Also in Heavenly Sword news, threespeech got a bunch of new screenshots to share fresh from the Leipzig Games Convention in Germany.
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!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
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 😱

Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.
heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.
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.
I thought EGM had given it 8/10. 8.5 (85%) from EGM is a great score but still, a bit unfair IMO. HS deserves a 9 at the very least.
Not having played this at all yet, It is hard to tell from those reviews how good this game will be. That's just a crazy spread. 60% - 100%. Must be one of those hate it or love it games.
I need a friend with a PS3 that doesn't live an hour away so I can play more often....
I trust IGN and Edge over Play Magazine and Gamepro. Heavenly Sword got rated as a GOOD game, not a GREAT game and that's what it deserves.
Too short, repititive and shallow gameplay, this game certainly hasnt shaped up to be a killer app at all, just like Lair and Warhawk.
So this is suposed to be triple A lol, i think not!
still not sure about this one, i think the graphics/textures and sounds etc are amazing but its just the gameplay im worried about!
