(continued from previous page) ...often with some slo-mo and other effects. I've been known to demand "did you see that!?! Did you see what I just did??" to the long suffering guy who sits next to me at work.
PSU: Has Ninja Theory shared their technology used in Heavenly Sword with other developers? If so, what types of things have been shared?
Mostly we share ideas; we're pretty open about what we do and how we do it and most developers are happy to respond in kind. I think the days of keeping techniques secret are largely gone. We all benefit from sharing and it pushes development as a whole forward much more rapidly than if we all had to think up everything from scratch.
PSU: Anything else you'd like to add?
I'd also point out that where we can, we buy high end technology. For example, we use Havok in Heavenly Sword for our physics. Sure, we could write our own physics system but that wouldn't make sense. There are goodness knows how many man-years invested in developing Havok and since it's a good system that does what we want it to do, we can deploy our team to other areas which are unique to the game.
We'd like to thank Ninja Theory for answering all of our questions and we look forward to their next exciting game. Stay tuned to PSU.com for our review on Heavenly Sword.

i finally played this, and god of war is easier, the ai kicked my ass, but that made it better in my opinion.
cool intereview. I need to pick up this game for sure even tho it is short. I'm looking forward to the sequals, too.
and where does it say Nina theory?
The game is the $hits nits.. Its a must have..
this game is really great i can't wait to pick this up on friday. evenythough people say its short, that really does'nt make a game good or bad cuz HOME and the trophies and stuff will keep you interested. its great buy for ps3 users and people thats also anticipated to jump in HOME
rinmatt.....dude the problem is that ur not good....during the whole game i died at MOST 6 times...i beat this game already and i just got it....its ur opinion that GoW is easier but honestly dude GoW is far better then HS...why? story is better...game is longer....music is WAAAAy better....HS i admire the sixaxis add-ons for shooting arrows..the bazooka...even throwing w/e u pick up its pretty fun....but the trilogy for HS!? thats bull5hit...why? cuz nariko dies at the end and kai is in charge of hiding the sword so wth...if its sum1 else like they did with DMC4 it will be a load of crap
sounds like a sweet game, liked the demo (too short). I really dont think the similarity with GOW is a coinsidence accept that GOW is actually a longish game that got really difficult at some points, its such a good game, 1 and 2.
THANx for the spoiler
psn id: gingo... i cant wait to play this tomorrow it's going to absolutely awesome
WTF.....the game is already said to be short, why would you feel the need to give us a spoiler on the release day of the game?? Thank you for the warning, but was a spoiler really called for at this time? Some people really know how to F-up a good thing.

Ahhhhhhhhhh, man!! So the game has been in development for 4 freakin years and it's only a 6 hour game? wtf, Ninja Theory get your act together and pump out a game that will last at least 30 - 40 hours. Come on, this game does look good, but it's not worth it's $60 price tag for only 6 hours of game play. I guess I'm just spoiled with Oblivion's 100+ hours of game play.
I don't know why this game would get and flak. The cinematics alone are fun to watch as though I am watching and playing in a movie.
I'm worried that I may finish this game too quickly. GOW took me a while to complete and if I must spend $60, then I'd much rather get DMC4 when it drops next year. But, I'll keep an eye out for it - just incase I'm convinced to buy it.
Because the last scene was CG... You couldn't tell?
@mystik4l06 - At no time did you write "spoiler' anywhere in your spoiler. stupid.
@ the games duration - this just goes to show that people are trying more to make interactive movies with overkilled graphics rather than video games with some type of replay value. if the game has no on-line play, secrets, or multiple endings, then its gonna be dead on arrival. sure it looks really good, but what else? well, now that they know they can make a really good looking game like this, lets put it into an MMO format that can go on for ages. heck, look that games like Counter Strike:Sorce, Unreal Tournament(the old one), Resistance FoM, and other similar multiplayer games that support more than 30 online at one time. Plus being able to mod it like CSS (zombie hunt ect) and UT (Rpg Mods, Survior mode, Unlimited Jumping, ect), people will continue to play it for years on end until they make an upgrade like UT3. I hope some devs read this and stop half assin games. thanks to that moron mentioned above, i dont want to buy this game now. Looking good is one thing, but im not paying 60+ bucks for a movie.
@Drazden: I read your comments and it left me wondering if you played the same game I did. HS is flippin' amazing, graphically and otherwise. I haven't seen any problems with the framerate, I haven't had any tears, or any number of similar problems.
@kojiro and mystik: YA, no where in your stupid post did you mention the word spoiler. And I read your post and I was like "WHAT!". Totally ruined the ending for me, and who knows how many other people. Are you happy now Mystik? And, Mystik, your next post where you go STFU STFU is just sooo ironic and funny now. Haha, you're the one that needs to stfu.
This game is really good, it has a great story line and great visuals. Its worth having in your collection and the Kai levels are sick when using the motion sensing controls. No complaints here on the game.
cool/
best PS3 game to Date-NO DOUBT!! a 9.5 for me!!
Well if one of those people who buys a game run home pop it in and dont move till you complete it then i guess this game is short....but i didnt bother me, probably because im busy but man the story was awesome and scenes..it pulled me in *SPOILER*........... Especially when Kia "died" *SPOILER*.......... I was shocked and hurt........this is probably the best motion capture i have ever seen.....sounded awesome on my surround sound too......sixaxis section kicked but also....my opinion is that this is a must buy
If you buy this game...soon we see Heavenly Sword II...if not ...???
