Japanese Developers give their thoughts on next-gen consoles

We’ve done this once before, but it’s nice to see if opinions have changed. Since the entire list would be pretty long, you can check out the whole thing if you want. We’ll just cover the Sony end of this business. Yes, sometimes they don’t add up to 100%, we know. There’s always a margin of error. Read on, brave

Heavenly Sword still on track despite PAL delay

Or is it? Says Nina Kristensen, Ninja Theory’s co-founder, “We’ve always been a launch window title so it hasn’t affected us at all,” referring to the PS3 delay in Europe. However, lead animator Guy Midgley said “No, it’s going to be next year…but we haven’t announced a specific date yet.” So… it’s a launch window title (which should be before 2007, right?) but it’s not coming out until next year in the US? Oh. Launch window for Europe! Well, if you put it that way, it makes sense. So, for those of you wondering, Heavenly Sword hasn’t been moved forward in the launch frame, nor has it been delayed. The difference between Japan/North Ameria launch window and the European launch window might have caused a few rumors to spark into existence, only to be snuffed out by a little bit of common sense.

Heavenly Sword screens and vid... Sony owns TGS!

Maybe that last phrase was unnecessary, but it doesn’t matter. There has been so much eyebrow-raising at Sony’s stuff at the Tokyo Game Show that all the bad news prior seems to be fading into, er, oblivion. Anyway, Heavenly Sword has a few high-res screens up here, and also a video to download. Just navigate around the question marks and the video’s under the blue question marks next to the “mpg”. If that doesn’t work, you can always look for another video… there’s a few over at IGN. It’s more arena brawling, but it doesn’t matter when the game looks this fun. November is so far away… not that this is a launch title, but even so, we want our PS3. We knew the Tokyo Game Show would change many people’s minds! Hooray!
