This game, along with White Knight Story, is among my most wanted PS3 games. Oh, and MGS 4.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

LOL it's so bad.

 

[Delusive]

Heavenly Sword looks like a Ninja Gaiden type game so far which is not bad.

WHF you DO realize that the lower the number of the screenshot the older screenshot it is? This is Gaming-Age's section for all the HS screenshots they have on their site.

Here are the new ones:

Maybe you shouldn't link to leech guards?

Which don't effect effect me, or the majority of people who are posting in the thread over at GAF apparently.

16, 18, 19 are the pictures you want, just use the original link.

Cache you fool.

LOL it's so bad.

What's with the Heavenly Sword hatred?

I don't see anything in the shots to warrant it being called 'so bad'.

Because there's insane repetition in even the five-minute video, and the graphics really don't stand up to anything, aside from maybe Motorstorm.

You ask Manny. Repetition isn't a valid complaint with this type of game. All games feature exactly the same amount of repetition. Or something stupid like that.

I don't think the graphics are bad at all.

 

[CM Punk]

That was entirely different, but you didn't have the mental dexterity to grasp it then, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised that time has done nothing for your understanding of such a basic concept. The reviews, when covering the "repetition" of N3, all stated the same thing - that all you did was run up to big groups of enemies, and kill them. That was the entire concept of the game, and so it stands to reason that it would be repeated, just as "all you do is drive" in Gran Turismo or Forza, and "all you do is shoot things" in Halo. It was a moronic complaint that fanboys looking for a game to hate and simple minded idiots latched onto, "or something stupid like that".

It's kind of sad that you still haven't gotten over an argument that took place in August, and your inability to grasp simple concepts in said argument. But then, if I were presented with such an argument and the only thing I could respond with was something as stupid as "oh, well some games are more repetitive than others", which has nothing to do with the argument, or even worse, "well Tomb Raider has walking and crawling, so it's less repetitive despite the fact that it's the exact same basic action with only a superficial difference, and again totally irrelevant to the argument", I'd probably hold a lengthy grudge as well. Oh, ""

You want to know why Heavenly Sword looks bad? Do you think it could be because it's from the makers of Kung Fu Chaos, a legendarily bad game? Do you think that it's because it's graphics look absolutely awful, with even 3rd generation xbox (as in, the last gen console) able to beat it out? Could it be because the terrible developers has not only made a terrible looking game, but a game that is terrible compared to it's competition, games like a several year old Xbox port or DMC4, games that mop the floor with it graphically and gameplay wise? The game looks awful, and much like Resistance, is only receiving hype for being a launch game. It's the PS3's answer to "Gun" making a launch appearance.

Dude, I was winding you up. Sheeesh.

And Heavenly Sword isn't a launch game, so that's your latter argument about hype out the window.

And Heavenly Sword isn't a launch game, so that's your latter argument about hype out the window.

It was originally assumed to be a launch title at E3, which is where the hype comes from, and is still listed as a launch title for the EU release, so no, my argument is just fine. If you'd like, I could change it to "at E3, anything that wasn't a huge stumble on Sony's part, even if it was an obviously mediocre game like Resistance of Heavenly Sword, received great attention from the Sony fanbase as they really had no other choice, as MGS4 is only one game". However you'd like to put it, it's pretty obvious that this game and a few others aren't getting hype for actually looking like good games.

EDIT: Actually, it's still listed as "TBA 2006" for the US, which means it's launch window, which may as well be a "launch title".

 

[Avalanche]

For me, a launch title is one which is available when the console launches. It's only a European launch title because the European launch was delayed. It won't be available for the Japan launch, or the US launch. Not for another 4 months or so, and that's without factoring in possible delays.

Alas, we have different views on what constitutes a launch title. We shall have to agree to disagree.

 

[CM Punk]

Actually, it will be available for the Japanese and US launch in a matter of weeks, not "4 months". It's only "4 months away" for Europe because that's when PS3 launchs there, the game is ready to go during the launch window. Even if you don't want to accept that it's a launch game, the effects on it's hype are the same.

 

[Danalys]

all you do in fighting games is fight one on one, so that's not really a valid critism. it's the varied ways you have to fight that makes the difference. in DMC it's the same but with more enemies and exploration thrown in. but it is the varying tactics you have to use in battles that makes the difference. if you can use the same tactic again and again then it is repetitive. but if the opponents and situations mean you have to fight differently then it's not repetative.

 

[Zenien]

Heavenly Sword looks awesome, and that's a fact. Not amount of ranting bull**** changes it.

It's not a launch game actually, it will be a couple on months out from launch. I've mentioned this a coupel of times. It's assumed for March. They aren't hitting launch, it has never been mentioned as a launch window game.

 

[CM Punk]

It's still listed as "TBA 2006".

 

[Zenien]

That could be a placeholder, I'm just telling you, the devs have said they aren't hitting launch window over at B3D.

Because there's insane repetition in even the five-minute video, and the graphics really don't stand up to anything, aside from maybe Motorstorm.

Except you're entirely wrong, and it makes N3 look like a PS2 game which is the closest comparision among next gen games at this point. Insane repition? You didn't even watch the demonstration, which wasn't five minutes long FYI, and the players used a LOT of different attacks.

 

[CM Punk]

You really can't comprehend someone liking one game without another being involved, can you? This has nothing to do with N3. Nothing. Nadda. As a matter of fact, had Avalanche not brought it up, it wouldn't be involved in this thread at all. Stop mentioning N3 and trying to use it to shield Heavenly Sword from the fact that it looks bad
