Some pretty new Heavenly Sword scans

Hmm, call me crazy, but I'd rather take Final Fantasy XIII's Lightning out for coffee than Heavenly Sword's Nariko. Why? Uhhh... check out the latest screens/scans from the latter's game and you tell us. Yeah, you'd feel safe if Nariko was having a good time and you suddenly get surrounded by a plethora of ninjas, but what if she asked for decaf and you forgot? Something tells me she'd be less receptive than Lightning.

Anyway, these latest scans show the long red-haired heroine dealing some major deathblows to some masked peons, as well as Jeux-France's confirmation that indeed, the game is due out in March for the North American crowd. Which is really strange, since the latest EGM threw this title out in their "Fall '07" lineup. But of course, this is the same EGM who hosted a poll asking "What's wrong with the PlayStation Store" and 55% of the voters said "It's not XBox Live". I mean, I don't like cheese because it isn't ice cream. Sure, both are dairy, but I'm ignorant and take advantage of a poll without any screening questions.

Wow, we're getting off topic. Although, not much to be on topic about. Check out the scans and get pumped up for March!

so she's a little fiesty. that's just the way i like em.

So Sony turned around and said that the 'confirmation' of a march date was wrong. If you go to the sony PS3 site now, it says that it is coming out 'during 2007' or something, as opposed to what it used to say of 'march 06 2007'.

Looks like its gonna be a while longer... :(

man, i truly hope not. this is my most anticipated game for ps3, right above motorstorm and lair.

i would only forgive if the delay was to make sure the gameplay was top notch (even thosgh those gameplay vids i saw from E3 were very impressive.), ensure a long enough game to throughly satisfy, and to give proper marketing ahead of time up to get the gamers palate wet across the board. it seems like, what 11-14 games are scheduled to come out in march? i don't want HS to get lost in that mess of action and then have a drought afterwards reminicent of the drought of games after the psp launch. it may be a better thing to have it ready as summer backup. and to get people behind the game ahead of time. proper marketing is what gets games like gears of war and god of war to platinum status and i strongly believe heavenly sword deserves the treatment. (even though i would still be upset about the delay. this is THE game that i want for my ps3 right now. i'll just let AC4 tide me over (and AC4 bette have good online multiplayer too.))
