Sony prepping Heavenly Sword revival?

Rumors of a sequel to 2007's slasher, Heavenly Sword - from Ninja Theory and Sony, have been floating around... pretty much since it's release. However, nothing solid has cropped up to either prove or dis-prove this rumor. However, it does get a little more interesting, as an IMDB entry lists "Heavenly Sword" (due in 2012)

I hope so, I thought HS was awesome.

I would rather see a remake of Heavenly Sword with better story and less convoluted lines. Well, I really don't mind a "revival" as they say with a new character and all, but please don't go ahead and call it Heavenly Sword 2. I'm getting sick of the numbers. How about Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Sabre just like the good old Chinese Novel??

[Taz Yamauchi]

How the hell would they remake a game that was released this generation on the same console for the same console

[Dee_91]

I disagree I LOVED the story.
But I do agree about not calling it just heavenly sword2.

Hevnly sword is on my list of games to beat again
along with mirrors edge and heavy rain

LMAO@taz
I didnt even comprehend that at first I thought I misread it

[Thatguy-310]

Maybe a PS4 launch title :)

[xX-StolenSoul-Xx]

Hopefully, this is one of those games that not enough people played.

I bought it day one and loved every minute of it, just wish a sequel does come out

[golsilva]

i dont think ninja theory would be developing it. they actually stated before that they wanted to do a sequel but sony did not want it (probably due to it not meeting sales expectations) plus add in the fact that they are working on the dmc reboot so its impossible for them to work on it right now. I think the best fit for sony would be to have santa monica studios do since they have a ton of action hack/slash experience, but they are working on a new ip. I think a vita game would be very interesting given it would probably cheaper and easier to develop

[rdgneoz3]

After all the crap Ninja Theory talked, I hope they don't make it. And as you (golsilva) said, give it to Santa Monica Studios, they'd probably be one of the few to do the IP justice.

[colonel179]

If they released a sequel, it would be better to release on PS3. If it was a launch game for PS4 it could be in the same situation where nobody played it.

SMS would be great for Heavenly Sword. They already have the experience with GOW.

[DarkBlood]

would love a sequal just beat it for the first time some weeks ago

[Relientk77]

Do we want a Heavenly Sword sequel? The answer is yes

[NewZealander]

First game was good but not great, if this is true then ppl need to buy and support the game, otherwise dont complain if the series stops with no more games.

[Quagmire]

ALL BLACKS WON! WOOT!

Back on topic, I hope that if Ninja Theory cant come back on, then Sony gives it to Santa Monica Studios, and no one else.

[FlintGREY]

I have yet to finish the first...it's way too hard for me.

How I miss cheat codes.

[Jonah_Reese]

I need to play HS in it's entirety, but I'm all for a sequel, find it funny that a few critics still poop on it but many in the community like it. Why I don't too much like critics.

[newleaf]

I'd be very glad to see Nariko back. *Spoiler* How is it going to work, what with her being dead and all?

[SamPao]

prequel or she is fighting in hell, Kratos style!!! bam!

[Quagmire]

Maybe a new story/character who gets a hold of the Heavenly Sword.

[CBaoth]

and Nariko's story is over but it was one of many that could be told. I would love to see a prequel that fleshed out the battle between the Legendary Warrior and the evil Raven Lord. Or any of the dozens of warriors who briefly wielded it.

For me it's the ingenious aspect of the IP; the sword itself is the centerpiece of the story and thus, it's not restricted by individual character's triumphs and demises.

[theaceh]

The sequel would be awesome. I love me some pale skin redheads.

[MasterCornholio]

They should punish Ninja Theory for whining about the PS3. They should let Santa Monica handle this one.

[dgonza40]

watch it sell more than enslaved lol

ultimate irony

[jdfoster]

Please, please, please, please, please be true!!!

[RememberThe357]

I don't think so. They might be using this movie to gauge interest in the franchise. Or they could be using it to fuel interest in a new title. We'll see, I just don't want to see Ninja Theory working on it.

[xer0]

Since Sony own the IP, I'd love to see the God of War developers (Sony Santa Monica) do this game justice.

[dorron]

Yes, please! Bring back Nariko!

[BlackIceJoe]

I would so be down for a new Heavenly Sword game. I myself would like it to be for the Vita. Because I could see the touch screen being really useful for that game.
