I can dream of a heavenly sword 2 with longer game times

The game sold around 500,000 units total. That number won't jump much this holiday as every Ps3 owner is going to be getting Uncharted, Unreal 3, R&CFTOD and Rockband. Thigns like that.

HS is a financial disaster in terms of profit for the company, unless Sony footed the bill... Which, they've been known to do in the past. Look at All the Crash games and spyro games and Resistance. Sony footed the bill and allowed these independent companies to do what they wanted to without worrying too much.

I don't think this team is worthy of that kind of praise by Sony.

I love Heavenly Sword and there are a plethora of things the game does amazingly well and impressed me greatly, but i had 2 bug bears with that game. 1, its too short and 2, it just feel's like..."effort" man. They were always saying how emotional the gameplay will be, how it has an amazing story, its so epic...and it is to a degree but its like tried to hard to make it that way, trying to divert the course of a river if you will. Unlike Uncharted: Drake's fortune which is just effortlessly cool, great story, gameplay, characters, and is proper funny at times. But maybe thats just me. Im not dissing Heavenly Sword, don't be thinking that, it does a lot of great things and alot of gaming firsts

I get what you mean. I disagree though, I really liked heavenly sword in so many areas. It's combat system, art direction, and storyline really appealed to me. I hope for a heavenly sword 2.

I didn't liked the game, the story isn't as good as I was told. Kai and Bohan are the only likable characters there...

I am looking forward for anything from Insomniac and Naughty Dog because their games are great and Ninja Theory sucks.

The guys at Ninja Theory are some of the worst developers out there.

This is an amazing example of a paradox.

Look on the bright side, it might take longer than 3 hours to play start to finish.

maybe a Heavenly Sword 2? and mayvbe it will adress the problems that the original had( although not many).

SUPER DUPER PROBLEM: game was waay to short, kinda left you asking for more

Well I liked HS and played it for a good while. I thought they went with the cheap end boss however. Not cheap as in omg I can't beat him just cheap as in weak. It was the best movie I played till Uncharted came out. I hope it's HS 2 and they expand upon the idea 10 fold. I'm hoping for more info soon ^^

Now they have their feet wet, development should be a piece of cake. Heavenly Sword should continue to sell, and reach 1 million copies eventually. Which is excellent for a new ip.

Ive never seen so much hate for an independent studio, who work hard to produce one of the most impressive looking game engines around - with so few people.

This isn't EA or Ubisoft...this is a small independent studio making their way in the game development world to bring something new, and incredible. And they succeeded with their first next-gen game, and I'm sure they will again.

Carry on criticising and you're all calling for EA to make all our games. Retards.

Hellishly sythe
and you will play as paniko a young boy destined for greatness ha ha.
ok maybe not but I bet it will be good.
Just hopes its longer than 8 hours

Whatever game they are making i hope they make a profit off of it and we step up and support a great studio behind these great games.
even though heavenly sword was short it still was a very good game.

I could have sworn these guys said they were working on something boring and completely forgettable? LOL... /sarcasm.

Was anyone here thinking they weren't working on their next game by now? Furthermore does anyone here think they would say anything other than their next game has them very excited and they will let us know more down the road?

Scratch another article up to ...useless information that really did nothing to inform any of us.

The problem with HS is that its trying to be a movie. I'm not going to pay $60 for a movie when I can go see one for $8. Heres an idea Ninja Theory, make a good GAME that is FUN to play. Don't make a movie. I have HAD IT with games trying to be cinematic! Its a game, not a damn movie!

need to be a lot more forgiveable, and I didn't particularly enjoy the Sixaxis-based puzzles. But the game was an amazing experience, the combat was damn near perfect, and the story was shockingly well done.

BTW, anyone who claims to beat this game under 6 hours is either a superhuman or just plain lying. Even Phil Harrison said that even their in-house testers couldn't do it under 7 hours. I'm damn good at videogames, and it took me 8 and a half hours to beat.

I do find it funny though that some of the retards here will hate on Heavenly Sword for being 8 hours long, but make absolutely no mention of Call of Duty 4 (6 hours) or Devil May Cry (2~3 hours).

Resident Evil 0-4
Shadow of the Colossus
Altered Beast
Etc ...

Heavenly Sword 2
will be endless,and people will say it's too long(-:

And ...
We knew it was going to be movielike,that's why we bought it.
(MGS4)!*

Well a Heavenly Sword 2 would be nice but I want to see what else there developers are thinking but then again only time will tell.

the second game should be even better since they have like 2x the experience.

Good-Story
Great Graphics
Good-Gameplay
Even longer play through.

Heavenly Sword 2 (the man) instead of the girl.
A least 25 hours of playing.....

I say dump the horrible Heavenly Sword franchise and bring back Kung Fu Chaos!

i hope its a HS2, i loved the first one. amazing game, just wish it was a little longer. i had like 13 hours playing it twice so cant complain really.

spoiler: i hope they bring Nariko back from the death.

They seems to first focus on the game engine. R&C had more content. Lair was really good in terms of graphics, gameplay - when the devs allowed you to actually play the game - most of the time they interfered - and caused it to be extremely linear to the point of irritation. HS did similar in many places - but the graphics engine was absolutely great.

Now they need to create more content for the engine that they created. Spend more time on the gameplay content next time. The gameplay and the engine is great - allow for more freedom in the gameplay and this will own!

3 hours to complete .... yea right i dont believe that for a second while the game could have a few improvements ( mainly being able to jump) and be made longer (being brought up to 10 - 12 instead of 8 )i think that the next game will have these improvements and i for 1 am looking forward to see where the story of this game is going.

if they do a sequel, please dont swap to another character with boring on rails shooting segments again, the game was so good but that really destroyed the pace and some of the fun for me. I don't even remember how many times I played the demo of Heavenly Sword before it released

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.
