They already said their next project was multi-platform before 07 was over.

The Heavenly Sword IP is exclusive to ps3. But the Developers themselves are not.

Edit- the interview itself may be new. But subjects spoken of ARE old (meaning them making their next game multiplatform)

wasnt this known a long time ago... long time?

Who can blame them? after Heavenly Sword bombed, they learned that if you want success, you want to team up with the Xbox 360

but if your a Hungry developer, you just can't "Afford" to ignore the Xbox 360. (Literally)

Good news..I wonder what the next game will be. I still have to pick up HS, is it cheaper now??

Wonder what sort of game it will be, I just couldn't like HS tbh but I'm sure there are people who do.

i hope they'll have time make a HS sequel.

Heavenly Sword was a good game and I'm glad it will remain exclusive to the PS3. I really don't care about sharing some other new IP with xbots. Why wouldn't you go multi plat if you were actually trying to make as much money as possible? I guess fat paychecks from M$ and Sony make that happen. Or in the PS3's case (MGS4), superior hardware.

God they just made one of the best lookin games ever by makin a multiplatform game their next games gona look below average!!!

This game was awesome, deffinately going to get part 2!

was nothing special.

They better try harder next time if they wanna appeal to the 360 crowd.

By the way Sony fanboys were saying games like Hsword , Res , Uncharted were impossible on the 360 because of bluray and inferior hardware so how they gonna make this game for 360 ?

Dont tell me they going to make a game smaller than Hsword. Smaller than Hsword you die.

Hope they drop Hsword and bring a cool new franchize to the 360.

One more for the good guys.

a step backwards for them then if they are going to work on the xbox360

I never heard this news before, (damm where have I been) but hey thats good for micro/360 owners, but I hope whatever they do next is alot better than HS, it was an OK, the cinematics were nice but it needs alot more depth to the gameplay imo its a nice rental.

JOY

Now we'll see if these devs can pull off the same thing on another machine with limited capacity (yes, I'm talking about the DVD9).

if they bring a new franchise to the 360 it will be also coming to the PS3!

HS was nothing special. I wont argue that. The boss fights where lame

but

the story was awesome and it was a first year game! Cant wait for HS2 on the PS3....

and btw Lachance

It wasnt fanboys that said HS couldnt be done on the old dvd format. It was the devs themselfs

check ur self fool

ADD ON: we have the phatom disagree guy back in the house....its ok thou....life must suck after you heard the format the 360 uses is outdated

but that could mean alot of things, such as ff13 with the white engine started development on ps2, but is on ps3, with legions better graphics or cg ingame than the ps2 wouldve had, saying that to say this, the game might have been originally on 180 and pc, but nothing will be able to produce what ps3 can in visuals and other aspects of the game, but feel free to let microsoft sway you with money anyway, but thats you.

so I dont mind it going to xbox360

Lets share the fun.

I loved Heavenly Sword, but the damned game was much too short. Thing is it's one of the first games for the PS3 and much like many new games for a relatively new console, they're usually short and sweet. During 2nd and 3rd generation games when a developer has grasped the hardware they're working on, the games tend to look cleaner, better gameplay, longer game as a whole. It's maybe during 2/4's to 3/4's a consoles lifespan, do they max out it's capabilities.

This is the case for the 360, as games are still evolving, but at a slower rate than PS3, because the devs have pretty much harnessed the system, completely. It's up to developers to find new ways to wow us with new visuals, gameplay mechanics, breakthroughs ingeneral.

Making games costs a s*** load more now than it did back in the day. For a developer to say that 50 million bucks barely makes a game in this day and age does say something to that effect.

Independents are suffering more each generation and because of this, we could be missing out on some great possibilities.

Not sure why contributor felt like posting this info again, even though it is from a different source. But anyway, they're great devs with a lot of potential, so it's awesome that 360 owners get some content from Ninja Theory. I do hope though that they'll continue the Heavenly Sword series for PS3. There's a lot of backstory that can turned into future titles.

Why wouldn't they want to dev for the 360? The 360 is a pot of gold for games sales, and I'm sure they want to get their hands in.

It's simple

1 million sales on PS3 vs possible 8 million sales on the 360.

This is what happens when "gaming console" manufacturer prioritizes movies over games.

This is the same as what Bungie did by going independent, only "big" difference is Bungie has stayed Microsoft exclusive.

Why would any game dev want to sell their game to a "gaming console" that has an attach rate higher for movies, than it does for games?

Seems the bad news never stops for the Droids XD

Well Heavenly Sword isnt all that good of a game but it definitely had potential. I cant wait to see what ninja theory brings to xbox 360.

