Havok creators praise Heavenly Sword

"Heavenly Sword is a fantastic game on a number of fronts. An emotionally rendering storyline, a beautiful heroine, a wide range of villains, epic scale destruction, in a beautiful environment, with the realism of Hollywood visuals offers the player an incredible gaming experience, especially on PlayStation 3," said Havok CEO, David O'Meara.

"This game is a great example of how a talented development team can use cutting edge physics and animation technology to bring games to a whole new level and leverage the power of Havok's PlayStation 3 optimizations. We are very proud to be involved in the latest evolution of this next generation console game."

I hope Kai is the main character now. Or else it could be kinda cheap.

well how can I say what I feel without ruining the whole game. They better be real careful who they use, but i would love to see kai use the heavenly sword, but I would be dissappointed if we didn't see noriko, even if its just for a scene. Both characters grew on me a lot. It would be cool to see bohan again too.

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

I'm sure she'll be in it.

[Baba1906]

i think nariko will be back. she has to be back. she is soo coool. i love the part where she makes fun of Whiptale. pls bring her back.

HS is pounding almost all charts of EU and understandably so .

HS is just too amazing a game.

I predict 200 000 copies of HS for JAPAN (atleast )

[lonestarmt]

heck yes!! thats how I feel!

[PSTAVY]

That game's story was so good id be happy to see a second one

[Peekay]

this game is so under rated its not funny

[crazy25000]

this is an awesome game......some ratings are so low that it looses credibility

[lonestarmt]

argeed the only beef you can have is you wish it was longer and the puzzles be a little smarter, but its still great, neh awesome game. Everyone should try this game out. A game so unique deserves better scores and its only adding extra flame xbots to say the games is overrated even though they never played it or understand it.

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

I do think Nariko and Kai are lesbians.

EDIT: It was a joke man, chill out. I own and like Heavenly Sword.

[Arkham]

Grow up.

[PimpHandHappy]

with new eyes

great game

[lonestarmt]

o man that would be cool, or he could become some blind swordsmen type thing.

Don't know how i feel about it, but what if Bohan comes back as a good guy with his son? how do you guys feel about that?

[cr33ping_death]

this game has some truely great acting, i showed my GF the unlocked videos( the story videos explaining the missing parts along the way) and she really felt bad for the relationship between BOHAN and ROACH. i kid you not she almost got teary eyed at the end when.....well you know what happens to BOHAN and who rolls into the scene at the end. good acting.

[ProjectX]

This is an epic 'story' game, don't be surprise the twist n turn story in HS2. HS is a great game.

[techie]

Very underrated....the best looking game anywhere to date, with the best lighting. Anywho, I've done an objective review if you're interested. I gaveit 87/100, and it can be found on the Ninja Forums:

[xaphanze]

how much did this one sell so far?

[BulletToothtony]

but i might be wrong.. some bad reviews kinda ruined it for some people, most people say that there's no replay value.. i find this wrong..

i could sell it right now and make some dough for other games, but i'm on the second time playing it, and i know i'm gonna want to play it over a few times over the next few years.. which is the good thing of being short, cause when they're tooooo long i never play the game again..

[PimpHandHappy]

i just know i had a blast and my buddy got to play the game for free because he just bought a PS3 and i let him have it. He really liked it

Its funny ppl say 60bucks is alot for a 7 hour game (btw i played it for 12 on hell mode) but i trade in my games after im done. I will get maybe 20-30bucks back and get something new in return.

I like the blind swordsmen idea #6.1

i love all those movies

peace

Cinematics wise, Heavenly Sword has set the bar. The only game I can think of that's capable of passing the bar is Metal Gear Solid 4. And that wont be easy.

[snakeater3]

"i have something of yours , and you have something of mine " (bohan makes a silly face) .....heheh priceless ....well done serkis ...you're the man

[testerg35]

Game looks fantastic... only things I can't stand is her hair. Its way over done and she looks like Medussa the way her hair moves around (I know being picky). Also, the AI is pretty bad sometimes. They're spectators most of the time.

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

But this time, the only playable character should be sly and go back to the roots of the original. I just miss Cel Shading. PS3 needs a game with cel shaded graphics.

Ratchet & Clank Future will be great. Must buy that.

[SSCOOLCHEA]

almost at the end here . heavenly sword is a great game in so many ways . he who has a ps3 should check it out. only issue for me is camera sometimes , i can deal with the no block and no jump .

[SSCOOLCHEA]

bohan and roach are two amazing boss . can you select difficulty level cant seem to find that. people will like this game because they could get into the character

[m9105826]

After you beat the game you unlock Hell mode.

[Goshyujin_Sama]

I predict that if they make a part 2 it will be something like what Kojima did with MG, it will prolly be a prequel, as you all saw in the animated series there were many others to wield the HS before Nariko, so yea, basically there are endless possibilities for HS2. I would not mind seeing the back story brought to life, however I would have to say that not having Nariko in HS2 would make me a bit sad.

[Bolts]

Everyone love Nariko but to be honest I would rather have the HS series move on. She's very emo and they used her "tragic" story to show off what a nextgen character can do, and thats done and over with. I would rather see someone more badass and sly wielding the Heavenly Sword on the next round, someone that Americans can identify with and admire. Nobody want to play a game where the lead character is on the verge of tears in almost every scene.

[clarkdef]

I hated this game its awkward, the frame rate is slow,loading times, the story is boring, the combat is dull, and it ignors the expansion rule of betterinig your character through upgrades. I just dont get, I went back to playing God of War an resistance which are great games.
