Heavenly Sword: character design and combat system

Following in the wake of an interview with Andy Serkis, we now hear more from Ninja Theory and their feisty PS3 title, Heavenly Sword. We've got two videos today from ThreeSpeech, one on character design, the other on combat systems.

We've embedded the first video below, as found on GameTrailers. In it, ThreeSpeech gets the 411 from lead character artist Laura Kippax. She talks about how she was able to directly work on modelling and designing everything about Nariko (from the hair to the martial arts). Not only that, but we also get a glimpse of what seems to be Nariko's "partner."

Hey, if Xena had a Gabrielle, Nariko should definitely have a Kai... Check it out:



Now we could also embed the other video interview - the one on combat systems, with lead combat designer Sia Tong Man. However, we'd have to leave that behind the jump. Some of you guys may have heard about the combat system before, but as usual, you can also find some new game footage every now and then in these vids, so keep your eyes peeled!

You can click the Read link below to head on over to ThreeSpeech for the Combat System Interview video.

They don't have

to sell this game to me anymore... it is my priority, all other games comes second. Assassins Creed and GTAIV will have to wait in line. Might even get Drakes Fortune first before those games and then there's Rachet and Clank and even Haze and Warhawk. honetly it's hard to schedule it all that some games will have to wait for 2008 to get slotted in my PS3.

Wrong Ninja!

I guess gino must have its ninja developers crossed as it's Ninja Theory and not Team ninja developing this tittle. :)