Heavenly Sword was a GREAT game that was absolutely trashed in reviews because it was "too short."

you can beat Super Mario Bros 3 in 30 minutes, but god forbid a game is 8 hours long (this 5 hour Heavenly Sword length was BS. it took me a little over 8 hours to beat it the first time, then i spent another 5 or 6 for a second playthrough to unlock everything).

i remember when games were criticized for having crappy controls, ugly graphics, bad production values, sloppy game design, but it's a new era/generation, where apparently, nitpicking tiny things (ie, game length), takes precedent over a quality game.

to me, Heavenly Sword had a great story, incredible acting (the overacting of the bad guys was intentional; just contrast it with Nariko and her father's performances, and you'll see they were simply juxtaposing the manic behavior of the antagonists, against the reserved, stoic behavior of the protagonists), the combat system is fun and surprisingly deep (it's not quite as pick up and play as God of War, but not nearly as precise and nuanced as Ninja Gaiden), and the graphics are absolutely mind-boggling. i challenge anyone to fire up the game on a nice big HDTV (i have a 40" 720p set), and say that the draw distance, detail, and wow-factor of that game is shenanigans. the game is gorgeous. on a functionality level, the controls are also spot on, and the motion control implementation is subtle, well done, and best of all, can be turned OFF if you don't like it.

when a game delivers on all the key areas of what makes a game fun (graphics, gameplay, audio, fun factor), i don't see where game length comes into the equation, unless it's an hour long game you paid $60 for. Gears of War's campaign mode is short. Call of Duty's campaign mode is short, Bioshock's campaign mode is short. all those games were praised for their fun gameplay. i'm a single player gamer at heart, so i could care less about the multi-player aspect of the above games (minus Bioshock, which has no online; didn't stop that from receiving top marks, even though other games, ie Uncharted, Ratchet, and Heavenly Sword, are penalized for not including MP), so the single player component is VITAL to me. despite the short single player campaign, i had a ball with each of those games.

why? because the core mechanics of what makes those games enjoyable WORK. game length is a tertiary consideration, and, as long as it's over 5 or 6 hours, can be discarded as unimportant to the game's quality.

i'm disappointed that a lot of my fellow Playstation 3 fans listened to the constant negativity that was so in vogue last year, concerning the PS3 and EVERY.SINGLE.ONE of it's exclusive titles, because Heavenly Sword was a fantastic game, and i'm glad Ninja Theory is working on new games, and cross-platform to boot, only because it'll be fun to see the hardcore 360 fanboys (not fans, by the way, just fanboys) do a complete 180 and praise Ninja Theory to no end, even though they reamed them, called them crappy programmers, idiots, etc, when they were developing solely for the PS3.

i think Heavenly Sword sold okay, but not a million seller, unfortunately (it makes me weep that Kane and Lynch sold more, and even scored higher, than Heavenly Sword. absolutely pathetic), but i think it's slowly garnering a fanbase as the PS3 userbase increases, and people start picking up those oldie but goodie early PS3 titles that have dropped in price significantly (i just saw Folklore at the Gamestop near my house for $26 used. i'll be snagging it asap).

it's more than possible that a sequel could be in the works from one of Sony's in house devs, as Sony has a knack for supporting game devs and franchises they believe in, despite sales. for example, Ico sold like @SS. but because Sony believed in the game, and Team Ico, they allowed them to do a follow up, Shadow of the Colossus, which sold so well it's in the Playstation's Greatest Hits line (meaning it sold over 500,000 units).

it's more than possible that, considering how quality Heavenly Sword really was, that they'll release a follow up to it, if anything to pad their software lineup for the next two years.

I guess if Sony was satisfied with the first one in terms of sales they wouldnt allow this

They were always like Free Radical in that they are a non-exclusive 3rd party. I don't see what all the fuss is about.
Just like Capcom making Dead Rising for the 360 and then making Devil May Cry 4 for both 360/PS3, this is the same thing.

Need to come to grips with the screen tearing issues in their games. hs had so much it pissed me off.

that is funny

"Why would any game dev want to sell their game to a "gaming console" that has an attach rate higher for movies, than it does for games?"

how about this Jason

because they can do more on the PS3!

dont like that one i bet

but really

it is open zone so i guess being stupid is ok

now none of there multi plat games will look better than heavenly sword.. And i can bet you they still wont sell a lot of games except if they make a bad a$$ shooting game. 360 owners only buy shooting games.. Nothing else really sells that well on the system other than cod4, halo3, gears, and tom clancy games..

Really dumb move.. Its called greed and it will bite them in the a$$.. they should worry about making HS 2 that will blow us away because they already got a good following and i bet it will sell really well if they can even pull it off..

well, as long as HS2 IS being made

im happy

instead of going with some cliche buff dude. Uncharted was a fresh change I'd liek to see more of.

