Behind The Scenes Video Of Heavenly Sword
The Sony sponsored blog Three Speech just posted behind the scenes footage of the upcoming PS3 hack’em slash’em fest, Heavenly Sword.
Weta studios is providing their digital facilities to motion capture actors for the game. The studio has done astounding work in 3D animation and motion capturing for the Lord of the Rings trilogy and King Kong as well. Andy Serkis who played Golum and Kong is taking the helm as the Dramatic Director for Heavenly Sword. Not only will he be motion capturing several characters in the game, he is also directing all of the motion capture scenes. They are even capturing facial movements, to translate them into realistic performances for their digital counterparts.
I was impressed by the first screenshots of the game, way back when we thought the sixaxis was a boomerang. Now the title looks like it is shaping up nicely. The PS3 is starting to look pretty tempting.

Did you realize that on Heroes the Sony products are heavily displayed? First it was the PSP on one very beloved character. And in the last episode, some gameplay of Heavenly Sword was shown. Nicky and Mika played it.
I noticed that on Heroes too last night.
This made me happy though as I don't feel as foolish that I spent so much money on my ps3. Now it just has to hurry up and come out :p
ohh holy wow, it looks great but im so over the "bad-ass-chick-against-the-world" theme,
other than that, the visuals are orgasmic!
The graphics of this game are improving quite steadily. The e3 demo which was promising, had pretty simplistic facial features. That seems to have changed significantly for the better. This game is set to impress.
The appearance of the system and game during the show admittingly had me and my roomie's eyes rolling.. As poor as they were, just how in the world could they afford a ps3? And playing a as of yet unreleased game.. ugh.. that took me completely out of the show for a moment.
I think it's incredibly ironic that no-one talks about the actual gameplay in this clip. Sure Andy Serkis has talent and I'm sure the game will look good, but will it be fun or even remotely 'new' in terms of gameplay?
She's a killer!!!!!!!!! That's whyshe can afford it.
