Lair, Heavenly Sword dates INCORRECT. Also, some rumbling about HS.

Guys, guys, come on. Heavenly Sword has to be good. Think about how much money they're spending on it.

Huh? Gripshift > Genji 2. And it only cost me £3.99.


Look guys, I want this to be the best game ever:

Please NT, don't let us down.
 
I reaaalllly want Heavenly Sword to be a great game. Not because it's a game I want or think I'll buy but because I really want this first time (albeit well funded) British developer to really knock it out of the park.

But as always, we shall see.....
 
I don't really get all the fuss. No one in their right mind would've believed both games are coming out in May anyways. And why should HS be bad? I know that big budget != great game but Sony has a lot going for them with this game. They will make sure everything is of good quality, gameplay included.

Now if you have particularily high expectations for this game like the poster I'm about to quote you may well be disappointed in the end, who knows. But HS will be a AT LEAST a solid game, of that I'm sure.

Because of QTEs? I just hope there aren't too many of them in this game.

Or think about how many people have played it in some shows and liked the gameplay. But you had to make your smartass comment of the day, didn't you?

Do I only get the one?
 
We had the Ninja team demo the game for us (basically just the trailer + a few other spots and some background info), most of the people felt pretty 'meh' about the game. To quote my own post the last time this was talked about:

What troubles me is that this is shaping up to be a N3-ish button masher deluxe. When asked if the game would contain any "adventure"-like parts with exploration and interaction, Nina Kristensen (Chief Development Ninja at Ninja Theory) said that no, the game would only focus on action and large scale fighting.

I'm putting this game in the "we'll see"-box, which is a shame. It looks damn nice.

Piriotic is the same guy who was claiming that he works for SCE and that euro PS3 will be getting the PS2 emulation internally rendered in HD with software emulation. And how US may be getting that feature first. He was posting those high-res FFXII screens, but nothing came out of that eventually (nothing yet at least). If those screens were real, he could be legit, but it's hard to tell if they are real of if he was just posting screens from the PC PS2 emulator.

FoxHimself, I don't see how is that reason for concern given that games like DMC or Ninja Gaiden are pretty much the same way - and those are the games they are aspiring to compete against with HS.

because as soon as your animation starts some random enemy whacks you and your animation changes to the 'been hit' one so you just stand on the spot and get bitch slapped to death.

How can this be true now when it obviously wasn't at E3 a year ago?

Low poly models make the game unplayable? WHAT?!?!

This is actually an excellent point. I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

There must be a watercooler somewhere and all day, every day Ninja Theory and Denis Dyack just stand by it talking about shit rather than developing their f*cking games.....

EH yeah, actually the bashing was mine. You have some fair points. No adventure elements? Thats ridiculously stupid. They want the game to be cinematic?

peace
 
Heavenly Sword will be shite, mark my words. Sony are so worried about the job ninja theory are doing they've now filled the development team with a lot of staffers from it's own internal dev teams.

This is bullshit from xbot deadmeat, don´t worry.

Post 17 of this thread. Nostromo's a dev on the game.

Why go official, when you can go GAF? Berieve.

Hopefully those 'rumblings' means that rumble is in the game with the new controller coming out along side it.
 
Doubting the comments about Heavenly Sword, but it would be nice to see some more gameplay footage of Heavenly Sword, and of Lair. Not counting teaser trailers and 10 second previews on TV dramas, the last real stuff we've seen from HS and Lair are from E3 and TGS, respectively.
 
So wait let me get this straight:

A game that looks to be one of the most beautiful games this GEN is suffering from low polys? (Not from any of the media they have released as far as I can tell)

Also, Gameplay that has been praised since the demo was first available is somehow bad due to animation?

I think I'll go with Nostromo's explanation. Lying fanboy rant.
 
can we put away the handbags until we actually get to play this game?

Both sides have made their minds up - Sonyboys think it's awesome, Xbot think it's shit.

Neither of you have played it yet (or you might have played the TGS demo - reaction to which seems mixed) - so can we PLEASE stop judging something in advance?

We can agree it looks lovely and it has a lot of promise - but you don't know how it's going to play. It might GOTY material, it might turnout to be average, it might even be a turd - but deciding NOW and arguing over it NOW is retarded.

Welcome to GAF?
 
The sharing of talent and the such should come as no surprse. Sony did it with Resistance as well (independant developer making a Sony published game). The ICE Team is credited in the credits. Naughty Dog also said months ago they were sharing a lot with Sucker Punch, Guerilla, and Ninja Theory.

As far as the guy saying that it's having problems and all of that, he was the same one who claimed about the PS2 HD backwards compatibility on the PS3 when every other account I have heard in the past has said that dev kits don't have backwards compatibility. His claim will be seen as complete BS by me until I see HD backwards compatibility. And even then I will question him, since the PS3 already appears to be upscaling.

True. But no one on the platform or even in the station seems to know when the train is actually going to arrive.....



Ooooooo, Nostromo got burned with my train reference....... -_-

Seriously, how quick can you be to judge someone who you have no idea about? He might be wrong of course, but he certainly is no "xbox deadmeat". Seriously, why do people here resort to these kinds of accusations as soon as someone says something they don't like? Is it because that's the best they can do?

You may check EG for Pirotic's posting history, he is definitely not an xbox fanboy whatever you want to think. Seriously, the amount of misinformation people are spreading of others just because they dare to say something that they don't like is frightening. It's pretty disgusting that people call people who can't answer you fanboys and xbots behind their backs.

Well, if it was from deadmeat then that pretty much counts as proof that he made it up.
 
And those "hi-res" emulation screenshots this guy supposedly posted were quite obviously the the PC PS2 emulator as well.
 
thanks for the info, but I don't trust anyone who writes "supposidly."

I think HS will turn out just fine.

Yeah, if this guy Pirotic is actually Deadmeat then this thread shouldn't have gone past the first post. I hope that's not the case, not because I want to believe what he said, but because if this many people believe the ramblings of Deadmeat then the end of the world is truly upon us.
 
Nostromo said:
It sounds like a fanboy rant and it is a fanboy rant: 100% untrue.
I wonder what kind of person can invent such a lame story..

It's enough for me thanks.

I have no idea who Deadmeat is, but you can find out quite a lot about Pirotic (photos and stuff, game collection etc) on EG. He doesn't usually participate in these kinds of discussions that much, and he isn't nearly a troll or anything like that though.
 
HS might turn out OK, but is there any doubt it's going to be upstaged by a MUCH better DMC4?or even Dynasty Warriors...

DMC4 will have the game play HS will have the graphics, story, presentation, music and art.

Sounds like not Deadmeat, then.
