Would you want Santa Monica to work on Heavenly Sword 2?

Seeing as how they're the guys working on God of War III, would you like to see them do the Heavenly Sword sequel since Sony still owns the IP?

I think they could do it. I'm not particularily familiar with their work, but they've got two huge installments to live up to with GoWIII and I'm sure they realize this. That being said, when they're done with that game, I'm willing to bet they could pull something equally amazing off with Nariko.

No.. because they didn't make the first one.. Ninja Theory did.. i'd rather an entirely new IP.americahellyeah

Prequel sequel :D

Or a completely different heroine. I mean, it could work.

:shock:

I think you might have something there..

wait i didn't really answer your question:

I would like to see a sequel, even if i think thye should make one, and i have no idea if Santa Monica studios would make it better (you would hope they would), and that's only IF they in fact take the project out of ninja's hands

also, i'm getting a sense that you have a craving for female leads... and i'm getting a vibe you're not one of those "i support woman's rights" kind of guys :P

lol, Women's rights.. yeah, I guess you could say that.

I don't know, I just find female leads to be more interesting than male ones, but the male ones, when done right, are some of the best around (i.e. Drake).

Thats a tough one to answer...... the first God of war is David Jaffe's creative brain child. He left the God of War team after the first installment. Then Cory Balrog who was a concept artist for the first game took over as creative Director. I thought he wasn't going to do a good job, but he did, and to boot was able to make a game that in my opinion surpassed its predeccesor in every way imaginable. Cory was hand picked by David Jaffe before he left which was a good sign for any fan of GOD of War. Then not to long into the preproduction of God of War 3 Corey Balrog just up and left the company...... so now I have no Idea who the heck is working on three. I can already tell the tone has changed with newest trailers, and I hope they don't screw it up.

As far as Santa Monica studios working on Heavenly sword while the thought is nice. I just don't think it would amount to anything possitive. Ninja Theory did a great job on such a short game because they had a passion for what they were working on. If there is no passion from the developer I think that the game ultimately will fall flat and fail...... thats my gist of the situation.

Regardless of who makes it, I want the series to continue. The series isn't about Nariko, but the sword itself and all the controversey around it, therefore, I feel the story is unfinshed, regardless of how the first game ended.

Ninja Theory held a focus group before officially announcing they will not continue the series, and some of the ideas they kicked around were pretty sweet.
