I liked the story and characters so I am fine with it. When did Ninja Theory say they had no interest in making another one?

timbers_WSU
During E3 2010, when Shaun was a doing live interview featuring the game, Enslaved. Viewers were all wanting answers about a sequel to HS, and the gead of Ninja Theory bluntly stated, "it's not happening, at least not by us."

http://m.ign.com/articles/2013/04/24/heavenly-sword-movie-in-the-works I don't understand why they're making a movie to a game that didn't have commercial success, and the developer - Ninja Theory- has no interest in making a sequel to. Personally, I liked this game but this is weird. Ratchet & Clank will appeal to kids, but nobody (outside some Sony fans) knows about Heavenly Sword.

The game was mediocre at best, however the storytelling was actually pretty decent (while a bit too short), the plot was nothing special though. How about make a Bioshock movie instead?

If they don't use the phrase "twing twang" at least once in the movie, I'm going to be disappointed.

What does that matter?  They're not only going to try to appeal to gamers?  That's what advertising is for.

I cannot attest to the commercial viability of a HS movie..... But I can attest to the excellent story within the game and the prequel animations, that could make for a great movie. Probably not, though.

Maybe Sony trying to make movies for some of there games, so they can make money from the movie and the game. Maybe on PS4 they are planning a part 2.

 

So people that watch the movie will be like cool, now I want to check out the game.

People that play the game, will be like I want to watch the movie now.

 

So its a win, win for Sony, Good marketing. I am sure now that there will be another Heavenly sword game.

every time i see this salute, i can't help but picture that it's one of those "it's been an honor serving with you" salutes, kinda like the captain in a sinking ship, or the marines at a funeral.

Was anybody actually asking for this?  :|

A few years ago I was mildly interested in picking up this GoW clone when it hit the bargain bin, but then I found out how short it was.

I don't see how with Heavenly Swords ending unless Kai wields it in the next game.

A few years ago there were rumours about an HS2 with a male protagonist. A prequel game telling the story of that savior that saved Nariko's tribe thousands of years before (the first guy wielding the heavenly sword) would be my guess

Why not? The game was awesome and the story was a bit incomplete. I just worry about them getting it right on the silver screen....which they rarely do when it comes to games as the source content.

Game sold over a million copies and was 5 hours. That's a success to me. Heavenly Sword had great characters and an awesome story so, I'm all for a animated movie. Live Action is a no no for all video games.
