Do to your inability to buy games they gave up on making a game exclusive for the PS3 to start making multiplat games.

Due to their inability to make a game that justifies a $60 price tag, I refused to buy their game.

So I rented it.

And I'm fine with them making the game multiplat. More people can experience their good storytelling. That was my favorite thing about Heavenly Sword.

Typical fanboy response :lol:

Its not true but its still funny :lol:

Seriously, the game wasn't worth $60. Not for 5-6 hours for a single play through and no real reason to replay it. I doubt you would have bought the game had it been on your console of choice.

I enjoyed Heavenly Sword. They need to be willing to except slow sales of a game early in the life of a console. They also need to realize it takes time to build a franchise. I think they should keep going with it. Heavenly Sword has everything it needs to become a hit franchise. I hope they don't give up on it.

Not everyone who owns a ps3 is a cow. I wonder what game they will make? HS looked pretty cool just too short.

It seems the game didn't sell well because it wasn't worth buyng. I'd say the prospect of no seuql is not a big losss.

I agree, but when that was probably the only decent game on the PS3 more people should have bought it.

Oh no! Cows have to share an IP!

Horrors! God forbid a company wants to make some money and develop for more than one console. That's TERRIBLE!

I mean, why would they want a part of the buckets of money that multiplatform developers are making when they could just slave away for just one platform!

Bu bu the fans! :cry:

Please. It ain't the end of the world. Who knows? Maybe this will be one of the games that might actually be better on the PS3 for a change..

That being said, Ninja Theory is a sub-par developer. I said it before Heavenly Sword and until I see otherwise, that's pretty much how I feel about them.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Oblivion and Resistance were out at the time. I think PS3 gamers, who had a PS3 at that time, had some good games that were relatively long and offered a lot more than Heavenly Sword did.

It's funny, every 360 fanboy claimed HS sucked, was too short, blah blah blah. But soon as Ninja theory does a multiplatform game they say that PS3 owners should have bought it so they wouldnt go multiplat. Amusing.

So instead of getting HS2 which some cows would say is better than NG( I lol at those who believe that); they get an entirely new game(which might not be on par with HS) and it isn't exclsuive.

Nah, Ninja Theory will have to spend time porting the game this time, so it will probably be 4 hours.

:P just kidding. Still will be watching to see what this title will be.

its not the the fault of the customers of the ps3 it is infact the fault of the developers of the HS game! the game was great but its length, replyability and value were not worth the purchase of the game. because im pretty sure with a 6hour campaign it could be completed in one nights play through or 2 nights max. the devs could have made it longer, more varied in combat etc etc. their next game seems to be an improvement of the problems of HS. im just hoping the game is wayyyy longer

Another generalization? :lol:

Some gamers enjoy the game, some didn't. Doesn't dismiss the fact that the game was short and not worthy of the price tag of $60, which is why the sales were low for the game. Its the developer's fault, not the gamers that the game sold so poorly.

I play Heavenly Sword and like it a lot. Sure, it was too short, but it was very well made, except for some framerate dips. I can't wait to see what Ninja Theory has cooking for the 360 and PS3.

I didn't like the demo, but a lot of people in SW said it was awesome and it it got an 8.0 here. I would call the game decent.

This was more about the disappointment of there not being a HS 2. While I didn't like the game if some improvement were made in the sequal I could see myself liking it.

It's not a matter of anticipating the next game, that's just dandy. It's the fact that lemmings are saying cows should have bought HS even when they themselves see it as a bad game. Doesn't make much sense to me.

I had fun with HS for what it was but it was too short with practically no replayability. I feel the same with Uncharted. Great game but too short with hardly any replayability. If HS was GOW length, then i could see myself enjoying it much more.

I really liked HS as well. It is my favorite game on the ps3, but it sure seems like they have given up on it.
