Sony cancels heavenly sword 2?

Better give a mega budget to team Ico. I am right.

Still, I highly enjoyed The Getaway 1.

i finally got around to borrowing heavenly sword from a friend.

it\'s definitly too short for 60 bucks (im almost done with it after 2 and a half days), but the voice acting has to be the best i\'ve ever heard in a game. that and the facial animations that bury even Mass effect made the game for me. plus the kai character in general is pretty cool.

the combat\'s pretty good. would\'ve liked more mix-up\'s in the shooting segments like the upside-down part

sucks that they won\'t be making a second one, but they did release a skimpy ass game, so im not too suprised not enough people bought it.

I kept hearing that this game was super short,....but i\'m still going to get it at some point,...maybe when  it becomes a greatest hits or if i find it really cheap used, but i\'m not going outta my way to get it at the moment,..right now i\'m waitin\' for silent hill & dead space....i\'m still kinda shocked they cancelled the 2nd game....this game, at least from what i\'ve seen of it had high production values.

[Viper_Fujax]

it did. Andy Serkis\'s character looks like Andy Serkis (helper dude from the prestige). half the game i swore the character looked familiar, then saw his face in the extras section and was like "ahhhhh". the more i think about it, the more i feel it had the best voice acting and facial animations bar-none

i heard target is selling it for 20 bucks on clearance, but that was in june/july..but just incase you go into one, it\'s definitly worth adding to the slim ps3 selection for 20 bucks

Heavenly Sword 2 canceled ? Who cares if you can have Heavy Rain :

8 days, or whatever, if Sony think they are not worth it, they are cancelled and more resources go to games which are more worth it for Sony.
And generally they\'re not going to cancel a game which is shaping up very very good.  
More resources to KillZone2, Ico project and Heavy Rain

ps: Knotter8, I\'m really waiting for game-play trailers of Heavy Rain, looking beautiful, original and exciting, and characters look so impressive.  (curious to see how Quantic Dream bring emotions of the characters during gameplay.)

For example, we discovered the importance of the work we\'re doing with facial animation, after [developing] the casting. We discovered how to capture that. I think we gained a lot by capturing the eyes of the actors, because suddenly, it was not keyframed. However good you are, it\'s always keyframed. You can see it\'s keyframed.

But here, it\'s captured, so you have all the micro movements, and it\'s incredible. We knew that from the start, but it was even more than we thought, how much goes through the eyes. It\'s really insane. The micro movements... the things you do when you talk, just moving your head a little bit... a lot goes through that. So we learned.

It\'s one thing to do a great cutscene, even if it\'s real time. It\'s another thing to try to tell the story as you play, so the story\'s not told through cutscenes -- it\'s told through gameplay. So you don\'t need acting performance in cutscenes. You need interactive performance.

Interesting reading.

Yeah...i\'ve been waiting for heavy rain since forever...i kinda actually forgot about it....the visuals are strong and since these cats are the same folks who made indigo prophecy, we should be in store for a quite interesting experience...:fro:

Wasn\'t there some like pussy eating stuff in that game? I mean, lesbo stuff. I mean, cool stuff.

New HR interview :

Storytelling there to STAY !!! Rooooaaarrr !

How about giving HR it\'s own thread Knotter?. This one just keeps reminding me we may not see a Heavenly Sword sequel :hissyfit:

Nothing is written in stone yet anyway. It\'s only been shelved, not canceled.

[BizioEE]

HR is very interesting. I\'m keeping my fingers crossed on this one. Finally a fresh product.
