14 DAY TRIAL // In the picture, you'll see Heavenly Sword's protagonist Nariko, in high definition and amazingly well captured to show just how great of a title the PlayStation3 is getting. Or is it? Not that the game isn't going to hit the console, 'cause that's a fact (it launches some time in this year's first quarter) but there is one question that needs to be answered for us to believe what we see in the picture: is the whole game going to be like that, or is this just some nice snapshot of what looks best in the game?
The developer, Ninja Theory posted a few revealing facts about the game, on the game's official website: "Heavenly Sword is a stunningly beautiful martial arts drama designed exclusively as a next-generation console game." So, from starters we have somewhat of a clue that the game will indeed have great visuals. "The storyline concerns a girl with only a few days left to live who embarks on one final act of redemption against a king and his invading army. Heavenly Sword employs state-of-the-art technology and gameplay to take players through a roller coaster of emotion and action that truly exploits the potential of gaming as the new artistic entertainment medium."
Take a look at the mouth and the nose. OK, now imagine that face moving and keeping the shadows, the lighting and Nariko's shiny lips. Are PS3 owners in for the title of their life or what? Maybe... Of course, people will remain skeptical until there will be a trailer available to show perhaps the part in which this picture was captured.
