These pictures don't do the game justice.
Here's a link to the trailers released so far

[THE LIZARD#1]

I'm with you, hopefully this is a launch title, however its coming out the first week of December:( I can't wait to get this game.

[Axid]

I like that horrible play-doh hair of hers, complements her "high as ****" face :up:

[Speedball]

Axid, you have to admit that there are a few impressive things for the PS3.
This game and Eight Days look sweet.
Eight Days made me drool it was so frickin cool looking.

[Axid]

Actually I stated about a month ago that this game looks stupid.The only thing I am remotely interested in is MGS4, but I am not going to sit through over 10 hours of cinematics.

8 Days looks cool, too bad that trailer isn't visually representative of the game at all. It's a Killzone 2 trailer done smarter, but still obviously fake :(

[블라스]

I wish Zenien would give me that link for a very cool HS combat video.
I really liked it.

[Fenrir]

Those chains on her arms look an awful lot like Kratos'. Makes me want God of War on the PS3 even more. :mad: :(

[Zenien]

She doesn't have chains or her arms, her sword have 3 forms, one of them are the chains, the other is just the sword, and the other is the sword broken into two peices.

If you think those shots look good those shots are from before E3.

[Substance D]

looks pretty bad. what's up with her face?

[Mentok]

Never really interested me... It is looking welll made though.Will be interesting too see if its any good come launch.

[Avalanche]

There was one up on IGN a while back wasn't there? I think that's where I downloaded it from.

The shots at the top of this page don't really do the game justice. The game looks ten times better in motion. Still, great as it looks, I'm not convinced it's a game that'll be able to hold my attention for too long.

I still want a PS3 God of War though! :mad: :(

[Topdawg]

This game has been confirmed as a launch title, i'll be picking this up.
you can watch video's in HD here:

Holy crap, combat looks awesome :up:

[Avalanche]

http://www.gametrailers.com/downloadnew.php?id=10985

Holy crap, combat looks awesome :up:
It certainly looks awesome. I wonder how it will feel though.

[블라스]

Hopefully there will be skill involved and not just button masher madness :up:

[Mentok]

Looks button mashy to me... But all these games look that way to me :(

[XwolverineX]

At first I thought it was a God of War ripoff, but it actually really isn't.. And I love button-Mashers, I'm like the only one here whole enjoy's Dynasty Warriors.

[Manny Calavera]

Gameplay wise, it looks pretty fun, but graphics wise, I don't know why people rant and rave about it. There are better looking ps3 games out there. As a matter of fact, there are better looking xbox 1 games out there. It's not the visual masterpeice some have made it out to be.

[Topdawg]

I really like cinematic gameplay, one of the reasons this game will rock.

[Manny Calavera]

What exactly is "cinematic gameplay"? Explain what it is and why you like it so much Topdawg. Please.

[Topdawg]

The music and the camera angles especially when you do a special move.
I suggest you watch some gameplay vids.

[Manny Calavera]

Yeah, I've already seen them.

[Manny Calavera]

I'm just waiting for how things will look when people stop doing current gen ports :(

[Speedball]

Three, and yes, Heavenly Sword's graphics are pretty much the final product if it is indeed comming out shortly after launch. But I think that the graphics do indeed look pretty good. (I do think that it looks better than the Xbox games you mentioned, but I do agree with you that there are other Playstation 3 games, such as Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy XIII, look beter).

I can't imagine how sick things will look at the end of 7th generation

Final Fantasy was not the final product, but I have no doubts about squares abilities. It will probably not be released for another two years though. :(

MGS4 however was without a doubt the final product.

[THE LIZARD#1]

Wow you all are wrong, Heavenly Sword was at a whopping 30% when it showed at E3, and its not going to be a launch title. Its coming out in December. Eric Foreman voice "Wow next time do some research."

[Axid]

December what? If it's December 06, that is still launch window. And the game has to be done a month before to be sent to make copies.

[Manny Calavera]

December huh? Which would mean that the graphics themselves would be done by now and they would, at this point, be doing last minute crunch work and bug killing before the game goes gold. Wow, next time do some research.

[Speedball]

Yeah, it was already in Demo form at E3, so the graphics are done (or they added some not needed polish to them), it's just the story and voice work that needs to be completed.

[THE LIZARD#1]

Shut up Manny you can't use my saying against me, I have immunity from it....J/K, okay so I made a mistake, However I don't consider December a launch window. Launch is when the console hit shelves and there are games that you can purchase at pick up. Not four weeks later....

Oh and I like how you guys didn't refer to 30% done, if the game is 30% done and now the graphics are finalized where the hell is the other 70% of the game? Gee I don't know, maybe up your candy assess.

^ Wow that was lame, anyways I'm just saying you guys are so quick to judge, I mean we'll make fun of your games and you'll back it up with...Wait to play the final product. Why don't you take your own advice and see where the game is now? I mean there has been no new information about this game ever since E3, and that was a long time ago. Technology has advanced and I'm sure its safe to say they have made a ton of progress.

[THE LIZARD#1]

Thats not what I read in my OPM?

[Manny Calavera]

People this dumb have usually heard about it all their lives and know by now not to express their ideas because they're all wrong.

[Axid]

Guys, you need to stop acting like you worked on the game.
By the time the game comes out it will look better than the presentation at E3 06. and those screenshots dont do the game any justice.
You know what, it will look petite-ly better. Not bounce up and down out of this ****ing world amazing improvement. This happens every game, every console, every ****ing year. There is no need to "work" on the game to know this.

[Axid]

Yes, it will be polished, but it will NOT NOT NOT NEVER EVARRRRR be drastic

[THE LIZARD#1]

And Resistance is basically on the same time table as Heavenly Sword except Resistance's is shorter and yet it still made a vast improvement in the past what month and a half to two months? I'd say that is a hell of an improvement and thats not even final.

[THE LIZARD#1]

Are you saying between the two Resistance screen shots thats not drastic?

Dude the game looks two times better now and again thats not even polished yet. Thats when Insomniac tells me the real crunch time is. So how come you guys are saying Heavenly Sword is diffrent? That its a little bit away from being polished?

[Speedball]

I wasn't trying to make this the "Official Thread" I just wanted to discuss it with you guys, to see what you think about it.
Not counting the negative Nancys, I'd say a lot of you wanna play the game.

Yeah dude I think this game looks bad ass. I love the fight combat and how fluently it moves and how you'll do one move and its like watching the end result like a movie. This game is going to be awesome and I love the storyline. Its a great storyline. This chick is bad ass. I wonder who would win in a fight, Her or Kratos?
