New Heavenly Sword Info (screens included)

Ars also claimed that there was supposedly a private demo which was smoother than the one they tried?

 

The game's visual style is phenomenal. You can tell they've poured their heart and soul into making this game look good.

I just hope they can fix the framerate and screen-tearing problems in particular before it's released. Would be a waste otherwise.

 

I think you have to fix the bolds. The game seemed "a bit button mushy at first blush , but after a few minutes we picked up on some of the cooler moves"

 

There's a new trailer out:

Just a question... did anyone at NT/SCEE look at the first 30 seconds of the trailer before giving it the green light? There are quite a few unsightly rendering issues in the game footage used.

 

Is there any truth to this?

 

Erm...I would. I think adding online would be a good idea to add replayability to the title. I was already planning on buying it new and then sell it as soon as I was done with it, this rumor might make me reconsider. Something which is of course good for NT as they don't get any money from used sales.

 

Hope it's true. Interesting what kind of online they would do in this genre since it's not just an arena fighter.

 

Me wants demo!!!!!!!!

 

Yes, devs mentioned this a while ago and hoped for DLC release...

 

Apparently it is coming next Friday!?

Looking forward to this baby. Might just tip my PS3 purchase forward a little.

 

They were talking about online modes and features, somehow I doubt they'll come out before the game does

On the other hand a dev mentioned somewhere (just take my word for it, I can't be bothered to look for the link right now) that the demo is already finished, all that's left is for Sony to decide the appropiate time to launch it. I honestly see Sony releasing a Lair demo first though and not releasing them so close to each other, so we may have to wait a while for it yet.

 

Ninja Theory are probably the only devs that listen to the gamers on boards so frequently

Almost anything requested by gamers in beyond3d or other boards finally made it to the game including online play which DeanoC originally commented if I remember right they didnt plan online for it. Now its there

 

Actually, Tameem debunked the rumor at NeoGAF.

Thank god. There are too many games that suffer because of this supposed online gaming boom.

I am personally pleased as a pig in shit that online gaming is going to an afterthought rather than the "easy out" it has become for many games.
