Interesting...is the game always going to have those timed button presses? Or just in this scene? I think I can handle them but it could get a little annoying.

No it is an action game with QTE scenes linking events/levels and mixed in with epic fights.

I like the way the charactor has a rope and can swing around running up and down sides of buildings like in classic Anime fashion etc.

The animations are impressive...
Ninja Blade on a 4-5 thousand dollar HDTV :(

I think it looks really nice. Both the graphics and the gameplay look top notch.

I read some previews and the producers said the quicktime events are just for the cutscenes. They said they wanted to make the cutscenes interactive for the players.

Whaaa? I can't believe the comments. I expected people to rip this game apart. It looks so lame compared to ninja gaiden 1/2. The fighting is weak and the button presses ... wtf?

Graphically it looks pretty impressive, but there are wayyyyy to many quick time events. I love GOW and I know it has a lot of QTE's, but they actually take place during the game and actually feel like a part of the gameplay rather than a flashy scen for you to watch.

I was hoping for a successor to Ninja Gaiden, but this deosn't seem to be it. Still it looks like a decent game, based off this video.

Stop being lame.
No one said the button presses are lame in Heavy Rain, unless that's the only form of gameplay in that game. (Is it?).

But in Ninja Blade, you have a combination of regular gameplay and cut-scene button presses, I don't see how is that not fun, regardless of the other game.

To me, button presses that are done well and occur in thrilling scenes is always a good thing.

9.2 - lol.
i think it's a crazy rip off of Ninja Gaiden.
damn..

But this game actually lets you control the character but in heavy rain, it feels like pressing "yes" or "no"...

like..you watching alternate endings in a dvd...I mean bluray...

I guess the argument would be that its only there to make the player active during the cutscenes where you normally just sit and stare at the screen. While in heavy rain the entire gameplay is focused around QTE's. And it lacks an awesome ninja.

And NG ripoff? That is ridiculous and you (must) know it. I guess you don't think there's been an original fps since Doom, right?

9.4 - Heavy Rain...
yes quit being lame :) But i dont think anyone here said Heavy Rain has horrible graphics. From what i understand, the whole concept of the game is button pressing with cinimatic screens. With this game, your doing both and seems like the action portion of the game looks much better then NG.

No one ever said Heavy Rain is all QTE, what a load of sh*t.

infamous_27 is right, all you Boxinites were knocking Heavy Rain when you saw one, I repeat ONE example of a QTE. Half of you were even saying the whole demo was just a cut scene while it was actually being played in realtime and anyone whose played Indigo Prophecy knows alot of the gameplay is like walking through a cutscene that you are in control of. And at least HR wont have you instantly repeat the QYE atempt if you miss. If you miss in HR then the story plays out that you missed and you have to live with the consequences of that, not get and instant mulligan.

If we're gonna hate something show a bit of consistency guys.

Well if you are wanting to be consistent then you need to look at previous post and see if any of these guys posted anything bad about Hr, then go from there. Just cause someone said something about the QTE's in HR doesn't mean it was people posting above does it?

15 - WOW
This looks freaking amazing, and something worth getting excited for. It looks as though the PS3 will have it's work cut out for it in 2009 since 360 is starting to show some huge stuff already. I really do believe that 2009 will be the year of 360, and now that developers are getting familar with it games like this, Alan Wake, and i'm sure many more to come will set the standard. It also apparent that all the talk of no exclusives on 360 is out the window.

It looks like Heavenly Sword meets Ninja Gaiden but you can't really tell if graphics are amazing with the video quality. I wonder how WarDevil: Unleash the Beast Within will do against another ninja game?

18 - So having QTE's in God of War, Heavy Rain and Heavenly Sword is bad, but having QTE's in this game is okay?
This looks good, but why the hell is there a double-standard here?

edit: the only reason I say that is because those aforementioned games (with the exception of the unproven "Heavy Rain" are my favorite game series', and I constantly see people ripping on the inclusion of QTE's in gameplay, as if it turns it more "shallow".

I think QTE's are fun when used properly (I.E. the God of War boss fights), but I just hate when fanboys rip on something with an unbalanced arguement.

If someone can provide a valid response to this, that isn't full of animosity, I will give them a bubble.
