How Heavenly It Became

I love videos. They're better than screenshots. Hell, I download every single videos available on the PS-Store in HD just for the sake of viewing the glorious movement created by human - be it computer generated or not.

That aside, here's another video. This time of Heavenly Sword. I saw this on gametrailers and it shows the evolution of Heavenly Sword when it first debuted as an Xbox Exclusive. Not 360. But the big black and green machine of yore. And then, it moved to a bigger black machine, a better one.

The video is amazing. It shows how Heavenly Sword has changed - still the same environment and main character, but different designs - more detail added obviously, in every single part. Makes you realised how ugly those graphics we used to pray upon years ago compared to the HD glory we have today.

Also, did you know that Ninja Theory was once called Just Add Monsters? Those guys who made Kung Fu Chaos? Yeah, that was a fun game. Irritating at some parts, but fun most of the time. Those guys worked for Microsoft back then. Guess MS didn't like how Kung Fu Chaos turned out. The game didn't fare well.

Even Nariko herself has gone through a number of cosmetic changes. From black hair to red, a mole under her eye to ... wait, does she still have one currently? Plus, she looks more ethnic chinese now. The only unfortunate change is how the current Nariko has more skin covered compared to the 2005 Xbox exclusive version of her. Okay, I'm kidding. I love how she looks like now. Her clothing rocks! Really.

Anyway, I'll stop writing. Here's the video.
