fixed in the first place. Like i said...I go on the site and read posts...im not a misinformed child my friend.

http://boardsus.playstation...

granted...im not some little kid who says he owns a ps3..i wont bs about that...
Like i said...im a consumer...what does not owning a ps3 have too do with pointing out problems kid...seriously...im not making these problems up..they are well documented. Dont have too be a fanboy too point out problems...you just have too be one too defend them vigorously.

andy im not bashing...i was reading the posts on top of me and commented...im far from a fanboy owning a psp/ds/wii/360 im not saying microsoft is better...far from it....i was being a devils advocate here about having too sell more games for more content...someone doesnt say nothing about it, they pull this sort of stuff with another console...as in a short game and maybe even charge for extra maps/ levels is what im saying.

Monkey you have a point...i didnt come on here too bash the owners of the ps3 or their system..i was just saying dont accept the lower standards is all....I wont never post again about my opinions about the ps3 again...you people just have too find out yourselves about that slippery slope. enjoy.

lol monkey...im too old too give a half a shat about bubbles dude...give them..take them...my opinion is mines but its always from my heart man...this is my hobby i choose and will always be in it. I just couldn't take it...i have been on the forum and people actually tell other people too shut up if they got problems...its terrible...Like with metal gear....they are making 2 different versions....one for online and one for single player....people accept that, whats next...halo 4 with separate multiplayer ...this is my beef...dont accept it now because it will affect us all in the long run.

[ArduousAndy]

Im a 360 fan and im just going to say this. Why are you coming in here to bash a system you do not even own? What is the point. This mindless fanboyism (on both sides) frankly needs to stop.

No matter what system sells more we do not see a single dime from it.

And second of yes Lair had bad controls but it was the least of its problems. There was a patch that was released to tighten the six-axis. That patch was what made warhawk buggy.

[monkey602]

Snuka I know you have some some point but you gotta ask yourself what you think you will accomplish coming into a PS3 news post and slagging the system and those who like it. All you are going to prove to the people in here is that you are starting to become what is known as a FANBOY. Sure maybe you arent one now but this is how the trend starts. A person comes in gives his honest opinion against a console, Those who love it come at him all guns blazing, The person who originally posted gets annoyed with these defenders, and slowly succumbs to becoming a FANBOY himself. It happens dude and dont let it happen to you.

You will often read a comment from veterans on this site saying I didnt start off as a fanboy. This site made me one.

EDIT: Snuka don't stop posting opinions I cant stress that enough. I'm merely warning you not to take any responses you get too harsh for there are always disagreeing people who never ever tell you the reason they disagree (I cant stand that). and not to post anything too harsh either.

EDIT:The majority of people on this site are afraid to open their mouths and speak their mind because they are afraid of losing bubbles and being silenced by those we can't get to shut up and it's a shame.

[Snukadaman]

I have 2 xbox 360's..one for me and one for my son....have had 3 RROD.it will be a year this nov..pretty good considering i have 2...I do get the occasional drop from a game, never had a scratched disc. I was having problems with tiger woods where it was glitching too where the whole game stopped its been on the boards though no one posted news about it...also the gameface thing isnt working for both systems.....we got a patch yesterday....like i said...microsoft is not the best there is...I wasnt having no problems with my wii...none with my psp....none with my ds...

[monkey602]

Snuka I understand dude, I had this disscusion recently too. Personaly I do feel content is getting on the lame side recently especialy with the price range on the increase. I passed on added content for Resistance and Sigma because I wasnt bothered paying for something that should really have been included or free But I did buy extra content for MotorStorm. I also came to the conclusion that I would rather get GTA IV for PS3 without the Episodic content. Although I am looking forward to getting Shivering Isles for Oblivion so added content could be seen as one of two things.

1. An excuse for developers to get lazier.
2. A chance to expand your game experience.

Either way downloadable content is here and its going to stay so we are going to have to live with it.

For the record I dont give a person negative feedback unless they really annoy me or just waste the bubbles they have by posting crap, So your bubbles are safe from me dude. I respect a man willing to debate on here with fearing the consequences it inevitably brings.

EDIT: Well Snuka we could sit here and B!tch all day about the fact we had to buy a motorstorm track and vehicles seperately or that the online mode for tekken costs way too much but in the end it will do no good. All you can really do is not buy it if you dont want to. And I say to you is.. Welcome to what we should now be calling the current generation ;)

[Snukadaman]

another example is with the Guitar hero....their downloadble content sold really well...well enough too justify charging 6.25 for 3 songs....i got the dam RROD from guitar hero matter of fact...I will be getting it again with either rock star or guitar hero 3...but my point there is you give developers/sony/microsoft the chance too screw us they will take it as a license too do that and maybe more...hell with rock star you will have the option too download whole albums...i cant imagine how much that is going too cost...but with guitar hero's success...skys the limit..and we ALL suffer.

