Quantcast



Sweet Jesus, do I love me some Heroes. I'm talking "Shut up, don't speak to me while this is on or I'll punch your grandmother in the nose" love. That's big love right there.

Now the last thing I'd expect to see are two of the show's characters, Micah and Nikki/Jessica Sanders, playing the upcoming PlayStation 3 title, Heavenly Sword. One might speculate that this puts the Heroes world time line somewhere in our near future (GameStop.com says June), but let's save that discussion for the folks over at the Television Without Pity forums.

The point is this -- the above clip is short and well below average quality, but hot damn! Does Heavenly Sword look sick or what?

The above footage was taken by a Canadian, watching Canadian television; folks in the US will have to wait until tomorrow night to catch this latest episode of Heroes.

[Update: The footage has been updated with a higher quality, direct feed version. Thanks, shag187 !]

hmmm... looks like a context button sequence to me... (hit with captain obvious stick) I suppose I'll watch tomorrow night to see if the quality gets any better... of course, Heroes is a staple of my television like nowadays anyway.

Sick... I got bored of heros at episode 2 but I guess I'll give it a try for you nick *bats eyes*

But Heavenly Sword looks SICK... Hope its worth the months of shelved uselessness of my PS3, and keeps me happy long enough for another above average title to come out. flOw is sexy HD fun, but useless after a few hours.

The last two episodes of that show were so awesome. This upcoming episode is also supposed to have a preview for Spider-Man 3. Hope it's something new and not the stuff we've already seen on the interwebs.

Just watched the new ep... it's decent. Nothing like the last one, but it's starting the buildup again. Next weeks episode looks fuckin' rhombus though.

Thanks for clarifying the game, I was wondering what it was.

Not only are they super heroes, but they can play the GOOD PS3 games, even before they come out to us normal joes.

So they're playing a game that won't come out for months in an episode of the show that won't air for another 6 1/2 hours. I hate living in the past.

@ electro lemon
Every time an actor is playing a game they do that, I don't think Ive ever seen an actor actually play a game on film.

BTW, I hate all Canadians now that I know they get to see Heroes a day early.

Now that's some smart product placement on Sony's part. Unfortunately, if people don't know what that product is... well, not so smart.

This is living! This is living1

That button timing scene is probably real time -- we played a demo at E3 that kicks into a similar finishing sequence when you weaken a boss to finish him off. Here's the video:

So is this the first Playstation 3 used in a television series?

Heroes has truly abysmal writing and deus ex machina should be listed as executive producer. I watch it anyway, but I don't really know why. In fairness though, the last two episodes were a marked improvement.

Perhaps hiro gave them the game, or something...

Nice. I thought heroes rocked from the start. Not like Lost where its season 3 and Im still wondering what the hell is going on.
