So Heavenly Sword? Epic. Heavenly Sword. Beautiful. Heavenly Sword Sales. Top 10. Epic. There. But that dosent seem to be stopping the guys who brought you Heavenly Sword. During a recent Focus group:
They initially asked for video game background, then they had a follow-up phone call asking which games I had played or owned, focusing heavily on Heavenly Sword. There were 3 surveys done on Monday, groups of 6 for the first 2, 4 for the last group (my group). Predominantly males, asking about our impressions on Prince of Persia, God of War, Ninja Gaiden and, of course, Heavenly Sword. Some questions were asked about why Heavenly Sword didn’t sell so well, what our impressions were on the gameplay, how the cutscenes were done, combat mechanics.
Later the source goes on:
At the end of the night they gave us a few pieces of paper and asked our takes on the ideas (probably already set in stone). The following are the sheets that they asked our opinions on:
1. Heavenly sword 2 will take place 10 years after the events in heavenly sword 1
2. The main character will be a male with martial arts background
3. The main character will be Kai, but she will be a more mature woman.
4. The game will require you to master different martial arts styles before retrieving the heavenly sword
5. The game will, instead of button mashing, have controls that utilize an analog stick to go through weapons.
6. The game will have downloadable weapons, characters, and enemies to customize your experience.
7. The game will be more interactive with the environment
8. The game will have you on a storyline with replayable missions, as opposed to an open world.
