Maybe Sony decided to give the project to another studio. I want Heavenly Sword 2 though. The first one was probly the closest a developer has come to a real film like experience. In my humble opinion anyway.

Heavenly Sword was a great game just short. Nice to see they are not developing exclusive for Sony and they can show the 360 some love now.

Insomniac how about you??

I'm a little disappointed about no Heavenly Sword 2 at the moment but I'm anxious to see what their next title is.

It's that futuristic/steampunk game their site alludes to. Whatever it is I wanna see it because the art direction from those teaser images is fantabulous.

Heavenly Sword 2 is been done by Ready at Dawn Studios- the studio that did Chains of Olympus. Well we can assume this especially that they have proven their worth to Sony as a rising talent amongst their first party developers.

Who better to give HS2 > Sony Santa Monica.......No they dealing with GOW3......

Heavenly Sword was good cuz' Sony paid a lot $ for voice actors and other production stuff Ninja Theory is an o.k developer but without big $ I don't see how can they make a hit, well let's hope they will but I doubt it, as for HS2 Sony will do it someday I'm sure of it.

I would rather have a Heavenly Sword CG movie along with Heavenly Sword 2 then what ever their new game will be because there is no guarantee that the new IP will be good and plenty of people already love the characters and story from Heavenly Sword. That being said I am interested to see what the new IP is.

i guess this is what happens when sales dont meet expectations, due to HS being a PS3 exclusive. They smartened up when they saw a game like Devil May Cry selling great on both 360 and ps3.

expect other dev, pub and games like MGS4 to go the same route if it doen't sell to expectations..

muah hahahha!!!!

that they release a xbox title before and they are not a 1st party dev for Sony. I see no reason why NT shouldn't dev something for the x360. HS is their only PS game anyways. Good for them. People must understand that these devs need to feed their families as well.

is that Sony actually *OWNS their IPs.

from what i've seen, MS is content to just *LET Epic, 2K, and Bioware keep the Gears of War, Bioshock, and Mass Effect IPs, respectively, and settle for a release on the console, not exclusivity (there's always a chance that later games in the series can go multi-platform). if Microsoft *OWNED the IPs of Gears, Bioshock, and Mass Effect, that would be three rather fine feathers in their cap. sure, for now, the sequels are exclusive, but they could go multi-plat at any moment.

Sony on the other hand, will build up a good IP (ie, Resistance, Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword, and Uncharted), and even if they didn't own, or work with the studios that made that series, they *OWN the IP.

they understand that, for the average consumer/gamer, they know *NOTHING about the studio that made it, but only the IP.

i guarantee that a Halo 4 made by Treyarch would sell just as much as a Halo 4 made by Bungie. why? because the name *HALO is more known and reknowned than Bungie.

Heavenly Sword was a moderate success on the PS3 (despite stupidly bias and one-sided reviews: *GREAT GAME, but it was too short = 7/10 wtf??), and fans of the series will buy the sequel, even if Ninja Theory isn't the studio making it. remember, Sony has 21 other first party studios that are more than capable of producing an excellent Heavenly Sword sequel. not to mention that a bunch of the Ninja Theory guys moved on to Sony Cambridge, so some of the original team wouldn't be far off.

in either case, i'm looking forward to Ninja Theory's new IP, and i'm curious to see what their CG movie would be. i always felt that, for video games, a CG adaptation was a better way to translate the series to the big screen than live action. live action *ALWAYS looks silly (and this is coming from the guy who enjoyed the first Mortal Kombat movie, and even the Resident Evil flicks are a guilty pleasure), so CG (think Incredibles, not Spirit's Within, although i liked Spirits also) seems like a better way to go.

i'll keep my eyes open.

this E3 is shaping up to be one of the most revelatory in a long time.

Multiplat? Lame. This game won't even look as good as HS now that the 3fixme is holding it back.
