:blink: How can you say Heavenly Sword looks like ass?

I only played the first 5-10 minutes of it. The cutscenes look great. The game itself looks mediocre at best. And what's with her "hair?" It's not only ugly but it's animated at about 3 FPS and jumping all over the place for no reason. It looks more like a distracting glitch than actual hair.

Maybe I'm just spoiled by Mass Effect and such.

sorry to say, but i think mass effect looks and runs like ass. it's a great game, don't get me wrong, but it's because of the story, not the graphics. you might want to give heavenly sword more than 10 minutes of play time, as the story is pretty good. you'll finish it quick anyway :p

The official response from the dev team was that it was supposed to be like a living thing. It was supposed to animate in a way to convey Nariko's emotion or something (I assume they meant it to do something like show the fire of her soul). It ended up looking like a giant octopus or something. While I didn't love heavenly sword, it was worth playing through as it did prove to be a fun ride in the end. Hated the beginning of the game too, and I'm probably the only person in the world that didn't care for the Kai missions (most seem to prefer those). Still, I have hope for the sequel if one is made.

I get how mass effect could spoil you from an artistic standpoint and storywise (I'm absolutely loving it), but it wasn't as impressive technically as other games to me. The environments don't really match up to the quality of the characters, but the grain and blur filters do help to hide that.

Get your eyes checked, seriously :p Heavenly Sword is ****ing beautiful. Only better looking game right now on the PS3 is Uncharted.

I just bought one a week ago. I can't say I recommend Resistance, especially for someone used to playing 360 shooters. It's pretty sub-par by shooter-heavy 360 standards. The lack of rumble is kinda lame too, and took some getting used to. Hard to believe how much that rumble comes in handy till it's gone.

Heavenly Sword is pretty frickin cool, i gotta admit. I didn't think i'd like it, thought it looked like god of war meets dynasty warriors. But the storyline is amazing, and the game is just fun to play. Uncharted is pretty cool, controls are a little awkward at first but you get used to them pretty quick. Haven't checked out warhawk yet, it's hard to find on disc now (at least it was for me) and i'm not gonna download it, I want the disc. It's in the mail from gamefly now though so i'll finally be on PSN soon.

Mass Effect has plenty of slow downs and blurred detail, perhaps playing more than 5-10 minutes would help?

I don't think I have even turned on my 360 since I got the PS3. I'm really happy I got it.

Glad to see some people around here are actually seeing what the console really has to offer. (Y)
