Heavenly Sword will FLOP HARD!!

ok, to everyone who said no jump button is fine. well, its not, if i want to freaking jump and dodge an attack, guess what, you CAN'T DO IT ..!!

or if i want to be cool and jump up then land an attack with the power mode sword, guess what, you CAN'T DO THAT TOO!!

more over, that means there's no platforming element in the game. so basically you just walk walk walk, until you find some enemies, then fight fight fight, so boring~!!!

heavanly sword will suck because its made by nintendo.

DEJ254

What?

This is obviously the same demo they has at a past trade show, (i've definately seen a few vids of the demo on the net ages ago) so its probably a very old build that got McGuyver'd into a public release demo, so any frame dips, VSync issues will most probably be completely cleared up by now on the current build.

The gameplay is actually quite deep, mastering the blocking/countering system will take alot more time than any technique on GoW did, Ranged and Power attacks only work well on particular enemies so you need to be constantly switching them out, which adds yet another element to the combat that you'll have to pay attention to.

I really hate when people bash a demo/beta because they will most likely be flawed in some parts by their very nature.

this game is no AAA material. everything is medicore or downright sucks.

the flamerate has problem, no jump button, combo feels weird, the 3 stances system doesn't execute well, like i can heck everybodyjust by using the range mode by itself, there's no feeling of balance whatsoever, and don't get me started with the art style. so STUPID..!! the chick is nothing like typical asian girl ...

nobody should hype this trash. :?

I didn't notice any framrate problems... :|

No jump button? Timsplitters didn't have a jump button, does Timesplitter suck also?

Combos feel fine.

3 stance system works great.

If you feel like you can beat the whole game only using the range stance... well, you won't

Art style looks great. :|

Nariko is hot though! :P

No jumpo button, wow r u dumb, timesplitters is a FPS and it was a bad game by many ppl, and this game is a action adventure and not being able to ump is retarted, everyting else you stated is either arguable or true though

timesplitters was a bad game? hahahahahaha

Just out of interest, does anyone think it will be better than God of War? Obviously the graphics are better, but gameplay, localé and enemy wise.dommeus

its still too soon to tell

are we playing the same demo? i found it short and sweet and loved what the game has in store for us. you cant base everything of a 5 min demo and theres still a lot of time left for polish. cant wait to pick up another hit franchise.

You are obviously a n00b to this genre. All those you mentioned you can't do, I have done them. ITS IN THE FRICKEN COMBO LIST HOW TO LAND WITH AN ATTACK

:|

yeah, i know, i have pulled this off too, you can smash up the guy in the air and then you can start doing combo, but thats only when you do certain combo first. what i mean is games like DMC and NG, keep jumping jumping, until you find a group of enemies then land on them with an big attack.

plus, you didn't debunk my saying about no platforming element in the game ..........:|

BTW in Devil May Cry you don't "keep jumpin until you find a group of enemies and attack them" that's Ninja Gaiden. Devil May Cry is more about taking those group of enemies and attacking them in the air with combos.

Try Again.

Actually some of the things he says makessense ( jump is necessary for a god of war type game, hell i cant think about playing god of war without jump!!)

I have not played the demo though!! And i do think it'll be a AAA game!!

Ahh but the jump button is not a necessity inside the battle mode of GoW... It's mostly outside of it tho... platforming and such.

In the battle mode of GoW you can perform jump attacks by pressing buttons and using combos outside of the jump button... Still you can and I did use the jump button a lot in the game, when it came to battle but in any case thats mostly my point about HS back there, that as long as it haves that, it won't be too bad in the battle mode at least... What does this say about the game outside of that? I have absolutely no idea...

Game13a13y

Well... its on the forum, IT MUST BE TRUE!... that settles that, nobody will hype it anymore...

DID YOU PLAY THE SAME GAME THE REST OF US DID? The demo of HS showed off what is going to be an awesome game. The attack stances are incredible! The combos are amazing! The graphics are some of the best so far this generation! I guarantee to those who say this game wont score well that it gets no less than 8.5 here at GS!!kungfuchaos

yeah, i made 2 PSN accounts, i have one for US, and one for HK. that enables me to download both things on the US network and JP network.

Its funny to see people say "don't judge a game by a playable demo". FNR3 sold thousands of gamers because their demo was good. If a company does not want you to judge a game before release they should not give a demo.kuu2

And IMO, the full game of FNR3 turned out worse than i expected after playing the demo and loving it, so it just shows dont base decisions entirely off a demo (which are nearly always based off an early build of the game).

What a joke of an issue to have with the game. I'm pretty sure the devs and artists mixed different influences from different countries. I don't think she was supposed to be anything, just what she is. Grow up.

I hate it when people judge an entire game from the demo, so I'll give you things that will be in the final version.

1. Game is said to be 12-14 hours long with replayability(which is a good length for an action game)

2. It features some of the best animations and character mocap ever.

3. It has another playable character that is nothing like Nariko and will change the pace of the game if you think it's repetitive

4. The demo was from GDC 2007, and the E3 2007 has already improved on all the things that were off in the demo(screen tearing and frame rate drops).

5. We know that there are enourmous architecture and draw distance filled with puzzles.

6. It has the best cut-scenes ever put into a videogame, says multiple previews.

im pretty sure this guy either

A. Sucked at the demo, was pissed about it, and just says it sucks

B. Didnt actually play it

C. Is a little Mommas boy

this demo rocked... multiple gaming sites said so... and so did probably the biggest one IGN...

I dont think it'll flop hard. I think it's a good god of war clone but from what I've seen GoW seems more fun.darklord888

do you ever read anything, there was an article like a few days ago on the net that said this is not godess of war, god of war is a fun button masher this is a perfected sword fighting game with percise controls

I watched the demo they showed on Kotaku today and it was showing the whole 2nd chapter much longer then the demos most were able to play. I did not see anything impressive. I think AA at most. It is just the basic hack n slash.rybe1025

No, it really isn't.

I saw the full second stage demo of Heavenly Sword on Kotaku and it's not all hack n' slash, there are puzzles, cannons, bowing arrows, unlockable combos, finishing moves and great cut scenes as an award for completing certain stages.

I hypeHeavenly Sword high AA to low AAA (it might get an AAA because of the cut scenes.)

So many people are able to predict the future on GS that it's just amazing. An, btw, you guys complain about everything. You bash it for being a NGS rip off but when there's no block butto (you know, so the game feels like something different) you bash it for not having a block button. You say its a GOW rip off but when there's no jump button you complain? I see a pattern here: no matter what you're going to complain. Hopefully the reviewing editor doesn't have this same attitude.
