Not going to lie, I'm flat-out disgusted on this one. There has to be a measure of honesty in the interactions between a producer and a consumer, and Ninja Theory told us that HS2 was coming, was practically inevitable. They made us a promise, and they've broken that promise. And they don't seem to feel any remorse over that.

I don't really care WHAT they come out with from now on– they won't get my patronage. Ninja Theory has lost my trust, and they have lost my money. I'm willing to gamble that the second loss hits them harder.

It really is sad were not going to get a second Heavenly Sword. Its seems that “Company's” worry about what brings more money than actualy what makes us gamers happy.

Yeah that’s definitely true….I don’t know why I wrote that. I still wish they were making more heavenly sword.

The storyline was already set out for the next two games, so that wasn’t a problem. They just aren’t making it.

I was sad to hear that they aren’t making a sequel to heavenly sword. I know Nariko is dead, but couldn’t they make a prequel, or bring her back somehow? I know it’s similar to GOW but I never really got into that series. I really enjoy Heavenly sword.

I agree. Needs a sequel. In my opinion, I felt the fighting / counter system was better than GOW. Storyline was pretty good (not GOW good). Was the 1st game to use the sixaxis wisely, made for some really fun cannon segments. 8 hours was way too short however. Id hoped we’d get a second version that was 2 times the size and with even better graphics.
All in all an excellent game, would really be too bad if Sony didn’t pick it up.

I was hoping for good news regarding sequels to this much under appreciated game by Ninja Theory but now I’m deeply crushed by their announcement of abandoning this game. IMO I think SCE should consider developing this game with their own in house game developer with something along the God of War line. No matter who develop it I still want sequels to Heavenly Sword. The game had won my following. I hope this respect and admiration will continue for a long time to come.

The engine belongs to Ninja Theory

Sony should give the engine and assets to the ex-Capcom guys who are making MadWorld.

Boon: Got to disagree with you about both graphical and storytelling elements. NT had Sony beat there.

HS still remains to be some of the best tech/graphics on the PS3, and still has the best facial animation in any game to date.

Could care less w/ God of War 3 in the works. Heavenly Sword/Ninja Theory didn’t even met the standard set by God of War 2/Sony Santa Monica; be it the graphical, gameplay, or storytelling components.
Atleast NT can spread their butter-of-mediocrity over more than one slice of bread this time.

Sony should give it to their Japan Studio, or Sony Korea departments.
