Heavenly Sword: Stance video

Posted Jun 4, 2007 at 4:31AM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: PS3 Tags: Nina Kristensen, Ninja Theory
Ó

What we have below is a video interview of Ninja Theory's chief development officer Nina Kristensen talking about the stance controls for their upcoming video game title, Heavenly Sword. We're pretty sure that you will be interested in this one, especially now that the demo for the title has been confirmed.

Basically, stance is concerned with the different weapons available to main heroine Nariko. Depending on her current enemies, you must choose between speed, strength, and other factors you believe is applicable at any given moment. Kristensen also shared that fans will be able to pick up almost anything in the environment and use it as weapon.

Heavenly Sword will be released sometime in Fall 2007.

Cell > you. Oh, and how is it crap? I like how you backup your claims. Like most xbots, you don't have enough brainpower to process a statement longer then 5 words. Go troll elsewhere... like teambox, they enjoy morons like you.

rofl do you even know what a cell is? a cell is a tiny microscopic organism and is compiled in living matter. if cell + crap that means your body + crap

# Sepiroth!Folding Junkie! 2007-06-04 08:59
Can you tell us how the cell works? Can you tell us what it's components are named? Can you do anything but act like a robot? Finally, can you please tell us why it sucks? I won't accept "Just because my XBOX 360 is better," because your POS3 sucks," or anything to do with GoW! So think about it or better yet just go away!

# That is very convincing!Folding Junkie! 2007-06-04 09:21
It totally convinces me that I made the right decision in buying a PS3 instead of following the uneducated sheep like you to the store to buy an XBOX 360 as soon as it became available. I am not saying anything against the 360 except that a large percentage of it's owners are brain dead prepubescent imbeciles incapable of any argument more mature or thought out than yours is.



Then you repeat it! What was wrong with one stupid post? You should have stopped there. If the XBOX 360 is so much better why aren't you playing with it instead of badmouthing that which frightens you the most? When you grow some hair come back and talk to us then, ok! Loser!

# Finally something new...Guest 2007-06-04 10:15
The first part of the movie show us how awesome the animation is. But the quality of the video s**K. From what i can see the graphic are not maximize but they use the cell to make animations and calculations that we never saw before.

# WTF!Guest 2007-06-04 10:57
Where's the blood at? Seriously, the game looks slick and all, but she's cutting up mad fools and not a drop of blood can be seen. Last I heard Ninja Theory was going for a Teen raiting for Heavenly Sword, from the looks of the latest demo this is apparently the case.





PS: Weak, they need a code for blood or something.

# Thanks, FJGuest 2007-06-04 11:23
My main reason in not buying a 360 when it came out was because of bad experiences with the Xbox's audience, and IMO, Live's only gone down hill. Sorry, I just don't like the 12 year olds singing to me as I try to play Halo 2.

# If so that cant be badGuest 2007-06-04 12:49
GoW is AWESOME!!!!!



HS graphics are amazing, combat looks fluid and very cinematic, a lot of WOW moments thats for sure!



Story sounds pretty interesting, this title will be a must have. Well, probably Gamespot will find the way to give a 8.6 score :(

# Combat ?Shatterdome 2007-06-04 12:54
The combat is as fluid as the worst kung-fu movie ever....Seriously, how noobi'ish does it have to be....the guys in the background move around and wait for you to finish beating up the one guy you are fighting, then decide to attack afterwards.....



Either the world this takes place in is full of so much honour that even petty henchmen will only fight one on one.....orrr, it's an extremely noobed out and easy game......either way, Ninja Gaiden will own it.....

# Combat...Shatterdome 2007-06-04 12:57
The combat looks like it's made for 4 year olds.



Seriously, while she is fighting one person the henchmen around her just move around, look like they will attack, then move away and wait for you to beat your one guy, but you are free to attack them....



Pretty lame if you ask me.....either PS3 has horrible AI capabilities or they made this game WAY too easy, so little kids can play it.....



Either way, Ninja Gaiden will own it....

PS3 = .001% failure rate

360 = 70% failure rate (compiled from 10 friends with 360's including myself)



So your argument that PS3 is rubbish is as stupid as you are. 360 has better games now but its time will come. PS3 will overtake it. Heavenly sword is up there with the best 360 games. So all you xbots go and play your awesome shadowrun...

HD! HD!....blu-ray ! blu-ray ! blu-ray !



