Enslaved 4 U

Ah. I see the industry is already getting ready to compete for the "best polygonal ass of 2010" awards.

I saw this a couple of weeks back in a Japanese mag.

the developers actually say that Journey to the West was a big influence on at least the main character if not the story.  He even has a retractable staff. "

I don't know what to to think about it

I am very excited about this game.  Loved Heavenly Sword

heavenly sword. .. a one night stand :/

looks neat but a video would be better

I loved Heavenly Sword.  
It had fun gameplay, great graphics, excellent animation and awesome boss fights and cut scenes!! 

Enslaved 4 U...sounds like a Hentai game or something. lols.

i'm pretty excited to see how this turns out. heavenly sword was, imo, one of the best titles for the first year of the ps3. even today, the graphics and boss fights are awesome.

Agreed. This LOOKs really cool. Let's see how it plays.

Heavenly Sword was highly underrated, was my first ps3 title .  Cant wait to see what these guys have been working on for the past 3 or so years.  Ander Serkis is involved again too so you just know they're going to make every other game in existence look out dated animation wise yet again. Hopefully the gameplay will be on the same level or at least close to it.  My moneys on third person character action title with emphasis on combo driven melee combat while the ai character acts as backup/special attack similar to Elica in Prince of Persia.

This looks fucking awesome. Don't know what you guys are talking about. Maybe you just haven't played Heavenly Sword.

Check out the forth screenshot. Anybody think the dude looks a bit like Fred Durst?

Looks pretty cool, need more info on it.

Bah, I was hoping for a game where Britney Spears is my slave.

This reminds me of Ubi's latest Prince of Persia... maybe it's the art style they have, or the characters, or the vibrant colors I dunno...

Hells Yes! Heavenly Sword is amazing and has top notch cinematics with the best villain of all time. So glad ninja theory are doing a similair type of game...
 
@tedbear  your opinion is complete and utter shite, even if you didn't enjoy the game you cant deny the cinematics were top notch and for an early release it had great graphics.

Heavenly Sword was compete and utter shite so why should this be any better?

Heavenly Sword's general critic reception was 100% dead-on so I need to be convinced on why this won't be a rental like HS, especially with a heavily inspired Nariko.

I'm really not a fan of action/ brawlers but Heavenly Sword is one of the most enjoyable experiences I've had, not just on the PS3 but in gaming in general. It was goofy in places but the action was simple and satisfying and the story contains to date the best damn characters, scripting and acting  I've seen in any game. If they've got the likes of Andy Serkis and Rhianna Pratchett working on this it's going to be awesome.

" Heavenly Sword did nothing for me. Hopefully this will be better. "

Cool, looks interesting.  Might be good.

Yes... you should be sorry. 

Hey, there's color in some of those screenshots! What kind of post-apocalypse is this?!
 
I think it looks aesthetically pleasing and sounds like it has an interesting story. Need more info.

Heavenly Sword did nothing for me. Hopefully this will be better.

But I wanted Kai...

Screen shots look alright I guess. This isn't much to go on for a game I haven't heard of before. Wait and see I guess.

Doesn't seem to enticing... But this is just a first look on my part, who knows what will happen in the months to come.

I was really looking forward to some Britney, too.

" @The_Shanimal: No she looks exactly like her. Maybe she fell into a time machine and lost her memory so now she uses her skills to fight robots "

No need to be sorry Jeff.

Who wants to take bets on which one's Monkey and which one's Trip?

Hehe nice title, Jeff. 
 
Theres something odd and interesting about the look... even if it doesn't pull me in right away. 
 
I like the blue skies. I'm pro Segaish blue skies. 

Looks pretty and badass.

It's quite different actually. The plot starts with Monkey and Trip getting captured. Trip wishes to return to her home, but knows she won't be able to without Monkey's help. But it seems the protagonist doesn't care about other people, and won't willingly help her. She thens put some kind of bandana on him, used to enslave people (hence the title). This bandana forms a type of link between the two, making that if Trip dies, Monkey dies as well. He then finds no other way but to help her.

Oh, and it also seems that the rest of the plot is somewhat based in The Journey to the West, a classic in chinese literature. That's why the main character is called Monkey.

The premise sounds recycled and generic, but the game sure looks great.  Hope they can execute the game well and with more content than Heavenly Sword, possibly with some co-op action?

" @DukeTogo:

Funny how we live in a world where God of War 3 is the most hyped thing in the coming months but a game with a similar gameplay style is "generic".

Heavenly Sword had some really great gameplay elements and had a well-crafted story, the only bad part about the game was it's length.

"

For those that aren't hip on the scene, the game's named Enslaved because Trip has enslaved monkey via the headgear he has. He's the brawn, she's the brains. 
 
When I read about it in Game Informer, it sounded interesting, if only for the story.

Heavenly Sword kinda sucked. Don't know how much I care about this one.

Looks a lot like Heavenly Sword.

Very much so. "

Just what I was thinking.... "
