the only thing that bothers me about HS is that the enemy variety is seemingly nonexistent, does she fight anyone/thing else besides soldiers the entire game minus the boss fights??

 

[Wollan]

Yeah, I'm holding my Tod as well.

 

[Dave1988]

The first time I've noticed tearing was in GoWII. Didn't care much about it but it can be annoying. I actually don't remember seeing any tearing while playing the demo of HS.

Did someone say Ratchet & Cl ahh forget it. This game looks good. I wish the demo was longer but I dug the combat moves.

Edit: I noticed a lot of tearing in atv offroad 1 ps2 near launch. I thought it came with the territory because it was 60fps. Everytime I spin the camera fast.

Why are those words capitalised? Is there something about the German language I'm missing?

Nouns always get a capital in German. They're wacky like that

 

[gcubed]

I feel very sorry for people who believe this.

listen, i'm buying the game the day it comes out, and the other videos look like the extreme tearing in the upper part of the demo was just a demo thing. I havent played the demo in a week, so i guess my memory was a little fuzzy as to when the tearing was, but there was horrible tearing in the demo, something that IMO shouldnt be in a game.

I love the game and everything about it, i was expressing my displeasure for the tearing, excuse me.

Seriously? Everyday, something new, etc.

 

[SealSqueal]

Well I hope I never notice tearing then, I don't want to become a picky bastard. In this case I'll quite happily choose ignorance! Only things that annoy me are shitty frame rates and pop-up/fade in of trees and grass etc.

 

[Kyo]

Those are from our page originally, you can find a few more (some showing a Kai crossbow level) there:

I know the selection isn't the best, didn't have much time for those screenshots on Friday and for some reason the game crashed on me twice while loading a certain level I wanted to show. We'll have more shots next week and those will be more carefully chosen, I promise.

Well in that case I certainly hope they weren't from review code...

I don't think the game has gone gold yet I think. It has to be terribly close though at this point, four weeks to go.

I don't think the game has gone gold yet I think. It has to be terribly close though at this point, four weeks to go.

If the game's crashing in review code then I'd be a little worried personally. But it may well be the GC demo build or a recent preview build.

and see i notice the pop-up and fade in, but it doesnt bother me as much as tearing

 

[jett]

Screenshots look nice, but I haven't really been impressed by Heavenly Sword in a long while.

 

[VonGak!]

I guess it's because it's a name too. Like I'm holding the Grim Reaper (Death) in my hands.

Could be wrong though.

Where were you when I had German classes?

 

[Paranoid_Robot]

Looks good, I want it to be great but I think it will end up getting 8's; which is still good but not as good as what I want.

 

[nategc]

is it me, or did this pic pretty much summed up my fears for this game.

i hope that the enemies don't just stand there and just wait to get hit like they did in the demo. Because in this pic they are just looking at you until the first wave gets depleted

Your agenda gets invay of your thinking. For god's sake they are on a narrow bridge, they'd push down their comrades if they blindly attacked.

what is my agenda? it was a perfectly good complaint.... sure you could say its the bridge but i seen more screenshots that just shows the enemies just standing there.

and do you really think that i'm out to discredit this game? wow.

 

[tribal24]

this game just looks better and better each time it gets revealed more cant wait

 

[CrunchinJelly]

God you people must look so frickin closely at games. I have played a lot of games in my time on several platforms and like to think I know a good one when I see one, and never in my life have noticed screen tearing...

Stop playing games with your eyes closed, man.

they're on a small bridge, what do you expect them to do ?

I'm sure that standing on a bridge and Nariko being in the range stance couldn't have anything to do with the enemies being kept at a distance at all.
Those enemies aren't smart at all, I tell you!
They should all jump on Nariko while she is throwing them around with the Heavenly sword in range stance.

What should they be doing? Floating?

 

[RavenFox]

Oh, my my my.

In f'ing deed.

 

[nib95]

He's a clever warrior. If it was him on that bridge he'd rush forward only to kill himself and his men when he manages to push them/himself off it.

Clever AI FTW!

Stop nit picking. The enemies are doing exactly what you would in the situation. Being cautious.

Splitscreen?!

This makes up for it not being the twing twang I was hoping for.

Looking fantastic, thanks.

Looks great!

I dont really get these kinds of posts..or I do...Im not sure

WTF I wasn't supposed to look at any of those screenshots.

 

[Yoshichan]

Same... jesus christ.

 

[Chrono]

What exactly does screen tearing mean? Is it that horizontal 'split' between the top and bottom parts of the screen? I don't see it in those pics... that happened to me when I played the Sigma demo and DMC3 on my monitor - turning the TV off then on fixed it... I guess that won't work with Heavenly Sword?

 

[Psychotext]

Nah... clever would be pushing the guy in front of you into here and thus off the edge. :lol

That or not being stupid enough to get on the bridge in the first place.

 

[Space Runaway]

I've been kinda bothered by this. Not counting bosses it looks like theres only 3 different types of enemies. Hopefully that ultimately doesn't make a difference.

 

[deepbrown]

Well there's three diff types in the demo - and we've seen at least another 2 different in other footage. Remember the turtle guys? I sure do - funny looking things.

No I don't but thats ok I prefer the game to surprise me.

in the one picture where people are pointing it out, you see in the shadows of her and the enemy you can see a line going through it and the shadow's dont "connect" and are offset. Thats screen tearing. God of War 2 has some slight screen tearing, but not enough to be bothersome (if you put GOW2 in HD mode, there is TONS of tearing). The demo for HS, as some pointed out, has some tearing when you are up on the ledge before you jump down the rope.

Because obviously hand to hand foot soldiers would do other things other than wait to attack when the people in front of them die.

What do you expect? The armies of people to crush her? Let's be realistic here. It wouldn't make sense at all for them all to just swing and hit that far back, it would be stupid, and if they did that, your post would read:

"Why are they all attacking from the back like that? They should just be waiting for their chance to attack"

It's awesome :lol

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

the demo was near unplayable with how bad the tearing was.

The second quote doesn't really mesh with the first, does it?

 

[Zen]

THe only time it ever got close to btohering me was one area in God of War 2 where you first encounter the summoners, and that area was like designed to make any tear as glaring as possible. I never noticed any 95 percent of the rest of the game.

 

[pswii60]

I like the whole '24' thing where they have two different camera angles on display at the same time. Really cool.

 

[Speevy]

Hot stuff. HS=Must buy