[Kadajvs]

First of all suck boy...you dont own a PS3 and therefore you havent played Heavenly Sword..the game is amazingly good all the way through. I have 360 and PS3 and Gears of War having good graphics the story sucked really bad and the online is pointless because if you're not host or on the host team you get owned.Player hosting sucks and it's that simple. There's no lag what so ever on Warhawk i've never been dropped from a game..ask me how many times the host on Gears of war gets pissed and drops the game and you lose all your points and kills. On top of that you pay 50 bucks a year for laggy games. No thanks i would rather play online for FREE with no lag. After Gaylo hype dies tell me what the 360 has to offer..nada..PS3 has more than a handful of games being released and they're not all FPS simply put PS3 rocks..FTW..time to take my 360 to be traded in

[Snukadaman]

Seems like it made you the angry little kid....never been dropped from warhawk huh..i find that hard too belive...yeaa being the host in gears does suck but you make it seem like its a terrible experience too play at all..it isnt..like i said i have been dropped a couple of times on gears...hey so you really got a xbox or what....cause if you did you could be in theCOD4 beta....again..like gears...you get dropped with the host jumping off...but the game is fun as hell....and again you dont have too own a system too see their faults...you just seem like a fanboy kid... heavenly sword does look amazing though....but the initial comments were about the game length and some other problems in other games.

thundermare..so there IS problems...which is what I typed.i didnt make it all up man...being that there thousands trying too connect doesnt give the game a pass..sony is a big company and im sure they are helping incognito out....they should be able too handle the problems dont you think...theres more people playing world of warcraft then warhawk and theres not much problems with connecting...i was on it for 7 months..read all my comments together if you think im bashing because im not...im just sick of people trying too justify things that are either buggy, short or just plain broken...

[THUNDERMARE]

As a PS3 owner I think you misunderstand the "dropping from Warhawk" phase. You see, right now Warhawk is darn hard to connect since there are about more than 10k-20k people at given moment, so the connecting part is hard and yes they need to work on it. However, once you get "connected" then the "Drop from Warhawk" is non exist.

To be fair to Incognito here, this connecting issue is hard to catch on beta because the traffic is pretty limit and not that many people are playing, but once Warhawk is open for public this hard to catch issue does emerge like any other game.
So no Warhawk is not a broken game and HS 7-9 hours play time will get you more than you play 50 hours of Blue Dragon.

[WilliamRLBaker]

2 Articles in same day.
One quoting Co founder Of Ninja Nina Kristensen saying there will be absolutely no downloadable content.
http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News...

Now we have Tameem Another co founder Saying there will definately be downloadable content...but only if the game sells well...

>_< Reminds me of the internal communications of sony, Where all the other execs have no idea what the other is saying or thinking, and whats actually going on in their own company.

But alas I wouldn't download the content *even if free* Because it will just be more of the same, Easy as hell button mashing combat, I beat the game all ready in 6-7 hours...unless they add like super 20 hours of gameplay..then yeah I'll save that space for other games and downloads.

[felidae]

yeah. HS is great.

Fighting looks like in a movie and the graphics are on a whole new level.

If the upcoming ps3 exclusives look like this, people will know which system to buy.

But after all, i can't wait to play Halo 3 ;-)

[Keowrath]

I already bought it, I love it. Taking it slow... Only completed one chapter so far. I'd be interested in DLC but as some people here say I'm not sure what it would be. Survival mode just doesn't seem right though. Sure it works for Ninja Gaiden but that game was never about story it was about the fighting and Rachels boobs. This game will need something a little more substantial than just a tacked on Survival mode. Bigger boobs for Nariko?... (I'M JUST KIDDING!)

[Scions Wrath]

I loved every second of this game! From the unbelievable story, characters and graphics, to the epic scale battles! (AWESOME)

I hope they make Heavenly Sword 2 because this game is truly great.

[Kadajvs]

yea there are 2 more heavenly swords being released..this is part one of a trilogy..they sat down with the head cheese over at ninja theory and they said it during an interview...cant wait

[FunnyBone]

Ninja Theory are definitely interested in extending the experience via downloadable content - but only if it sells well.
Translation...We wont do it unless it makes us ALOT of money...