...because it wasn't that good of a game. People bought, beat it, and sold it back. Or (as was the case for me) just rented it instead. The game had pretty graphics and awesome cut scenes, but the gameplay was repetitive and got boring after a while.

Outside of HS, what has NT really made?

heavenly sword was great.the only ones that are hating were 360 gamers who picked up a ps3.or gamers who don't normally play action games.if they did,they would know that games like DMC,castevania,genji1,blood will tell...

ARE SHORT GAMES.i can beat DMC games in less than 4 hours.but it doesn't get bashed like heavenly sword.

great story,great graphics,great action.but if ninja theory wants to make multiplatform games,then fine.it's not like they are not making ps3 games any more.

megaton........

The first game they made on the PS3 had really, really, good in-game graphics. So no one will have to worry how good any of there games will look. It'll be nice to see what they put out.

360 owners dont buy games these kinda devs make. So its pointless for them to try and waste money and time to make a game for a system that is run by FPS games and online multi player shooting games. Ninja gaiden 2 wont sell that well on the 360 either..

They should just try and make better games for the ps3.. Ps3 owners buy a wide variety of games..

Not saying 360 owners dont buy games but you know why you bought a 360.. For shooters like halo, cod4, and gears.. and to play those games on xbox live.. Its facts and its in the history reports.. lol..

The game has already sold around a million, dumbass. But the thing is, the reasons it didn't sell as much as Assassin's creed is not as high a marketing budget, and as much as COD4, Resistance and Motorstorm is because Ninja Theory didn't put an effort into making the game longer, or more fun. The gameplay is not very innovative, and the game is too short. Lots of people rented it for that reason. And for that, it's not a really big loss for Sony, or a big gain for Microshaft.

I'd be mad if it was Ready at Dawn or Insomniac, but it's just... Ninja theory. They're good, but not excellent. Which is probably the reason why Sony hedged their bets and didn't buy them outright, but rather, just the Intellectual Property, in case the game wasn't as good as promised. Evolution Studios proved they are excellent developers themselves, which is why after the great reception of Motorstorm from the critics and the market, they were bought.

Zhuk, what happened to you? Your trolling quality isn't the same anymore. Don't be a moron, I know you're intelligent, please try with something better next time. If your brain has RROD though, then don't even think about it.

Ninja Theory? Oh hey, aren't they that company that ripped me off with a 6 hour game? Oh yeah, they are!

Ninja theory said the 1st Heavenly Sword was only possible on the PS3 to make it on the 360 would be a waste of time.
Try porting a incredible 50GB Blu-ray game to a 5GB DVD not possible.
Move forward not backwards.
This hasn't been confirmed yet but Ninja theory better think hard about this and think hard.
Remember quality over quantity.

i hope they let the folks that made god of war take over heavenly sword

that game is not going to come out any time soon,nor is it going to save the360s line up, the ps3 line up is looking way too sexy to care about loosing the exclusivity of that so called franchise.

Microsoft will be taking all of PS3's Exclusives!!!

By 360 fanboys accounts, they would not buy theirs button mashing crap anyway....These rampant fanboys bashed HS without mercy....... Now the same developers move back to MS consoles and MS fangirls will gloat about it..........forgetting the fact that MS threw these once xbox exclusive developers out the door like a used condom.

they hated it, now watch how they love it when its on 360.

Damn straight Hadouken....DMC was a crap game for MS fanboys......that was until DMC4 all of a sudden became a great game and was even better on 360 than PS3.......Funny considering it is the worst in the series (barring DMC2)......

GT also sucks to MS fangirls, as it doesn't have dents in the cars.....But if it made it's way to an MS console, it would all of a sudden be the best, most realistic driving game ever....oh and the 360 version would be the definitive version in their eyes.

Anyway, maybe Kung Fu Kaos 2 is on the cards.....

One thing with HS is in my opinion am suprised at the comments on the site, there saying like God rip-off, ok no its not, this has nothing to do with Greek mythology i fact it takes place in prolby china or japan(who knows) but the story is compete different.

ps just because it has the same fighting style dosent mean its a rip-off, why is this the only game that is called a rip off.thats like going around and saying oh that fist-person-shooter is a rip-off of that other FPS.

I’m beating a dead horse here… but Resisitance FOM gun lay out was so fun, multiplayer was one of my top favorite experiences. Insomniac nailed it and I would love a remaster and maybe a redo with Reisistance 2. They listens to players who were wanting a Halo killer and it kind of lost its character from the first.

