My most anticipated game on the PS3 is Heavenly Sword, but after finding this out, I am a little cautious.


Ninja Theory was previously Just Add Monsters who developed Kung Fu Chaos.

Ninja Theory Ltd, was formed in Cambridge England, in November of 2004, by Nina Kristensen (Chief Development Ninja), Mike Ball (Chief Technology Ninja), Tameem Antoniades (Chief Design Ninja) and Non-Executive Ninja, Jez San OBE. Ninja Theory was formerly known as Just Add Monsters Ltd and is the team behind Kung Fu Chaos, a game published in 2003 by Microsoft Games Studios exclusively for the Xbox and released on time, on budget and to critical acclaim in 2003.

Ninja Theory believes that the next-generation of games consoles offer an opportunity to elevate the games experience into one that can rival film and literature and was one of the first development studios to commit exclusively to next-generation consoles. And, no, we don’t care if you think we’re a bunch of pretentious gits for saying that!

If you’re wondering why we are called “Ninja Theory”, it’s because we wanted a name with “Ninja” in it and that’s the best we could come up with!

I highly doubt it would be a killer app, maybe high AAA but it still looks like GoW kills it

No I doubt it simple fact is ninja theorys last and only outing was kungfu chaos which sucked, and HS simply looks like goddess of war and thats it.
I played god of war and beat it in under 6 hours on spartan dificulty, didn't feel the need to beat it on the dificulty that opens up after that.
Im gonna play god of war 2 cause im a completist but I've had enough of button mashing gods for this gen.

I'll say it again:  Heavenly Sword = God of War - Kratos + Hawt Chick + teh better graphics.  I'm predicting it to come in with mid to upper 8 range on GS.  Also,  I HATE the phrase:  KILLER APP.  I guess you could technically call a video game a software application, but that sounds so boring.  IMHO, MS Word is a software application.  Heavenly Sword is a game.  All you system wars people, go to your nearest mirror and say these words:  "Heavenly Sword is Gonna be a KILLER APP!!!!"  Now tell me, after hearing yourself say that, was the first thought in your mind this?  "Wow, that sounded dorky as hell".  To each their own, buzz-words and buzz-phrases annoy me for whatever reason.  Marketing people love them, so they are here to stay.

Ps3 won't have any killer apps you gotta wait for ps4

then when you waste 600 or 700 dollars on your ps4 then you can wait five months and still have no good games just like you do now with your ps3

I don't want it to but I do smell the distinct odor of floppage on this one for some reason. I may be wrong, but just not that often.

I agree, and I'm geeky for life.  I can't explain why "Killer App" bugs me.  Back to topic:  Heavenly Sword will come in within a couple tenths of 8.7.  Whoever reviews it will praise teh graphics and gameplay, but will knock it for originality.  Future prediction complete.

It definitely looks like the first great action game on next gen consoles. Kung Fu Chaos was still a pretty fun game.... but Sony is putting a lot more money & development into Heavenly Sword.

I agree that it does look like a next gen GOW with a female lead..... but that's awesome!:D Because the only thing that could have been better would have been an actual next gen GOW. This game definitely has potential to be a killer app and will go a long way to help me hold out for GOW3!

I think AA.  AAA might be stretching it from what I've seen.  Certainly looks pretty kick ass though.

Beat God of War in less than 6 hours inmedium difficulty? I doubt it. Took me at least 3 times that to beat it. The game isnt one to be beaten in 6 or less hours

this game definately has potential. it has a good direction, lets just hope the developers execute it properly. whether or not its AAA, I believe it will be a great game, with good reviews and good marketing, this game can be huge.

It looks like it has a good chance of being a killer app, but I said the same with Killzone. I think it'll be very good though

Lemmings are scared that Heavenly Sword will out score Gears of War. Even if it doesnt, it will still be AAA. Dunno whether it will be the first killer app, however not long after its release, Lair comes out and that could also be AAA and a killer app.

I highly doubt it will get 9.7+. GeOW was overrated imo, so Heavenly Sword could be better (for me) but it will not out-score GeOW.

The 360 is already established with several "killer apps".. Why should the lemmings care? If it turns out good then kudos for Sony.. If it flops then Oops there goes another one..

Because Lemmings don't want to share the wealth. They want to steal it from Sony. Each underachieving game for the PS3 means potential defectors to the 360, which is both cheaper and has an established lineup of good games.

After all the hype Motorstorm got, I think it would be wise to stop hyping any game in future just for a while, until the PS3 gets its first AAA.

Did cows/sheep "share the wealth" last gen? Yea that would be a NO good buddy.. Everytime the XB recieved a great title most of the responses would be "it's coming to the PC".. So now that the wii/PS3 aren't getting "quality" titles why shouldn't the lemmings bash.. The other system's will stop getting flak (atleast from me) when they prove that they're worth the price tags..
