Well that's a bummer, somewhat.

mephman4730d ago

They wouldn't be the first developer to lie in order to shoot down a rumour. *cough* Jaffe *cough*

tweex4730d ago

Hehehe. True story :).

trainsinrdr4730d ago

yh and also the makers of uncharted says they were working on single player dlc when they were just covering up the rumour of uncharted 3 being in development because the girl that voices elena says shes been called back by naughty dog to voice elena again.

zootang4730d ago (Edited 4730d ago )

Wouldn't Santa Monica have taken it on?

NukaCola4730d ago

After Ninja Theory hated on PS3 and Sony about HS, and then totally turned on the fans over the Enslaved games, calling it better than Uncharted, etc etc...I hightly see Sony letting NT back into the family. Let Santa Monica or someone who isn't a team of crying douches handle the next game.

Iamback4730d ago

Who said that they are the ones working on HS2? I think it was clear that some other dev was on it.

limewax4730d ago

NT dont even have the rights to this game anymore so of course they wont be working on it, After the fiasco of the first one I think they would really have to suck up to Sony to even get a chance at working on the sequel

no this was exspected since sony owns the IP and NT better be balls in deep working on DmC

sinncross4730d ago

I highly doubt NT are working on Heavenly Sword 2. When did their studio become big enough to handle two high profile games simultaneously, DMC and HS2?

Sales were not impressive on HS... they are even worse on Enslaved (with 2 platforms to boot): NT are the last developers right now if HS2 is really in development.

It is either Santa Monica or Ready at Dawn imho

Quagmire4729d ago

Considering Santa Monica hasnt officially announced anything as of yet, I'm guessing Sony wouldve asked them to take on HS2 after their work was for GOW3 was completed.

Selyah4730d ago

I really enjoyed the first, i wouldn't have minded more but the story did tie up nicely.

theunleashed644730d ago (Edited 4730d ago )

the source from the rumor stated that ninja theory won't be working on it.

edit: i'm not lying the source claimed that ninja theory wasn't working on it. i'm not saying i believe the rumor but that's what they said.

Emilio_Estevez4730d ago

Who owns, Sony or NT? They might not be making it, doesn't mean it's not being made.

interrergator4730d ago

it was published by sony soooo maybe

Fishy Fingers4730d ago (Edited 4730d ago )

Sony owned IP.

Edit: lol disagree.

oldjadedgamer4730d ago

Sony owns the IP. There was a rumor that Santa Monica were the ones working on it. But with GoW4 likely coming out in 2012, I dont know who would be working on it.

AngelicIceDiamond4730d ago

Though I never I played it personally(cuzz only own a Xbox) the sheer beauty and gruesome but yet elegent flow of gameplay was absolutely Inspiring in everyway possible PlayStation Fans are Lucky.....very lucky

Tyre4729d ago

Best description of what sets it apart from any other game and why so many PS3 exclusives are totally different from most 3rd party games....thx ICYSUBZEEERO. Ninja Theory is class!

AngelicIceDiamond4729d ago

I love that game even though I haven't played it. I agree Ninja theory has major class They new exactly what they were doin with Heavenly Sword.

10 Games We Wish Wouldn't Have Been Cancelled

Many games have to travel through a long arduous journey before they can see the light of day and make it to the shelves. Unfortunately, some titles are not as lucky and end up getting cancelled. These are 10 games we wish wouldn't have been cancelled.

Roccetarius3331d ago

Prey 2 was Bethesda showing their true colours, unfortunately. The death of that was due to backhanded tactics in order to force an easy aquisition.

medman3330d ago

How about Rockstar's Agent?!?!?!

Spikeantestor3331d ago (Edited 3331d ago )

Was Prey 2 ever officially cancelled? I could have sworn Bethesda was trying to find another developer.

Anyway, not sure it counts cuz it wasn't technically in development but, Shenmue III.

darthv723331d ago (Edited 3331d ago )

You mean Shenmue III.

and what about games announced for platforms that never made it out but still released on other platforms?

Alien colonial marines on the wii-u comes to mind. despite its flaws, using the gamepad as a motion tracker screen just looked like a cool bonus.

edit: you made the correction. ;)

DefenderOfDoom23331d ago

I believe someday Bethesda will make Prey 2 . I hope after the new Doom game comes out , ID Software will make a sequel to RAGE.

Roccetarius3331d ago

Prey 2 looked pretty damn good even from the E3 showing. It's not often we actually get a Bounty Hunter game.

WizzroSupreme3331d ago

Sure wish that awesome Avengers game could've gone all the way before THQ went under.

OhMyGandhi3331d ago

great list.
Stars wars 1313 and Prey 2 were particular blows to me.

"There has been some talk about another game, which we can only hope happens!"

Please Sony Make It Happen.

Treezy5043793d ago

Agreed, the game always deserved a sequel, hopefully this time it comes to fruition.

Crossbones3793d ago

I hope it's revealed sometime next year at the earliest.

dericb113793d ago

@Treezy504

Well we are getting a movie so I think Sony is going forward with the series.

Movie Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/t...

Treezy5043793d ago

@dericb Yes I know that's what this interview is about :)

Jepedillo3793d ago

@Prodigy_X
Perhaps at VGA's/VGX this year.

GUYwhoPLAYSvideoGAME3793d ago

hopefully she will be in less ridiculous clothing next time.

WillGuitarGuy3793d ago

Wut...It's not like she was flaunting her breasts throughout the entire game, damn.

GrandTheftZamboni3793d ago

@WillGuitarGuy

Maybe this is what GUYwhoPLAYSvideoGAME meant by ridiculous clothing: not revealing enough.

Sayai jin3792d ago

I thouroughly enjoyed HS on my PS3! More I say!

MisfitsInc3793d ago

i would love to see a sequel where the real "Child of prophesy" is born and he has to learn about what he is and eventually take the sword back.

Inzo3793d ago

This has boggled my mind for some time, why has it taken so long to even talk of a HS sequel.

Nodoze3793d ago

Should have made a seq to this instead of the last God of War title. Let Kratos rest.

kratos_TheGoat3793d ago

Let sony best selling character/series rest kill your self

HammadTheBeast3792d ago

GT*

Uncharted*

Then Kratos.

Inzo3792d ago

What is this blaspheme?
