I would love to play as that other girl (Forget her name) ina full game. Maybe learn more about her and her relationship with Nariko.

A prequel, of sorts that ties into Heaaenly Sword

Even ignoring the inability to think outside the the box, as in 'Whole new story and characters, but same universe', there's plenty of room for a sequel just as it is. Kai is still on the lose. Where the sword actually came from could be explored, or other items from that place. A prequel could be done.

Yeah, Heavenly Sword is definitely a closed book as it is.

I thought the same thing, what with them both having long(ish) red hair with a mind of it's own.

This game is such a beautiful and fun breath of fresh air. I loved the demo and people I know that have played the full game have positive things to say aside from some framerate problems and platforming that is a bit too automatic.

I hope there could be a sequel. Too often really good, interesting, and new titles like this are overlooked while we get the 100th installment of a soulless franchise. Let's give the gems some attention instead of turning it into another Psychonauts or Beyond Good and Evil.

@HardBoiled2009 Hrmm, however people are reporting the campaign is about 3-5 hours longer. Still both are quite short. Heavenly Sword was a little upsetting with it's paltry 5 hours.

@Anticrawl any game will be short to a gamer if they play it for hours if not all night long

@Anticrawl

Maybe it was just me, but I wasn't good enough to finish it in 5 hours. It took me almost twice as long. The game was overly difficult in some areas.

9/10 times that had to do with the six-axis controls that I'm sure Sony forced upon them to use. Back when first years titles had to show how (not) awesome it was.

A little early to make that claim isn't it HardBoiled? I like Heavenly Sword a lot. Still own it. I also intend to pick up Enslaved. I hope to like them both in their own unique ways.

You did not 'have' to use the Sixaxis controls. Look at an options screen for once in your life.

Am I the only one to notice the Super Saiyeness?



In other news, sequels ruin already superb scriptwriting, Bioshock for one is treading on thin ice.

Ninja Theory, don't do it, make something using the Enslaved name if you must with similar gameplay, but not a direct sequel, that way if it's a mess, at least we won't hate the original plot and characters for it.

Aren't both Enslaved and Dragon Ball based on the same mythology?

If so, the visual similarities would make sense.

@embassy

Yea they are both based loosely around Journey to the West. You could probably write a book with the list of games/movies/books it has influenced.

@Anticrawl

It's unfortunate, but Enslaved is hardly based on Journey to the West...only thing they have is Monkey and that other Pig character, and some weapons similarity. But other then those, the Story, the Scenery, Elements and Powers and everything else is nothing like Journey to the West.

They only slapped on "Journey to the West" to this game, to try and draw in more consumers.

@embassy Exactly. They are both based on "journey to the west". That's why both fight using a staff, have a transportation cloud and resemble monkeys. In Enslaved, even the main character has something hanging from his waist that resembles a tail.

Odd choice from my perspective. But both are on their way from Gamefly to my house. Considering keeping them if they are worthy.

Yeah but we didn't need a 3 or "4" and Avatar certainly needs no sequel.

How about you trophy patch Heavenly Sword so I can get another 6+ hours out of that? Then we can talk sequels.....cause the demo for enslaved was a let down for me.

I plan on getting Enslaved. Looks unique artistically and the story seemed like it would be entertaining, engrossing, and relatively mature. I'm not sure that I like sequel talk though before the game is even out. Makes me worry that the game won't have a satisfying conclusion.

In unrelated news, games companies admit that they 'would like to make more money' if offered the chance.

Sega and Namco Bandai excluded.

@Anticrawl Cameron didn't direct, produce, or write T3 or Salvation.

Also add Aliens to the list of awesome sequels by Cameron. I still greatly prefer Alien's blend of Sci-Fi and Horror, but Aliens is a brilliant Sci-Fi Actioner.

I'm picking the game up later today and I have high hopes, I loved the demo.

Unfortunately I don't think it will sell that great, maybe 1 - 1.5 million units with PS3 & 360 sales combined.

I bought it, played through chapters 1-3 and loving it. I just wish that I didn't have to buy yet another inferior PS3 port of an Unreal Engine 3 game, JEEZ. But it's not too bad, plays good and looks good. Ignore the demo, it's not representative of the rest of the game in my opinion. They really shot themselves in the foot by releasing that demo.
