I'd be lying if I said that wasn't epic.

Hope the videos come to PSN on Thursday... it'd be cool to watch them on my TV instead of streamed via internet

Wow, I thought that was suppose to be a G.A.P. exlusive. How the hell and why the hell did gamevideos get it?

Well thats cool. I was looking for something on the story of the game, so that kinda helps a bit.

Anyway, this is really cool and I hope I get to see an HD version wether it be on the BD with the game or on the PSN

would be nice if they were on the disc. I'm hoping this is the best game ever.

I wish Ralph Bakshi would come out of retirement and make a movie about this backstory - it would be AMAZING!!!

This style of animation reminds me of the show, Samurai Jack. Anyways this game is going to be great.

@ GAP Members, the video was going to be released to all today, however it was time released, meaning that we were the first to see it, before its releasal today, it had nothing to do with us being the only one to see it period, but we got to see it first.

A Heavenly Sword movie would be godly, animated, cg, or using real actors! Just give me a movie!

I think these are shipping on the game disc... If you let the credits run all the way through on the downloadable demo it lists extra credits for both the "Making of" documentary and the "Animated Series". I can't see why they'd include those unless they're going to be on the disc.
