Heavenly Sword Demo was ...well.... Heavenly!

This demo rocked.... I will admit it was short and it takes a couple of runs through to get a handle of the combat system.... but once you do this game is awesome.... beautiful graphics and fun combat.... hopefully the final game is long and theres some replayability to it... so far so damn good though... IGN liked it alot...

I couldn't get over the blatent frame rate issue, if you couldn't read the post in one of the other 5 floating Heavenly sword threads. I don't understand why you would make a choppy game out of a HACK AND SLASH, the developers had to of known there would be many different enemies on screen at once.coreygames

....? to be perfectly honest with you i didnt notice any framerate issues.... it could be a tad faster but the framerate stayed at a solid pace for me.... never slowed down... and im not just making that up... i would be honest about framerate cause i believe it is very important for a game like this to have a tight framerate but.... i didnt have any issues with it

I can honestly tell you calling it a hack-n-slash is doing it injustice.

I had no framerate issues. At least none that really bothered me. After reading some of these posts, I want to go check it out again. I was upset that it is basically two battles. You really only get a taste. The auto block is also a little strange. Regardless, I am buying this game.dhjohns

I don't understand why is everyone bashing this game....:|

IMO the combat was deeper, and more fun then NGS, GOW, DMC, or any action adventure game with a sword in it. :shock: SERIOUSLY.

People who buttoned mashed the game are ignorant.

Check out this link on the proper way to play HS and to have fun with the combos and stances.

and frame-rate issues? all I see are a bunch of lemming boys lost from home.

My meaning is that there is no button for it. You can adjust your stance to block different hits (hard or fast for example). But there is no block button like there is for NGS or GOW. This is not necc. a bad thing. It will just take some adjusting to.

lol, well there is a block button. 2 of them...you explain it in your own post.

Um no there is no "block button". You can change your stances (L1 and R1) which in turn "automatically" block different type of attacks. Why do I feel like I am talking to a wall? NGS and GOW have a specific block button. HS doesn't. Does this ruin the game? Not at all. It just is weird that she automatically blocks seeing as other games like this have a block button. Again, changing your stances only changes what hits you automatically block. So in conclusion there is NO block button. Thanks for playing.

lol yes it really isnt that complicated. I understand what your saying. I personally don't think it makes the game better or worse but different. It takes some getting used to. I think that alot of the people bashing the game are button mashing and not paying attention to the "stance" system. Once you realize how to do it (I played through it a couple of times), it works quite well.

When people say the combat sucked, I bet they didn't even try to chain moves or do combos. The axe guy probably destroyed them because they realized the enemies weren't stupid and actually block, so their button mashing didn't work, so they complain.
Finale-

This games a steaming pile and ninja theory won't be getting my money.Ocktober17

pathetic

Man this is the only reason I want a PS3 for this year.

yeah, some framerate issues, but nothing big. i did see a lot of scrfeen tearing though (like horizontal line moving in the screen).

combat is great. i didn't like that you can't jump and thatyou can't look around freely...

The game won't support 1080p(I can live with that,just about).The game won't support 1080i(come on,now your taking the P*ss).

When asked on the ninja thoery forum why this was the case they accused the poster of trolling but eventually answered the question "Lack of RAM".

The devs said this-

Noticable points

- the demo is an old build probably from last years demo since its exactally the same level
- the game has improved significantly from the demos build
- many glitches are fixed
- sound issuses have also been fixed
