Why dont they just give us the option to have a life clock or not ? It didnt sound like a bad idea imo...

Sweet, they're gonna have a "reactive music system". I haven't played a game with that since Skies of Arcadia for the Dreamcast. And that is my favorite game. I think I'm going to check this game out. I wish there was a demo for this. :(

Basically, it was a timer. The Heavenly Sword slowly kills the wielder if they weren't the destined wielder. So there was a timer to reflect this and heighten the sense of urgency. The timer, which was in the form of a bar if I remember right, would replenish for doing high number combos and other combat related things but if the bar drained completely, you die.

Personally, I had no problems with this so long as it was implemented right but many expressed concerns.

Yeah. Reactive music sounds pretty cool.

I think it was confirmed there will be a demo. I just can't remember the source right now. As for when it'll come, I'm not sure. Right now, I'm guessing July around E3. Simply because of the current trend. April, Ninja Gaiden Sigma Demo came out. This month the WarHawk demo/beta is coming out. Next month, Lair demo is coming out. It seems likely that they will release the demo of another highly anticipated demo in July based on this trend and Heavenly Sword is the number one candidate because it's already had several playable demos at events and it probably has the closest release date of the highly anticipated titles that don't have a demo coming already.

Ever since I played Skies of Arcadia, I wanted every game to have reactive music. I think having reactive music in video games should be standard now.

Good, I hate to be in a rush in such a gorgeous looking action game.  Last gen a game like that was released, Otogi.  You had to rush through and kill, kill, kill.  What's the point of making a great looking game you can't stop and appreciate?

arturo_ko

its music that REACTS to a players actions.  i guess this is an example- u walk slowly the music is slow and peaceful, then u run the music picks up speed and is more upbeat. getting into combat makes it more frantic. thats wat it basically is
