Heavenly Sword

Ninja Theory's third-person action title for the PS3 Heavenly Sword looked promising even with just the screenshots and the fact sheet we've already provided in previous entries. But this video of Heavenly Sword at E3 will give you an idea how potentially great the game is. Forgive the poor, poor quality of the graphics, but I'm sure seeing the slashing action of the character would be enough for you to think this is really, really cool.

See for yourself.

right... and who won the last system battle? (ps2)... so take your xbot ass back to microsoft, and go jack off to the halo3 cgi trailer... the fact is that sony was researching motion controllers for a long time, but never used them... and if you dont like the price, the all i have to say is that DONT BUY IT!!! and another thing, looking at the games right now, they looks as good if not better then the 360 2nd generation games... that is right, better then the second wave of games that the 360 has... so go on back to microsoft, and tell them that i said that... because i couldnt give a damn about what you think or feel... ***** tard... PS3 owns...

sony fanboys are so funny they said with the ps2 ..... graphics dont matter, (because they were out classed by the other consoles when it came to graphics).... its about the game play. now you have something that can compete graphically and now you change your tune to the complete opposite..... ps3 has way better graphics its going to "pwn" everything around. ...... its sad to see people so closed minded that they dont see what else is out there because it doesnt say sony on it

the same can be said for microsoft zealots though, they were saying how they had the most powerful console etc and it was way better... blah blah, but now they've changed their tune completely.

ps3 should have an advantage on games and 3rd party support, because sony has a lot of influence with the developers. the loss of gta exclusivity will hit ps3 hard imo. heavenly sword looks ok, but it is simply the same old thing but looking better and showing more baddies on screen at the same time. just like halo3, same old thing.

there is a huge market for the same old thing, otherwise we'd all still be playing the first fifa game (mind you, that was the best of the lot). but innovation also regularly graces sony consoles, ico, rez, SotC, okami, katamari damacy... there are others but i can't remember them.

then sony have squeenix... and that's a massive bonus, well really they have exclusive final fantasies, nintendo have some squeenix, and xbox has ff11... but really the big games will be released on ps3.

ps3 is well expensive, and i feel that'll come out in the wash, those who want one bad enough will get one, others will not. i can see the combined power of cheaper xbox360 and gta4 being a large problem for sony... but then again, having glimpsed ff13 and mgs4 i'm about ready to sell my liver for ps3.

This is to #2

Xbox360
1. core system - $300
2. 20g HDD - $100
3. Wireless internet - $100
4. Wireless controller -$50
5. HD-DVD -$100 to $200 (just plays movies)
6. ONline gaming - $50 a year
= $700 - $800

PS3
1. $599
2. COmes with 60g HDD (40g more than 360)
3. comes with wifi (blue tooth)
4. comes with wireless controller
5. Comes with blu - ray player (plays games and movies)
6. Online gaming - free
*what it has over 360*
7. HDMI for true HD gaming
8. 1080p games (not all but most)
9. Can play PS1 and PS2 games
10. Has flash card drivesand others

= Still only $599

I wonder which seems like the better deal.

 » see it in HD

goto www.gametrailers.com and see it in HD....much more impressive in HD. It is just a brawler however it does give you a glimpse of what is to come. Anyone remember the crappy 1st generation PS2 games? Ridgged Racer, Jaggy Tekken, Fantavision, that 1st person RPG that started with an E? And now look at GOW 2....looks like a different system. Both PS1 and PS2 were hard to develope for at first. So just think in a couple of years PS3 games will look waaaay better if history falls suit. But what really got me stoked is the AI, the physics, all the other things besides grafix that will completely immerse one into a game world. The 360 will probably be maxed out in another year or two just like the XBOX did.
