Heavenly Sword Sequel "Extremely Unlikely"

TheHater - 556 days 20 hours ago

This is my favorite Playstation 3 game. There need to make a Sequel. I hope Sony do something about this, and pay these guys a lot of money to make the sequel.

Eh the first one was pretty good but it was way too short and I can't really think of why they would make a sequel. The game didn't sell too well and Nariko died.

And God of War III is coming. :)

Personally, I'd like to see Ready at Dawn try their hand at this since they did a really good job with God of War Chains of Olympus.

I heard this game was really good (But extremely short) Was hoping to get it after getting the MGS4 Bundle, damn...would have loved for a sequel.

It's a waste. I believe more people are now ready to give them a try after hearing good things about the first game. They just need to stretch the playtime somewhat longer..

If it was twice as long it would have been critically acclaimed.

I Really Really liked this game. It was the first game that I played where I got to use the Sixaxis in a very fun way. The after touch on the crossbow was the ish.

just get someone else to do the next one. Just that simple. I loved the first one but if another studio can make the next one and make it just as god or better then I'm all for it.

They should do a prequel and re-imagine some things; that way they can avoid the whole Nariko story and explore how the sword came to be in the first place, something more epic.

You know, in the end it doesn't really need a sequel. I was satisfied with what the story gave me and don't really want more. It was an open and shut story.

At best, the sequel would be a shady image of it's predecessor and I'd hate to see it end up like that. I'm satisfied and many others should be as well.

If you don't think so, try and dictate where the story could go from the ending that was given to us.

I rented it and didn't even bother finishing it. And I finish 80% to 85% of every game I start, especially games under 8 hours. The animation was choppy and the combat had no flow to it. You basically hacked away at the enemies until you could catch them not blocking. Which seemed to be random and had no basis on where you attacked them from and with which stance you used. Attack them from the back? They would automatically with no animation flip the other direction and block. It was boring and unrealistic. However if Sony does own the IP maybe they could send the sequel off to Ready at Dawn or Eat, Sleep, Play (think thats what Jaffe's company is named) to make the sequel. But Ninja Theory doesn't seem to have the experience or talent to make a top notch action game.

Nooo! Nariko was HOT! Sony owns the IP so they can make a sequel themselves. Just that it's not gonna be under Ninja Theory this time.

"there’s a great huge raft of reasons behind us taking the direction we are - and it’s also the nature of the business that I’m not allowed to share any of those reasons with you"

Yeah... it's money!

You bastards.

Looks like a political situation here. Ninja Theory wants to be independent and go multiplatform, Sony owns the IP. Sony won't allow to loose the exclusive rights to the name, and maybe the game wasn't successful enough for Sony to pay Ninja more money to do a sequel (they bought the Motorstorm guys back then).

But I could imagine, HS as a brand is good enough to let Sony make a second title - when the time is right and the find the right developer. Question is, if Ninja owns the assets and code. Who ever does the sequel would need those, IMO. If that's not covered by the IP, it will be very hard to make a new title based on it - and might not look/feel like the first one. But these things happened before.

All these statements don't look like Ninja was too happy with Sony after all...(or vice versa).

I loved that game, was short but was still great =]

The sequel could of been years after the first one with a new character and some how someone else gets the sword and you have to get it back, it sooo could have worked >.<