[devilsadvocate]

They should just concentrate on the next part. This game is AMAZING and Andy Serkis should be commended for bring a whole new level of acting to video games. His role was TOP DRAWER, A GRADE stuff.

[LeShin]

Just got hold of Heavenly Sword here in the UK......IT'S FANTASTIC!!! I'm on the last chapter....I think lol, and I don't want it to end! The game is really fun. Not sure why the reviewers are saying it's repetitive as Kai's sections break up up the fighting sections and are bloody fun once you get the hang of after-touching her arrows through fire into peoples heads :)
I'm glad there's another difficulty mmode as I don't really wanna stop playing. The ONLY problem I have with this game is why on earth did Sony release the making of HS and it's anime on PSN?! After seeing that there's not much to unlock which is a shame.

[SIX]

I agree with you completely! Some of my favorite parts of the game are the bits with Kai. Ironically, some reviewers decided to take points away for things like this. I say HUH?! Who the F#$CK is paying you guys??

[THUNDERMARE]

Which reviewer took point of because of Kai?!??!?
I think Kai is a good add to the game, honestly after I play this game's demo I give it 85%, but after I play the whole game I give it 96% because Kai is there.

[krayon]

ninja theory please give us survival mode or make the enemies unlimited.or bring a cheat that is unlimited lives and unlimited enemi to ight with in the arenases

[krayon]

ninja theory please give us survival mode or make the enemies unlimited.or bring a cheat that is unlimited lives and unlimited enemi to ight with in the arenas

[solidt12]

The game is awesome, I am on the 2 days before level playing as Kia right now and Nariko just defeated snake ho. I AM REALLY INTO THIS GAME AND WILL DOWNLOAD OR BUY ANY CONTENT AVAILABLE. If you skip all of the cut scene then maybe you could beat it as fast as these guys keep saying but why would anyone interested in this games story want to do that. Maybe these are the wrong guys to take advice from on thios game because it doesnt sound like there were interested in the game in the first place just want to critique it. I agree a Survival mode is needed and probably already done. I have been playing for around 6-7 hours. There is one mission that I had to try over at least 10 time before I finally got past it and now I feel like the SIXAXIS champ using the Crossbow. I think after that I may be better at LAIR when I play it again.

[LeShin]

You know....that's exactly what I was thinking about the sixaxis controls! When I first started Kai's missions, I was crap, but now I'm a crossbow wielding Ninja!! lol! (my speciality is a flaming crossbow bolt to the crotch!)
Waiting for Lair to come out over here so I can put my sixaxis skills to good use :)

UPDATE: Bohan just got a heavenly ass kicking (I was rebounding his bolts back at him like a demon :)), and it's the end. Man, this game was short but VERY sweet. I WANT ANOTHER GAME MADE! But in the meant time....

Hell mode....here I come!

[supnub5]

and start on hs2, since you already got story written and make it 20-25 hours long with same great cinematic experience,new weapons,upgradeable weapons,and level like crap, oh and multiplayer.

[UltramanJ]

I feel that it gives developers a chance to rush out a game and use dlc as a crutch to fix flaws/add features. The problem with that in my opinion is that it should be free. I would've been sold on Motorstorm had it had more meat on it's bones, and all of the extras that should've been in the game come with a price tag.
I prefer Epic's stance of wanting to give players the extras for free, and after all, wouldn't that just push more copies of the game out the door?
If they add some extra levels to HS and put them on PSN for free I'll reconsider purchasing the game (I'd definitely buy Lair if they patched in dual analog controls), but after spending $60 on a game I don't feel I should need to open my wallet again. Anyway, glad to hear everyone likes the game.

[GIJeff]

I was downloading Linux on my ps3 just to use it for SOMETHING...now i have 12 games and I'm like OMG! Lair, Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, Resistance, Motor Storm, Fight Night, Darkness, Dark Kingdom, Virtual Tennis, Virtual Fighter, Godfather, and Ghost Recon, and a bunch of downloadable games. Bring it Sony, bring it! I'm having trouble just keeping up with the launches!

P.S. yea id be down for some more Heavenly content ;)

[no_more_heroes]

is it slow? The videos make the game seem a little slow, almost like she's swinging the sword in slow motion. Please, this is a serious question. I am not slamming, just asking.

[Rythrine]

It depends on what stance you saw. If the video showed Nariko using the Power stance then it was kinda slow because she can't move that fast with it. Now if you choose the Range stance then she moves a lot quicker than the other. Think of it when Ryu in NGS using that big sword, it was powerful but bulky compared to when he's using the Nunchuks or twin blades.
