Heavenly Sword demo done, coming to PSN ... eventually

     PS3

 So I don't know what you guys were doing last Thursday, but I was playing Heavenly Sword in a dimly lit Sony arcade, tucked beneath Santa Monica's Le Merigot hotel. Jealous much? Would it make you feel any better if I told you the game was total crap, and I spent most of my time playing Singstar instead? Sorry, can't do that -- Heavenly Sword is pretty freakin' sweet.

But here's the good news -- the team at Ninja Theory have completed a demo and it's ready to go, pending Sony's approval. Lead developer Mike Ball from the Ninja Theory message boards

People at home really want to get hands on too. Well, let me just tell you all that the dev team has finished work on the demo.. that's it... it's in the bag... so now it's a case of Sony deciding when they feel is the best time to release it to PlayStation Network.

The game is in the final stages of development, with the team currently working out the final bugs. Word has it the game will be released in September, so we shouldn't be waiting that much longer for the demo. In the meantime, check out these E3 screenshots of Heavely Sword and don't drool on our rug.

I heard that Joe Burling, after haggling with Satan himself, tore out his own femur bone with his bare hands and then cracked it in half to use as a make-shift writing utensil . He jammed the bone pen in his own black heart, drawing out his lifeblood, then scrawled his earthly name onto a parchment of tanned human flesh, signing away his mortal soul.

All of this... to become the world's greatest internet tipster.

I did the same thing last week, and bought a PS3. Welcome to the greatest sitcom on earth.

From what I've heard: UK is getting it on July 26. US will get it either this Thursday, or on the same day as the UK.

golemnist is correct in his commentary... I keep my PS3 and 360 separated with a Wii... Seems to keep the balance whenever they break out into a fight. That 360 is a viscious little mother.

i had to separate my PS3 & 360,the 360 kept teabagging the PS3. PS3 could only say " just you wait,my time will come"

Well, I’m really excited for this demo, and I’d certainly like something new to try out on my PS3, but...I’ll believe it when I see it available for download on the PSN. Sony has a history of putting out demos of games that have been already been released (cases in point: MLB 2K7 and NBA 07, among others). I’m sure it’ll be awesome, though...
