Heavenly Sword demo coming Thursday

PS3 News | How heavenly.

Sony has confirmed to Eurogamer that a demo for Ninja Theory's exclusive PlayStation 3 title Heavenly Sword will be available on the PlayStation Network on Thursday.

The game is set for release in September, so gamers are getting quite a preview ahead of the games long awaited release. We recently had an opportunity to go hands on with Heavenly Sword, to have a read of what we thought head over to our preview of the game.

Can't wait to get my hands on this, I hope it lives up to the high expectations I have for it. It's definitely one of the PS3s premier titles, and I hope that Ninja Theory will really deliver! From what I've seen so far it's looking good, this demo will be the ultimate decider, really.

Any word on how big it is?

Man I shouldnt've downloaded all that E3 crap on the 360 marketplace and then my connection wouldn't be capped for this! Argh! I downloaded Blue Dragon, Ace Combata 6, Overlord, Stuntman: Ignition and something else....I forget....anyways I don't know why I downloaded them...I had no intention of playing them and I still haven't (except for Blue Dragon which I tried out for 5 mins)....and now a demo come along that I actually wanna try and i'm capped.

Atleast i'll know next time.....don't go downloading unecessary crap! Quite honestly this is one of the first few times i've been capped as we rarely go over the limit. Damn E3!

^I was thinking the same... i really wan't to play it though but i don't want to ruin it... but then again... i am going to end up downloading it >.> and playing it >.> and drawing perveted fan pics... and fanfics and afraid that i might blow all the steam out before the game comes which could loose hype

I'm not worried about ruining it. I want to play it to see if its any good or not, to see if it warrants a purchase, basically.

Can't wait!

i guess for those who don't want to play cause it might ruin the whole experience, to read reviews of the demo. there should be quite a few floating around here at least of their experiences, so maybe that can relief some pressure

Yeah i'm not that keen on getting the demo as i feel it will ruin the experience. once the game hits shelves, i will look at review scores and general comments, steering well clear of any spoilers. this game will be amazing.

I'm not too concerned about ruining it, for one the demo might not even be of an actual level in the game for all we know, and two, if it is, it's only a very small part of the game and this is more of a tester than a spoiler, to see what we think of the combat system, graphics, etc. The motion capture animation looks excellent.

I'll be getting it ASAP on Thursday.

Apparently there's a Ratchet and Clank demo coming in too. Maybe with HS or maybe not, but who cares, awesome news!

Wow, that would be a double whammy!

I really hope that's true, I really want to play demos of both of them, some confirmation would be reassuring. It's just a rumor for now, but a nice one. *crosses fingers*

Id be willing to download the ratchet and clank demo as im use to playing that game from the ps2 and kinda know what to expect i guess.

^it would be great if we get both demo's at the same time, definitely keep me busy for awhile.

And it should be a safe option for someone who doesn't want to dirty their mind with the hotness of heavenly sword

Thanks for that Luke, I've been looking out for it all day! I checked it this morning before I left for Uni, and I've been keeping an eye on it since then via the PS website.