Warhawk, if they had just remade the first one not Starhawk which offered nice things like the build and battle.. but Warhawk was the best arcade shooter I ever played. Back when you didn’t have battle passes and you actually had to get certain amount of kills or ribbons to unlock different paint skins on the Warhawks and armor for your player.. Look at the success of Helldivers 2, it’s a fun game and it reminds me of Warhawk in a way. I’ve been wanting a remake or sequel since the beginning of the ps4 gen.. it’s hurts to have hope nowadays. Even with the demise of the studios Sony has a steady fan base.

Killzone game after Killzone 2 play style would be nice

Motorstorm would be epic with the visual upgrade, maybe this game would be a harder sell with the genre being not as popular nowadays..

Resistance franchise, Motorstorm and Dirt 2 which was fun as heck. Add Dead Space 2 as well.

I quickly looked and only saw the words PS5 Remaster and a picture of Fall of Mans logo

Ahhhh shit, well maybe one day

Resistance 1-3 remastered with online

Kill zone 1-3 remastered with online

God of war PS3 games and PSP games collection

Infamous 1-2 with all dlc please we need this. It’s such an underrated franchise and so much potential. In this age of super hero media craze Sony should utilize infamous

White knight chronicles 1-2

Warhawk and starhawk

Motorstorm series

MGS4

Easy money would be to remake Resistance and Killzone series, rather than just a remaster. And PS5 desperately needs some couch co-op shooters so this would scratch that itch.

Infamous 1+2 and KZ 2+3

Deus Ex Human Revolution

GTA IV needs one.
Still stuck on PS3 and 360.

PS3 ended up been a beast of a console, slow out of the gate, picked up steam, smashed through the finish line. The 1st PS3 slim is still one of my favourite consoles. So solid, great games, by the time GTA5 and the last of us had come out it was a clear winner for me

Nice to see that they included Pupetteer in this list.

"PS3 may not have been the strongest generation"

Meanwhile...just looking at exclusives alone and not even third party titles

Uncharted was born
Demon's Souls was born
Metal Gear Solid 4
God of War 3
The Last of Us was born
Little Big Planet was born
Warhawk
Killzone 2 and 3
Infamous was born
Resistance was born
Motorstorm was born
Gran Turismo
Heavy Rain
Journey
Shadow of the Colossus returned paving the way for the remake in the PS4 generation
PS Plus was born

Sorry bud, but the PS3 generation was amazing and featured the greatest console comeback in history.

That said, I'd love it if Warhawk returned or Metal Gear Solid 4. It needs to not be shackled to the PS3 generation anymore. A Killzone 2 remake would be insane with modern graphics and that art direction.

I really miss this gen of gaming. It felt like the last truly "great" era for videogames before the modern approach really took hold.

The PS3 was such a glorious console. The UI, the games, the free online...just incredible.

Add Mag to that list.

I would pay good money for a Warhawk remake. Socom too. The last Socom game just didn’t do it justice. Folklore could use a remaster or remake as well.
Several other titles I would like to remade with the amount of visual fidelity the current gen has over the past consoles it could help articulate the games that we’ve loved growing up. I would love even some ps2 titles to remade.. Dark Cloud from ps2, Legacy of Kain series but don’t know what will come of it sense it was bought by Embracer group and all there layoffs.

This strategy is exactly what helped ruin Xbox. Sony more than Microsoft know when to let a franchise go and that is important to keep things fresh. The old games are there if you want to play them.

Resistance series and Killzone 2 & 3 remasters/remakes. Make it happen. They will print money.

FF13 is top of this list for me. No matter your opinion on it, it being the only numbered offline FF out of all 16 not to be on new consoles is odd. GTA IV would be great too

The only reason my PS3 is still connected is because of the Resistance, Heavenly Sword, Motorstorm games that I still love to play. I am for remaking or remastering them.

Would absolutely love a remastered collection of the resistance games

Resistance 1-3 and Killzone 1-3 too. Folklore and 3 Dot Heroes are underrated gems.

Why remaster games that ps5 players can't access when you can remaster a 4 year old game like tlou2 that was already patched with ps5 improvements

Would love a remake of the first Resistance game and also Tools of Destruction.

A gem of a gen, imo! So much IP to pluck.

Infamous 1&2 will sadly always be ignored by Sony, not even a ps4 remaster the whole gen, smh but uncharted, horizon, even days gone had next gen upgrades sheesh 🤦🏽 mane even tho Sony is still doing pretty good in the console business they are a lil big headed lol, I never played the resistance series but it would of been dope to see those games updated as well, we fans get lil surprises here n there but things we really are into having and being vocal about gets passed over like a mf 🤣😩

Remasters are a waste of time and developer resources. Real Devs make new games.

God I would live a Killzone or Resistance collection. Really hoping for a new one in either franchise down the line, loved both series.

I’d say new sequels instead.

Got be resistance /prototype as well

How much prefer the killzone universe to that of Horizon's.
