You talked with Mike?

I suppose that was his name. He was demonstrating the game and I discussed some things with him about the game and the ps3 in general. Really cool guy.

 

[Y2Kev]

The art is amazing.

Art direction that doesn't suck ass is so rare nowadays.

HS being a launch title would make my day. Honestly there's not a single game I really want from the PS3 launch (unless Oblivion PS3 stuff is true and Lair does make it) and HS looks amazing and probably plays amazing.

I was initially going to get a PS3 and play FFXII on it until a hot PS3 came my way but with HS at launch I may get a PS3 game after all!

And Im very happy to see new PS3 stuff. I honestly can wait to see what Sony has in store for their July event.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Very nice image (enviroment render). Doesn't look unlike Gears of War in art direction of enviroments!

Oh snaps, you're about to start a shitstorm:lol

Why do Western developers show too much environment concept arts and not enough people concept artworks?

Theres quite a few at the jeuxfrance site.
I think its because landscape has a much more wow factor.

 

[NotMSRP]

I saw them. But my question still applies in a more general sense.

 

[Reilly]

awesome art

 

[trmas]

It's not going to make launch. This is just PR.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

Very awesome

 

[Dante]

Oh snaps, you're about to start a shitstorm

Nah, both of these games look so good there's enough love to go around. I like how the new enviornment shot lokes very painterly. Great stuff.

 

[artist]

This game is going to end up as another one on Microsoft's "We had it but ****ed it up" list. :lol

meh. i really like lots of the concept art for the settings, i.e. the temples and the extensive use of lush shades of green, but the setting used in the E3 demo looked barffels nd the character designs make me say bleh. but all opinion of course.

I'm waiting to see what they actually produce from some of these drawings as they certainly have a great starting point.

 

[arne]

Arne stop being a viral marketer for like one second GOD!!!

busted.

Spoiler

ban me

I'm admiring the concept art just as much as everybody else here...

I'd really like her and Kratos to mate and make a child with the ultimate chain-linked swords.

War Jr.

Krangelina

 

[Konnjuta]

Krangelina

Kratos + Nariko = Krangelina ?

WTF?

 

[xaosslug]

what else is on that list?

 

[Kittonwy]

It could turn out really well, or really badly.

 

[Systems_id]

I pray it doesn't personally. I pretty much wrote buying a PS3 off this fall after I heard that HS and Motorstorm were delayed.

 

[Speevy]

WTF?

YES ITS SO SERIOUS GET MADDER

 

[Big Shirtless Ron]

YES ITS SO SERIOUS GET MADDER

HEY SPEEVY FIND ANOTHER THREAD TO RUIN. THX.

 

[Nozi]

Amazing concepts/art direction.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

So...so...pretty.

 

[jjasper]

Looks great, can't wait!

 

[Konnjuta]

YES ITS SO SERIOUS GET MADDER

:lol :lol :lol GAHAHAHA :lol :lol :lol

It was more of a "LOL-where-does-that-come-from-you-silly-boy WTF" than a "OMFG-STFU!!!!11111!! WTF"

 

[krypt0nian]

Yes. I approve. MINE!

 

[Idioteque]

I don't mind if it doesn't come out until next year.

I'll have Warhawk, Resistence, and Ridge Racer 7 to play at launch.

 

[vissione]

.

 

[rubso]

its a beat 'em up games, such as "The Bouncer", am i right?

 

[Idioteque]

More like God of War.

 

[Ponn]

Yes, like God of War too right?

Well this picture is actually real.

 

[Kangu]

Holy shit at the environments. If all of those make it into the game at the same quality as the realtime stuff we've been seeing from NT then I think this game is going to have some of the most gorgeous levels ever.

 

[rubso]

Yes, like God of War too right?

i thought God of War is an Action Adventure..
*Gamespot*

 

[sharukins]

Yes, like God of War too right?

but God of war is where you run in an open environement, unlike heavenly sword

 

[sharukins]

i thought God of War is an Action Adventure..
*Gamespot*

thats what I thought too until I saw the consistent fighting environements, thier all arena's

 

[Kittonwy]

but God of war is where you run in an open environement, unlike heavenly sword

But then you do run in an open environment in Heavenly Sword.

 

[Speevy]

but God of war is where you run in an open environement, unlike heavenly sword

God of War's stages (for the most part) are pretty confined, compared to something like Dragon Quest 8, Oblivion, or Zelda Ocarina of Time.

 

[krypt0nian]

thats what I thought too until I saw the consistent fighting environements, thier all arena's

That's all that has been shown. There are skirmish areas as well.

 

[Kittonwy]

Well this picture is actually real.

Very dream-like.

 

[kaching]

3rd picture looks like it could be in-game as well... both are probably cleaned up a little as is de rigeur for these types of things. 2nd picture I believe the most.

3rd picture is art, 2nd picture isn't cleaned up, it's just benefitting from being downsized from whatever the native resolution is (probably 720p).

logic FTW?

Show me where the game had any officially announced launch date prior to this, if you want to be logical.

 

[meltpotato]

Well this picture is actually real.

yeh see that's not doing anything for me. it's good, but I am more interested in all those jungle temples

Show me where the game had any officially announced launch date prior to this, if you want to be logical.

errr... posted earlier quotes and link to SCEE saying it was 2007 and many people (including some posting in this thread) have said they were told Spring 2007, which is later than the Q1 2007 i have been hearing.

 

[mckmas8808]

Anybody remember this picture?

 

[SolidSnakex]

The game never was set as a launch title. There were 2 games that had previously been said to be PS3 launch titles and those are Warhawk and Lair. HS was just speculation on some peoples part because of they seemed to be one of the teams further along in development. The only time NT has really officially talked about it is when they said it'll be out early 2007.

 

[Zombie James]

Stunning. I want a 720p shot of this, stat.

 

[Ranger X]

Holy shit @ the artwork. It's completely awesome! Even the characters.

God i wish a game would look "painted" like those someday...

 

[sharukins]

Anybody remember this picture?

yes. its from the rendered video
