Heavenly Sword


The cool thing about Heavenly Sword, apart from the fact that it obviously looks so very, very pretty, and plays so very well, is that I've a good feeling we're still not seeing the best it has to offer. This new batch of screens and concept art inches a little closer to showing us what kinds of interesting environments Heavenly Sword has to offer apart from that circular gladiatorial arena we've been seeing for more than a year now. Curiously, Jeux France also states that Heavenly Sword launches on the 17th of November... an honest mistake? Perhaps.

i love this game so much. it was so much fun to play, and is really one of the few titles at E3 that i can't wait to get my hands on again. if it's true that this title will launch on November 17, then that's just one more game added to my list of about five, that i'm going to pick up (Untold Legends, Warhawk, Marvel Alliance, Rainbow Six and Resistance). the PS3 is looking to have one of the best launch lineups since the 16bit days.

yea @ no. 6 but pop is good. and the gameplay in this game is diferent

 » Branden - POP similarities?

Other than the fact that they've both got great painted concept art I don't think so. POP had a distinct Persian vibe, these look more Asian, and draw influence from the architecture of the time.

I think its a mixture of Asian and Greek.

A few of these photos look like actual 3D environments (the purple forest, green temple, etc). I hope the game is as gorgeous as these paintings. MS must be kicking themselves for passing over this developer.

i played this title at E3, and it plays very much like God of War in some ways. if you like that sort of game, you'll probably enjoy Heavenly Sword.

out of all the games i played at E3 (for the PS3 and even the 360), this title was the most fun. well, Crackdown for the 360 was also awesome, but Heavenly Sword looked and played beautifully.

Prince of Persia is nowhere to be seen. It looks more like God of War, which was a great game by the way.

Theres been a video on IGN of this game for months, and the game definetly looks amazing. It appears to take alot from God of War (definetly not a bad thing). This game will rock.

well.. this absolutely puts anything we have seen on the 360 to shame... both gameplaywise and lookwise...

Even though we haven't played it yet... guarenteed it's lightyears ahead of what the 360 has given us.. or me at least... I still feel like previous generation with the 360.. there is nothing next about it at this point in time... a shame really.
