'Heavenly Sword' bridges gap between gaming and cinema

The Maneater: "If you are interested in games as movies, 'Heavenly Sword' is your bag. If not ... well, the cutscenes are beautiful."

"... for better or for worse, 'Heavenly Sword' really only succeeds at elevating the standards of acting in video game production.

It is decently fun, yet short and poorly paced. The game clearly aspires for Hollywood credibility instead of a true gaming experience..."

Some people obviously never beat Final Fantasy X. If you think Heavenly Sword "bridges gap between gaming and cinema". You haven't seen anything yet. The PS3 is just getting started.

I'm thinking some people are just having trouble understanding this game. ITs a game yes, but its trying to be artistic too. It has grace in the fighting system and the time and care in the storytelling. Besides MGS and god of war no game is this cintamatic. This game evokes emotions and thats why some people see it for the masterpiece it is. The shadow of collosus type of people. If you got a little emtional at the ending of that game, then you will understand this game. This isn't a game were there is aliens, throwing gernades, spaceships, or heck even flying a warhawk. Its one the closest games have gotten at art.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro61d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7261d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2361d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200061d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin61d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole61d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix61d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198961d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor61d ago (Edited 61d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.

LoveSpuds564d ago (Edited 564d ago )

I recall enjoying it well enough at the time, but it wasn't a patch on God of War 3 which came out around the same time I think.

I own it and fired it up on my PS3 about 6 months ago and time hadn't been particularly kind to it although it still very much nailed the atmosphere and it is a cool as he'll setting and universe.

Inverno564d ago

Dante's Inferno needs the GOW treatment. No cut camera, with a real hellish depiction of the 9 circles and a story as dark and as serious would be amazing.

Yui_Suzumiya564d ago

Still pretty amazing there was a PSP version that was actually pretty good. I remember playing it 10 years ago. I had the PS3 version when it first came out and loved it.

Hellcat2020564d ago

Ahh the memories of playing Heavenly Sword
Such a amazing experience

LoveSpuds564d ago

Yup, I remember being blown away with Heavenly Sword. I remember holding out hope that they would go back and add trophy support as a incentive to go back and replay the game, but I don't think they ever did?

Yui_Suzumiya564d ago

I couldn't beat the final boss though! Spent several days trying but eventually gave up, lol. Still enjoyed it though.

refocusedman564d ago

heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.

YoungKingDoran564d ago

I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.