Get it now...now....now...nooowww....



Glad you can think objectively.....oh wait you can't....



Just because this is a first party game that "everyone" thinks will kick ass and show the "power" of the PS3...does that mean that you automatically obmit the bad things about it ?



Sorry, but no...the AI looks horrible or way too easy, that's a fact...deal with it however you want my man...



Why can't Ninja Gaiden be better, it's also on PS3 in case that affects your answer....and has comparable graphics and enemies that will actually attack you....

# Because...Shatterdome 2007-06-04 16:34
You played the game in it's entirety, so you know this right ?



Damn am I ever sick of people making judgements based on hype.....this is why the PS3 is in the position it is in now....because up until the point it was released it was thought to be the sh*t, now, it's just sh*t.....

# Shatterdome!Folding Junkie! 2007-06-04 17:02
Go home! If you don't like the PS3 then stop talking about it!



Nobody has played it in its entirety including you! So why don't you wait and see if it has adjustable difficulty levels and other ways of adjusting difficulty. You are being as judgemental as any fanboy.



And your opinion about the PS3 being s**t is just your opinion! One that I do not share with you! STFU and t\go away!

# idiotsGuest 2007-06-04 17:21
I think there showcasing the game...not how much you can get beat up in it. If look at ninja gaiden trailers they do the same thing. so get over losers and stop the console war it doesnt even matter anymore ... you little kids..and its funny how you guys reply back to people doing this. IGNORE THEM!! AND THEY'LL GO AWAY!! WHO CARES WHAT THEY THINK AND THERE OPINION LET THEM LIVE WITH IT

Is pretty easy to say this games looks pretty impressive, i dont need to argue with the 360 fanboys, oh i know why, they are comparing this game to Eragon they are such a retards they compare peanuts with apples.

# uhGuest 2007-06-04 18:22
uh...



have you seen Crysis? they dont even shoot at you in that, and you're going to say the AI sucks on that too dont you say?



i mean, even the helicopter cant kill you.



yeah crysis has the worst AI ever because i saw a video of it.



shut up shatterdome.

# lolGuest 2007-06-04 18:27
Shatterdome, saying, you think the game sucks and you never played it?



did you realize what you wrote earlier



"this game sucks because the enemies just sit there, ninja gaiden is better"



lmao, im surprised you are actually this stupid, really.

# uhhh...Shatterdome 2007-06-04 20:10
If you paid attention to and/or seen all the videos on Crysis, the devs themselves said they had God mode on....and the AI was shooting...maybe you didn't notice the player taking damage because they can't, but that's a moot point....the AI in this doesn't even attack....also, some videos of crysis were just to show off the technology behind the Crysis engine and not the game itself.....I honestly can't say what you are refering to, gimme a link to prove the point....or quit making things up...

# Hmmm...Shatterdome 2007-06-04 20:16
Yeah, i'm an idiot because I can make observations ?



The enemies DO JUST SIT THERE...look at the fuxing video....



What are you basing your judgement on that this will be an awesome ass game.....the enemies just sitting there ? or the fat boss ? or the cut scenes with bad animations ? Please, tell me what you observed to say it's so great ?



I have nothing against PS3....jesus, i'm comparing this to ANOTHER FREAKING PS3 GAME....you freaks are just too damned defensive.....



If I actually saw something in this that looked great I would give it kudos....at this point, the only thing that impresses me are the waterfalls....great....



You better hope it has adjustable difficulty, because at this point it's lame....and when trying to show off your game and generate hype...you don't want it to look lame. So ya, i'm judging it on whats been shown to me and that's what I say...

# Please.....Shatterdome 2007-06-04 20:19
Enlighten me on how comparing Heavenly Sword (PS3) and Ninja Gaiden (PS3) denoutes any kind of console war ? Please show me where I even insinuated any type of minor comparison with 360 ?



It's just your overactive and overdefensive little minds that have YOU comparing this to 360 games, and obviously feeling down if you have to keep trying to convince yourself of it.....

yeah, screw those damed cells... always trying to bond together to make lifeforms.



In all seriousness, the Cell Engine is not crap. Simply no one has been able to utilize it fully yet, and they probably won't be able to for quite some time.



As for the AI in the video, I'm sure the game was either set to a very easy difficulty level, or for demoing purposes the AI was turned down to a very low level.
